“That wasn’t my comment. What I said was they have a very talented football team and they are the most talented team in the state of Texas. We can’t match them up with talent, but we can sure as hell try to out-hit them and win the game on turnovers and that sort of thing. “I don’t remember questioning their toughness, I was actually assessing their talent.”

Re: Coach clarifies comments
The UP has gone through some troubling times - especially before current adviser Michael Koretzky got there. Koretzky cleaned up the UP and has really restored the credibility the student newspaper…well…never had. Some of the most credible stories include:
A report on MTV being on campus and staging a volleyball game with playboy bunnies vs. Road Rules/Real World (one of those crews). MTV tried to pay off the UP not to print the story…and they printed it.
A 2000 or 2001 report on the student government in Tallahassee having an adult entertainer in a hotel room. Although this is legal because state money was not used, I never read the story but I would imagine they took the angle of ethics.
A 2004 story what one the Associated Collegiate Press News Story of the Year about SGs 25 % pay raise and them shutting down and suppressing the UP. I was part of that staff and we had four or five stories that year that really started the success of the investigative journalism in the UP, including uncovering the "retreat" the executive board took at the end of their term for "team building" to Key West for three days.
In 2005 and 2006, those stories continued - especially with the story on SG President Kirk Murray and the book vouchers.
ALL THAT to say that I doubt Jay Wareman, although I've only talked with him twice so I don't know him that well, or Koretzky or any other staff member would risk the credibility of the paper by even taking words out of context.
But…stranger things have happened.

I have a hard time believing that the FAU sports editor lied - why doesn't Howard stand by what he said?
I don't!
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

I'm not taking sides at all on this, but here's a perspective:

I will take it VERY personally if it is revealed that Jay intentionally did this. I worked my ass off to build a reputation for the sports department and the only reason Jay has the liberty to go talk to Howard is due to the ground work I laid years ago at the UP.
Having said that, these quotes are so strong and I am sure the UP confirmed that as being something coach said to Jay. They have too much baggage to not cover their own butts.
Also… I know Howard mumbles and carries on. I had to remind him a couple times our quarterbacks name was Jared Allen.
