2009 Wofford Terriers

[Colonel_Reb]

Wofford was one of the best and whitest teams in the FCS last year. They lost RB Dane Romero to graduation, and have a black listed as a starter at one of their Halfback positions, but they still have some really good white runners. I couldn't help but be amused by the "blunt-sharp" connection at LB. With 19 whites as possible starters, this will be another team to keep your eyes on this year.

When did Wofford join division I Col.? They are definitely a team I want to watch this year.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

Wofford College has expanded its football horizons quite a bit over the last
two decades. Prior to 1988, they were an NAIA team. From 88-95 they
were NCAA Division II. They joined the NCAA Division I-AA Southern
Conference in 1996 and are the smallest school that sponsors a D-1
football team. It being a private college, the enrollment there is just 1,350! Its nice to see a
school stay true to itself as long as Wofford has. Lets hope they
continue to do so!

 

[White Power]

Colonel they dont play an all D1 schedule how long before they start?

 

[Colonel_Reb]

WP, any FCS school can play DII teams in non-conference games. DII schools even play DIII schools sometimes. Its just like FBS schools routinely playing FCS schools out of conference. I thought that was fairly common knowledge.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

WP, exactly which non-Division 1 schools is Wofford playing this year? I don't see any on their 09' schedule.

 

[White Power]

charleston Southern, Chatanooga,Gerogia Southern,Appalachian State,Elon, Samford,Furman. Some of these schools are division 2 progrmas Colonel.

 

[ToughJ.Riggins]

Appalachian State, Elon, Georgia Southern and Samford are Division IAA-the lower Division I level or FCS- I don't know about the others you posted.

 

[White Power]

I know but they don't play a true D1 schedule I am not knocking them I will root for them trust me however I wish they played better competition against mostly black bigger name schools because it would bode well for our cause.

 

[Colonel_Reb]

White Power, I guarantee you that those schools are all FCS just like Wofford is.

Even though Wofford isn't playing any this year, what I said about FCS teams playing D2 teams is true. I know because I've been to two of them. Twice I saw Mississippi Valley State (FCS) versus Delta State (DII).

 

[Colonel_Reb]

White Power, you do realize that there are two divisions within Division 1 football, right? FBS is what used to be called 1-A, and FCS is what used to be called 1-AA. An FCS school who chooses not to play any Division 2 teams is playing a Division 1 schedule. That is what Wofford is doing this year. Here's their schedule to prove it. Their non-conference schedule includes South Florida (FBS), Wisconsin (FBS), and Charleston Southern (FCS). You'd have a tough time scheduling a tougher slate of games than this. As a FCS team, they have a tough, all Division 1 schedule. Try doing a little research next time before making such claims.
