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.

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
