Saw Purple on the Diamond & was ready to cheer for my Paladin Baseball Team…but, alas…I find myself only a Catamount Fan today…

Beautiful sight! The construction crane is for a much needed parking deck I think.

Purple Baseball, facing adversity with a positive attitude, determination, and resilience, stays alive in the SoCon…

…while the Teary-ers tuck their bobbed, curly tails, pack their bags, and head back up I-85 to their kennel in SparkleCity.

Abeit for a misplayed routine fly ball by Mercer the teary-ers would have been 0-2, but they are home and thats what matters. FYI PC won the BS tourney and is in the NCAA tourney for the first tme. Little ol PC can have a baseball team but Furman can’t? Congrats to the hose. FUBear has the diamond F been removed from the home dugout?

This is the kind of moment that is missed.... little JMU Dukes albeit Softball just knocked off #8 Mizzou to head to first Softball World Series!

Baseball softball loves the underdog!

Yeah…Mercer’s Baseball Team , apparently, became huge Woffraud fans the past 2 weeks - handed ‘em the regular season championship last week, then let ‘em not go home on day 1 of the tournament. Worst showing for Mercer’s Baseball Team since they joined the SoCon. Glad to see the Purple Team send the PorchYappers home.

Didn’t see the <F> on the dugout, but wasn’t looking for it, so can’t swear it wasn’t there.

Games were fun. Sure missed having a (real) Team to cheer for though. :cry:

Anyone else wrote ED. Please do if you haven’t. I have.
......and of course as expected no reply from ED.
I sent a very personal, non inflammatory letter last May, 2020. Explained how I became acquainted with Furman in 1978. Still waiting...

Yep she is right and it is not up for discussion. Thats the way a dictator operates.

My guess would be she has never seen it. It was screened and filed in the circular file. Unimportant.

Thats what I was thinking, at least a form letter, but nothing. To just ignore peeps that I am sure are all donors just stinks.

FUBeAR aspires to, one day, refine myself to the point of becoming nearly qualified to associate with the unwashed rabble.
