Welcome!! :) :) :)

[Umass74]

Welcome to the club PC! With 1,200 students you'll give Wofford a run for the smallest school in I-AA...

[PCbluehose]

I think we are hoping to be in the ballpark of 1400-1500 by 2010, but still will be one of the smallest.

[PCbluehose]

Do you guys think it was smart for us to join the Big South or ventured into the SoCon? Looking at our history, most of the teams that have left the SAC have ended up in the SoCon. But we seem more competitive with the Big South(beating Charleston Southern 42-0 last year).

[Go...gate]

Welcome! :)

Our AD has promised us that PC would not be invited to join the SoCon so Big South was a good idea.

[TexasTerror]

Thanks for coming on our board! Glad to see someone from PC aboard and hopefully more Blue Hose fans will come this way as you guys make the move up to I-AA! :)

You better get those SAT scores up then if you want to keep those bragging rights.

For those who don't know Wofford & PC will be the only D-I schools with higher average SATs than the enrollment at their schools.

[blukeys]

Welcome all you hosers!!!

[Purple Knight]

Just a good ole GSU corn-cob welcome to I-AA, I guess.

[Sly Fox]

It seems like this move has taken forever. I'm glad the wheels are finally in motion.

[catamount man]

Does this mean the end to the Newberry-PC "battle for the bronze derby"? Somehow, someway this game should continue. Welcome to I-AA PC! Alma mater of Western Carolina's greatest football coach, Bob Waters.

GO CATAMOUNTS!!!

As most D1-AA teams play a D2 team as a warm-up game, i am sure the Newberry/PC game will be a yearly game for us after this year. I can not see them taking this off the schedule.

[Bear Fan 101]

Welcome Blue Hosers! Glad to see you join the UCA Bears int he move up to 1-AA! You guys were class acts all the way around this year in the D2 playoffs, and if that is a good indication on how the rest of your programs work, you guys will be fine!

PC is also the alma mater of one of the best Sports Information Directors in I-AA, Furman's own Hunter Reid.

The only team I can think of that fits that description is Elon.

As far as the SoCon, my understanding was the big state schools didn't want another small private, and Clinton is just too close to Wofford and Furman (? 4 teams in one TV market).

[OL FU]

Welcome aboard PC:hurray: :hurray:

[MYTAPPY]

Aloha Presby!! :hurray:

[dbackjon]

Welcome PC!

[MarkCCU]

Welcome to the Big South!

[bosshogg]

Look forward to playing against you guys....hat ride from orangeburg to clinton would be on "L" of a road trip!

[Purple Knight]

I believe that PC is also the origin of 'The Jacobs Blocking Trophy'.

[PCbluehose]

We are the orginals are in the trophy case.

[blukeys]

Just out of curiosity, With PC how many I-AA teams will there be in South Carolina???

Looks as if VA. might get some competition.

[*****]

The Scroll on ESPN said we won 42-7.The reality is Furman won, 52-7.

The SoCon would have been too big a step. The Big South would be a better fit, for now.

Welcome to Division I.

[walliver]

Just out of curiosity, With PC how many I-AA teams will there be in South Carolina???

South Carolina will have:
2 i-a's : South Carolina and Clemson
7 I-AA'a : Wofford, Furman, Citadel, Coastal, Charleston Southern, SC State and PC (in 2007)
and 3 I-AAA's : Winthrop, Charleston, USC-Upstate (in 2007)

Newberry and North Greenville will still be in D-II football, the status of Allen football and Benedict football (2 HBCU's in Columbia) isn't clear to me, I think one of them dropped football. And there are a lot of non-football playing D-II schools.

Basically, in South Carolina, if you play football, you play at as high a level as possible. Now if we can just get Clemson and Carolina to move up:smiley_wi

[BEAR]

Welcome PC! If you guys need an easy D2 win from the Arkansas teams, try Arkansas Tech:asswhip: .....OK OK:deadhorse

Well. Anyway, try to schedule another game versus UCA in the near future. I am sure you will want some revenge! :hurray: Oh yeah, bring the giant Scotsman to Conway..

[Coastal89]

Allen is still NAIA indy and Benedict dropped football last year.

[TheValleyRaider]

A hearty welcome to the Scotsmen!

You might be interested to know that we come out to the speech from Braveheart. I still get chills everytime i hear it.

[catamount man]

Allen is still NAIA indy and Benedict dropped football last year.

Allen dropped football back in January, not Benedict, who is Division II.

GO CATAMOUNTS!!! (and PC-I give to the Scotsman Club as well):D

[The Gadfly]

If only we could of been blanketed by so much love when we started :(

That's the difference between having Mel Gibson as a mascot instead of fancified chicken:D

[Thumper250]

How many Allen players transferred to Coastal? ;)

[rokamortis]

How many Allen players transferred to Coastal? ;)

Not sure - I don't think many, if any. How many people from FCI Bennettsville did Gardner-Webb get?

[Jaques]

If only we could of been blanketed by so much love when we started :(

No kidding. Enjoy the love now PC, because from here on out, win or lose, it's nothin but heartache and grief.;)

my last name is Wallace and directly descended from Scotland... does that make me a PC fan?

I'm not very religious though

school coach. 54 years at Summerville HS. And still

If that's Tommy Spangler, I believe he's a former coach at Georgia Southern.
