Spring Football Schedule

Mercer edged out by Abilene Christian University within the friendly confines of FIve Star Used Cars stadium.

Five Star also sells New Cars in their 20+ locations (3 in SC)...

...that said...the $$$$$ they give to Mercer to have their name on the stadium is certainly well used by the Bears

Don't love the name, but "Five Star" is better than "Larry's New and Used Car Emporium Stadium."

Up until now I thought it was 5 Star plumbing, heating and cooling.

[FUBeAR]

It can be 5 Star whatever, but it’s quite a few 0’s and a couple of commas...which is nice.

Has anyone confirmed the date for the citadel game? is it April 10, for sure?

Don’t think so. It could be Feb. 27th.

April 10 is the only weekend there are only three SoCon games scheduled during the Spring season (Feb 20 - Apr 17). citadel and Furman are both open that weekend. Plugging the game in there makes the most sense.

February 27 is possible, but would take some shuffling of the schedule. I assume they would move the ETSU/VMI game from Feb. 27 to Apr 10. Then have ETSU play Mercer instead of VMI on Feb. 27 freeing up citadel to play Furman that weekend and citadel to play Mercer on April 10. Feb. 27 then becomes VMIs open week.

Feb 27:
citadel/Mercer
ETSU/VMI
WCU/Samford
Woffy/Chat
FU open

April 10:
Woffy/WCU
ETSU/Mercer
Samford/Chat
Furman and citadel open

CHANGE TO:

Feb 27:
citadel/Furman
ETSU/Mercer
WCU/Samford
Woffy/Chat
VMI open

April 10:
ETSU/VMI
Woffy/WCU
Samford/Chat
citadel/Mercer
FU open

Your suggestion seems a bit complicated for our SoCon staff. Past experience tells us that they don't have the capacity for analytical thinking.

April 10. https://www.postandcourier.com/sports/c ... eb6ed.html

Moved VMI game to Feb 27 and open date now March 27.

One of my favorite moments from a Paladin football game…

[The Jackal]

Full game is here:

Ike West's run is at 2:37:50

Watching the play again, I'm shocked we scored. GSU lined up with more men to the field side. We tried a little play action, but GSU didn't seem to bite. Ike West just outruns everyone.

You don't see him on the play, but you know Bratton was outside doing work. When West crosses the goalie, Bratton's the only purple jersey around about 5 Eagle defenders.

[apaladin]

Remember it well. What a game and atmosphere. Still my favorite Furman jerseys.

[Davemeister]

Wonder if I'll live to see 17,145 in Paladin Stadium again. At the end of the game we just hung around. Nobody wanted to leave.

One of the best if not the best game ever played in Paladin Stadium.
