Maybe I'm wrong, but perhaps losing to Wofford will be a silver lining. Maybe we needed a little shakeup.
Absolutely not. There is NEVER a silver lining in losing to WC.
Losing to Wofford sucks! That place gets under my skin more than that fake military school in Charleston. I hope Jackal is right. I really agree with AP on this one!
So what was Wofford supposed to do? Not try, out of respect for FU? Cannot blame Wofford for 11/18 debacle. I see The Jackal said Wofford maybe did us a favor, “Maybe we needed a little shakeup.”.

That has to be it.
Something beyond our understanding.

Duh, who else? They have to take responsibility particularly the coaches.

The thing we all need to remember is Furman just went through a gauntlet of SoCon road games this season.
The DINS played Samford, Western, Chatty, and Wofford on the road.

The DINS have to play teams that know Furman; we play each other every year. We're a challenge for an FCS team to prep for in just one week.

Need to watch this - he picks Furman to make it to the Semi's;
https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/arti ... -and-round
He also picks NC Central to win 2 games, so no credibility.
He has NCCU beating Richmond, which isn't that big of a stretch. Richmond is the 4th best CAA team and has some rough losses on their resume. NCCU has already beaten teams that beat Richmond.

He then has them beating Albany, another CAA team. Albany is arguably the weakest of the seeded teams in the tournament.

My personal opinion is the CAA is a largely overrated group. Their conference is so big that their best teams do not even play one another and their records are artificially inflated with beneficial scheduling.

We saw last season that one of the CAA's best teams - Elon - came to Furman and just got their doors blown off. The Phoenix were completely outclassed.

I think you're off — I think NCCU takes out Richmond
FWIW (prolly nothing in this case), FUBeAR finds it interesting that Richmond’s matchup against NCCU will be the Spiders’ 5th HBCU opponent this season.

Morgan State L 10-17
Delaware State W 38-6
Hampton L 14-31
NC A&T W 33-10
NCCU ?

Reckon has a non-HBCU ever played 5 HBCU’s in a single season???

Patterns (L-W-L-W-?) say Richmond falls in this Playoff game vs. an HBCU.

After Saturday's performance, I am not assuming anything, but damn the airfare to Missoula is pricey.
