On Friday, June 17 a letter to the editor was published with some nice things to say about FAU. It looks to me like maybe an alumni. I know when I was attending FAU there were students there from all over the country and world so it could be. He signed the letter as being from Lawrence.

To the editor:
Tuesday, Chuck Woodling wrote that ?nobody takes Florida Atlantic seriously because the school is only four years old.? FAU was founded in 1964, not 2001, and it?s a decent regional university with some internationally recognized programs. I believe that Mr. Woodling has confused the football program with the university ? something sports enthusiasts and reporters sometimes do. But it?s not right.
He gets his region wrong, too, describing Boca Raton as ?suburban Miami.? But Boca is about 40 miles away from the Miami limit ? it?s like describing Lawrence as being in suburban Kansas City, Missouri.
FAU may be a football pushover (we hope), but it?s a strongly academic university with only a tenuous connection to its football team.

I found this with a general news search on MSN for FAU.

That letter to the editor is actually from a professor here at KU. I just took a class from him last year.
Here's one of those worldly types who's travelled all over, but it's also possible he's worked with some professors of psychology at FAU. I almost remember him saying something about it……

Good luck to your program. I have the highest respect for your Coach. I still remember him bringing his Louisville team (then not highly thought of) to Lawrence and kicking the Jayhawks butt.

Thanks for the words of encouragement. We hope to make a good game of it for 4 qtrs. Winning would be nice too. ;)
I really don't think your coach will take FAU lightly. Now if his players have other ideas….. ;D

Oh yeah..Red Tide on the Central West Coast Beaches. Dead fish floating on-shore with the stench to go with it. Some say it's Mother Nature's way of cleansing the water. A water filter would have been better and less of a headache.. ;D
