To say Mo has swung is an understatement. O looks totally different. Mercer is fired up now. We are on our heels all in 50 seconds.
I hope we do, but I think odds are stacked against us, especially with one less game.
Mercer Gameday!
The SoCon is weaker than it used to be, that's an objective fact. Pick any possible measure and the conclusion is obvious.
The only reason Furman has the slightest chance is because of the lag between the actual fall and everyone else realizing the extent of it.

Go look around the country and find five really dominant teams on the level of Furman/App/GSU from 15 years ago.youwouldno wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 4:57 pmThe SoCon is weaker than it used to be, that's an objective fact. Pick any possible measure and the conclusion is obvious.

NDSU is the only one. I have a lot of reasons why that is, but this is not just a SoCon thing. It's an everywhere in the country thing.
Bethune Cookman leading FAMU late. That would be a big win for us.
Conference strength is not just about elite teams. Way more than just elite teams make the playoffs.The Jackal wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 4:59 pmGo look around the country and find five really dominant teams on the level of Furman/App/GSU from 15 years ago.youwouldno wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 4:57 pmThe SoCon is weaker than it used to be, that's an objective fact.

Top to bottom, the SoCon is weaker, compared to the rest of FCS, than it used to be. End of story. Ultimately, that means less playoff spots will go to SoCon teams, because fewer SoCon teams deserve it.
One reason is the emergence of some new football schools that have pulled quality athletes that Furman once had first dibs on - GA State and Kennesaw State are just a couple that have pulled away quality players that might have typically gone to Furman and other SOCON schools.The Jackal wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 4:59 pmGo look around the country and find five really dominant teams on the level of Furman/App/GSU from 15 years ago.youwouldno wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 4:57 pmThe SoCon is weaker than it used to be, that's an objective fact.

I'm not going to debate the narrative arc of SoCon football. It distracts from my enjoyment of the game.
Devin Wynn is having a Louis Ivory sort of game to this point.

Great drive!! Took all day on the blocked XP. Time for the defense to step up.
Still a chance at a SoCon title. Plenty to play for and an at-large bid not out of the question.
Florida A&M loses. That's a big result for bubble teams as NC A&T wins the MEAC and will skip the FCS playoffs.
Oh no!! They changed QB's. Remember last time a team did this?
