MidSeason Grades for the Owls – FAU Owl's Nest

Skip navigation

Post

I think a C overall is very fair.

IMO, the Owls have only been defeated outright twice. We have a competitive football team and that's really all I've wanted since I transferred to FAU last year — clean up a few things and we have a winning club.

I'm proud to root for this squad.

And its also possible to have a winning record and a failing grade….check UF.

Again, this isn't the pros. Each team doesn't split revenues equally…you cant make trades to fill voids from injuries, dropouts, etc or pickup free agents mid-season.

We dont go to a draft room and get the best players available after going 1-11…its the opposite, going 1-11 further hurts the program due to bad recruiting. Losing like that is like quick sand in college football.

The problem with OC40 and fans such as himself is they dont understand the difference between college football and professional football. In college football you have to recruit and wait for the players to develop…its a big ship that can only be turned so fast. Most think ours is turning in the right direction….OC40 thinks we are the Dallas Cowboys and should be able to fix it over night through I dont know…magic?

The problem with you post is the fact we do have talent of you read all my posts I never questioned the talent on this team. I would argue on paper we are about three or four in C-USA.
Yet we are still 2-5 with our two wins that have come against combined record of 3-11.
The problem with posters like you is the fact you are always shinning a turd.

3 or 4 in the conference with all these 2 star guys???? Hows that possible?

Secondly, next season this "turd" wont need any polishing.

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