2022 Outlook

[DC Paladin]

11-1 with the tigers being booed by the death valley minions as they leave the field at halftime.

Those halftime home fans boos in Columbia in ‘82 was the sweetest song FUBeAR has ever heard.

Perhaps topped only by the "Sounds of Silence" at the end of the game!

……. and remember SC scored a TD on the last play of the game to make it more “respectable”.

[Davemeister]

We prolly let them score.

[The Jackal]

Hadn't really spent time watching his highlights, but Kyndel Dean looks like he might end up being a really big pickup for Furman through the transfer portal.

He's a big kid, runs good routes, can take a hit, can stretch the field, and doesn't appear to go down easily.

[AllTimeFU]

Looks like a great addition to the program.

[FUBeAR]

LOL - dude, most of Bus2 was already celebrating at Rumours in downtown Columbia when they scored that meaningless TD.

[FUBeAR]

Massey (if you put any stock in Massey (FUBeAR does not)) is projecting 6-5 / 4-4 for the Paladins.

A projected loss at VMI would definitely ruin that Saturday for me. Didn't they lose a ton through the portal ?

I don't get wound up about a computer pontificating on unplayed games.

I do think that a number of games will be close, but I'm not sure our fans can take a season with nearly every game being essentially a toss up.

[apaladin]

That’s what I was thinking. Every game down to the wire. I doubt many of us would be happy if we struggle thst bad against NG.

[The Jackal]

Looks like a transfer from No Colorado

[AstroDin]

^^^ Furman offered a while back, had plenty of other offerings, including Troy, Maine, MissValleySt.
Emmanuel is physically impressive;

[The Jackal]

Just my guess, but Adebayo looks like a guy that can potentially slot in as that Elijah McKoy type ILB/Bandit/play everywhere defender.

Gives coach Vaughn another option and ability mix and match across the defense and bring pressure from different spots.

[AllTimeFU]

SOCON games of the week announced. Furman has 2.
