  • Season tickets for regular folks available July 1

    FAU is about done issuing seats in the new stadium to those season ticket purchasers who had priority points.

  • FAU makes it onto a short list of "NCAA innocents"

    Last month FAU got on a bad list – the APR report card that cost the football team more scholarships due to continued academic problems.

  • Agism? -- Schnellenberger still going strong, why not McKeon?

    Big deal being made of Jack McKeon taking over the Marlins at age 80.

    Lot’s of jokes. And, of course, there is a FakeJackMcKeon on twitter. (“I missed Murder She Wrote for this crap,” the fake tweeted after last night’s loss).

    I think I am desensitized to the age [...]

    Sorry I was absent for a couple days, but what I thought would be a routine trip to St. Pete to cover the Marlins vs. Rays turned into a three-ring circus taking place in a burning tent with the elephants and lions loose and rampaging.
