My biggest peeve as a Furman fan is this lingering attitude or, more accurately, sports jealousy most accurately promulgated by supporters of FU hoops and directed at Paladin football. It’s so ridiculously unnecessary, petty, and just BS.
It’s as if the hiring of Joe Cantafio, Larry Davis, and Jeff Jackson, and the collective 15+ years of basketball misery they brought us was the fault of Furman football? Who hired those three stooges? Maybe connect those dots and do your best to appreciate the $millions spent by FU hoops over many decades for no rings. Thank goodness THAT finally changed over the last 10 years under Niko Medved and Bob Richey and their success is something we ALL can enjoy and appreciate.
FU has challenges, for sure, but we can win in football AND basketball concurrently. Been proven many times over the last several years.
So knock off the petty crapola and get behind the purple and white legion.
