Unbelievable that with <136 seconds remaining, Drake football is within 3 of Iowa State.

Is the Pioneer completely non-scholarship?

Makes me believe that Furman could have won that game if the option to play had been available. Clearly ISU was sleepwalking to the extreme.

Yes - completely non-athletic scholarships for Football & unlike other “non-scholarship” leagues, they mean it. In recent years, the PFL has stripped San Diego & Jacksonville of wins, titles, and playoff opportunities for improprieties related to financial aid provided to Football Student Athletes vs. non-athlete Students.

If Drake had won that game, in fact, it would have been a much greater accomplishment & bigger upset than Appy’s well-publicized win over Michigan a few years back.

Also, this is the kind of outcome, a non-schollie FCS taking a RANKED P5 Team down to the wire, that should completely dispel the incessant drone of those in the media & fans decrying the scheduling of FCS vs. FBS games. It won’t, but it should.

As we Furman Fans well know... “...on any given Saturday...”

NC State
South Carolina
Georgia Tech
NC State
NC State
North Carolina
Central Florida

Who got ‘next?’

About Us

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
