I can't believe that Georgia Southern missed that field goal!

But anyways, great job on the hard fought win.

I'm thinking OL FU must be on some pretty stout O2 therapy after this one!xnodx xlolx xlolx

[SuperEagle]

Horrible loss by my Eagles. Just terrible. Paulson Stadium used to be a place we never lost. A place that had mystic, a place that intimidated opponents. But's its not anymore. Mediocre teams are now beating us consistently there. 2 teams with .500 or worse records have beaten us in Statesboro this year and we have lost a whopping 7 games at "Our House" in the past 2 seasons. It's terrible. And this year we could have lost at least 2 more. I hope we can get that magic back, but right now there are very few games we play at home anymore that are sure wins.

I know its hard for you, but try not to be such an @$$hole. If we're mediocre then you guys don't even rise to the level of pitiful. Face it, we got after your asses in your house today and the only thing that kept you in the game was the most one sided officiating in the SOCON I've seen in 20 years. You lost to a better team. End of story.

[igo4uni]

Good game, FU!!

[ngineer]

Heck of win at the end of the year. It's good to see teams still fighting hard at the end in a season of disappointment...AND I picked you guys on the 'gohens' board!xthumbsupx

FU is not a mediocre team. They are not the best ever FU to ever suit up, but they hung in with just about eveyone in the conference.

[SuperEagle]

What should I call them then? What does one call a 4-5 team that just beat you to move to 5-5?
Websters defines mediocre as ordinary or average. Furman is now 5-5 overall and 3-3 in the conference. What is that considered? Exceptional?
Come on now.
Last year my Eagles went 3-8 but 5 of our losses were by 7pts or less with 2 being in OT. But despite the close losses, I would still say we were a terrible team. Who cares if those losses are close? It's all about your won/loss record. We were terrible and I'm not afraid to admit it. And this year's Furman team is indeed mediocre. And yes, you beat us so shame on us. We did lose at home to a mediocre football team that will probably keep us out of the playoffs.
If we upset CSU do you think the selection committee is going to look at losing home games to chatt and furman as a positive. Do you think they would consider those exceptional losses. Come on. Call it like it is.
Our team was good on the road upsetting 2 top 10 teams. But at home we just haven't been getting it done. 7 homes losses in 2 years. We have got to start playing better there.

Horrible loss by my Eagles. Mediocre teams are now beating us

Boy you guys like slapping your players right in the face don't you.xsmhx

[LarryBoy]

Furman has a mediocre record. But they proved today that they did NOT come into Statesboro as a mediocre team. They started the season as a horrid team; now they could hang with most any top 25 team in the FCS in my humble opinion. They've won 3 of 4 with wins over two Top 15 teams, and the one loss was a 7-point, last-second loss to ASU. So, again--mediocre record, good team.

I've been incredibly proud to see these guys turn it around, with seemingly nothing tangible to play for. The last two weeks have felt better than even some of our "successful stretches."

[Seven Would Be Nice]

I wouldn't call them a mediocre team. They man-handled us all night. We got lucky we had the opportunity to win the game at the end. To bad we couldn't pull it out.

[PaladinFan]

Seven is right, Furman whipped the Eagles up and down the field. A few gift calls made it closer than it looked.

I just lament that Furman hasn't been playing like this all year. Renaldo Gray stole the show, GSU didn't have an answer for him.

For those who've never seen it, here are the highlights to the game per the Eagle board. If you've never seen Jayson Foster take a hit in 3 years, fastforward to the 4:10 mark. http://www.bullochheadlinenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=601&Itemid=40

News Flash to GSU: Mediocre teams have been beating you for a while now.

[Eyes of Old Main]

Must have been a very hard fought game. Furman is playing much better lately and GSU has come together as the season has progressed. All that being said, congrats to my Paladin friends for their assistance the past two weeks.

