-They started out by showing packed Ft Lauderdale beaches, bikini clad coeds, and live bands playing in downtown Lauderdale to open the broadcast.
-Later, they show graphics about HS's career and how he won a national championship at Miami and rebuilt Louisville.
-They showed sketches of our future stadium and even put the proposed location on the tv.
-They sent a much better broadcast team they what they sent to MTSU. We had Rece Davis, Lou Holtz and Mark May.
I'm sure plenty of potential out of state recruits were watching and we laid an egg. I know coaches and player don't go out thinking about that, but its a fact. We need to realize that after the big 3, there are a lot of schools vying for players down here. We should be able to bring 3-5 strong recruits from the south and northeast. If we can't start recruiting with middle of the pack SEC and Big East teams, then we will never get a serious shot to join a bigger conference in the future.

Which one, the recent one or the old BHNS mod sketch?

Good exposure…..yes, but a loss that puts us at 1-5 is not good at all…….as a recruit do you want to go to a program that's slipping
The loss would not have been bad if the game was a great game with great action and play making. Instead it was footballs bouncing off player's helmets, snaps over punters heads, personal fouls, interceptions, fumbles, players arguing on the field and sidelines. Not a good showing. Maybe some 4 star recruits watched the game and decided FAU needs them.

If FIU could get good (according to rivals) recruits after 2 years of no wins (well 1 at the end) then I think we will be fine. Alabama was 6-6 and had a fantastic class, so did Notre Dame…obviously can't really compare, but the number of wins isnt the only thing recruits care about.
You're right – wins aren't as important as other things. And right now, FIU has the facilities; we don't. They also have a new coach and a new team attitude; we don't. Ditto that for Alabama. It's at least three years before any of that changes for us. Cristobal can show his recruits a stadium; Schnellenberger has a diorama of something that might be built… someday. In the meantime, we have a mobile home for a pressbox.
