Owls get help they needed
The talk at FAU Stadium this week was centered on what was going in far off locales like Little Rock, Ark. and New Orleans as much as what was taking place in Boca Raton.

FAU knew it could make it into the Sun Belt tournament by sweeping FIU this weekend, but anything short of that and it would need some help from other teams around the league.

The Owls won the first two games in dramatic fashion, but lost 17-10 on Saturday - no sweep - but the Owls got what they needed when UALR beat Arkansas State and Louisiana-Lafayette pounded New Orleans.

FAU must be living right, because at the beginning of the day it seemed like UALR defeating ASU was a long shot. But the Owls make it in and it should be interesting to see how the Owls fare. I know it's a different dynamic, but the softball team went to the SBC Tournament as the No. 7 seed and made it to the championship game.

Who knows how they will fare, but making it to the tourney - especially after winning an SBC series in back-to-back weeks - in the first year under new coach John McCormack is something Owl fans should feel good about.

They may not win the thing, but at least they are in it.

Why do you think that? It's not that I disagree, I'm just interested to hear why and where you think the Owls will improve.

There will be 72 teams going to a bowl game this season fau will be in that number.

Nice slogan. The poster could feature multi-colored flat-bottomed shoes...
