Need to be there. 43 years since we last won it. If once every 43 years is our frequency, the next time we win it will not come until 2066. (Actually, I hope that once every 43 years is NOT our frequency. But who thought in 1980 that we would not win another one for 43 years. We've been in the SoCon for 87 years, I believe, so actually our average frequency is winning it once every 13 years. Duke, UNC, Wake Forest, NC State, Clemson, South Carolina, and Maryland left the SoCon in 1953 to form the ACC, so if you figure our average frequency since those schools left, that would be once every 10 years [this would be, if we win it, our 7th SoCon Tournament Championship in 70 years]).

Asheville has turned into a defunded police crime ridden dump. Time to relocate the SoCon.
Lol, of course Greenville would be better, but for now its time to get your asses up to Asheville and support the Paladins!

Make sure to drive your old beater car. Leave it unlocked so the windows don’t get busted out.

I am really looking forward to the trip to Asheville. We usually park at the Chamber of Commerce parking lot, which is a short three block walk to the arena. We go to Asheville often, and have never felt unsafe.

Same, I am sure they have their problems like everyone (Greenville included) but fortunately I have always had a great time there, and its only 1 hour drive from FU to get there, no excuse to not show up

Me either really except the whole time I was there last year, outside, inside, driving around etc never saw one policeman or police car. Leaving late was a little iffy.

About Us

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