[jhbeagle]

We got out coached, did not have answer for the FU TE that killed us all game. We got out played. It's just as simple as that. We had penalties after penalties. Furman had a great game plan and executed it very well. We had 3 timeouts and on about the 20 yeard line and we can't score. How many times can we run the same hand off up the middle in a game. Oh well. Maybe we can beat CSU next wek and sneek into the playoffs.

[OL FU]

I have had many proud moments in my 30 plus years of watching Furman. This one doesn't compare to NC wins or losses etc., conference championships and so forth. But considering this team had nothing to play for but pride, I don't think I have been more proud than the 3rd quarter when they stopped the Eagles and scored two touchdowns and said we are going to win this game.xthumbsupx

There is no doubt that having 9-2 seasons and going to play offs are more fun, but the last two games showed the team without the FU typical record has tremendous character and determination.xbowx xbowx

I thought the same thing. After all the crap that Lamb has caught this year I sat watching the game thinking, the coaches had this one figured out.xnodx

If your players feel the same way, then maybe that's why they lose some games there. In order to win consistently, you have to assume that the visiting team is coming there with the intention of beating you, rather than rolling over for the "Paulson Mystique."

Get used to it, because most of the SoCon is simply going to reload next year.

[PaladinFan]

The spirit of John Rust came back and aided Larry Hedden. Strange as it sounded, I thought the injury to RJ Webb was good for us. It forced us to quit looking downfield for the homerun all the time and start using our tight ends and running backs more (like we do when we win). Its more Gray's game.

If that's mediocre then I'll take mediocre every chance I get. We were the first FCS team all year to figure out how to contain JF. And try as they might, the Hatch attack couldn't get it done, even when the officials tried to hand it to them on a silver platter. Your boys had no answer for Grey or Hedden. Wow, this mediocre team came into your house and whipped you. Let's see, let me get my Webster's out and see if I can figure out what word best defines a team that lets that happen. Hmmmm.

You absolutely beat us and deserved the win, and the pass interference call was a bad one in just about everyone's opinion, certainly, mine, but if you think that was the most one-sided officiating you've seen in the SOCON in 20 years you must have been attending about one game a year.

Two of the worst calls (and by worst I mean most obviously wrong) I have seen in my football life have have taken place in the last two games between GSU and FU in Paulson.

This years pass interference and the GSU's touchdown ruled a fumball in 2005. Both were absolutely horrible misses. xnodx

Blatant holding by your OL on every single down, several times resulting in key gains for you.. They called you on it maybe a handful of times. Constant blocking in the back. They called you on it twice. Several very generous spots in third down situations. A reversal on a fumble by a guy who could not have seen it. The absolutely most ridiculous pass interference call that seemed more of a response to the receivers whining than to the actual play. that's pretty one sided.

I saw just as many missed calls on y'all. Mostly holding calls that prevented us from sacking Grey more than we did. You would hold, we couldn't get to him, and you would complete yet another big pass to your TE.xbangx xbangx

[Kill'em]

Both sides had calls missed. Don't forget we had a huge kickoff return called back for a block in the back. The flag came from over 50 yards away and the ball was spotted inside the 10! Give our guys credit for not giving up. I was very proud of them. Furman earned this win. Georgia Southern was NOT almost given the game.

SWBN is right. They refused to call the hold for the entire game. And we won, so who cares about the bad calls. I wouldn't even mention it if we had lost, because I hate when losing teams do that. But overall, and correct me if I'm wrong, because I know some of you old farts have been around a lot longer than me, but this year has seemed like the worst officiating overall across the conference that I have ever seen. And I'm not just talking about FU games, because I watch a lot of other SOCON games, and they were all rife with bad officiating. Not just incorrect calls either, but bizarre stuff. xconfusedx xbangx

Yes, but that pass interference call took us from a 9 point win to a near 1 point loss. Game was over and done if that was called like it should have been.

The block in the back on the kickoff was blatant. My guess is that the ref couldn't get his flag out, but he certainly saw the one that was obvious on TV.

