Home Game Times Announced

[apaladin]

We are on Point’s schedule. Listed as an exhibition game. That’s another way of them saying “we gotta get paid.” Good move for them, IMO.

Amazing what one email will do, lol. May be the first "exhibition" game ever played at the end of the season.

Just so I'm clear on this...
The game will be an exhibition for Point (because of NAIA rule restrictions), but will be an "official" game for us?

I'm not smart enough to figure all of this out. I guess the two schools are governed by different organizations.

Yes it will count for FU but not for Point. We had the same situation in basketball. I think it was NGU or Southern Wesleyan where they called it an exhibition and FU counted it as a W.

We did not count any exhibition game in basketball as a win. We shouldn’t in football either. The only point in playing Point in football is to get a home game, in front of 2,500 fans. We are not playing the game to get into the playoffs.

I would have agreed with you until last year....

The game is at Furman. It counts. Point plays under a different governing body and it can call it what it wants. Under the NCAA rules, this appears to be a normal home game.

Like I said we counted the games against Southern Wesleyan and NGU and they did not. We played those 2 games on Nov. 15th and Nov. 22nd last year and they are not even listed on their last years schedule.

Furman missed the post season, but it really had nothing to do with whether we scheduled a win over an NAIA team. It had far more to do with surrendering a three-touchdown lead in Johnson City.

We deserved to be in the post season, but opted to leave it up to the committee instead of handling our business. Someone gets screwed every year by leaving their fate to the committee.

The canceled game against Colgate cost us last year. if you win that game you're in. If you win the game at ETSU you're in too.

The game against Point U will help with our record. A better record may help fractionally with national polling, and being slightly higher in national polling will help us with getting into the playoffs..... But don't try to confuse this Point game with the Colgate or Charleston Southern game. One is a a clear non-conference foe, the other is a way for Furman to make a little extra money.

I don't think Furman gets in last year with a 7-4 record with a win over an NAIA team because the committee clearly hated us since we weren't even listed among the last few out. But we have got to stop forgetting Lamar in all of this. Only non-conference win was over an NAIA team. Was 1-4 before winning 6 straight conference games to finish 7-4. They got in. So the precedent has been set that if Furman loses its two FBS games, dropped two more to SoCon teams and finished year at 8-4 with a win over Point, that the Paladins should be deserving of a spot in a non-impressive year across FCS.
