Remember what that was all about!
I think these guys can do it. They just need to focus and believe in themselves.
Like the Mets ace relief pitcher, Tug McGraw, used to say "you gotta believe"

The Owls looked OK in the win against ULM, although the defense was a bit suspect at times. And yes, FAU handled Southern Utah, but they are a I-AA school, and not a top-tiered one at that.
I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but please hold off on any championship talk until AFTER we beat a good team. Please?

Schnelleberger didn't blow any sunshine up the players butt when they played those BCS teams. Howard calls it like it is. He is on record as saying they weren't going to win. His goal is to win the SBC.
Canadian, If I'm wrong, I'm wrong and I will let you be the first one to tell me. If you fly up here I will pick you up at the airport just so you can tell me. In the mean time I am pulling to the Owls to reach their goal with you or without you.
You're too young to remember the '69 Mets. They were everyone's pick of who would not be in the world series in 1969. They had weak hitters, the had mostly unknown players, no proven anything. They won the world series despite everyone saying they wouldn't, couldn't, can't.

Yes, I know Schnelly's goal is to win the Sun Belt. Shouldn't that be FAU's goal EVERY season? Beating up on a I-AA team, as we were expected to, should give us some confidence. It shouldn't say we are now favorites to win the Sun Belt.
I'm just trying to keep you from going off the deep end if FAU doesn't win the Sun Belt.

I remember when the program was starting up and Schnellenberger say that our goal was to win the national championship and nothing less. He took a lot of criticism but has still stuck to that comment. He said that aiming for anything less would be a waste of time, resources, and taxpayer money… and he's right!

Can this team handle the pressure because every week during the four game stretch is very improtant and the pressure will continue to build with each and every game. We can expect at least one lost during that stretch.
Scenarios for that 4 game series, Lets start with the best of all posibilities:
We go 4-0, then we are definetely in the driving seat
We go 3-1, the seat is still warm and have some control
We go 2-2, makes thing more dificult and things become more complicated (of course it depends what happens withion the rest of SBC play)
We go 1-3, no chance for a SBC Title
We go 0-4, :o then we know we have some work to do for next year.
The scary part is, all these scenarios are possible.
Will we be happy as fans if we go 2-2. I think we need to brace ourselves, because we are now enetreing the meat of our schedule and the race will surely be fun.
Go Owls!!