This game tape needs to go to Sparkleburg to the Socon Offices. That was possibly the worst officiating ever!

[FCS_pwns_FBS]

A few comments on this thread...

Coach Hatcher said that Foster was hurt late in the first half, and that is why we threw the ball with him. He made some very nice passes that if caught, would have meant we would have won by 10. Of course, that's football. So are missed field goals by good kickers.

Furman has picked and chosen which games to be mediocre in this year. This wasn't one of them. Also, Paul Johnson lost to a so-so William and Mary team in 1997. Give the man a chance.

Any Furman fan that thinks that was the worst officiating they have ever seen obviously did not make the trip to Statesboro in 1999. And we won that game by making big plays, not by you screwing up.

[RazorEdge19]

I didn't hear or watch the game as I was in Chattanooga to watch Wofford play. I spoke to one of my friends following the end of the FU-GSU game and he said the officiating was very very poor. I am curious if it was the same crew Wofford had last week versus GSU.

It really wasn't so much the "poorness" of it that got Furman fans riled up. It was beating a team for four quarters of football and then having the Refs decide the game.

[GSUhooligan]

On the pass interference, the FU DB had to go through the receiver to make the play. He was a split second too early on the tackle and the ref threw the flag. Ticky tack, maybe. But horrible, not compared to many many other calls over the last few years.

He did not have to go through the receiver, he went straight up. The receiver actually jump back into him. Personally I could care less but your interpretation of the call, in this case, is wrong.

Additionally, my understanding of the rule is that both players clearly have a right to catch the ball. Since the defender jumped straight up and not toward the offensive player it was not pass interference. There are many maybe calls. This was not one of them

[OL FU]

I will try and explain what I posted before on the ref situation. I don't really have a problem discussing the rights and wrongs of calls. I don't even really have a problem discussing game changing calls. And I certainly don't think the refs should be let off the hook for calls. BUT..........

with the exception of very few games, the refs miss calls in every game. Generally, the missed calls go both ways. We tend to remember the ones that are "impact" calls, especially the ones that go against our team. Someone said not all missed calls are impact calls, that isn't the truth. There is absolutely no way to determine which missed call might impact the game. Which missed call gave a team the ball with a first and five versus a first an ten. or which penalty on first down led to a first down or not getting a first down later in the drive. But the truth is while certain calls are obviously impactful, that doesn't mean that the least obvious wasn't just as impactful since it may have changed the play calling of a team or eventually caused them to be a foot short of the goal-line or simply miss a first down that would have led to a TD.

The least obvious missed call could very well be the one that impacted the game the most. As I said, that doesn't mean that it should be discussed. But it really becomes little more than two different sets of fans sticking their collective tongues out at each other. xeyebrowx

Saying we would have beat you by ten or we would have won if, might be fun but it looks childish. Now with that said.......

sounds like you were watching a different game. The ball hit the furmanite in the helmet. No tackle was made (or attempted). IIRC, the GSU receiver didn't even turn around until the furman guy jumped in the air.

If anything, it was OFFENSIVE pass interference.

Regardless, the Football Gods righted the call.

You had 3 penalties called against your team the entire game and you are crying about the refs?

The pass interference call was probably the only legit call the refs made all game....well besides that low rent face mask penalty by that #51 thug. Only a blind homer would say that your guy didn't go right through the receiver to try and get the ball.

Your Oline was holding the entire game. More than generous spots on your behalf and the absolute worst call of the game...that blocking in the back penalty on our long kick off return that came from over 60 yards away. Wonder how every other official all who were much closer didn't see it. Please, its nothing more than the usual treatment given to the SoCon's little darlings.

Just be happy you escaped with a win that you didn't deserve and call it a day, or do you want to get into a discussion about the behavior of your low rent players after the game? xcoffeex

Personally, I would have loved to have won the game on the dubious interference call. It would have been retribution for the dubious interference call that cost us the 2004 game against you guys.:D

[PaladinFan]

Baldy, I dont think anyone can be a crybaby if they won. Second, we were penalized three times and GSU only 5. Heck GSU was penalized only five more yards with two more penalties.

