Re: Rusty Smith Appreciation Thread
We have been Blessed to have such a fine young man of Character and Faith leading the charge for his tenure. Although this is not the way any of us would have liked to see him end his career as an Owl on the playing field, he has brought immeasurable positive exposure to this program, and we would not be where we are without him.
God Bless Rusty! You are in our thoughts and Prayers!

Much moreso than some real "professionals".
No one can ever take the 2 bowl wins away from him.
Also liked how he did not put any blame on the MT defender. Class act.
Best of luck from an opposing fan. Hope to see you on Sundays with the Titans, Rusty !

Re: Rusty Smith Appreciation Thread
The one thing I've gotta thank you for is putting our team on the map. YOU are the only thing (aside from Howard) that the casual college football fan knows about FAU. I can't tell you how many times the "gators" in my office ask how Rusty is doing, it's really all they know about our program. Maybe it's your name that they remember, or your unorthodox delivery but whatever it is, it's good. Career wise there have been some good performances but 2007 New Orleans Bowl was nasty, you couldn't miss, I got tons of texts from friends saying how ridiculous our QB was in that game.
I've always been proud of my Alma Mater and my football team but you made it easier man.
Best Wishes, continue to put us on the map at the next level.

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Two bowl wins, a conference title…excellent work all around. Too bad it didn't end with Rusty winning a third bowl this year, but it doesn't diminish his accomplishments or his role in putting FAU on the map. Well done.

His leadership skills have been evaluable and IMHO will continue to shine the rest of the season.
As hard as it will be for a competitor like Rusty to stand on the sideline, I have no doubt his presence will be felt…he will now lead from the sideline.
Hoping for a quick and healthy recovery…the dream is still alive…to believe is to be strong.
Good Luck Rusty and Thank you for all you have done for this program…You are True Blue.
Go Owls!

Re: Rusty Smith Appreciation Thread
First, I would like to say Thank You for the memories. This picture takes us back to the day before your first NCAA College Football game Vs. Clemson. This picture was taken with my two sons and I explained to them that you were the new starting QB for our beloved FAU OWL's. Little did we know, you would rewrite the FAU record book and turn into one of the classiest QB's in all of NCAA Football.
Best of luck next year in the upcoming draft and I look forward to watching you on Sundays! I will definitely pull for any team you land with–even the New York Jets :-\
THANKS AGAIN FOR THE MEMORIES!
GO OWLS!
