Print | Florida Atlantic vs Troy
October 7th, 2008 Lockhart Stadium Boca Raton, FL |  |
Why?: Three reasons. 1) Schnellenberger is a Bryant disciple, and therefor we love him (which is why he gets a pass for whipping the holy hell out of our own beloved Tide in the '91 Fiesta Bowl). 2) Last season's game was really one of the most exciting ones that I saw. Troy actually led 9-7 at the half, but the Owls scored 21 unanswered points to take the lead and came up with a last minute defensive stop after Troy staged a furious comeback to secure the conference title and a bowl bid, leaving Troy, who actually ended the season at 8-4 vs FAU's 7-5, at home for the post season. 3) It's a Tuesday night game. What else are you gonna do?
Who do I think will win?: Probably FAU. They return 10 starters to an already impressive offense (they finished 16th nationally passing, and QB Rusty Smith, both starting WRs, and his starting TE, who finished second on the team in catches and yards, all return) and should be improved on defense with 8 starters back there, while Troy will be breaking in a new QB and OC.
Who do I hope will win?: Beefcake comes early this week, ladies, as dapper doesn't even begin to describe the well coifed yet still masculine glory that is Howard Schnellenberger.
 You're welcome. |

Good ol' Howard...
Gotta love him… the man who brought Joe Namath to Alabama.
Considering what he did at Miami, it’s really a shame that we couldn’t have gotten him to succeed Bryant. He was a fine coach then and still a fine coach today… he’s going some great things at FAU.

I may have been rooting...
...harder for FAU in their bowl last season than any other, including us. That they were playing Memphis didn’t hurt, but mostly it was Schnellenberger’s presence on the sideline.
Schnellenberger
is one of the most dapper and classy gents to ever grace a college sideline. I hope he is successful at FAU, seems he has that program on the right track. The man is old school throw back all the way, and anyone who has the BALLZ to wear a suit that nice on the sidelines in Florida Septembers is a man’s man in my book.
Roll Tide, Howard. Roll Tide buddy.
Roll Tide, Bitches!!!
They play...
...a ton of night games down there for a reason. If it isn’t on TV, you can almost guarantee that early season games anywhere in Florida will be at night.
True.
I wonder who Todd would go gay for first – Schnellenberger or Kragthorpe?
Roll Tide, Bitches!!!

No fantasizing here...
What you do on your own time is your business. But there is this office pool…
Roll Tide, Bitches!!!
