Chance for Furman to shock GSU?!

[FUGameBreaker]

Anybody see it happening?

[gsu2583]

Always a chance. This looks like a trap game to a lot of GSU fans I think. That being said, Purple is least manly of all the colors in the rainbow.

[walliver]

GSU hasn't been putting as many points on the board as they have in the past. If FU can get their offense back on track they have a chance at the upset, but I wouldn't put any of my money on it.

[eaglewraith]

Typically this would be a perfect trap game scenario.

However, this is Hate Week in Statesboro. It's Furman, we never overlook this game. There's a sign in the locker room with the team goals, and since Coach Monken got here, one of the things on that list is Beat Furman.

Should be a good game.

[woffordgrad94]

There's always a chance. Furman has the team to do it if they catch GSU on a bad day. But it's less likely than not.

[gsu_paintballer]

There's always a chance.

Won't be happening though.

[Apphole]

Go Furple. That would be awesome.

[blueballs]

As somebody mentioned earlier, this has all the earmarks of a trap game for GSU.

However, if you look at the last 5 quarters these two teams have faced each other going back to the 4th quarter in Greenville in 2010 and the meeting in Statesboro last year GSU has put up 71 points... let that sink in a moment.

IMO it is a bad matchup for Furman. Furman is thin (and has been the past two years) on the d-line and isn't that strong on the outside defensively. GSU just destroyed Furman on the outside in Statesboro last year with speed option and jet toss plays. Furman is strongest when Williams can run in the middle- GSU has been extremely tough against the run.

GSU should win this one as long as they don't have stupid turnovers and mental lapses which result in big plays. I think it will be closer than last year- along the lines of 27-31 to 10-17.

[biggie]

As an App fan, of course would like to see it, but just don't think it will. After the CCU and UTC games for FU it doesn't look good this season.

The only "if", is if GSU reverts back to fumbling 10 times or so.

[SpeedkingATL]

AGS, but don't even expect this one to be close for all the reasons Blueballs states. If Coastal could beat Furman (and CCU looked weak against App) I doubt they will hang with GaSo for over a quarter.

[JMad03]

I thought they had a chance until this thread was made. Now there's no chance. ;)

[cannonballgsu]

The big thing for Furman will be stopping Swope on the perimeter. If they put all their good guys outside, no way we are able to run with Swope...

[mountaineer in Cane Land]

Thought at the beginning of the year that Furman might breakout and make the playoffs, man was I wrong, last week the playoffs started for them, and Chatt destroyed them in the second half, don't give them much of chance against GS

If they listen to the Czar in the first post, he tells you everything you need to know about our specialist A Back, Mr. Swope. :D

[GATA_Eagles]

I don't think this is a game our guys will overlook. I'm sure every one of them knows the story of our first meeting with Furman. Then they probably know why we don't have two more flags on the pole and two 3peats - see 1988/2001

[GATA_OneMoreTime]

Maybe move him to B-back for the game, they'll never see it coming!xthumbsupx

[GSUsTALON]

After the Citadle debaucle and a close game with Wofford I am leary for the next few weeks untill we get to Howard. Yes I know that both Wofford and the Citadle run the option and they were defensive games but I take no one lightly this year. That said GSU wins this one by 3 TDs..................;)

[cannonballgsu]

Just a reminder...

[Reign of Terrier]

Furman has to play the exact same way they did against Wofford in the first half. The problem is one Brent Russell throws a ManBearPig-sized monkey wrench in executing such a game-plan.

[GATA_OneMoreTime]

They also need to hope GSU plays like they did against El Cid. Don't get me wrong, this game scares me as much as all of em, but I think our boys will be ready and focused. As long as we aren't looking ahead to Chatty and App I think we win by 2-3 scores.

[gsu2583]

I think I read somewhere that Chatty really opened up the playbook against the Furple and that it got all sorts of, well:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-O5IHVhWj0

I'm sure they will play us tough though.

