I thought some bowl would have taken us but it all comes down to 💰. Power 5 schools only have to go .500.

Didn’t our very competent and highly ethical Sun Belt refs take two Troy TDs off the board in that game? It’s always made me happy to see FAU lose.

And the sickness I felt after that FAU game has been unmatched since. Co-champs with nowhere to dance. Thankfully the SunBelt has come a long since then.

Watching New Orleans Bowl reps passing out Mardi Gras beads to FAU fans and players was a not a good feeling.

Last game of the year too. Up until then, the only losses were to ranked SEC teams back in the LB days of take our paycheck and beating.
My wife was 6 months pregnant and didn't want to go to another game. My dad met me there. Omar almost led the comeback. Just looked it up, and it was 28-12 FAU going into the 4th. Good guys scored 20 but the bad guys scored 10. Got down near the red zone but couldn't make the plays to end it.

The stone age for SBC football...one bowl that went to the champ. My, how things have changed...

I am still not over it... lots of what ifs (Gary Banks not going for the first down) or what if Washington had beaten Hawaii just hours later (they were up three scores early). We probably would have gone to the Boise Bowl and played GA Tech IIRC... but Hawaii got their win and went to a BCS bowl...and we were out.

No one knew how well Troy would travel, at that time. But, now they know we'll travel in force.
