And jgf2017 - a loss against a quality opponent in a well played game would have gotten us more exposure AND more respect than anything we can do against the Zips. Lose to USF or FSU or similar in a close game would have put us much closer to the top-25.

I change my post above - we have to beat Akron by 100 to get any top-25 recognition. I thought Temple was bad, but this is…. hard to even quantify. We are CUSA champs and it is easy to argue we have the worst opponent of any CUSA school (and one of the smallest payouts). I know it is "at home" and we'll save a little money. But even my daughter who is a Freshman and has not missed a home game yet (including the conference championship game) is kinda like "we don't have to go" regarding the game.Posted On: Dec 3rd 2017, 6:07 PM #374810

That's how this stuff builds - it's a marathon and not a sprint.
11 win season, build the fan base with 8 games at home, national exposure, preseason ranking, dark horse Heisman candidate, talked about during the offseason and the preseason, kicking off with Oklahoma (potential 2017 national champion?).
We'll be talked about all offseason for all the right reasons…

Good point, and you're spot on.

Recruiting has been awfully quiet…but we had the #1 class in CUSA with Lane having less than 2 months in the position. Will be interesting to see what gifts he brings us for Christmas.
We return nearly everybody and add some highly touted transfers.
That Oklahoma game (while incredibly tough to win) will be HIGHLY discussed and watched. It went from a body bag game to national spotlight. We will be on a large winning streak and I think a 50/50 shot and being ranked heading into the game. It's really our chance to truly make a name for ourselves.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

I do hope they still make an event out of this for our players. Put them up at the Boca Resort for the week, events, all thatPosted On: Dec 3rd 2017, 8:27 PM #374855
confirmed they are staying at the boca resort… lots of parties and events leading up to the game. They will be well taken care of - I think they check into the hotel on the 14th, possibly the 15th…

Nice, practicing and playing at home is convenient (and cheaper) but treat 'em right too!!! And get the FULL BAND AND ALL CHEER AND ALL sports involved to.
THIS is the biggest weekend in FAU history, National TV on ESPN with NO other football competition AT ALL! make it a BIG EVENT FAU AND BOCA, AND FILL THAT STADIUM! We want 28,000+ (allowing for say 1K Akron fans) wild excited fans watching FAU destroy Akron on OUR STAGE!
OPEN UP THE EYES OF THE AAC TO WHAT FAU CAN ADD TO THEIR CONFERENCE!
