Good luck this weekend. I am glad to see the rise of the Catamounts as you guys have been through so many dark days. I hope there are no injuries and also, I hope the game is called FAIRLY. Seems to me the SoCon has gone overboard to help Furman after last year's egregious call during their Samford Game. I know it sounds like sour grapes and bad sportsmanship, but our game vs Furman last Saturday was shamefully officiated on our own field. I have seen literally hundreds of games there, but never felt like this about the officiating. To miss a call or two is understandable and even expected, however, IMO the officiating was slanted the entire game. I won't bore y'all with the many specific examples, but I will just repeat the word that appropriately fits - SHAMEFUL!
GO CATAMOUNTS!

I watched the game and I saw the shameful officiating that you speak of. I counted 3 face masks that were “missed” by the officials that should have been called against Furman. There were also phantom pass interference calls against Samford that were called. That’s just to name a few of the blatant shameful calls. We will not get the calls and I expect that we will experience the same shameful behavior by the so called SoCon officiating group. I have said for years and I think I can speak for this entire board in saying that the SoCon officials are the worst in the NCAA and they do play favorites and Western is at the bottom of the list for getting a fair shake. I have watched for over 40 years and know what I speak of because it happens over and over again. I bet to a person, nobody on this forum will take issue with your post because if you have watched Western football for more than a couple of years, you have witnessed the egregious lack of fairness and total shamelessness of the SoCon officiating crews. I am so sorry that Samford had to endure that in such an important game. You guys would have beat Furman if it were not for the crooked SoCon officials. |

My prediction for the next three games for the Paladins: They lose big to WCU, then go home the next week and beat ETSU, then travel to Chattanooga the following week, and the Mocs finish them off, along with their at-large bid chances. Next 3 games for the Paladins, FU goes 1-2 over that stretch, take it to the bank. I could not agree more 72. Just look at film. The X factor is how shameless and crooked the SoCon refs will be in calling the game for Furman. |

I said it on this board during that game, the fix was on, the officials were not going to let Furman lose that game. It's happened to us, on our field during the Speir years as well. Thanks for the support. It's not sour grapes or bad sportsmanship when you speak the truth about how a game is officiated... |

Any bets on how many times Furman players use the fake injury tactic like they've done before to slow down our offense? I'd say at least 10 times during the entire game. They've become experts in the tactic, hopefully, the coaches will have a discussion with the officials during the pregame about this, and it can result in a flag. They shouldn't need to talk to the refs about it. It's been an issue with FU for at least four years now. |

Of all the teams in the SoCon, I support Samford against all of them. Catamount County was hoping that your team could beat Furman last week. Hopefully, I hope we can put some numbers on Furman. Thanks again for supporting the Catamounts this weekend. |
