We were in I-AA while I was a student at NT not too long ago (although we never quite put together a year in I-AA like you guys did last season), so I admire what your program has done in such a short time. Coach Schnellenberger has definitely got you guys pointed in the right direction.
Here's a link to our message board, http://www.gomeangreen.com/board2/. Come by some time and talk football with us!

With all the sucess we had last year, won't mean a darn thing once the season starts - a good season the previous year is just that, history.
This team will be hungry to prove that last year was not a fluke and I still predict that we will pull an upset within the first three weeks (all road games) of the season and who the victims will be remains to be determined, but will have a major impact for this program as we continue to grow.
Hopefully everything will work out and I will be able to attend this game.

BTW, Bytor, we have a huge tailgate party area just outside of Fouts Field. Let us know if you are indeed coming, and we'll be happy to introduce you around to all the folks at gomeangreen.com, who always have a big contingent of tailgaters…

We hope that the game will be competitive for all of our sakes.. ;)
The OOC games are very important for the SB Conf. The overall SB records were a bit on the downside. We know that baseball will hold up it's end. Basketball is still on the "wait and see" list since the NCAA invite a few years ago. Softball will more than hold their own.
My guess is that if football falls short this year, they will be very competitive in a couple of years. By that statement I mean a few more D1 studs on the O&D line who has been together for a couple of years.

The Sunshine State, not the Lone Star State! I root for you only because the success of your program tends to indirectly affect the success of our program and vice versa. Look how the local media talks about our schools, FIU and FAU, like we're twins. So hopefully we can get this game televised on Sunshine Network.
P.S. Good job last year on shocking the nation into knowing your names; but watch out, this year it is our turn and unfortunately we won't be able to participate in a post-season.
