Chris Forcier to play QB! ...at Furman?

"Just got word that UCLA quarterback/receiver Chris Forcier is transferring to Furman.
He is expected to compete for the QB job there."
Is that a 1-AA or D2 team?
"Furman competes in NCAA Division I athletics as the Paladins. The university is a member of the Southern Conference. In 1988 Furman won the NCAA I-AA National Football Championship. Furman also appeared in the 1985 and 2001 NCAA I-AA National Football Championship game, but lost (to Georgia Southern and Montana, respectively). Furman, Colgate, Lehigh and Richmond remain the only private universities that have appeared in the I-AA Football Championship game, and Furman was the first private school to win it, with Richmond becoming the second 20 years later. Over the past few years, Furman's football team has been consistently ranked in the top 3 spots in the NCAA I-AA polls, and recently climbed to no. 1 in the nation in the latest Sports Network polls [10]. The Paladins have also claimed 12 Southern Conference football titles, more than any school in league history."

Paladins!
Plus, he can play with one of the kids from the first season of '2 A Days,' that had to be a huge selling point. Yes - I watched it, sue me.
He's not as important as his other brother
Dude, Chris was The Man in high school. He was the second leading tackler on the team, and he played QB. It's been quite a wake up call since he got to college though. :-)
Seriously though, this is still interesting as far as the "All your Forciers are belonging to us" sentiment goes.
Being the "man" in high school is a lot different than being the "man" in college. He would have been a nice addition, but his brother is the bigger pickup for the program.
Based on the fact that Chris isn't coming here, I'd say you're spot on chap.
Tap, tap, tap. Is this sarcasm detector working?
I figured most people wouldn't notice that virtually my entire post is a direct quote of the stuff we've been (good-naturedly) making fun of you about in the Dann O'Neill thread, but I didn't expect it to fly entirely over your head. :-)
Point taken though: Dead horse. Beaten. It will receive no further comments from me.
And I was looking forward to Forciertron! oh well
