Cool thanks for the vote of confidence, I am just hoping that by the time we come up to Boone for Black Saturday there is something big on the line like old time sake!

In the FCS Huddle: Sports Network Week 1 Preview
Furman Paladins (0-0) at Samford Bulldogs (0-0), 4:30 p.m. (Charter/CSN Sport Southeast)
Series record: Furman leads, 8-6
Last meeting: Samford 26, Furman 21 (Oct. 8. 2011)
What to know: Last year, Samford snapped a seven-game series losing streak to capture its first victory over Furman since 1969. The Bulldogs finished in the middle of the conference with a record of 4-4. Running back Fabian Truss and fellow junior wide receiver Kelsey Pope played exceptionally as sophomores last year.
First and foremost, both teams will have to replace experienced quarterbacks that had a large part in their success. Samford lost Dustin Taliaferro (2,301 yards, 14 TD) while Furman lost Chris Forcier (2,265 yards, 23 TD). Both losses hurt equally because each team is trying to progress with a steady signal- caller.
The Paladins have only kicked off the season versus a Southern Conference foe once since 1975. In coach Bruce Fowler's first season, Furman won games against Wofford, Appalachian State and Chattanooga, but lost critical home games versus Samford and Elon. The Bulldogs added Memphis transfer Andy Summerlin, who was 45-of-94 for 469 yards in five games for the Tigers, including two starts.
It's a high-risk, high-reward scenario in Week 1 and that's what SoCon football is all about.
Prediction: Furman 26, Samford 21

Church pep rally? Wow! That looks pretty intense!!!

It'll be close. Furman wins by a field goal or less.
Dear lord... please allow this dangerous combination of hair spary, bat slobber, and D.O.T. four automatic transmission fluid to excite my mind, occupy my spirits, and enrage my body, provoking me to kick any man or woman in the back of the head regardless of what he or she has or has not done unto me. All my Best, Earlie Cuyler.
