our band has laid the foundation for some really good traditions… i wish our band would play the chants more often throughout the game (and as often as UF's band) but the point is stop the freaking who let the owls out chant please
We have a band???? Seriously???? My wife asked at UF if that was the same High School Band that use to play at our Home Games…. Sadly it isn't….
I hate to offend any band people that look thru this site, but that was pretty weak in Gainsville, i would of let them at home. I think UF's band had like 300+ USF like 200+

I'm not in the band and I've never been in a band but you gotta cut them some slack. We've had a football team for 7 years Florida has been playing for probably 107 you can't compare the too. The kids in the band play their hearts out I'm sure if we could get more people in the band we'd definitely sound and look a lot better but 1 step at a time I'm sure they'll get there.
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Re: "Who let the Owls Out?" Chant
Although a lot of people consider the chant to be "dumb," etc. you have to remember - we are a young school. Half or more than half of the people on this board can't sing our fight song. We have nothing else other than "let's go owls" and "defense," as far as chants (that the general population knows).
I"WHO LET THE OWLS OUT IS SOMETHING." It's something that we can look back and say "people knew it and chanted it." EMBRACE people like the gentleman who started and keeps the chant going. We need 15,000 more of him - dedicated owls who come to every game both home and away.
Seriously….
- Y'all are talking crap about this guy,
- People (or at least a couple) have criticized the band, cheerleaders, Owsley, etc.
- Not on this board, but on the sun-sentinel blog, one blogger takes rips at the student spirit group, the prOWLers
- one or two posts talked about Clayton turning over the ball on purpose
As someone who is an avid Owl fan, I understand that some things could be different and we wish they were a little better. But EMBRACE what we have. If we keep saying negative remarks, saying outlandish comments about spirit groups, bands, cheerleaders, etc. or tell fans to SHUT UP after they are CHEERING for OUR team, WE ARE GOING TO LOSE WHAT WE HAVE.
Come on guys/girls. Let's be serious. If you are going to criticize something, let's make it positive and have an alternative plan - not just "give them something else to cheer."

As for the guy on Huttons blog bashing the prowlers that's a whole another story…

At the risk of being critical I also have to say that the fight song is pretty lame. "Football in Paradise" as part of a fight song. Weak at best.
Anyhow, traditions will grow with time. Those who are passionate about the program should be embraced even if we don't all agree with how they demonstrate their passion. The important thing is that they support FAU athletics.
GO OWLS!!!

The band sounded great, the uniforms looked great, and with more numbers will be even more impressive. The key is getting more members and that means getting more high school band members to continue their careers at FAU, and current FAU music majors to contribute to the on-field product.
