Now we have to look back on why(if) that outlook has changed regarding the team. Was it the decent showing in some of the OOC games? Did that give us false hope in the SunBelt conference? Should the Sunbelt have been a cake walk because of those games? If we look at most of the conference losses we can find youthful mistakes which occurred in certain positions. Some of us knew that mistakes would cost us in some games. Even may attribute to the loss(es). That brings us right back to where we started from in the summer when most of us realized that FAU would have some growing pains this year. INEXPERIENCE.
We've all touched on this subject one way or another over the past several games. I just wanted to put it in perspective and maybe there's other reasons out there on why some of us may have changed our expectations.

I think another reason is the team experienced success very early in its history. I think people expected that to continue even with all the news articles predicting a dismal season soley because of the graduation of almost all the starting players. I think alot of us thought that wouldn't matter. The winning would continue. We were in denial.
All of us including myself want to see this football team succeed. And as I stated above, watching them lose is tough.

Everything we are seeing from this team are correctable mistakes as the youngsters get more comfortable in the system and learn all the proper assingments and asjustments - the learning curve will occur during the off season - this will be a very solid team in two years, a team to be reckoned with. They have learned some invaluable lessons this season and as competitors are sometimes tough to shallow in the moment, but the off season should help to bring them to understand them better and learn from them.
Yes, we are tough on the youngster after losses, but I do think that we just want to see these kids at their best , doing their best and every time they step on the field, I suppose that is what they are doing, their best and I do believe the players hate the lossing more then the fans, but also understand where they are as a team better then the fans do.
The best that the fans can do especially in our last game with North Texas is to stay to the very end of the games and give the players a well deserve appreciation for a great year, not as far as wins, but for effort they have given and shown - they have shown heart and so should the fans.
Go Owls!!

Plus like Ghostof….said, there are some vets who didn't step up like they should have. That makes it a little tougher to swallow.
I still see another win or two this year.. ;D
Let's Go Owls!!!!!

So Danny is supposed to overcome no offensive line and lazy ass recievers. let's see –2seconds to throw or run or break 5 tackles so you can throw the ball away!!!!
Danny can't even throw the ball without someone hitting his arm !!! Danny is the ONLY offense we have and it's pretty easy for the other coaches to gameplan for this sorry a$$ excuse for an offense!! Your comment is assinine%%%%% Your football inteligence is showing!
