GAME THREAD: FAUY vs Longwood 02-11-08

a problem with our schedule was the gym renovation.  The games at the begining of the year all had to be moved to the road because of the posibility of the gym not being finished.

That is a good point.  It probably would have been easiest to get mid-major Northern teams to Boca in November and December.  Later in the year, when everyone is in conference play, it is tougher to get teams to travel down south for a single game.  Thus, we were left with the Longwood's of the world.  I'm sure that Rex would have much rather played the bigger name schools, but the renovations got in the way.

Re: Tonights game: Longwood...

One last note on the game.  I thought that the attendance was pretty decent considering it was a Monday night against Longwood.  I was expecting to be there with 50 other people, but students kept showing up as the 1st half went on.  They announced 806.  Not great, but much better then I thought.  I can't wait for the FIU game on the 20th.  Let's Bury the Burrow again and beat last year's attendance.

Jay Warman was calling the Rowdy Rexes/Sexy Rexies out for not being too original… "Shortwood!", for instance. Having been to a number of home games, I think what you guys are doing is great and I hope you lead the charge to make fun of FIU come BURY THE BURROW day next Wednesday. Hopefully you'll bring everyone you know.

I guess we'll see if that's the case for next year's schedule. I know over the summer a lot of Phase Two things are going on (bathrooms, luxury boxes, signs, etc) but I doubt that will spill over into the season.

Nice to know that, for next season, we're only losing two real impact players – Jeff Parmer and Sean Alacron – and Paul Graham/Carlos Monroe will be there as well as these excellent freshmen (not to mention Dago Pena and Shay Shine, if they play right off the bat)

Re: Tonights game: Longwood...

Owl country thanks for the support I appreciate it. This kid has some set on him. Ya know what Jay for 1 game the Rowdy's/Sexies should just not show up. I bet you could hear a pin drop or Florida_Owl "talking" to the refs.

Here's a good idea let's bash the alumni/students that actually come to the games and make it fun for everyone else. Let's bash the fans who show up to the sport with the least amount of fan support. Everyone is entitled to their opinions and I know he was just stating his but I am going to email him and kindly invite him to come and sit with us next game.

We are a bunch of fans who like to have a good time and want to be loud and make it somewhat of a home court advantage. We don't use foul language, we don't talk about players mother's or anything stupid like that. Ya know what, some of the stuff we chant isn't original but we never said it was. We get to the games and we look over a roster and look at the players on the court and we come up with stuff off of the top of our heads and just yell things out to be loud.

I'm not sure what his problem is…

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

Re: Tonights game: Longwood...

The other problem I have with this loser… Why does he assume we are drunk? First of all the 2 sexy rexies that were there today came right from work, met up at Circuit City and then went to the mens game. We weren't drunk and we were just as sober as he was. Secondly I'm 28 years old if I want to have a beer or two before I see FAU vs. Longwood University… what's the problem with that? I have been going to FAU Men's BBall games since 1999 when he was probably in Jr. High and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon and we will be there against FIU
