Who IS this Furman?

I'm sorry, if you have children, it's funny.

Apparently, we are 5-0 against Furman.  They appear to be a standard bounce-back team.  Of course, we now have Motley in at QB, so there's an excellent chance we're going to lose.

Just sayin'.

Furman is located in Greenville, South Carolina.  There doesn't seem to be anything notable about their location; they are 4 hours away from Myrtle Beach.  Does anyone remember the Freaky Tiki?

Their color is purple, which is a little girlie for football, but I won't knock it.  It's their mascot that's interesting.  It's called a Paladin.  According to Al Gore and Wikipedia:

"The paladins, sometimes known as the Twelve Peers, were the foremost warriors of Charlemagne's court"

So, basically they are knights.  Snooty knights.

This is the Charlemagne of which they speak:

Not this one.

Apparently, the former Charlemagne, or Charles the Great, was a great military strategist.  Don't ask for anything else, I wasn't a History major. 

The Snooty Knights just lost to Coastal Carolina last week, 35 to 38.  Do you think we can score that many points?  Umm... no.

Once again, this is a game that will be won or lost on our defense.  Let's just go ahead and forget we have an offense this week.  I think that will be best for our general mental well-being.

That being said, Motley gives us an additional 2" on the field, measuring in at 6'3".  He's also 26 pounds heavier.  No nicknames yet for Townie, but we'll see.  For all you NOVA-ers, this Townie beat Briar Woods in 2011 for the State Championship.

Our other options for QB are r-freshman, Durkin, and true freshman, Lawson.  FYI, Durkin is 6'4" and Lawson is a whopping 6'6".  You know, this all matters because height alone makes you a QB.

Duh.

I'm not sure what else to say about this one.  Watching on WWLS3 is always such a joy.  Who knows what the heck is going to happen?  I'd say that the Snooty Knights are a good first opponent for Townie, but they may crush us.  We've turned into Duke.  Oh wait, Duke is good.  Wake Forest?  Worse?

Just buckle in tight and break out your binoculars for tomorrow.  Good thing the 3:30 kick-off provides ample pre-game time.  Can I recommend some beef dip?

Love the unknown,
