If 6 weeks from now NC State sucks and they are proven to be over-rated, will the “ I told you crowd” still be drooling over Western?
Western deserves credit for hanging with a P4 team regardless of how good they end up being.

I do not believe any Furman fan should be under the impression that Western was not going to be a good football team. They're going to be tough.
Never said they were not going to be a good team. They always play Furman tough. Been doing that since some of you were wearing Huggies. They were a good team last season until they blew it and then fizzled. It’s way too early to judge any team, FCS or FBS. And yes, I hate Western.

SoCon won't be a cakewalk this year.
Tell me the last 5 times it was a cakewalk. I cannot remember any of those years.
Not that long ago. Samford went 8-0 in 2022 with 6 of their 8 wins by double digits with FU by 7 and MU by 6 the exceptions. Maybe not a cakewalk but pretty close.

Furman woulda-could-shoulda gone 8-0 last year. Don't think the SoCon champ will win 'em all this season either. Wouldn't be surprised to see a 2-way or 3-way tie for the Top Spot.

Tell me 4 more years.
I only asked for the last 5 times. You mentioned only 1 year, and in doing so you said "maybe not a cakewalk, but pretty close".
So while you're at it, go ahead and tell me last 5 years it really was a cakewalk.
I believe it is has almost never been a cakewalk, but if anyone can set the record straight, please do.
... Slightly changing the subject: today has been a pathetic day for FCS teams against FBS. Very few have even been close.
