What's Carl Spitale Up To These Days?

Yup, Nick Paris. Very important part of our back to back bowl wins. He was hysterical on Teds blog. Something about wanting eat puppies or something like that haha.

Last time I saw him he had dropped a lot of weight. Not sure what he's up to or where he's living these days but hopefully anytime they honor the 07 and 08 teams he can make it back to Boca

My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Nick Paris…

Nick is doing quite well.  Just had a little boy.

Here's the Pic & Thread:



On a side note:

Would give anything to have that line again!

I'm sure everyone will think I'm crazy lol, but if we had Paris for that game at Texas in '08, I don't think we get blown out. We still lose but we make it interesting at least for a half like we did vs. So Car.

We were driving on them, we had the ball first and we were in their red zone, then the replacement center snaps the ball over Rusty's head, he goes to recover the fumble, the Texas defenders jump on him and he sprains his shoulder. That changed the entire momentum of the game. If Paris was under center there's no doubt in mind that ball isn't hiked over Rusty's head and we score there. Much different outcome than what we saw.

That's just my opinion though. Not sure if anyone else sees it that way

PARIS.

Thats it, You guys rock.

Glad to hear hes doing well.

I actually ran into Nick and Carl in Disney world with thier Girlfriends the year after the Memphis bowl game. They came up to me because I was wearing FAU Swag. Both of them thanked me for being a fan and apprecaited the support.

Great guys.

I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick @$$ and I'm out of bubble gum.

Not only did that change the game…that changed our Season! remember, Rusty plays most of the year with a banged up shoulder and is not the Rusty of 07/08.

Yes very true. He had some bad throws at times after that. We ended up 6-6 and got into the Motor City Bowl thanks to Howard. If he doesn't get hurt I think we win 8 games, not including the bowl game because who knows who we would've played

click on the photo this was opening day of the new stadium last year



NICK PARIS IS BACK
I didn’t ask former Owl center Nick Paris to make a pick, instead, I asked him to tell all of you what it was like coming back to campus and seeing the stadium that the teams he was on (winners of the New Orleans and Motor City Bowls) helped make happen. It was those bowl wins that got momentum behind the stadium.

And above is Nick Paris, former FAU center, and his wife (sorry, forget her name, but she is a Gator.) They are expecting their first child.
Nick played back when the offense was humming, thanks to a line that could handle the job.
Later…

Not a big fan of Spitale, he was part of a group on Facebook called "F FAU" I guess he thought that college gets you a job not having to sell yourself......

How is Nick doing these days? Still playing football? I hope he comes back again this season to check out a game or two. Maybe give some advice to these players on what it takes to be a winner. With Stintson no longer in the team, pretty sure we don't have anyone left who played in either of the bowl games
