Day 33 - Game # 3 Furman vs. Citadel



Game #3 was a BIG win for the Paladins. This is the one game that I personally wanted Furman to win. At the risk of alienating future Citadel fan readers, I have to confess that this is the game that we had to win. Last year, the Citadel, in Charleston, SC, hosted our young men to play on their field. Unknown to me, this rivalry dates back generations. In all of my years of watching college football, I have NEVER witnessed a nastier fan base than the Citadel cadets and their fans. I must also admit that more than a little part of me wanted to be just as nasty! Thankfully, my normal classy demeanor took over and I behaved myself. We won, they lost, badly, end of story! It just goes to show you that football, particularly college football, where rivalries are steeped into traditions, can bring out the worst in all of us.
