I was going to say get Hawaii out to Florida to experience some real tropical heat and humidity. I checked their schedule this year. They have a 13 game schedule. The farthest east they come is Alabama to play the Tide. Their opening game this year. Their budget for travel must be huge.

That must have been a good game to go to. My wife has been to Hawaii. I haven't. I was up till 4:00 in the morning listening on internet radio. Unbelievable.

I stayed a week also but it was planned that way before hand. The fight with the fan was funny. He did get his butt kicked before the SMALL cops got up there! They have cops who stood about 5'5 165lbs trying to climb over the wall and break up fights between the 6'2 350lb Samoan guys! ;D

Illinoisowl,
It wasn't what I expected. I expected the Fantasy Island landscape. :) But it was VERY congested! I spent a lot of time in New York and North Jersey. Honolulu remind me of 42nd street but with the ocean breeze. Plus I had to pay $14 a day to park my car at the team hotel where I stayed. :o

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the NCAA pick up a large portion of the travel expenses for Hawaii and also for teams traveling to Hawaii???

When we were going out there I heard something along the line of Hawaii picking up the tab or partial at least. I don't know if that had to do with us being 1-AA or not.

I don't know about any direct NCAA involvements.

Biggest win in FAU history

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee quarterback Clint Marks was named an Honorable Mention Preseason All-American by Street & Smith's College Football 2006 Yearbook. The publication, which hit the newsstands this week, also recognized offensive lineman Germayle Franklin, defensive back Bradley Robinson, and punter Colby Smith.

Marks, who became the first signal caller in school history last year to record back-to-back 2,000-yard passing seasons, enters the 2006 campaign ranked third on the all-time passing list with 5,425 yards. The senior, who is No. 2 at Middle Tennessee in 200-yard and 300-yard passing games, has started 21 straight contests.

Franklin, Robinson, and Smith were all picked by Street & Smith's as preseason All-Sun Belt players. A starter in 28 straight games, Franklin was an all-conference lineman in 2005 after collecting a team and personal-best 118 knockdowns.

Robinson, an honorable mention all-league pick a year ago, led the Blue Raiders and tied for the SBC lead with five interceptions and seven pass breakups.

Smith earned all-conference honors in 2005 after averaging a career-best 42.1 yards a punt and placing a personal-high 19 kicks inside the opponents 20-yard line.

The Blue Raiders will report to camp on August 3 to begin preparing for the season opener on August 31 against conference foe Florida International. Kickoff is set for 6 PM.

Two of our rivals start the season against each other.
