Furman University vs. North Greenville University

#5 yes very difficult to read especially on the field. A program or roster card would have been nice. Looked everywhere and asked several peeps but no one had them. Do we have to bring our own next game? Hoping it was just a one time miscue.

It was a great night. I loved the new uniforms . I wish we played more night games, especially the first few of the season when it is so hot.

Just pull up the roster on your phone. Easy enough.

Paraphrasing Erk Russell, we can't make the jerseys easy to read because we need to sell programs.

Exactly. If you don’t want to have it on your phone, print it at home and bring it. Printing programs is a waste of good money.

It's not like Furman doesn't/hasn't wasted money. Note the flag fiasco, and 5 individual parking passes to every season ticket holder. A roster card would be easier that powering up the phone every time you want to check something.
Also agree about the unis. Almost impossible to read from the stands (especially up high).

Flag fiasco? What’s that about?

Rec’d the 5 individual parking passes last week and thought, “Hmmm, that seems a bit wasteful.” So…gotcha there….not familiar with a flag fiasco, but FUBeAR doesn’t have your chops in the flag game.

Finally watched it. I know it was just North Greenville, but that was impressive. The offense looks super confident and the execution is really crisp. Whoever snagged that QB needs to get a raise.

•REGARDING FLAG FIASCO:
- that might refer to sending a beautiful “diamond F” Furman Football flag to me and to who knows how many other “minor” supporters. That seemed like a wasteful expenditure, though the flag I received does now occupy a very visible place at our house (in the garage actually).
•REGARDING NO PRINTED PROGRAMS:
- yes I missed those being available. If Firman cannot afford those or wants to save trees, then just print and have them for sale at the stadium for “$5 for 2” limited supply (possibly reprint in stadium before supply ends).
•REGARDING PARKING PASSES:
- I have hard enough time keeping up with 1, but I was glad to get the 5.
•COMPLAINT:
PA was inaudible at least in concourse and also outside stadium before game.
•AND THIS NOTE:
Using my IPhone to look at player rosters during game, I counted a total of about 9 (nine) players on Furman from SC high schools, and a total of about 90 (ninety) players on NGU from SC high schools.

1935
69-0 over Piedmont

1932
58-0 over Erskine

81 more Players from SC for NGU
52 fewer points for NGU

Coincidence or nah?

Our local boys went for about 15 years with only one loss to a Georgia team (Valdosta). But we have lost a couple in the last 2 years. Beat a GA team last night though. I’m sure the gigantic schools north of Atlanta are better than us, but I think similar sized schools in GA and SC are pretty comparable.

In SC, the Furman kind of kid stopped going out for football years ago. They only play Madden. Many are told from birth that people who look like them cannot play sports. Others are told that people who like them aren’t supposed to study and make good grades. So hardly anybody plays sports and studies. Pretty messed up.

But both teams were horrible last night. HS football is going downhill alarmingly fast. Coaches can’t coach anymore. They can only makes suggestions in a calm and supportive tone of voice.

Coincidence or nah?

No correlation whatsoever.
Just an interesting observation, in my opinion.
If I would have to state a point, and I do not even know that it's true, I would state this: good football players from SC high schools, public and private, generally do not like Furman, for some reason, and it is unfortunate for all concerned if that is true.

Yep just shows the talent level is not there in SC. Personally I could care less what state a player is from if he can play.
