With the game being on TV (CSS), it might be a bit tough to break that record.

6th Man Club

As for the 6th man club I am pretty sure its the same guys who are in the prowlers. I don't believe the prowlers really exist much anymore. According to someone who knows Smitty he said that Smitty is no longer in charge of the prowlers. Said he stepped down because he had to much work to do. Would explain the lack of his presence at recent basketball games. Maybe he will show up to the football games only, not sure.

I am one of those guys who sit behind the press and yell and scream and the refs. Been doing it for years. When I first started it was me and my roommate and maybe 15 or 20 other people in the gym, it was dead no one ever showed up.

At 1 point we had the student body president and our suite mate at the time Pablo Paez create an organization called the Prowlers. There were a handful of us, about 20 or so of us made it up to UCF a while back to cheer on the team when they played in the ASun tournament and eventually made it to the NCAA tournament.

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

No the the 6th man club is different from the Prowlers. Smitty did indeed step down, partially because of the work load but mainly to teach the younger students how to run the organization. The Prowlers are the ones that are at the basketball games with the new t-shirts stating "The Rowdy Rex's" and holding up signs to cheer on the players. The Prowlers are very much alive.

although their T-shirts don't make much sense (it should be Rexs Rowdys) I am glad to see everyone going to the games. I heard the attendance record was 4,000 people also a few years ago against Miami. Where did you hear 2800 was the record?

Whatever the record is, I hope we shatter it. I am actually headed over to Toys R Us seeing if I can find a stuffed panther and maybe some rope. Should be a fun game and great atmosphere

I was told yesterday by someone in athletics that the attendance record we are trying to break is 2800 not 4000 at the FIU game. I think that's an attainable goal on Feb. 10th.

Who said that?? They are mistaken…tell them to pull the box score from the Miami game on November 27, 1995…

I'm pretty sure the 2800 was Doherty's first home game. I think Dexter is the one saying it.

That explains it…Dexter has only been there since 2001…he replaced me…if i still had the next years media guide i would scan it in and post, but i do not…pretty sure it had a picture of the crowd…

it was full on both sides top to bottom, and none of this leaving the top 5 rows pulled back along the sidelines…also, the top level bleachers on the south end of the balcony were extended…only time this has ever had to be done except for graduation(s)…quite an atmosphere…

2800…4000 either way let's hope the gym is PACKED next Saturday! I am sure there will be a decent amount of FIU fans/parents but we gotta be loud and obnoxious (just no cursing, too many little kids around) and we have to drown them out. It's gonna be a big game for FAU. Hope we can throw a beat down to FIU of course I mean in the game not a fight this isn't UM (had to get that in there sorry lol)

FIU didnt even have a crowd when we played down there - but the students werent in session at that point either…their attendance at home this year has been pretty poor though…dont think they will travel very many at all…
