The Unofficial Furman Football Page

A plethera of college baseball coming to Fluor Field starting March 1st but no Furman sadly. Florida St, Michigan St., Western Michigan and Illinois all play the first weekend. Clemson and South Carolina return too, but are playing PC and Upstate instead of Furman. Just a shame.

Watching a SoCon baseball team host the number one team in the country. That woud never happn in any other sport. FU does not have baseball.

Update: UNCG takes down the number one team in the country on their home field and storms the field on espn.

Popularity of this thread matches the popularity of our baseball team when we had one.

Shame (or actually, “who cares?”) is another SoCon team losing 3 days ago by a score such as 5-22. Run-rule called off the continuation of the game or it would have been worse.

What a shame that we continue to post about a defunct program. BB is alive and in progress. Go Dins!

aPaladin might try championing an additional women's team (my suggestion: women's field hockey). They'd need an accompanying men's team, and baseball would be perfectly situated for reintroduction, albeit through the back door.

Affirm has long ago suggested adding women’s field hockey in the past also.
Affirm fully disagrees that they (women’s field hockey ) would need any accompanying men’s team. (Even if there were to be any such alleged need, men’s lacrosse would be at least as well situated as baseball.)
Let’s focus on continuing to do well, as well as a small D1 school as Furman can do, to fully support and appreciate the great sports and great teams that we now have.

On the Fan radio show yesterday, Marc Ryan suggested that the Carolina Oanthers owner Tepper create some good will in the Upstate by offering to fund the Dins baseball program

Great idea... for those guys $20M is a tip and worth all the free advertsiing they will get from it

Dins could add Ladies Gymnastics which is a very popular fan sport. You would get every kid in a 20 mile radius attending. Plus it would be a great event at New Tmmons

Clemson just started women's gymnastics, so I think they have cornered that market. Let's focus on baseball, where there are many more great high school athletes in this state to choose from. If you don't believe me, look at how Wofford's program took off once we cut our program and they were able to take kids that we normally would have offered.

SD meant to add a ladies sport to offset the men's scholies
