Ashram posted on AGS so I will do the honors here.
Former Furman head football coaches Art Baker and Dick Sheridan will serve as honorary coaches during Furman's spring football game, slated for Apr. 17 at Sirrine Stadium in downtown Greenville, Paladin head coach Bobby Lamb announced today.
Baker is credited with laying the groundwork for the unparalleled success Furman football has enjoyed over the last four decades.
Sheridan, who succeeded Baker as head coach in 1978, is considered the architect of Furman's football championship tradition after leading the program to its first Southern Conference title in his first season. He would go on to guide Furman to six league championships and establish Paladin football as one of the nation's finest NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (I-AA) programs. In eight seasons the North Augusta, S.C., native posted a 69-23-2 record and coached Furman to three playoff appearances, including a national runner-up finish in 1985. In addition, Sheridan's Paladin teams reeled off consecutive victories over South Carolina (1982), Georgia Tech (1983), and North Carolina State (1984 & `85). He was named SoCon Coach of the Year three times and Kodak National Coach of the Year in 1985.
Great idea. Sirrine was Furman's stadium before the on campus facility was built. Good way to get Furman reconnected to the City of Greenville.

Not that you will, but don't go on AGS. Cman says you live in the hood
I'm not exactly sure how he'd know where I live, but if living a block off Prentiss/Augusta near McDaniel/Crescent is the hood, then OK.........
What he actually said is that Sirrine Stadium is in the hood. You know CMAN, I guess he hasn't seen those mansions around Cleveland Park Sirrine Stadium is certainly in an area that is one of the older more exclusive in town. But like all parts of downtown Greenville, the slums aren't far away.

True dat, homeslice.
I do live in kind of a weird area - mansions give way to subsidized housing within a short distance in some cases. I wish someone would help subsidize our house......

Maybe if you were a better neighbor and would pay for the old mans sewer line

We have some catching up to do - it's gotten even weirder since we last spoke.
