Furman which beat us on our home court does the same thing tonight to Vandy (SEC Conf.). Toledo plays at Vandy on Sat..

People on this board will see that the loss to Furman was not that bad at all...they downed Vandy last night 70-62 at Vandy.

Wow...I just read somewhere that Furman beat Vandy...is this true?

Exactly, our loss to Furman was very respectable and we had a chance to win the game down the stretch.

I know that it's early, I really feel like the game this past Saturday against South Alabama, is exactly what this team needs... HELLO!! South Alabama...an NCAA Tournament team from last year....Four Starters averaging double figures. It's a great confidence builder for our team.

I honestly think that those of you that believe we will struggle to win 10 games this year are out of your mind. In fact, I think this team is continuing to grow as a unit and will be much improved for MAC play. I even saw some minor improvements out of Dusan in the USA game.

Also, once we get Nate Miller suited up, this becomes a very deep team, that plays good defense and works hard on both ends of the floor.

Ok, there's my rant. I can't help it. What I see on the court this year, is much different than what I saw last year.

Is this the new Furman fan board? There seems to be as many threads here about how great Furman is as there is about the Bowling Green team. Can we end the Furman lovefest already?

Yeah, the Furman stuff has gotten a little out of control. We get it. Decent team, maybe a good team. They weren't Duke, either. OK?

I think I just have an obsession with saying the name "Furman".

It's called Paladin Pride, some of us have it, others of you don't.

Not to be the SEC police, but saying Vandy is in the SEC Conference (SouthEastern Conference Conference) is just like saying BG is in the MAC Conference. A little redundant saying conference twice, that is all.

Furman just seems to be a warm cuddly word. Makes me think of a box, too.

I once worked with a woman named Firman...I really didn't like her too much

The media never gives Furman any respect.

Hey Orangebrown... you may think the "Furman" talk has gotten out of control...but what has gotten out of control is the talk that our schedule isn't any good. Furman and South Alabama are as good as any top 2 MAC schools and both will be in NIT or NCAA. By the way why did Florida play West Carolina in football this year again? Why do people give us crap about playing Florida International or a 1AA school once in awhile when a top 5 team does it? Just curious why no one got on them.

Playing the 1-AA team is one reason Florida will not be going to the National Championship.
