Who is this team? I googled them but I cant find anything on them. As far as I can tell its a construction school?
Not sure, but who remembers the old Marathon Oil teams that FU played exhibitions for several years in the 70s-80s? I don't think they still exist, but they had some ballers back in the day and could be a good barometer for college teams early in the season.

That’s the presidents house…. Every FU president has lived there since the school bought it
I know but they could sell it and buy the president a more modest house and still have enough leftover for a baseball team. :D
I guess you are trying to be funny, but this is a ridiculous statement on your part. Besides, even a modest house is expensive. This property is owned by Furman, not the President of Furman. Why would Furman want to sell it?
Yes you should try and get a little sense of humor. :shock:

Guess the O is a little ahead of the D at this time :)
They were up 70-37 at half, youngsters got a lot of PT.

I remember them along with Athletes In Action.

I recall going to one of those Marathon Oil games in the Auditorium as a kid and asking my dad why an oil company had a basketball team. :D

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
