Second article: Richey says Bothwell and Slawson jerseys will be retired (he says “I don’t know how or when, numbers 20 and 3 will be in the rafters someday”).

Doesn’t Lunardi have the nearby land-grant university among the “first four out”? The Paladins might be the only game in town to cover.
USC women, deservedly, will get far more coverage than Furman. And CofC men, deservedly, will get coverage.

That’s the online version. I’m withholding judgement until I see the print edition. Maybe Thursday?

The Furman story is a sportswriters dream.

1. Slawson and Bothwell come back to avenge last year's devastating loss and actually get it done!

2. Coach Richey last year "We're going to get back to that Championship game and we're going to cut down those nets!"

3. J.P. Pegues left off All-SoCon teams and wins MVP of Tourney.

Those stories write themselves. You couldn't make it up any better. The national media is starting to pick up on it already. Cinderella has already been born.

I love # 3. Almost an embarrassment. But Pegues was even better in the tourney than he was late in the season. If he had been hitting his 3’s in the last two games, he would have been even more impressive. Between his drives and his lack of turnovers, he is amazing.

Granted he did not play much last year and started slow this year, I think he could be one of the best guards to play at Furman and could be POY the next two years.

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
