Sorry messed up
See corrected

If we lose and split w ETSU they hold the Tie breaker with us as they have a 2-0 record over UNCG

For the same reason we hold the tie breaker over UNCG

If we beat ETSU we will be 2-0 against them and hold the tie breaker over them

FWIW, I see 1-3 with 3 tossups. W vs. Citadel, L’s at ETSU, UNCG and WCU. Tossups at Sammy, home with UTC and WC. Even though we can’t seem to beat WC I am still hopeful.

While I know we have lost the last 3 to Wofford, it wasn’t that long ago (17-18) that we absolutely worked them in Timmons. Furman played one of their absolute worst games in Spartanburg this season. They will be ready and bounce back in a big way on 2/22.

I seriously think you say crap like this just to yank our chains.

We are 9-2 in the SoCon yet you think there is a real chance you think we will go 1-6 over the next 7. Unreal.

The old chain yanking ploy, you say? I think not. I think he means it. He is predicting the distinct possibility of a collapse for the ages. The plot thickens. It will be verrrry interesting to see just how this plays out. I wonder the rationale for such a dark prognostication?

apaladin is Mr. Negative. I assume this is the same guy that posts on Urban Planet. Poor guy looks at everything with a glass half empty attitude. I too, think he just likes to hear himself talk and loves to get a reaction. We need to ignore him.

Some of us would call them pessimists, while they see themselves as realists. I don't advise ignoring anyone on the UFFP. Much better to simply present results and facts, which usually ends the negativism (or, to their credit, occasionally reveals that we optimists are wearing purple-tinted glasses).

I’m disappointed this has taken a turn toward the personal. I know apaladin personally and we have disagreed regularly both on and off line. I would NEVER tell anyone to ignore him, despite my totally different perspective from him. I just think we need to stand down a bit here.

By the way, I could not disagree more with Mr Apaladin.....but I will defend to the death his right to say it

Aren’t you the one being negative taking what I said and taking it to the negative extreme? From what I said you could just as easily said 4-3. Even the most optimistic are saying 5-2. If we play like we did against VMI we could go 0-7 or if we play like we did against Mercer we could go 7-0.

Many posters on UFFP are much too optimistic. When others are even a little less optimistic, they are unduly criticized. People are allowed to have opinions and to express them.

If you define “tossup” as a game that’s 50/50, you are implying a 12.5% chance we would be 1-6. I’d bet the farm. And the farm house that we’d finish better than that. In fact I’d bet my $800 to your $100 we win 2 or more games down the stretch, you in?

FWIW the analytics (KenPom) says we go 5-2 and finish 14-4.

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
