This Furman fan posted the great write-up of the game from your fan forum to our fan forum. It was outstanding. Please know that most Furman fans appreciate what you guys have at Loyola-Chicago. We were pulling for the Ramblers during your run in the NCCA Tournament. It was beautiful to watch your team play. This Furman fan hopes you do the same this year, but after we beat you tomorrow night! Seriously, it should be a great game. This Furman team has the potential to be even better this year. We beat a good Gardner-Webb team at their place on Tuesday night. Good luck to the Ramblers.
For the record, we are not a bunch of cigarette smoking, Trump loving red-neck racists. Yes, we have our history, as do many of our Founding Fathers. Furman has owned up to the past. For proof, I offer you the following for your reading pleasure.

Named the Purple Hurricanes in the 1920s, the Furman football team as well as all Furman's sports teams were renamed "Paladins" or "Purple Paladins" in 1961. Paladins refers to the knights of Charlemagne's Court who were men of courage and daring, persons of "outstanding worth or quality who are firm in support of some cause or objective."
