Furman University

And then I found out he wasn't actually on it.

Northern Iowa at Furman.

The men of fur are laying four and a half in Greenville, South Carolina.

Total 151 and a half.

Not a ton of conviction behind it.

I could be persuaded.

Uh, I could be swayed in the, uh, direction of Furman, but, uh, honestly, I, I don't know where or what to value or how to think of you and I so far this season without Jacobson.

So it's still getting a feel on the Panthers cap.

Hold on.

They lost to Furman.

They lost to Furman, so...

You're barely beating a team who couldn't beat Furman.

I don't know.

Penn State beat

This is

awesome podcasting.

But I know the schedule, especially for the Panthers, gets pretty tough here.

They're going to Furman this weekend, right? Kyle Green put together a heck of a schedule for his first year up in Cedar Falls.

Well, Kyle Green will tell you that Ben Jason left him that schedule.

It's true.

Furman's return game, NCAA tournament team last year, And then they've got Green Bay at home next Tuesday game, I'll call.

Green Bay under Doug Gottlieb, third year for Coach Gottlieb.

I had him in the Paradise Jam last year.

I'm Jim Guth.

I'm professor of politics and international affairs here at Furman University.

My name is Ellison White.

I'm a junior here at Furman and I am a Tocqueville fellow as well as a politics major here at Furman.

He's the guy on 2K8 College March Madness when you don't hit your minimum roster that they just throw on there because you've got an extra scholarship.

That's Alex Wilkins at Furman last

year.

That was his 247 recruiting ranking, but he goes to Furman and he leads the team to a conference championship and he was the tournament MVP for his conference, and then goes to the actual tournament and drops 22-4 efficiently on UConn, and he's like, wow, look at this great offensive talent, but he needs to be better defensively.

Like you said, WT, immediately how good defensively is he? He's just, he gets doubted.

He's not a good enough of a recruit.

I don't know if Cooper Bowser has.

I don't know how many top 10 teams you play when you're at Furman.

I don't know if there was a date with Duke that you had to go play at Cameron Indoor or whatever.

So this is a whole new experience to them.

I always try to look for them.

I was walking at Furman recently, and I looked at my...

I see...

Like three or four times as many as I used to see.
