cant wait for them to toss Jim's a**hole for three hours so we can watch a 13-10 game with the stars being blocking TE's.
I hate the big 10 with all my heart.

I will be there with at least my 4 seats taken and my daughter in the student section. I am trying to bring another family with us to get to a total of 8 or 9 in attendance. I am guessing an announced crowd of over 20k (but 16-17k actually in the stadium). I hope I am short on that number, but it doesn't sound like we should expect a ton of FIU people per you guys - especially after they just lost???
As for the game - we need to force some turnovers (like we have all season). I saw several balls that while they would have required a great play, they should have been interceptions for us yesterday. And of course it seemed like every time LA Tech put it on the ground it took an immediate bounce out of bounds. Our D is not going to statistically wow most teams, but FIU has given up more first downs and more points than their opponents, and I think they are -6 in turnover margin for the season. If those kinds of trends continue, I think FAU should handle their business just like they have been doing. But the team has to stay focused and we have to show up and play. I think the focus will be there - win this game and we lock-up the East division and home field for the championship!

Didn't go very far last time I tried it, but how about a roll call, how many you are bringing, and guess on the attendance?Posted On: Nov 12th 2017, 9:02 AM #373192
I'll be there with the largest group we've assembled since the stadium opened - currently 60 strong and hoping for another 10.
Attendance should hit 16-17k but will feel like 12k. Hoping it's a sell out! I'm thinking the students show up for the last home game (excluding the championship game of course!).
