Let’s hope this time it’s the best of times and the last game was the worst of times. A Tale of Two Arenas. FU came out and played like a well oiled machine against UTC. When they have done that in the past, they follow it up with a loss to Mercer (that was quite funny, until we lost to Mercer) or the likes. We, on the other hand, put together 4 great games before we have a let down. All teams have a let down. It is only natural. We are where we are because our team has been able to play at a high standard for longer duration than FU has. Do I think we are materially more talented than the rest of the league? No. I like us to bounce back and FU to not play as well as they did against UTC. They seem to get up for us, however. They are like our little brother trying to prove to themselves that they can be like us. As for UTC, they may have lost their PG to an ankle injury. Bad time to do it. We’ll see if he’s back, but if not that’s a huge blow to UTC’s chances. And, finally, speaking of teams I don’t want to play in the conference tournament, I’d much prefer to avoid Mercer, Furman, and Wofford in the first two games. I’m happy to play anyone in the championship game, but those three teams scare me in the a quarter and semi finals. Those would be games that I just want to win by any margin—ugly or pretty, just out score those SOBs. PS: Did anyone notice that Samford did not take any cheap shots against Mercer, even though Mercer was dishing them out early and often? And, unlike a frustrated WCU, we took our loss without resorting to thuggery, which might explain why we are two games up on the rest of the field. I dislike Furman greatly, however, this post turned me into a one game furman fan. I think Cujo has turned into a Samford mini foobear... You know, the most insulting thing you could ever say to me was to compare me to FU Bear. That’s just down right low. Do I post like: Cujo think me team win. Cujo is getting angry. Cujo likes statistics. You see, Cujo has calculate the odds of Samford beating Furman X-Y•3.14159(66•9/432)=samford78 FU72

I'm just here to remind Cujo of what he said last time before the Furman game. Furman just won a big on at home against WCU on a last second (inadvisable three when they only needed a two). Talk about ripe for a letdown. Feeling like they got heir mojo back, a big emotional win. It isn't easy to sustain 100%. How'd that work out? Also, I ask this board to please remind me of the SoCon tournament championships Samford has won in basketball? How about Bucky's record against Richey? Or how many 20 win seasons? Players drafted? If Furman is trying to be like Samford then this is the year we are actually doing our best portrayal. Samford is by far having their best year in the SoCon and may go on to experience even more success. But remember, its usually the little brother that feels the need to exaggerate their success to feel relevant. It's big brother's job to keep them in their place.

Bob Richey is a decent junior high church basketball coach.
Hear me now and understand me later. What I meant by that quote was that Samford would be 12-2 the next time we faced Furman and Furman would be waaaaaay back at 9-5. Geez, do I have to explain everything to you!

Furman is our little backslidden Baptist brother. Their team and fans remind me of a boys junior high Sunday school class, but with alcohol. I can see Heim practicing his Soldier Boy dance in the mirror preparing for the spring dance when he’s going to show out for the adolescent girls. He gets his braces off next month!

Must be tiring having to play so many mental gymnastics to keep lying to yourself. Also way to go putting down a 22-23 year old kid... But its Furman fans that are the obnoxious ones right? Maybe someone else needs to add "delusional" to their forum name.

lol. The “kid” you reference plays D1 men’s basketball, screams, flexes and mugs for the camera and does everything he can to draw attention to himself. Save the Furman victimology for your FU circles. Homie ain’t buying it over here, drama queen.

I don't view myself as that old, but yea I view a college senior as a kid. You may not, but I guess that speaks to a discrepancy in maturity. But you may be right Cujo, Hein is likely more a man than I've given him credit for considering you'd be too afraid to say any of this to him in person. Should probably stick to a discussion about the game.. its almost not fair otherwise
