After the way this season started, I'd take winning out and a Shula Bowl victory and be happy.

I agree, win the Shula Bowl…..lol, that can be our bowl game this year…….

And im saying it now….i think the Shula Bowl is going to be a good game this year!

Of course, I'm pulling for FAU all the way. But don't be surprised if FIU can pull it out. They are a good football team.

Let's not get carried away here. They beat a pitiful N. Texas team, they beat WKU and they beat MTSU. Granted we lost to MTSU and FIU beat them, but FIU is an IMPROVED football team, I wouldn't go as far as saying they are good. I wouldn't go as far as saying we are good either right now.

Actually, we beat North Texas, MTSU and Toledo (not WKU, we play them in December). If it means anything, we also got within a touchdown from winning against USF. Also, the 2005 Shula Bowl was not "erased" as much as some would like to believe. It is very much in print and real.

We are going to hand FIU its a@@ again.  If Rusty keeps on the get healthy track he has been on (he is throwing the ball off his front foot again if nobody has noticed), I think we will house FIU by double digits.

I forgot about this…. didn't FIU forfeit their wins that season?

Smitty:

Yes, they did…actually any games from 2003, 2004, and 2005 that involved any of the players…

Panther:

Here is the most recent article detailing the issue:

"It is worth noting, though, that just last spring, FIU was ordered to vacate records of all games involving 45 athletes tied to a case involving financial aid violations that led to ineligible players.

Among those casualties were FIU's 2003, '04 and '05 football seasons."

Even if the win doesn't exist in the record books, the on the field beating still happened.

GO OWLS!!!

Okay, they are 1 for 7…that means they win 14% of the games we play, that is called domination.

I agree. Domination indeed.

GO OWLS!!!

I think the score is still on the Shula Bowl Trophy too…..last i saw it, it was

Lol and Jab as i have told you numerous times this year…..i dont think any game is gonna be domination the way this year is going….we can win and should win, but im just saying this is gonna be a game this year

When you have to take a dump……there's always the Toilet Bowl… about as close as we'll get this year

If Troy losses 2 more games, very possible now due to their QB situation to AK ST and the Cajuns the problem is the Cajuns.

They have to lose to us then to MT in the last game and believe it or not we win the Sunbelt if we win out.

I know that is alot for a team that is 1-2 in conference play but I think it is possible, I'll take anything at this point.

For those of you who want to rain on my parade–SAVE IT…GO OWLS!!!!
