FAU to play Florida...twice

greenminer · July 26, 2005

I have this hunch in the back of my mind that they probably tried to get a home/home series for the contract, and failed.

Guess it's okay, since they have SEVEN tv appearances this coming season, including FOUR of their Belt matchups (more than anyone else), as rookie conference members.

Yeah, the tv package is unrelated. I'm just a little upset about it I'm not asking for favoritism as 3-time conference champions, but I DO find it a little odd that the FAU vs. UNT game is NOT televised. Seems an even HIGHER priority to Waters to keep us OFF the air as much as possible? If FAU provides for such an appealing TV product, wouldn't the FAU game with the defending champs and last two national rushing leaders provide even more juicy goods to show off to the world?

apparently not <_<

Waters has been so great for the Belt and it's growth. This seems (insert Big Lebowski reference NOW) out of his element.

Like a child that wonders into the middle of a movie...

I hope for a lot of Belt upsets! The one that I want from an FAU standpoint is this year against OK State. It'll be awfully tough, but we have them down here and it'll be on ESPN2 Thursday Night Football.

It was released today that the Owls will have some more impressive opponents coming up. We play UF in 07 and 2011 and next season we'll face South Carolina, Clemson, K-State, and Oklahoma State.
