Florida Atlantic University football will have a minimum of four Conference USA games televised in 2013, as announced by the league office Tuesday.
The first conference game to be televised will be the contest on Thursday, September 5 at Eastern Carolina. The game will be carried by FOX and will kick-off at 7:30 p.m.
Two weeks later, the Owls will play host to Middle Tennessee, Saturday, September 21. The game will air on CSS at a time to be determined. CSS also has picked up the game versus Southern Miss on Saturday, November 16 with the time to be announced at a later date.
The final game scheduled by C-USA is the game versus FIU on Friday, November 29 at 3 p.m. on FOX. This will be the 12th annual Shula Bowl and will be hosted by FAU.

Wow a game on Black Friday….. I hope were are good or no one will be there.
FAU needs to advertise the heck out of that game and try to start a new S. Florida tradition of ATTENDING a Thanksgiving weekend football game and not just watch one on TV. Even if they have to really drop ticket prices and offrr super deals to families and kids get in free wearing their own jerseys (any sport), something creative to "thank" the community back for its support. Good chance to mend some fences and rebuild some burnt bridges IMHO!
