He certainly has gotten a little cranky this past year, perhaps it's the stress of full time school or something but on a few occasions I've wanted to comment about his articles so I'm glad I'm not the only one who notices it.

And you can NO LONGER bitch about athletic fees. If FAU still had Angelos at the helm and we were still focused on running a balanced lean budget, then yes you could complain BUT we went out and got a gamer to run our programs and you will see a big difference and that money will be put to great use. the FIU game is the focus this fall, go to that game, take a picture, that's what FAU football will look like in 2013 and beyond.

Anyway, getting back to the GAME…….

;D

What are people in The Land of Sin thinking here?

Owls open at +3.5, and it's now +4 after a quick "adjustment"??

Not on board with that…the two games we just played will pay dividends for the defense when the game "slows" down, and the bodies FAU is going up against are substantially smaller.

never been a Ted fan. Don't want to sit here and complain about a male wannabe nurse because i don't really care enough too.

I don't pretend to know sh!t about play calling just think a blogger who can offer actual insight into offensive/defensive schemes for us and our opponents would be interesting.

I hope FAU doesn't look like the kitties in 2013. That team actually sucks.
I want FAU to be better than what they were "last year".

I like the fact we were aggressive on defense against some of the best teams in the country, and G.W. didn't make too make mistakes in those games.I would like to think we can beat the Mean Green.

First, this is a huge game for this season and the program.  Dont want to be dramatic about a conference game vs. North Texas but this one is big.  If we win this game the team gains the confidence of being able to compete and win again (it's been awhile).

Tough to guess how the guys will come off of three road game losses in a row by big measure.  I am looking to see the continued play of GW and his good decision making.  I would like to see a runningback step up in this game and look to take the lead role (expecting Fortner to step up and take most of the carries).  The defense has been awful.  I would like to say we just played deep safety to take away the big play vs. Bama and Georgia to keep the big plays from killing us all day….but that does not explain a TERRIBLE game vs. MTSU.

I want to see some blitz packages as I think our DLine is undersized and not able to provide pressure without bringing Dbacks or LB's.  I think we have the coverage skills in a man to man situation to risk this.

Alright enough said…please win this one.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

+1

(and lets not even consider a loss at this point)


Some visual fodder UNT used last season before our game….i wonder if they will do a 2012 version?

I actually feel pretty good about our chances in this one. Wilbert has been very good and I think the defense will rise to the occasion. It will most certainly be close, but it is a very winnable game in my opinion.

GO OWLS!!!

I hate to be negative, but I firmly go into every game expecting to lose at this point (hope for the best, prepare for the worst). I watched us barely beat our FCS opponent, get beat up by a bad Sun Belt team, though I won't judge us for getting slaughtered by the nation's top teams (we hung with Georgia for a little, but didn't do anything against Bama until backups were involved, again no crime there). However, North Texas drilled their FCS opponent and hung tough with K State (21-13 after three), who just knocked off Oklahoma last week. Until this team proves to me it can beat anyone in D-1, I'm kind of expecting 1-11. Still going to be there supporting our guys as always!
