Somebody named Ross Watson as well who is an intern with you. Any info on him? http://my.journalstar.com/Husker_Extra_Group/Husker_Extra/blog

Thank you, its been a pleasure. Wish you guys the best of luck this season except for the next 2 games. Gotta pull for my other Belt members.

Hey Nebraska fans, Part of our bloggers tradition for FAU is called Demolotion Monday. It either features the Destruction of our opponents effigy if we win, OR the "destrcution" of the Howard Bobble Head Doll if we lose. So for your enjoyment here is the HBHD getting rolled by Nebraska. Video of Howard Schnelleberger getting Rolled. And below is the link if you want to read the story. FAU Sun-Sentinel Blog See we even destroy ourselves and not always a big red N.

Good guys here in arkstfan and fanof49ASU. Ive known them for a while on thier board and the Belt Board. Theyll give you the straight scoop. Sorry Huskerfans, I have to pull for stAte in this one and ULL in the next. Confrence brother an all you understand. Go get em Red Wolves! Do the 'Belt proud, unlike my Owls. P.S. Watch out for SUH, guy is HUGE and FAST.

Well while the Huskers scored about what I figured they would, I am SORELY dissapointed in my FAU Offense. I thought Rusty Smith looked pretty sharp and is release was quicker then last year. We left one or two opportunities pass and that was the scores I was looking for left on the field by dropped catchs. I want to thank you guys and gals for my time here. Ive enjoyed waiting for the season to start by talking with you all about the game. Best of luck in the rest of your season, and I hope we get to play each other again.

I can see that, and we just dont have anything like that as of yet to get all riled up about. It will all come in time I suppose.

FAU has beaten a BCS team. We beat Minnesotta (SP?) in 07. I know they werent good that year at all, but they were still a BCS team. I think about Grease as well at the Pep Rally. Yeah its corny but it also works and brings the students and players together. Remember FAU has only had a Football team for 9 years total, our success on the field is bringing the fans together and with campus life growing (FAU has only been in existence since 1962) we need things like this to grow the support.

well played sir, well played.

Coachs show from Boca Raton is getting ready to start. www.espn760.com for streaming. They also interviewed Tom Osborne this afternoon, and that should be in the Archives if you want to listen to that.

LOL Touche

Burning the N wasnt a big deal. The fire itself and the rally was the big deal for the students. If it had been a UAB dragon you would of seen the same thing that you saw with the N. I think thats whats got us scratching our heads, it wasnt like weve never done this before and solely targeted Nebraska, this is our tradition during the 1st week of the season.

On another board that I wont mention, (starts with a R and ends in a S) they were pretty hostile about it. I dont post there because I dont like the boards and they way they make people pay to read.

FAU SunSentinel Blog I truly dont understand why it would cause all the commotion. When Howard said what he said about Texas yes, I could see that. Burning an effigy and having it cause this much consternation seems ludicrous to me. An interesting read and here are some facts that put our program vs your in perspecitve. BY THE NUMBERS I guess some Husker fans were upset when FAU burned that big N. Get over it. Nothing personal. A reminder – FAU is entering its ninth season of football. NINE, as in first game played in 2001. Nebraska has a 110-year head start on the Owls. FAU is still trying to establish some traditions. It’s kind of tough when the team plays at a high school stadium a dozen miles from campus, and most of the students drive to school and live at home. Nebraska got its 100th win in 1907. Not sure if Boca Raton even existed back then. FAU has 48 wins. Nebraska has 297 straight sellouts at its stadium, while FAU has had one sellout at Lockhart. Nebraska has been to 45 bowl games, FAU to 2. Nebraska has had 28 walk-ons make it to the NFL. FAU has not had a single player in the NFL. The Nebraska sellout streak goes back to 1962, and FAU did not even exist at the time. This isn’t David versus Goliath, it is a minutes-old-baby still gooey versus Goliath.

Texas, Michigan State, stAte, all had pretty good D's We are able to move the ball, the issue (especially in the Texas and Michigan St) game was finishing. In the 1st quarter of the Texas game we drove the ball into the Red Zone in our first 2 possesions, we failed to score on both. Same thing with Michigan, we had opportunities just didnt capitalize. Our OL is bigger this year, and has experience. I really think Rusty Smith will have the time he needs to throw the ball and make the play, IN THE FIRST HALF. After half time, when we get tired, is when youll start to get thru and put the pressure on.

Phil Steele says: 45-17 NU wins....... "Last year prior to the opener FAU coach Schnellenberger called out Texas and he paid the price in a 52-10 loss. For the most part Howie gives all his players a lot of time in games like this to better prepare his team for the upcoming conference schedule. The Huskers have some question marks at RB heading into the year and have a first time starter at QB. FAU has just 3 starters back on defense and in their last 12 games on the road vs BCS conference schools the Owls have lost by an AVERAGE of 46-8."
