2008- A Sucessful Campaign for the Panthers

The "off season" seems to indicate that football is over, on vacation, or is dormant. Nothing could be further from the truth. Currently Ferrum coaches , as well as other colleges are busy filling the voids with an aggressive recruiting program, assessing their facilities, and replacing equipment as needed. No football is not being contested at Adams field right now, but it would be far from the truth to think it is dormant.

While many initiatives are underway to get ready for the upcoming season, listed below are highlights from 2008:

So Panther fans, celebrate the successes of '08, and look forward to the opening kickoff of 2009. I believe that we will see big things from the Panthers this year. For the Major League Black Hat junkies, I have added a "countdown to kickoff" clock on the blog. Kickoff is getting closer every second.
