The Unofficial Furman Football Page

......from today, players report and preparation for the 2018 season begins and the season will mark the 30th anniversary of the Paladins only National Championship season. That was before cell phones, HD TV and many other things. Where has time gone? Really, like many of us I have to think of just how many more seasons will I see? Kinda scary. Oh well what can you do? As always, looking forward to another season. Go Paladins.

Was at Tacoma Wash for the Tracy Ham bowl and Pocatello Idaho for the rematch,exciting times. Didn't think I would live to see another run like these. Happy to say I'm beginning to change my mind. Can see a purple light in the tunnel and its comming fast! Heres to Purple Reign!! Hide the women and children!

Tacoma Dome - site of the most disappointing 2nd half of Furman football.
Mini-dome in Pocatello - greatest day in Furman football

apaladin - going deep!

I'm glad I was there for the Pocatello Game…
it's weird when I think back on "important" games for Furman - that game doesn't come to mind first.

Beating GSU on their turf in 2001 does.
Sadly the loss to APP in 2005 does.
Losing to Reno in 1990 does.

I guess my point for Apaladin. Your right we don't know how many more seasons of Paladin Football we will each see, hopefully, it will be many more for all of us. As I've gotten older… I've learned to enjoy the game - I want the DINS to win of course but I no longer live or die just if the Paladins win.

I don't know about you fellows, but I'm here for the long haul.

Unless the team gets back to where we start trying to run around defenses out of the spread again. I'm not sure I can take another season of that crap.

In this system, that is just a nightmare we will never see again. It sure as hell is hard to forget though. Late developing, poorly executed, unimaginative, down wasting nonsense.

I am absolutely not kidding when I say I watched a game from my living room and figured out Furman’s offensive signals when they would show our sideline.

If I could figure out a few plays in a couple of frames, how easy do you think that was for an opposing defense? Sometimes it looked like they knew what was coming and I am virtually certain they did.