This is what scares me. With the exception of last year, it seems like whichever team has nothing to lose in this series ends up winning. 2007, GSU wins the conference and secures a playoff spot with a win. Furman comes out victorious and knocks GSU out of the playoffs even though they don't make it in either. 2008, Furman needs a win to make the playoffs. GSU wins with Lee Chapple throwing for something like 300 yards. 2009, GSU needs the win to make the playoffs. Furman is already eliminated, but leads for most of the game and almost wins on a hail mary pass. Whoever is playing the underdog always seems to get a big boost in this game.

I don't think so.

Irrelevant since Debusk. Unless you consider irrelevant a school without a team, then your statement is wrong. Consistently in the playoffs from 99 through 2006. Top five ratings quite a few of those years. One NC appearance, and one semi-final appearance, And we aren't D2.

Of course, those without a team probably don't know.

Now we are certainly not the program we used to be. But that is not what you said. A national championship appearance 12 years after Debusk is not irrelevance nor is it a blip.

Bull****. None of the cowardly SoCon teams were willing to reciprocate with a return game to Charlotte (no doubt fearing the thrashing they would receive in such a hostile environment). So they were dropped so we cold add some home gate revenue games to help our new program.

Sure guy, but then there's this:

"-- The Georgia Southern and Furman series have been completely dropped, making it easier for Charlotte to schedule at least five FBS foes at home. Charlotte had games scheduled with Georgia Southern in 2014 (home) and '15 (away); with Furman in '14 (away) and '16 (home)."

My guess before the game was 28-13 with GSU taking over in the fourth quarter. Furman can play with anybody in the FCS for three quarters. They just simply cannot get enough offensive consistency to give the defense a rest.

Furman is young. They are taking their lumps. We'll get back where we are supposed to be soon enough.

The GSU holder was hurt on a previous play. A replacement bobbled the next hold, resulting in a missed extra point. After a couple of missed kicks, Monken didn't want to see any more goof ups. Running the ball straight ahead on a 2 point attempt is safer and gives Furman a chance to make a stop if they can. Monken just didn't want to end the game on another kicking snafu.

Ugh.

[apaladin]

The first XP was blocked. GSU had a 3rd down at the one with 20 seconds left. 98 percent of coaches would take a knee. Game over. GSU or rather Monken elected not to and scored. Not the right thing to do necessarily but ok, it's football. The 2 point conversion was classless. No way anyone can justify that. Fwiw, Furman could have scored again on WCU and PC, the only 2 games we won but chose to take a knee inside the the five in both games. In fact in the PC game FU took 2 knees to run out the clock as they shoudl have.

It's a rivalry game and we played like crap for a good portion of it. Coach wanted his players to finish strong, period.

Besides, we all know Furman teams have never ever ran up the score or padded stats if they had the opportunity, either. xrolleyesx

[OL FU]

I am not going to spend a lot of time on this because in the larger picture it doesn't matter.

I am always surprised how humans (including myself) will accept arguments to justify their view of the world and ignore the obvious to do it. Whether Monken had the things mentioned above in his mind or whether he made them up later is really irrelevant considering the perception of the act is going to be poor sportmanship. I, personally, have never witnessed a team go for two with 20 seconds left in the game and a three score lead. I would think most coaches would refrain from that under just about any circumstances. In fact, I think in the history of football most coaches have refrained from exactly that type of action. But as I said, it is not really that important. I am certainly going to fret less about whether Monken flunked sportmanship class than just how far the Furman program has been diminished. It has certainly been a long year.

Wanna' explain why Bobby Johnson ran Louis Ivory all game long in 2000 when it was 45-10?????

Fair enough. On another note, you guys screwed up getting rid of Bobby Lamb.

[Gringer1]

I think Monken was trying to send a message to the kicking team, not Furman. Special teams missed 2 kicks at this game and they've been a worrisome spot all year. I won't claim to know what goes on in the coach's head, but I think he was telling the field goal unit "you messed up and cost us points. I won't let you hurt the team, so if you can't do your job, I'll send somebody else out there to do it for you." I really believe that he was trying to motivate his players and was not worried about Furman at all.

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

What's with all the whining on the UFFP ? I can understand not being happy about GSU running the final play, but why complain about the 2PC? It's one freakin' point.

