The Unofficial Furman Football Page

What is this? Looks like the Cowboys copied our cartoon Paladin from circa 70s-80s:

That is an old school Cowboys logo that has been around forever, prolly before the FU one.

1966 for this Cowboys alternate logo https://sportslogohistory.com/dallas-c ... nate-logo/

Know the FU Silly Horse was in use in 1978. Not sure when it 1st appeared though. Coach Sheridan, apparently, did a good job of having its existence expunged from the interwebs around 1980 or so.

Another reason to appreciate Coach Sheridan. Thanks coach!

Football can do what it wants. But getting rid of the silly horse destroyed basketball.

Unless “Silly Horse” was the code name for Joe Williams’ bag man, FUBeAR finds this assertion somewhat suspect.

OK, maybe that’s a little bit of overreach. But generally you try to change as few things as possible when things are going good. We can’t bring Joe back from the dead unless we really bump up the salary and agree to overlook some stuff. So I’d settle for bringing back a good luck charm.
