Who is this team? I googled them but I cant find anything on them. As far as I can tell its a construction school?
Not sure, but who remembers the old Marathon Oil teams that FU played exhibitions for several years in the 70s-80s? I don't think they still exist, but they had some ballers back in the day and could be a good barometer for college teams early in the season.

That’s the presidents house…. Every FU president has lived there since the school bought it
I know but they could sell it and buy the president a more modest house and still have enough leftover for a baseball team. :D
I guess you are trying to be funny, but this is a ridiculous statement on your part. Besides, even a modest house is expensive. This property is owned by Furman, not the President of Furman. Why would Furman want to sell it?
Yes you should try and get a little sense of humor. :shock:

Guess the O is a little ahead of the D at this time :)
They were up 70-37 at half, youngsters got a lot of PT.

I remember them along with Athletes In Action.

I recall going to one of those Marathon Oil games in the Auditorium as a kid and asking my dad why an oil company had a basketball team. :D