And all those comments about how they have never seen anything so disgraceful and classless like that in the SoCon? Were they not fans in 2000 when Ivory scored a long TD late in the 4th quarter when Furman had a 38-10 lead over GSU? Does no one remember Jerry Moore going for it on fourth down against Wofford when they have a 56-24 lead about half way through the fourth quarter?

[woffordgrad94]

2000 was 12 years ago, so there's a good possibility that a number of the younger ones were not fans then. Just sayin'

I don't think Furman really has any young fans.

[Reign of Terrier]

Having seen Wofford in a similar position as Furman, circa 2009, I can understand why their fans would seemingly dwell on the 2PC. the season is going poorly, and there's no need to rub their nose in it like GSU kind of did yesterday.

[GSU EAGLES]

And one final note. Since we will soon be going FBS, this may have been one of our last opportunities to embarass and rub Furmans nose in it. The 37 points at home was embarrasing and the 2 pt conversion was rubbing it in. Completely understandable and acceptble given the circumstances. I am sure there was a sense or urgency to get that last score to get all of this done.

See, I would have thought no one cared because most of the left at halftime... even after your president begged them to stay for the second half. Just sayin'

FTR... if it had been done to us, I'd have been upset too. But, it is what it is. Bot teams need to move on and look ahead.

I think he believes you are a Furman fan, which is silly given your name. Furman's president came on the video board at halftime and begged the fans not to leave because their team needed support. I would be more upset that my team's president has to ask fans not to leave during a rivalry game than that my rival tried to score an extra time.

That is concerning on a totally different level. Furman has changed its student mix. Place is too expensive and more and more students have no ties to the local area. It is really not good for the future of Furman footbal. But, I digress........

[bleedingblue]

You want to know why we went for 2.......... ya'll tried an onside kick. Had you have kicked it deep we would have ran out the clock. But you didn't. Your coach thought you still had a chance to win. Onside kick means game on.

Furman is too expensive and has an ivory tower complex? Say it ain't so! :P

[GSUEagles#1]

Get it over it people!!! This is contributing to the woosification of America!!!! This is the same mindset that causes the local little league teams to charge the coaches a fee if their team wins by more than 24.... because it will not be nice! GSU obviously didn't need the points, but its FOOTBALL!!! Classless is when the Wofford player roughs the GSU kicker at the end of the game last year when there wasn't a chance for them to win... THAT'S Classless... Coach Monken is one of the classiest, nicest coaches I have had the honor of watching!!

What a lot of people are saying is right... we are having kicker issues and the place holder was down for a while after a previous blocked XP. Coach probably didn't want to have a chance of a back-up place holder messing up again and also having the possibility of our kicker get hurt...

I have always hated Victory formation and taking a knee... I feel like that's almost a slap in the face of "Look at us, we beat you enough that we can just sit down and wait!"

I saw a "Black Alumni Tailgate" at the Furman game. I admit, I chuckled.

[Reign of Terrier]

BTW, as for the president begging the students to stay at halftime....I can honestly understand why. GSU/ASU/whoever has a different approach to the whole football thing than Wofford/Furman/whoever and it goes a lot deeper than just this school has this many students and that school has that many students.

I guess you could say that if you wanted to generalize, but I think I love and care about Wofford football just as much as anyone cares about their teams in Boone and Statesboro.

We ran B-Back dives and QB keepers.

Rubbing their nose in it would have involved us pulling out some trick plays or throwing another bomb. As for the 2pt conversion, our kicking game was awful yesterday. Running the conversion was the safer play for us, plus it regained the point we left on the field with the previous horrible PAT attempt.

take a knee if your kicking game sucks, it doesn't matter, if they score 3 touchdowns in 20 seconds, something I would wager as physically impossible given the structure and nature of the clock, you deserve to lose.

Just don't pretend that GSU wasn't rubbing Furman's nose in it.

compare Greenville and Spartanburg to Boone and Statesboro. the latter 2 are "college towns" whereas the former are not. In short, people who go to Wofford or Furman, as a general mindset are culturally different than those of GSU or App.