I guess it was safe to say they weren't calling holding at all. I didn't really watch our linemen, but our defensive boys were getting dragged to the ground all night, especially when Foster would roll out. I guess they just said "let em play" and they did. It could have been called all night on both sides.

Actually, this was probably one of the best officiated GSU/Furman games in recent years...which isn't saying anything at all. I just find it rather funny that a Furman fan has the gall to whine about SoCon officiating, especially in a game they won. Probably the same type of person who would win a car, but whine about the color. xlolx

If there's one thing I can say after watching Wofford and GSU play, its that GSU's players (WRs/RBs included) hold illegally. Legal holding is involved when one gets their hands 'inside' the body of a defender. Illegal holding is when that is not the case. Now, whether or not the refs call it is another thing all together.

If you ask me, I think many of the referees throughout college football are negligent in their duties and should stop 'watching' games and start 'calling' games.

The one thing I do agree with, though. If you aren't going to call it against us, don't call it against them. At least they were consistent.

The pass interference call was probably the only legit call the refs made all game.... xcoffeex

The fumble you could question, the interference call was shocking. It was a great game to watch and probably Furman's best overall game this season! However, those ref's looked like they were really line cooks that decided to officiate a game on a whimxeyebrowx

[Kill'em]

Baldy, I dont think anyone can be a crybaby if they won. Second, we were penalized three times and GSU only 5. Heck GSU was penalized only five more yards with two more penalties.

I guess it was safe to say they weren't calling holding at all. I didn't really watch our linemen, but our defensive boys were getting dragged to the ground all night, especially when Foster would roll out. I guess they just said "let em play" and they did. It could have been called all night on both sides.

I think this is true.

There really wasn't a question about the fumble. The Furman player caught the ball established possession and had two feet down when it was dislodged by the hit from Benefield.

Since your team had more riding on that game than Furman, excuse me if I don't take your analysis as an unbiased opinion. xpeacex

[Baldy]

Seven is right, Furman whipped the Eagles up and down the field. A few gift calls made it closer than it looked.

I just lament that Furman hasn't been playing like this all year. Renaldo Gray stole the show, GSU didn't have an answer for him.

For those who've never seen it, here are the highlights to the game per the Eagle board. If you've never seen Jayson Foster take a hit in 3 years, fastforward to the 4:10 mark. http://www.bullochheadlinenews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=601&Itemid=40

...and look at the 1:15 mark to see the fumble that wasn't. The Furman player caught the ball established possession and had two feet down when the hit dislodges the ball. At the very least it should have been our ball inside the 10 yard line. xwhistlex

You had 3 penalties called against your team the entire game and you are crying about the refs?

The pass interference call was probably the only legit call the refs made all game....well besides that low rent face mask penalty by that #51 thug. Only a blind homer would say that your guy didn't go right through the receiver to try and get the ball.

Your Oline was holding the entire game. More than generous spots on your behalf and the absolute worst call of the game...that blocking in the back penalty on our long kick off return that came from over 60 yards away. Wonder how every other official all who were much closer didn't see it. Please, its nothing more than the usual treatment given to the SoCon's little darlings.

Just be happy you escaped with a win that you didn't deserve and call it a day, or do you want to get into a discussion about the behavior of your low rent players after the game? xcoffeex

The ruling, as I understand it, is that you have to make a "football move" after establishing possession. That is, you have to turn up field, or juke, spin, whatever. Lafrance caught it and then was hit immediately, yes he catches the ball, no he doesn't establish possession.

[BALD EAGLE]

As a diehard Ga. Southern fan who has attended close to ten games a year since 1985 it really pains me to say this but I think the Paladins outplayed the Eagles for most of the game and deserved to win.

