Look. I am all Paladin. But things happen. Samford etc. We EASILY coulda lost to a horrible CSU team.

I’ll say 8-3. ksu I have no idea. Hope it’s easy. But Samford has the best qb in the nation per Sam Herder. Mercer has 2 of the top 5 WRs by the same list. We lost at western with our 2005 team. If you are an 80% chance to win in all 10 games .. odds of actually winning all 10 games is a mere 10%. Ten pct. And we aren’t an 80% favorite at Samford etc. I say 10 games as I’m just not messing with USC right now. Just like SAmford (loss) or Charleston southern (escape) last yr…. It’s SO hard to win each game. Ryan milller speaks to the Samford game in the interview. Things snowball in weird ways. Both ways

I’ll say 8-3 overall hoping for 9-2. That includes USC.

11-0 makes it so.
10-1 gets it done.
9-2 barely gets us through.
8-3 well...we'll see.
7-4 no playoffs for 'shor.'
6-5 internet 'coaches' thrive.
5-6 lotta dogs getting kicks.
4-7 no bread will leaven.
3-8 the heartbreak is great.
2-9 the sun don't shine.
1-10 FUBeAR's in the loony bin.
0-11 FUBeAR sends his own self to Heaven...or wherever.

I don't necessarily disagree with you that things happen. Any team to get to 9 or 10 wins is going to have to dodge a few bullets and have a fair amount of luck along the way.

Personally, I think we're the team to beat in the SoCon.

Yes, Samford's got a QB. They always have a QB, though. Honestly, at this point, you know exactly what to expect with Samford. They are the essentially the same team every year.

With how high Furman is starting in the polls and assuming one of your 3 losses is to South Carolina - I think 8-3 is a lock to get in. The SoCon is surprisingly getting good recognition preseason for a change.

7-4 would be below 50% chance you get in. 6-5 you're out

In a similar vein:

11-0 ain't so

10-1 would be fun

9-2 prolly true

8-3 don't wanna be

7-4 bar the door

Agree. Until last year. Didn’t Samford RUN for three or four huge gains and long TDS last year? I am asking. I think it was last year. Please correct me if wrong. I often am. That was so weird watching Sammy run for 40 yard TDS. Like bizzaro world

And yep. Stuff happens. Ask Bama or Clemson. They will be favored only to watch them Gamecocks beat ‘em !!

Samford doesn’t exclusively throw it. They run the ball well enough. That’s not new.

Edit: Only Furman and the Citadel had more rushing attempts than Samford did last season.

Anyone seen any Furman Whiskey on the shelf?
Total Wine has a display. Saw it somewhere else but can’t remember where. I’m not a drinker.😀

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