Pardon them for not obsessing over a football game. I know that sounds heretical on this board, but sheesh, there is more to life than football.

This is where SD is calling us (GSU/APP) low-class, but in the classiest way possible. I would tell you that you can take your Gouda and your Bordeaux and shove them straight up you a$$, but that might reinforce your stereotype. On the other hand, that might be the way private college frat people choose to do their "butt chugging." If that's the case, do you have to let the wine breathe before sending it down below?

[woffordgrad94]

Anecdotal evidence, my friend.

Well, probably so. I do consider myself pretty atypical of the stereotypical Wofford man. I was just trying to point out that there are some devoted Terrier supporters out there. We do exist. But yes, I wish there were more.

[woffordgrad94]

1. We have Wofford, USC-Upstate, Spartanburg Methodist College, Converse, Spartanburg Community College, and for good measure, the Sherman College of Straight Chiropractic. That qualifies Spartanburg as a college town to me, but that's neither here nor there.

2. I am fully aware that there's more to life than football. In addition to football, I also enjoy movies, TV, music, and those clubs with the lady dancers. Oh, and there's also that work thing- I spent 85 hours with that this past week.

3. But why even come to a game if you're gonna leave at halftime- with your team winning 7-3 to boot? What a waste! Must be those dumbass frat guys that can't wait to start drinking. They'd be better served to stay for the rest of the game and support their classmates.

[eaglewraith]

A college town is better defined by what impact the school has on the town. Would the town be what it was without the school being there? Statesboro would still be there, but no way would it be experiencing the kind of growth it is without the school being there and making the impact that it does. In a true college town, you see the touch of the school wherever you go.

Would Greenville be what it is without Furman? Would Spartanburg be what it is without Wofford and all those other schools?

[eaglewraith]

Just don't pretend that GSU wasn't rubbing Furman's nose in it.

Ok I'm tired of this high and mighty path.

Furman is guilty of it themselves in the past. In 2000 they won 45-10 and were running Luis Ivory at the end of the game when we hadn't been able to stop him all day. Their fans weren't worried too much about class on that day were they?

If it upset them enough, they can use it as motivation next year. Hell we hung 50 on them last year, typically that should be enough to get them fired up.

[The Eagle's Cliff]

I don't believe Coach Monken was thinking about these silly platitudes. He was coaching football to the last second. The last score didn't make a difference either way, but given the history of the rivalry and the disdain the SoCon has always had for GSU, I say FU All the Time to the Country Club Elite and their Saturday afternoon Wine & Cheese picnics.

[OL FU]

I find it interesting that three FU posters have posted in this thread after the game for a total of about four or five posts. One of those posters didn't mention the issue at all. One poster ranted pretty good and one poster stated an opinion but then basically said in the large scope, it wasn't a big deal.

I think some posters have been reading the uffp and just continue the conversation over here. As I said, it was somthing I have never seen before(and hope I never see again), but personally, am ready to get on with the rest of the season.

Absolutely agree. I've stayed away from uffp because I didn't want to get caught up in it. Personally, I think we'd be hearing just as much from some of our fans if the shoe was on the other foot. Be that as it may, we have a tough game with Chattanooga coming up, and though we can't affect the outcome, I think we ought to move on and focus on that at this point.

Interesting ..
I'm from the Upstate, come from generations of folks from the Upstate and though we have no ties to Furman, we do admire the school's traditions, etc. That said, seems like every third person we ran into in Greenville was from somewhere up north. And on campus Friday and again Saturday it seemed I saw more car tags from New York and Massachusetts than I did from South Carolina.

And, of course, the ever present Ohio tags. Sometimes I wonder if there's anyone left driving around up there. They all seem to be trying to get in front of me so they can make a right turn without a blinker and make me have to slam on the brakes.

I digress

At the end of the day, I was surprised Monken went for 2. But I seriously doubt he meant it as an insult. The guy is a competitor, but he's also always spoken respectfully of the rivalry with Furman and seems to me to respec tthe game of football.

My, what a long post. Adios.