I also think the Eagles would have deserved to win if Hartley had made the field goal because of the outstanding comeback they made in the fourth quarter. If Ga. Southern had won, in my opinion, it would not have been because of the officiating.

I certainly think Furman had several legitimate complaints especially when the Eagles scored their second touchdown because after watching a tape of that several times I definitely think a Ga. Southern player was holding one of the Paladins.

It has been a long time since I have read what constitutes pass interference, but based on my understanding of what pass interference is the pass interference call looked like was a good call to me. Again, I have watched that play a number of times, and each time the defender certainly looked like he hit the receiver before the ball got to receiver.

For those who say that was not pass interference that both the receiver and defender were going for the ball please tell me what would keep a defensive back from "going" for the ball every time but actually planning to run into the receiver before the ball got to receiver. I know if I were a defensive back I would keep my eyes on the ball and make it look like I was trying to catch it when in fact what I would really be trying to do would be to position myself so that I could hit the receiver before the ball got to him. This is just my opinion and I may well be wrong. But I do not think so.

I would appreciate any comments concerning this.

I am not objective when it comes to my "beloved" Eagles, and I do not pretend to be. I have one other comment about officiating and would appreciate any feedback on it. The Ga. Southern games against Chattanooga and Elon this year were the worst officiated games I can ever recall watching, and after what these kids had to endure last year playing for the worst coach and biggest jerk in the history of football they deserved a lot better than the injustices done to them by “so called” officials in those two games. Except for those officials and the way they called those games the Eagles would have won both of those games and would already have a conference championship and a play-off bid. Now there is a question about them making the play-offs just because of officials who were either too incompetent or who let their biases influence their decisions.

As I have already stated I am not objective when it comes to my Eagles, but there is one area in football where I am trying to become totally objective. That is the officiating. To have a bunch of old men take away a victory from players who deserved to win the game and would have except for that bunch of old men is beyond unconscionable. Those of us who are fans of teams in the SOCON should write, email or call the SOCON Office in charge of officiating then the Commissioner’s Office and tell them that the officiating this year has been unacceptable and must be improved.

First good postxthumbsupx


I should let someone who is more familiar with the rules take a run at that however when the ball is passed both offensive and defensive players have equal rights to the ball. The most typical d pass interference is where a dback is beat and just hits the receiver prior to the ball reaching the receiver. Since both players have an equal right to the ball I think position with regards to the pass becomes important. If the o player is in front of a pass thrown waist high (with the d player behind the o player_ and the d player while going for the ball creams the o player, then it is pass interference regardless of whether he is going for the ball. The same thing exist if the d player has the better position and the o player creams him. In the case the ball was thrown over the head of the o player and the d player jumped straight up ( not into the d player ) and the ball actually hit the d player'ss helmet. The o player actually jumped backwards for the ball clearly showing the position favored the d player. If anything the o player jumped backwards into the d player. xtwocentsx

As I have said before the refs and their mistakes are part of the game, some time they help you some time they hurt you. but in the end you win or lose with them or in spite of themxnodx That doesn't mean we should tolerate their mistakes, but yaking about the refs causing the score to be this or that is especially when it was a hard fought game, does little more than take away from the accomplishments of both teams players

He turned upfield after he caught the ball, Benefields helmet causing the fumble makes that perfectly clear. Sorry, but that is a "football move".

The "football move" is an NFL term. The NCAA rule book, Rule 2-2, Section 7, page 41 states:
"A catch is an act of a firmly establishing player posession of a live ball in flight.
c. To catch, intercept or recover a ball, a player who leaves his feet to make a catch, interception or recovery, must have the ball firmlyin his posession when he first returns to the groundinbounds with any part of his body or is so held that the dead-ball provisions of rule 4-1-3-p apply.
1. If one foot lands inbounds and the receiver has posession and control of the ball, it is a catch or interception even though a subsequent step or fall takes the receiver out of bounds.

There really wasn't a question about the fumble. The Furman player caught the ball established possession and had two feet down when it was dislodged by the hit from Benefield.

