Not sure GF but I believe the extension was done before the season started.
Furman at WCU
We need to focus on making things right against WCU. We still have a lot of improving to do in every phase of the game and last I checked, this is a SoCon game and counts towards all of our goals (which are on the table). I can't explain what happened on Saturday and would love another crack at the Bellhops, but all we have is a game on Saturday. Go FU!

FUBeAR tried to warn ‘em. When they were ridin’ high & making Playoff Game plans in 2017,( before Mercer ended that pipe dream), I was tellin’ ‘em that they just were not a very good football team - not well-coached & not enough talent to win many more games in the coming years.
They said I was being mean & picking on them. And they ‘proved me wrong’ by quoting the Avg. HT/WT of their O-Linemen (LOL).
Nope - just sayin’ what I was seein’ & tellin’ the truth. Since they beat the bellhops, 2 years ago this week, their only D1 wins have been over a bad (last year) VMI Team by 2 and over an awful Big South Team.
What was the name of that old-ish movie with Billy Crystal & Meg Ryan?...”Hopeless in Cullowhee”...something like that, I think.
The curse of the goalposts has come home to roost!
Oh yeah - I did see one particularly funny post on there...recalling their “glory days”...1983...the last time they made the Playoffs. The poster was crying about not being crowned SoCon Champions...even though Furman had a better SoCon record than WCU (hey - maybe they originated the “Participation Trophy” concept) and then said they made up for it by “beating the crap out of Furman in the Playoffs.” They won 14-7 and trailed the game until there was 6 minutes to go in the 4th quarter when they surmounted FU’s lead with a TD (by a Transfer from Georgia - Herschel’s gift to WCU Football) & a 2 pt XP. Yep - definitely was a CLEAR ROUT!

Good point FUBeAR, people often mistake the truth for being mean. It comes back to haunt them. Nothing to do with FU right now just an axiom that often holds true and yet I see people do it all the time.. stick their head in the sand and ignore whats going on instead of addressing issues.FUBeAR wrote: ↑Tue Oct 22, 2019 9:41 pmI would call it despair.

Game Notes for western are out
https://furmanpaladins.com/documents/20 ... maries.pdf
A few points of interest though I know our two deep isn't perfect. Still I don't see why to list a guy like Johanning if it isn't possible he may play - he hasn't been listed the past few weeks:
*A Trapp has been playing well at CB and is listed as "or" - I saw him on sideline with a sling during Citadel. I suspect he doesn't play this game either
*Blackshear has been doing great but he and Kearse are listed as 'or-'
*Roberto is at least listed as backupRB - that would mean no redshirt and probably says Maples can't go
* Jacob Johanning now listed at OG as True Freshh. Might he see PT vs Western? wouldn't surprise me
* also, I missed this last time but Chizik is listed as a possible KOR. I really don't want to see Wynn return KO (just fair catch)
Also of value - not sure about Tyrie but the Noseguard/DT for WCU is out so far. Adam Henderson
and their OL has 3 freshman !

It doesn't matter. Bring appropriate rain gear.

Anyone who says money can't buy happiness never had season tickets.
Me too. Vegas has us as a 26.5 point fave, if it was going to be sunny and dry I'd take that bet. In the rain, after last week? not so sure.
last 5 WCU scores:
10/19/19 @ WOF x ...LOSS 59- 7 (mostly without Adams but stil a killin')
10/12/19 @ CIT x ... LOSS 35- 17 (not really a bad showing vs a tough Cit team)
10/5/19 vs GWEBB x ... LOSS 24- 21 (basically equal to Gwebb)
9/28/19 @ UTC x... LOSS 60- 36 (yeah, score fest, wcu has no D)
9/14/19 vs NG x .... WIN 20- 17 (3 points better than NGU though no Adams)
summary? 3 points from NGU and Gardner Webb on either side. Like Jackal says, any Furman team that is 'back' does NOT lose this game. I don't care weather or whatever. If you are good you do.. not... lose. I give them credit for their Citadel score. ... Western is far weaker on D than O. Occasionaly the Western O shows up

Hope this NOAA map is wrong for all going to the game.

Looks like you may get your wish. In just a couple of hours it's gone from 60% chance of showers to 90% chance of rain.FUpaladin08 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 11:03 pmI hope it’s a monsoon and FU whips em so we can forget about this bad weather performance stuff.
