I was planning on seeing if away fans were allowed to go the the game but being 64 and with the mess that GSU is with the virus, I guess not! Disappointing so many are so STUPID AND SELFISH!!!!!!

I don't follow baseball but it doesn't sound like they cancelled any games because of this particular player. He tested positive, sat out and everyone else played. With that being said, I agree that if GSU has an outbreak and players continue to test positive throughout the week, then yes, it is a risk we can do without.

Agreed. But presuming we are proceeding with playing, are they still going to be down 33 players? Also, it just me or are we quietly becoming a media darling? SMU game was broadcasted in prime time when no other games were on and now we’re in the same spot on ESPN1 

Coach is all smiles as we're just five days away from kickoff in Statesboro.

#FAU's @CoachTaggart: It's football week, baby!

We're all SMILES in Paradise! Just 5⃣ days until kickoff. #GoOwls! 👌 pic.twitter.com/qWhmUKhNoI

This is what I’ve been saying. We’re a tv draw. I think everyone knows we have a lot to offer with a huge market in Palm Beach County, Broward, and a lot of potential. Imagine how crazy it’ll be when Sanders is the starting QB. We can position ourselves to be in the conversation of possibly moving up if the P5 ever expands. We have location, and other things like being high on student diversity lists.

It doesn't have much to do with us.

This game got moved up because Miami vs Louisville got the prime time slot.

UCF vs GT get ABC at 3:30.


If you see the 3:30 slate you can see why we got the ESPN call.


None the less this is a primetime spot for FAU and outside of the bowl games, we have mostly disappointed in these spots.

This is one of the most "unknown games" we could ever be apart of as Owl fans.

We will all learn together who is the bulk reps on D together as we watch on Satuday.

Who knows what GSU looks like if they get any of the 33 that missed last weeks game back.

Lotto numbers might be an easier guess than score prediction.

Agree. I have no idea what I will see.

I still think we got on ESPN2 before it got moved to ESPN because we’re a tv draw. I didn’t watch the Shedeur Sanders ESPN game, only highlights, but from what I heard FAU was mentioned a lot. I definitely think there’s something going on and people realize what market we have and that we have a large student body.

That wil be interesting as quarantine time is usually 10 days minimum plus two negative tests!
