2020 Schedule

[Paul C]

I’ve heard September 12 is @Charleston Southern.

PLEEEEAAAASSSSEEE NOOOOOO!!!! Tell me ain't so. I was afraid of this. Playing in the worst D1 fcility in the country!! Maybe we could platy ar a Charleston high school, which would be much better or maybe a county rec. field.

That was my initial feeling but heading to Charleston right after Labor Day, with a Furman game to attend, seems like a nice way to spend a long weekend.

My hope is we got a 2-for-1. But based on the performance of the Big South and SoCon in the postseason, maybe there isn't much difference in the leagues after all and a simple 1-for-1 is appropriate.

Not for my money. To put it mildly, Charleston stinks, literally.

We’ve been to Charleston several times a year for as long as I can remember. I’ve never smelled this stench you refer to. Never. Beautiful city. I agree with PaulC. September is a wonderful time to visit the Holy City.

I agree with apaladin. As I pulled out of there headed West on Wednesday afternoon the olfactory assault emanating from the area brought tears to my eyes.

I lived in Chucktown for six years. And yes when the tide is low and there is no wind, the paper mills and pluff mud can be offensive. As far as the Bucs stadium....let’s not assume we are too good for a return game.

Stuck in the wrong decade with that mentality...like the early 1980s. Admittedly a great decade from Furman’s standpoint, but the landscape has changed tremendously in 35 years. You don’t just get home games anymore from FCS foes, or 2-for-1s. That’s long gone. Best to deal with reality instead of living in lah-lah land. Might be news to you that Boise State, Nevada, Georgia Southern, UCF, and Middle Tennesssee State are no longer FCS programs. Yep, times change.

More like primordial ooze burping bubbles of sulphur gas mixed with deer musk.

cd2, thanks for the ingredients!

Have we secured the 3rd OOC opponent for next season, or is this still a WIP??

If we haven't by now look for another non D1 game. Most teams schedules are complete so hoping FU's is too. It has to be a hime game as we would only have 4 home games if not.

Sounds like we'll be playing a D2 (or worse) game then...bummer.

Not about the team, but it's facility. 1,500 seats on home side. Visitors side is recreation field bleachers.

Without question...the worst facilities in FCS. But I'll still take it over any game vs. an NAIA or DII opponent.

Correct, not just opinion, it was actually voted as such.