Since your team had more riding on that game than Furman, excuse me if I don't take your analysis as an unbiased opinion. xpeacex

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

We did have something riding on that game, I certainly can not argue that. I also hope GSU makes the playoffs, mainly because you are a SoCon team and can beat anyone on any given Saturday.(App and Wofford)

Having said that, I have talked to all my SoCon buddies since our Socon win/AQ and nobody agreed with that call. HECK, I thought Sam Wyche was going to slam his headset and do down and choke that ref. He is certainly unbiased and had no dogg in that fight.xsmhx

[PaladinFan]

The way the announcers, and I have always have heard it explained. Is that you look at the eyes of both players. When two players get tangled up and dragged down, for instance, it isn't interference if it happens while both are looking for the football, even though one player initiates contact.

In this case, Thacker's eyes were up. He wasn't trying to "interfere" with the pass, but mere to catch it. It is somewhat of a misnomer that it is only the receiver has a right to the ball. The defensive man has the same right to the ball. So, like a few have said, if anything, Andrews was interfering with Thacker's ability to make the catch, not the other way around.

Granted, if this was a call that happened in the first quarter (like the holding call on your second touchdown), it probably wouldn't have been a big deal. The refs, though, had let the players "play" all night long (no holding calls, few penalties on either side) so why, my question is, start all the sudden calling penalties on the most crucial play of the game?

If you wanna smack about education on a football message board, you might want to clean up around your own doorstep before crossing my threshold. :D

Do you think I have time to spell check on a message board or worry about a typoxrolleyesx

I am not smacking about education. I am speaking about your school's obvious lack of concern for your players. Thanks for playing football, now go back to your job picking peanuts:D

Keep your diploma close to you. You might need to wipe your fanny with it.xeekx


Yep and you are still an ass

[OL FU]

OK baldy, I took one last swipe at you. I will let you post and have the last word. Besides, I am tired of typing things I don't really believe about GSU.

After you post, we can continue on as normalxnodx I can be clueless and you can be an assxthumbsupx :D

Best of luck saturday. Hope you enjoy your trip to Coloradoxnodx

GREAT WIN! I'D MUCH RATHER SEE YA'LL WIN THAN THOSE BOYS FROM STATESBORO!

Hate to show you your cluelessness (yeah I know its not a word) again, but....
FYI, the NCAA didn't make us do anything.

And I couldn't care less how classless and rednecked your fans are or how thuggish your team is either, but don't get your purple panties in a wad when someone points you out on it. xbawlingx


Actually, the correct idiomatic expression is "I could care less."

Now, by any standards of logic, or by the algebraic grammatical rules that removed double negatives from our language, "I could care less" doesn't make much sense (it obviously means the opposite of what it says). Hence the desire to replace it with, "I couldn't care less."

However, idiomatically (and historically) the correct form is "I could care less."

Thanks for reading. xreadx

Not to make things too high brow, but you can spend hours clicking through this site.

Granted, not great for football talk, but it definitely can win you a feisty argument over grammar http://wsu.edu/~brians/errors/errors.html

OK.....we got drilled last Saturday (wasn't a big surprise) but, there is nothing wrong with saying I like the guys in Greenville better than the G'nats!

The clouds have parted in Cullowhee and brighter days are ahead! The Cats have some talent but, have been suffering from poor leadership. Watch out if they actuallt get a good HC.

You have my permission to wait until next year to get betterxthumbsupx

[WCU_FL_Alum]

Ohh....I am sure it will be a while but, at least we finally have reason to be optimistic. Anything is better than what we have been suffering through since they fired coach Bleil for the actions of his players which were totally out of his control.

Hope your boys take it easy on us this weekend in Cullowhee. Tough game for them.....long tough season and lame duck coaching staff.

Tell your boys to open up the passing game and keep it interesting.

[WCU_FL_Alum]

I agree...Adam Herns needs to start at QB and go for broke. Nothing to lose.
