Amazon is holding up the project.....

ITs coming out we just don't know when. Its already filmed and editited.
Maybe to be released just before the new season, would seem like a good time as college basketball fans just start getting in the mood for hoops content?!?

Yeah I would think so as well. Hopefully it gets published ASAP. All that I know is that it is waiting for a home to be streamed on. Rn would be a good time since there is a lack of College Hoops news/games

IMHO and to state the obviuos... unless there is one heck-a-va back story... they missed the window.

Last fall just as the Bball season was starting would have been the perfect timing

Agreed... I will gladly watch this one, but the chance for a cult following on the documentary I think is gone.

Yes two years later after nearly everyone has transferred from that team is a bit late. Fans will love it but it won't create hype, especially after they gave a release date at one of the games

Still silence........................
Yep been over 6 months since the season ended. Plenty of time to have put it together by now. Mostly likeky not happening and too late now anyway
It is now out on Amazon Prime. It’s too late now, though, so apaladin won’t be watching.

Just watched episode one and am very impressed. A little sad it’s only 5 episodes which makes me think the orginal release date had more content :( and Amazon made some cuts

At the release party back in February at the Peace Center it was advertised as only a 5 part series so don’t think Amazon had much to do with it. The fact it costs money for even Prime members tells me it was a hard sell to get on their platform which is surprising! But I am bias. I’m enjoying it.

Ok that makes me feel better. I was thinking since it has taken a eternity since the original release that Amazon wanted to cut

Glad its out!
$18 is nothing to me to watch and other Furman fans will gladly pay that as well, but unfortunately that means others outside the FU community won't really see it...
Hoped it would be included with my Prime membership so that way many more Basketball fans outside the FU community would wind up watching it.
I do however understand the fact that this project needs a way to make its money back....

Same I think the price tag is going to hurt its potential to be a cult classic. I wanted some last chance U back story and filming but overall was happy with the final product.

If your a Furman fan it is definitely worth the price of admissions

After waiting this long $17.98 is not going to keep me from buying it. I feel we owe it to the producer anyway.

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
