Furman Football 100 Years Ago This Week

[Affirm]

One hundred years ago this week, on 10/29/1921, Furman Football beat The Citadel 42-0, closing out an October in which Furman struggled to get to a 3-2-1 season-to-date record.
(The previous 3 weeks had seen a 7-27 loss at Georgia, a 0-69 loss at Georgia Tech, and a 0-0 tie in Greenville against a not-good Clemson team.)
(By the way ("by-the-way" ONLY because I started this post after looking back exactly 100 years, above, not 101 years):
101 years ago, the 1920 season, Furman's 9-1-0 record had included 7 shutouts including against Elon, Erskine, Wake Forest, Newberry, Wofford (69-0), Clemson (14-0), and Davidson. The one loss that Furman suffered in that 1920 season was 0-7 against Georgia. The other wins, in addition to the 7 shutouts, had been against The Citadel (21-6) and Oglethorpe (42-3). The 6, 7, and 3 points, respectively, scored by The Citadel, by Georgia, and by Oglethorpe made up the 16 total points that were scored against Furman in that entire 9-1-0 season versus the 286 total points scored by Furman in that 9-1-0 season.)

11/13/93 was awesome. It was a homecoming and the turds were ranked in the top 5 if I recall correctly. We were a 3-8 team that year. This was before Timmons was built so that was parking. It was a Grantland Rice day and in the late afternoon gloaming I don’t think I have had more fun harassing opposing fans on the way back to their cars than I did that day. F*** those green clad pieces of shit. Many of them told me I was #1. Probably one of the most satisfying wins.
