Howard has to ...

So you mention this kicker we got as a transfer and then never elaborated….. did we get a new kicker? when is he eligible?

Last name is Gornall. Number… 90? Walked-on, so should be eligible now but likely won't come in until next year because of the senior kickers we have now.

Oh yeah, he played for Palm Beach Gardens.  Good, pretty reliable, strong leg IIRC.  Made a game-ending FG to send Gardens to the state championship game in 2005.  I'm surprised he didn't get a scholarship somewhere.  Should be a junior next year, I think.

Re: Howard has to go

you guys have a great coach, yall shouldn't be so down on him.  your program is young, and it is going to take time to match the obviously high expectations many of your fans have.  You made a bowl faster than any other team in division 1 history, Shnelly did that.  don't be like these annoying Auburn fans up here, stand behind your coach and he will deliver you the wins you want.

I'm a bit spoiled obviously, having had Coach Blakeney for 18 years.  The man is a saint I tell ya, a saint!  haha, no but seriously, both of our teams have good coaches.  Yours talks a bit too much, and has really got his butt handed to him against some of these big BCS teams, but such is the way of the 'Belt.  We're a mid-major conference and recruiting is tough.  just relax, FAU will be on the same level as TROY one day if you'll just be patient.

Nice backhanded compliment at the end there.  I think we have already acheived Troys level.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Re: Howard has to go

take it anyway you want, i'm not trying to pick a fight.  i am just of the opinion that TROY is further along than FAU.  you don't have to agree, but that's just my opinion.  I also believe that FAU is a great program, and one I am proud to have in the Belt.  TROY, MTSU, FAU, Arkansas State, and ULM are the teams that make the Belt.  all the rest are leaches keeping us down.  TROY and MSTU are the cream of the crop though.  We've been around and we've taken some quality teams down.  I know yall beat Minnosota last season, but that team is pretty down.  Quality win, but not the same quality as Missouri, Oklahoma State, or Maryland.

Re: Howard has to go

Troy is ahead of FAU. Troy has beaten top 25 teams and Troy has on-campus facilities and a stronger fan base. They aren't too far ahead of FAU, but they are ahead.

GO OWLS!!!
