FYI the records we are chasing for history purposes:

1932 ------ 15-1
1930 ------ 16-1

Seattle (one of our 12 wins) just beat BIG 10 Washington on the road, nice

When we got to 13-1 in 1931, what teams among the 13 were the comparable level of CIU, Oglethorpe, and Montreat?

Clempson, SC and UGA.

For now, I'll think the way Sad Din thinks, not the way FU Hoopla thinks.
Do it IN the conference, including in the SoCon Tournament, before you talk so highly about it.
I do recognize and acknowledge that the team has done great so far, and I am grateful for that.

Well we know you have predicted some losses already so what difference does it make which frame of mind you take
Let's talk highly about it as it deserves to be, OOC portion DONE at 12-1, some great wins over Princeton and Belmont and only loss at Top 10 Kansas....
Going for the best start in FU hoops since 1931 (93 years ago) on Jan. 1st (13-1) if we play solid TEAM ball like we have!
Time for everyone to get on board and let's freaking GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Who all did we beat to get to win 13 of the first 14 games that season?
What was our overall final W-L record that season?

You like to ask a lot of questions that can easily be found in a minute or two. It's the gofurman method on the football forum.

In 1931-32, we finished the season 15-1:
19-8 W Davidson
16-37 L North Carolina
31-24 W South Carolina
43-14 W The Citadel
26-24 W College of Charleston
33-13 W Wofford
24-18 W Clemson
28-17 W Newberry
29-22 W Newberry

22-19 W South Carolina
41-15 W Presbyterian
23-11 W The Citadel
23-19 W Clemson
54-13 W Presbyterian
20-18 W Wofford

My main takeaway is that PC was terrible that year.

We got revenge on UNC at the North/South Doubleheader in Charlotte in ‘77 or thereabouts.

I consider 12-1 an early Christmas present. Get your Merry on, people!

Ahh yes, Jewish Progressive was our only loss in 1929, but we got revenge on those boys in 1930 baby!

For the 3 consecutive seasons of 1929-30,1930-31, and 1931-32, our combined W-L record was 46-4. 18 of our wins and none of our 4 losses during that time were against Clemson (6-0), USC (6-0), and Wofford (6-0). Somehow (!), we lost against UNC ( 0-2), College of Charleston (we won 2, we lost 1), and Jewish Progressive ( 1-1). Other wins included Georgia (1-0), Florida (1-0), Wake Forest (1-0), Davidson (2-0), Citadel (6-0), PC (6-0), Newberry (6-0), Atlanta Athletic (1-0). (My summary of the results in the record book may add up to 1 fewer win than the record book indicates.)

[apaladin]

Whole different world back in those days.

[Affirm]

Whole different world back in those days.

For sure.
Whole different comparative level of quality at those ACC and SEC schools (which I think were Southern Conference schools even before Furman was Southern Conference), then compared to now; whole different level of resources and support; etc.
Even so, it appears to be a fact that we did achieve amazing success in those 3 consecutive seasons.
By the way, the comment "Whole different world back in those days" brings to mind the way of life (including highway travel, etc.) depicted in a movie that I viewed for the first time recently. "It Happened One Night", starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, was released in February 1934, so 2 years before the most recent of those 3 seasons.

Lol. NO. CATEGORICALLY WRONG. . Sometimes I really feel I am wasting my time here. Need smarter peeps. lol

My questions are often deeper and different - in a salient fashion - than the recipients usually understand.

I ask literally “when is the last time we were OUT GAINED by 300+ yards rushing”.

Someone replies “ that’s in the game notes”. NO. IT’S. NOT. What is in the game notes is “when is the last time an opponent gained 300 rushing yards vs Furman?’ THAT’S. DIFFERENT. Opponent X can easily gain 300 yards on us but if we gain just 20 yards rushing they did NOT OUT GAIN us by 300 yards. They outdid us by 280 yards.

Just like the other day someone replied thinking I had misread their post… when actually THEY had misread the chain of replies. Ironic, huh ?

It’s a HUGE STRUGGLE here to get accuracy. Many great posts. Tons of great posts. But a lot is lacking in the accuracy and detail department on this board. I follow Dukebasketballreport.com. Whose lead podcaster has been bragging on Furman basketball !!! - this is an example in and of itself. And they are FAR MORE DETAIL-oriented and careful to read the actual questions there. Again, they have even discussed the Furman basketball program specifically and how they wish we would get a “mid-major” battle on ESPN for further credibility since we will not get another shot at any team ranked above 100 in the net. This coming from the podcast of a team that held Wofford to 14 points in the first half and could easily dismiss the SoCon as total crap. I was there. Duke 51. Wofford 14 at half. LEAST POINTS SCORED vs Duke at half in the shot clock era !!!!!! Yet they don’t dismiss the SoCon. That’s class. They are promoting Furman on their board and by their senior podcaster .

Back on point. they READ WITH MORE DETAIL AND INTENTION.

I wish we did that here
