On the post game show, someone on FB asked about the time they would arrive back. Bob told the to check social media accounts. I noticed on another thread that some did meet them. I was driving back for Birmingham. They deserved a great greeting. I hope someone noticed those social media posts and sent an email Blount to all students.
Yeah we got no email or anything, didn't even know there would be a welcome for them returning

Samford board:

“By the way, I watched the game last year. Funniest finish I’ve ever seen. I Love to watch Furman faithful think they are going to win, and then have victory snatched from their greedy little grip and lose. I don’t know why I hate Furman . . . wait, yes I do. Your fans are complete jerks. You, not so much, I kind of like you, but the assitude of your fans and sense of entitlement is why every school can’t stand Furman. Y’all beat us fair and square Saturday. I have yet to hear a Furman fan admit Samford has ever beaten Furman in anything. It is always the refs, the weather, this or that excuse.“

Not sure which one of you peed in his cheerios.

Frankly, when you read stuff like that it makes it more fun to see Furman walk into their building in their biggest home basketball game in years and just shove them around.
Them being so confident in winning that game, then us destroying them, and all they can do is say oh but you lost to citadel...so good

That kinda sucks, they could have at least texted everyone. Guess FU didn’t want to make a big deal of it.

The best support any FU fan/student can show this team is to be in Asheville at 12pm this Saturday, that's all that matters!

I was able to go. Looked like 30-50 peeps. The team got there about 8:30 after flying in to downtown airport. I was a little surprised they flew to Sammy. Didn't notice coach there. May have missed him.

Sounds like the welcome back our Socon champs was underwelcoming albeit a very good idea. I think FU, fans, students should organize a send off when the team leaves for Asheville this week. Pep band, cheerleaders and fans could give them the send off they deserve and perhaps would help motivate our fan base to cheer them in Asheville as we battle for our tournament Socon Tournament Championship and a trip to the Big Dance.

I believe there will be a sendoff, it should be on Saturday at 10:00 A.M.
Exactly. Knowing these guys, I bet they didn’t want to make a big deal out of winning the regular season championship. This team has a much bigger mission.

That is only 2 hours before tipoff, lol. I’m sure the team will be in Asheville on Thursday, Friday morning at the latest.
The official send off from the team hotel is 10:00 on Saturday morning.

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
