FAU/Troy to play Memphis

FAU/Troy to play Memphis

I think the ideal situation would be that we beat Troy and play whoop up on Memphis in the N.O. bowl, and Troy being invited to another bowl game and whoopin up on whoever they play. That would make the SBC 2-0 in bowl games. That would be cool.

Does anyone know what bowl Troy could play in, and who it would be against if they lose to us?

The only at large team that looks like it will get a bowl is Navy. Other than that I think all conferences have enough eligible teams for tie-ins so it doesn't seem like two SBC teams will make bowls even if FAU wins.

GO OWLS!!!

So thats two things troy has that we dont…..a stadium and greek housing (which will never be on campus for us)

We both a ton of idots…..

I'm not sure what the last comment is (we both a ton of idots?) but in terms of Greek Housing, a $6000 report was commissioned on Greek Life at FAU that recently wrapped up. The Director of Greek Affairs says it's looking really good that we'll have some sort of Greek Housing on campus in the near future. Worst case scenario, it's USF's model, best case scenario, UCF's model. Expect something in the middle.

the Pac 10 is the closest to not qualifying enough bowl-eligible teams for the number of tie-ins that it has… BUT, that still doesn't mean anything good for the Belt, because the big ten has a WHOPPING (and probably unprecedented) TEN bowl-eligible teams and the SEC is also crammed with bowl-eligible teams… so an Indiana and a Miss State are going to take any Pac 10 spots that Troy/FAU would have been offered

Ill give $10 to the first person to take a picture with Mr Ho this weekend! $20 if he is holding the recipie to General Hos chicken.

So apparently on the Troy board they saw this comment and think we are offering a cash reward… http://www.gotroytrojans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8774

"The FAU board is offering a cash reward for a photo of Mr. Ho.

Some here might also want to add to the pot."

No offense to Bob but can the people that live in Troy afford to throw in the money? I wouldn't want Billy bob to sell his 1 tooth that he has left so he can chip in

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Re: FAU/Troy to play Memphis

I continue to wonder why other teams fans think the Troy fans live in Troy, Ala. Do all the FAU fans live  Boca Raton?

Most Troy fans I know live in Florida, and of course, many live in Birmingham, Montgomery, the Panhandle, Dothan …

No, I have been to every Troy (and FAU) home game this year and have many friends and acquaintances who attend games.

Many people who come to the games are from Florida, where Troy has thousands of alumni.

(During the '70s and '80s - before Bright Futures and when there wasn't much of a traditional college choice outside of the big two, Troy allowed Florida residents to attend classes with severely discounted out-of-state fees. That, plus its proximity to the north part of the state, drew many, many Floridians to the Wiregrass.)
