Owls!


Why doesn't FAU coach Howard Schnellenberger look excited? This dude has seen it all. He's coached on a Super Bowl team ('72 Dolphins, no less), been an assistant coach for a few college NCs and head coached the Miami Hurricanes to the '83 National Title. Instead of riding off into the sunset, Coach Schnellenberger decided to start a football team from scratch at a commuter school in Boca Raton, Florida. His work finally paid off tonight with a sound defeat of the Memphis Tigers in the New Orleans Bowl. It's a bummer that he couldn't have looked a little more amped to have a Gatorade shower but hey, he's seen bigger things that I'm sure he hopes FAU accomplishes down the road.

And he probably isn't too happy because he paid top dollar for that snazzy suit.

Note: After Steely's comment, it has come to my attention that the picture might not be of Howard Schnellenberger but actually of Mark Twain. Stay tuned for updates.

I'm assuming he's not too happy about Gatorade on the blazer.
