• Ex-FAU tight end Rob Houlser cashes in with the Cardinals

  

  Well, I would have to assume Rob Housler locked up a roster spot with the Cardinals yesterday since they signed him to a four-year deal worth about $750,000 per year. (League minimum is $340,000).

• Should FAU add Butch Davis to list of potential coaches?

  Wrestling with this one: Should I start a ‘Hire Butch Davis’ campaign?

  Davis becomes another big-name coach who was let go under a cloud of controversy.

  That sets him up as a potential FAU hire, as the Owls have had decent luck when picking up coaches who have [...]

• Strange but true: FIU thinks it has a Heisman winner on its team

  Ah, finally back in SoFla.

  Yeah, it’s hot, but it was headed for 100 in D.C. today, and if feels a lot hotter up there than it does down here.

  Good trip, but now it is time for some FAU football. Players report Thursday, and a grand tour of [...]

• In D.C. for attack of the man-eating praying mantis

  From NYC to DC.

  Vacation to Marlins duty.

  I know it's off topic, but Logan Morrison got attacked by a praying mantis last night.

  Yes, two former Owls are now on NFL rosters today as part of the free-for-all that followed the end of the lockout, and there could be a third.

• Seeing FAU at the Metropolitan Museum of Art

  Players report Aug. 4, some underwear practices beginning on Aug. 6, and with it the 2011 season gets under way.

  I have surfaced after a rough 100-plus degree days exploring NYC.

  But I have found ways to make the trip applicable to FAU....

  The below were taken at the [...]

• Bad luck, close losses the problem in FAU's slide? Reality check...

  The Voice said during his Media Daze interviews that FAU was winning the close games in 2007 and 2008 and losing them in 2009 and 2010 as a way of saying the program had not slipped as much as the records may indicate.

  I buy that in 2009, when they [...]

• FAU QB battle: Wilbert, Kooi have combined for four completions

  Tuesday The Voice tossed all the diehard fans a bit of meat to chew on until camp opens when he declared that Graham Wilbert has the edge going into preseason camp.

  That’s the first time he has indicated a favorite for QB, and changes the dynamic a bit.

• Schnellenberger: Graham Wilbert No. 1 QB heading into camp

  

  Could just be another psychological ploy by the master of such stuff, but The Voice went out of his way during his session at the Sun Belt Media Days interview to say that Graham Wilbert was ahead of David Kooi in the battle for starting QB.
