And as I am getting back into the mix of things, work has kept me from doing the things I enjoy as of late :'(
part of me started to reflect on last season roller coaster ride that lead us to our First Bowl Victory.
Which lead me to play back some of the many moments that help define the season last year.
What are some of you guys greatest memories from last season.
-The USF game was not only a great game, but inculded one of the best game time atmosphere at Lockhart for an Owl game.
-The ULM game, even thought it was a lost, did provide some interesting twist and turns.
-Of course no one can forget our first Bowl Game and Victory over the Tigers.
-The first game against the Blue Raiders and the first game time Harmon Leap.
Seems like every game had a defining type of moment, I just listed a few things to get things started.

The fans moving from one endzone to another…
as a fan that stayed through the entire ULM game, that was THE BEST moment of the season, soaking wet, hours into the game, everyone on there feet and thousands of diehard fans that stayed through the rain running from end to end and screaming their heads off, even the USF game with its packed crowd and chants of "over rated" couldn't beat this moment
this is the stuff that made me realize that FAU will one day have the fan support and atmosphere of FSU, UM, UF

Aside from that the Troy game was awesome, I wasn't in Troy for the game but I was sitting at the center table in the middle of Duffy's sweating my @$$ off in the small room with Nunzio, FLNative, Wpierso3 and a few other people. That place was rockin! it was loud and it felt like we were actually a big time school, we had the entire restaurant watching the game and cheering like we were there. I remember at one point ALL of Duffy's was chanting OOOOMAAARRR.
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Talk about bone-chilling
800+ people took over the street and chanted FAU for about a half-hour
then we went back to drinking

- Watching about 25 people from MTSU sing their alma mater in the parking lot. We wouldn't have that kind of enemy fan support at Lockhart until USF. I hope they bring a larger contingent down this year.
- Looking up at the scoreboad in Dolphin Stadium and seeing 35-14 against Minnesota and knowing for certain that we were going to win this game.
- A USF fan pleading, "Please don't beat us" to passing FAU fans in line for the bathroom at halftime
- The Overtime Shuffle and seeing thrown water bottles from FAU fans bounce off the head of ULM players gloating along the fence
- Walking 20 minutes just to get to the Swamp and being part of that whole atmosphere up at UF
- Being up 35-3 against FIU
- When Omar Haugabook's pass fell incomplete and Duffy's went f****** crazy
- same thing, only with Memphis

Something about the ULM game, it carried so many different emotions that left me drained afterward. And yes, watching the crowd moving from end-zone to end-zone was great on many levels, showed that do have passionate fans that would go thru the trouble of doing it to gain an advantage and show support for our players, which could have been part of the reason why ULM players reacted the way they did. This what makes for great conference games and rivalries.
The USF game, apart from the game-tie atmosphere, was a great game. Just the way the players where able to compete with them, after the way the Bulls had played & beat WVU on national TV. It was a tribute to how the players prepared for this game and ultimately preformed under that kind of pressure.
The first game of the Season was special, just the way the team played from start to finish - a complete game.
The Troy victory was also a highlight, that set-up the stage for New Orleans.
The turning point of the season was the ULM game, that loss brought the players closer & I believe made them more focus on the task at hand. They understood that their goals of winning the conference Title was still within their reach, if they took care of business which they did.

Re: Reflective moments
other than that, besides the obvious of the bowl game and the USF crowd, i would have to say it would be closing out the O.B. in a dominate fashion, that was an amazing game, ohh yah and i got to take home a seat too!
