Game Week Thread: Troy @ FAU - 10/27/12 @ 5:00 PM

For the first time I think EVER, I dont really feel like going to a home game.

That loss to USA just killed me. Not because we lost, but because of the WAY we lost.


I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

I wanted to try and make it to this week's game, but its not going to happen.  I can't justify the expense of the trip with the way we've been playing.  I'm not jumping ship, I still love my owls, I just can't see spending money I really don't have to go down there and watch a terrible game.  I'm bringing a group down for the 12/1 game though, along with lots of booze.

My prediction, I think  Troy more than covers the spread, with plenty of room to spare.

FAU - We got Bowls!

I think we already got several Pass Interference calls on us and the game hasn't even started?
WTH!!!

From Big D's most recent: "FAU's last Sun Belt win was a 24-23 home victory over Louisiana-Monroe on Nov. 13, 2010, at Lockhart Stadium. FAU has lost 20 of its last 22 contests."

Holy cow, I didn't realize that we are as bad as FIU was a few years ago. That is just brutal.

Yep, this just hit home with me on Saturday night.  We are the worst team in arguably the weakest conference in the country.  Yikes.

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

Trojan notables from victory over FIU:

Troy rallied from down 16 in the second half to defeat FIU 38-37, it was the largest second half comeback from Troy since 1995 at Central Florida

Quarterback Deon Anthony’s 115 rushing yards were the most by a Troy quarterback since Bob Godsey had 122 yards against UT-Martin on Oct. 28, 1997

Anthony’s two rushing touchdowns were the most by a quarterback since Dantavious Parker had two against Middle Tennessee on Oct. 6, 2009

Anthony’s first-quarter 33-yard rushing touchdown was the longest touchdown run of the season for the Trojans

FIU’s touchdown on the opening drive was the first score allowed by the Trojans on an opening drive this season. In four of the previous six games, the Trojans held their opponent to three-and-outs

Linebacker Brannon Byran’s third quarter interception of FIU quarterback Jake Medlock snapped a school record of 203 consecutive passes without an interception

My favorite quote:

Well, we don't need to be stupid. If you look at the tape and check these cats out, you can see they can win a game, they can beat us and they can beat anybody they play.

We're 4-3, I don't know how you could look over anybody. We're trying to get bowl-eligible and to championship-caliber.

Via the Montgomery Advertiser this morning…Could the Owls be seeing two QB's on the field at one time on Saturday?

“We were trying to talk to coach about trying to get me and Corey on the field at the same time,” Deon Anthony said. “We haven’t convinced him yet.”

Dual QB could turn Robinson, Anthony into a 'two-headed monster

The "BEAT" t-Shirts are bad enough, but whoever is in charge of this stuff, please don't turn this into a t-shirt:
