"Women, Wind, and Fortune change quickly."
There are three more scheduled home games (the Citadel, ETSU, and VMI).
According to the pre-season tease of new helmets, there's at least one contemplated combination of silver helmets with purple/white uniforms. There are two versions of the silver helmet, one of which incorporates the black logo, which we saw against TTU.
I do not know if they've already done so, but I suspect there will be a game honoring the 50th anniversary of the logo where we see silver helmets with purple lettering over the purple/white.
I should note that prior to the TTU game, it looked like the team practiced in the silver helmets. I don't see where we are doing that this week, so I would expect the white lids against the Citadel.
Other than that, it's hard to know what else we might see jersey wise. Purple/white. There's a purple/gray shown in the preseason promo. We wore black for homecoming last year, so anything's game, I guess.

Furman 38 Cid 6. Hendrix plays 2nd team from mid 3 Q on.
I know players like all the new threads/helmets but I really like the classic all-white on the road and purple/white combo at home, yes I am old school. Since there is no hint/tweet this week I afraid we won’t see the aforementioned classic uni today.The Jackal wrote: ↑Fri Oct 06, 2023 1:58 pm

Seems we should discuss Volleyball since this is the only thing the bellhops are discussing on their Message Bored, um, sorry, Board.
Since both CIT& WOFF have Football Teams that are 0-5, can we assume causality, i.e., getting good in Women’s Indoor Volleyball makes a school’s Football Team weak? What factors could be creating this linkage?
Also…it would seem that, optimally, to support a strong Football Team, a school would want their Women’s Indoor Volleyball Massey Rating to range between 6.0 and 6.5. Going over 7.0 seems to be nearly the equivalent of the Football Death Penalty! Does this bode poorly for Chattaquitta (6.53) in their critical matchup with the Cantamounts (6.15) this Saturday?
At 12-3 with a 6.48 rating, though, are we entering the “at-risk zone?” Do we want the Furman Indoor Women’s Volleyball Team to lose to Chatt on Friday and Mercer on Saturday to ‘protect’ the Football Team?
Trivia Question: When did “Rally Serve Scoring” become the standard practice in NCAA Indoor Women’s Volleyball?
Hint…Since the year that rule was implemented, Furman Football has never returned to such lofty heights. Coincidence? Hmmm?
Hated to see the Ladies lose to the Scenic City Mockettes yesterday, but if they needed to take one for the Team to ensure our Football victory over the bellhops, FUBeAR thanks them for their service! (New Massey Rating = 6.39; much safer than 6.48)

Best game are secondary has had so far. 
Outside of the penalties, I like how Furman's defense is playing. Can't be helped that The Citadel appears to have brought their A game.

Hope they wake up soon. Bye week rust
Not playing like #4 so far ….
Horrendous start to this game in every phase. The Citadel is terrible and we’re right there with them so far!
Soo. I missed most of q1. But since I’ve seen a. A looong drive where we did well and then the smallish CITAdel DL stopped us on 4 down and 1. Than a pick by Blackshear. Annnnd we don’t score ANY yet starting at the 20. CMON
The Citadel is up for this one.
We're fine. Came out a little flat but we're starting to put things together.
