Schnellenberger's kind of looking for a signature win at FAU, and I prey to God that won't be MSU in '08, '10, or '11.
Seriously, at this portion of their existence, although they're stuck in the Sun Belt (the worst D-1 football conference in the country), the Owls are nothing to screw around with. |
A UF friend laughed when I told him we were playing FAU.  He said they take any reject no matter how stupid and put together a very talented team.

It sucks that Texas A&M isn't on the schedule anymore. I was really looking forward to those games.

Since one of those games would most likely have been played in the brutal humidity of a Texas September, it may be just as well.

If its a night game, it wouldn't be too bad. And its not often I'd get a chance to see the Spartans in Texas. I was already planning the tailgate.

Also commonly referred to as the Smoker game. The night before the game he was spotted out partying, yada, yada, yada, he ends up in rehab.  The start of the fall we are only now beginning to come out of.

That game was also the catalyst to one of the all time RCMB meltdowns.
That season was a train wreck, and it started with that game - well, as far as the fans knew as the "other" problems within the program did not yet rear their ugly head.
