Stetson and Furman
Cal Poly is 16-55 since 2017.
They have not had a winning season since 2016.
The last time they were “good” was 2012, when they were 9-3 and lost in the 1st round of the Playoffs.

EWU hasn’t been good in a while either. Plus Drake was picked as the PFL champion so the best of that conference. Stetson was picked last for reference.
St Francis has had a few good season I think. Don’t think Murray St has done much recently either.

Stetson starts fast, but ultimately Furman's athleticism is too much.

That Dayton win over St.Francis stands out. St. Francis beat FBS Kent State Saturday. Kent State now has to go to Tennessee this weekend. Wonder what the line on that one will be? 
I don't much care about the score.
Do the little things better. Get timing right. Catch the ball. Block your assignment. Communicate better. Get pass protection sorted out. Limit turnovers.

Agree to an extent. I mean, if we win 21-20 vs the Stetson Mad Hatters we have real issues. But yes, IMPROVE IMPROVE IMPROVE - also, are you ok if we do improve in an area or two but still lose on the scoreboard? If it was a good FCS I could agree but not to Stetson, ... this week we need to improve AND WIN on the scoreboard alsoThe Jackal wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2024 8:33 amI don't much care about the score.

But I get it. I have to assume you mean we are winning and you don't care if it is by 7 or 30. Still, a close win over Stetson would worry me going forward. As others corrected me - this is one of the worst teams in FCS
My Mistake.. just remember the Cooper Kupp years at EWU etc. And seeing Cal Poly in the playoffs. But my mistake
Well, EWU has been good more recently. They've just had a rough couple of years. They had a run of good QBs but I think they're still looking for that next guy. Probably still shouldn't be losing to Drake (even if they are the favorite in the PFL I think)

Obviously you want to win the game. I am not going to panic if we win by 10 and Vegas says we should win by 30. None of that really matters to me.
What matters to me is seeing a team that is cleaning up the mistakes. Play a clean football game.
The most important part of the schedule is still in front of us.

Aren't they the ones with the red playing surface?
"Women, Wind, and Fortune change quickly."
Yes! I used to love it when they were in the playoffs. Watching football on the red field was sort of a Christmas tradition.Davemeister wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2024 1:28 pmFUwolfpacker wrote: ↑Tue Sep 10, 2024 9:50 amWell, EWU has been good more recently.

My prediculation is Furman 27 Stetson 24
Here's why:
1-I cannot predict a non-Furman victory. That is forbidden. That's explicit in the King James version, yet between the lines, so to speak.
2-The Evil Portal is still active, and we have no idea yet where it's even located, let alone a practical plan on how to close it.
3-We don't know if the Paladins will show up with their lawn chair offensive line or not. You know, you get a nice folding lawn chair, set it up, and it does just fine until my 300 pound little brother shows up and drunkenly sits his girth on it and WHAM it collapses to the dirt. So you look at the lawn chair and examine the thin aluminum frame and plastic webbing seat and back, and decide that it's okay because it appears manufactured with the highest lawn chair engineering standards (no cellophane tape nor bits of string) and you set it up again and then my little brother returns with three chili dawgs and a Big Gulp cup filled with beer and sits on it again and WHAM it collapses in the dirt. So you put it back together and set it up again and this time you're smart so you wiggle it into the dirt a bit and make sure its level and you get some leaves and sticks gathered around the base, and it looks all better now, then here comes my corpulent little brother running naked out of the woods frantically screaming that he needs a handi-wipe and he aims for the lawn chair and KA-WHAM its collapsed in the dirt again. So you set up the lawn chair again and Carson Jones steps back for a pass and WHAM he gets sacked by a 300 pound hairy messed up drunk with chili breath and curious sanitation habits.

Didn't think the UFFP would have me back, perhaps. Well, maybe I'm not "the norm". I don't "wear clothes that fit me". I'm not "hygienic" and "pop my white heads with a compass I used in high school".
Am he wear a Hat when he immersed from the wood to sack the FU QB?

I suspect a small crowd Saturday after the first 2 games. Maybe 6000-6500?
