One other thread I thought was interesting was a game thread on a Canes board. They were following the game and laughing at the Big East refs and how they were protecting their golden ticket with that call on the punt(and Canes fans know first hand about Big East officiating). Then they said they missed a pass interference call late in the 4th and said the game was a hachet job by the officials. Now, I'm not one to blame refs after a loss, but i'll certainly let others do it for me!
The USF board is mostly complimentary, although there is one guy complaining that FAU has the worst fans ever because his car flags were torn down, his blowup monkey doll was busted, and FAU fans were taunting their fans after a TD. Whatever…you come into an opposing team's building and you have to expect a certain amount of that stuff.

Cane fans aren't happy that they lost to a team that USF crushed. FAU played great, lots of heart. USF was flat after the WVa game, however, no excuse, USF has to learn to play with the bullseye on them. Most FAU fans were friendly and cordial, however there were a small percentage of FAU fans that were not, happens with any fan base. Good Luck on the rest of the year, win the Sun Belt.
I'm sure that happens anywhere you go. There is no need for anyone to be nasty. It's just a football game, but a lot of people get beer muscles. There were a few USF fans sitting in the FAU student section none of them started with us, they were all very nice and shaking our hands when we put up a fight against you guys, until the 4th quarter when I think they got scared we may win they left and I think went to go sit with the rest of the USF fans lol.
Overall it was a great game, walked around during the tailgating didn't see or hear of any fights, even saw some FAU and USF fans hanging out drinking and tailgating together. Most FAU fans aren't like that, don't let 1 or 2 idiots give a bad name to everyone else.
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

I guess that is why college football is so different from the pros. They really have their heart in it.

I guess that could not be challenged?
If the USF guy is mad about his flag being stolen, we're even. Someone broke into my truck bed and stole a 2-liter bottle of Coke (left the Mountain Dew) and broke the flag right off my window.

And could the police have made a bad situation any worse after the game by restricting all outgoing traffic west on Commercial? Duh! I-95 is east!
There was very little police presence directing the flow out of the stadium (in fact, I saw none). Even churches are required to have police direct traffic after masses.
They also blocked the turn lanes that keep anyone from making U-turns.
The will-call situation and snaking line was completely unnecessary.
It just makes me think the people who run Lockhart have no idea how to handle a public event.
An on-campus stadium cannot come too soon.
Oh, and I want to make sure to mention something positive. The issues FAU controlled were done pretty well. The kiddy area was fine, as were the tailgating and fod, drink offerings. I even saw that they were selling Owl Water!
The alcohol cops must not have made it because there were some real crazies out there, topped of by the guy sitting on a couch atop a beat up Volvo station wagon. As the car drove away after the game, he and the couch came toppling off the car backward. Both appeared to survive.
But that must have left a mark.
