Scouting Report: Furman University Paladins

U.
Founded: 1972 by Fur Man, the lamest Marvel superhero of all-time. Fur Man had the ability to grow fur from head to toe and twice as fast as a normal man. He was killed by fire ants during a picnic because he was THAT lame.

Location: Greenville, South Carolina. This is the second week in a row Florida has to play a school from South Carolina. Thankfully, Furman's coming to Gainesville. I can't blame Florida for losing last week. Being in that state really destroys your psyche. I'm sure football was the last thing on their minds and all they could think about was fleeing the bowels of despair.

Enrollment: Scott Turner.


Famous Alum: Herman Lay, the man who has helped America get fat by founding the Lay's Corporation, which later became, as we all affectionately know and love today, the Frito-Lay corporation.

Head Coach: Bruce Fowler. 1st season overall (6-4).

Conference: Southern or as they say on the streets, SoCon.

Season Record: 6-4.

Strengths: Enthusiastic, a strong desire to work. They work equally well individually as well as in a group environment. Easy to get along with. Very good sense of humor to lighten the mood around the office and raise morale during stressful times. Very strong computer skills. They're fast learners and are easy to teach. They enjoy a challenge and are very aggressive when provided with one.

Weaknesses: They consider themselves as perfectionists as they spend too much time on certain tasks until they feel the work has met their high standards. Below average organizational skills. Weak public speaking skills.

Player To Watch: Quarterback Chris Forcier, who transferred from UCLA and is the brother of Tate Forcier, so there's a good chance he could transfer before Saturday.

Fun Fact: A paladin is a colorful South American bird that sucks at football.

  1. That colorful South American bird crapped all over the Gators in the first quarter today 22-7. This season can't end quickly enough. Can we just FedEx a capitulation letter to Tallahasee next week and aviod next weeks carnage?

  2. In a surprising development, Jimbo Fischer won the "rock paper scissors" contest with Muschamp giving him their co-owned beach house over Thanksgiving weekend. "This is soooo great!" Fischer said, "I NEVER get the house over Thanksgiving!"

    Former Coach Bobby Bowden will therefore man the Seminole sideline this weekend - giving him the opportunity to "Stick it to those gad-dumned Gators!"

    Not to be outdone - Muschamp will turn over the reigns to former Gator Coach Galen Hall, who has had "nothing to do at all - period -" with the Sandusky scandal at Penn State.
