Nice to see all the enthusiasm and verbiage, but I am still interested in the reality as it unfolds. Also, we had some very good teams in the mid -seventies.
Everything posted in here is reality (history)

Of course the 70's were very good

Right now is very good as well

Going forward the sky is the limit!

The. 70’s were not good. They were great. Once upon a time we won at Clempson by 19 and then beat UNC and NC State in an 8 day period.
Absolutely were great.
At the time, we did not realize how great the 70's were.
Even though happy about 2023, I do not anticipate 2023 eclipsing many, if any, of those 10-12 years.

They obviously were not around then. Our schedules were far more difficult then as well. Sorry, waiting for the realty - at the end of the season. Everybody can talk big now-
Yes, waiting for the reality at the end of the season, INCLUDING how we actually do in the NCAA Tournament, and INCLUDING how we do in being able to retain our coach.

We went 1-7 in the NCAA's back then, and also Joe Williams (our successful coach) left for Florida St.

Right now 'Clempson' is scared to play us and we've got a good bit to be proud of so far recently as well, hopefully much more to come including an NC St. scalp this season ;)

You guys crack me up, how does this turn into a 'the 70's were better' theme?

Has absolutely nothing to do with the point of this thread, like at all

How about be excited that we a freaking good AGAIN ;)

Glad I could crack you up. Probably the best thing that has happened to you in awhile. You are extremely cocky about a season which has not even occurred yet. I hope you are correct.

I am not cocky, anything can happen, but I am certainly excited :D

I am as excited as anyone but cautiously optimistic. Still think there are many questuons to be answered. Bothwell and Slawson show up every game. Who else is ready for that? Anyone on the team is capable of having a good game but who can join MB and JS and show up every game? We seem to have conveniently forgotten we lost 2 really good shooters both who are overseas playing professional ball.

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
