• FIU favored Saturday; a USA minute

  FIU opened Sunday as a 5.5-point favorite over South Alabama and is now down to 3.5 or 4 in most places, despite the news that quarterback Jake Medlock would play Saturday (which Mario Cristobal reiterated on the Sun Belt conference call Monday). The over/under, which started at 51, has gone [...]

• A few thoughts on Western Kentucky 14, FIU 6

  Several years ago in Las Vegas, I made a late night trip from my room at The Venetian down to the blackjack tables. I was there for a few hands of even play, then got one on which I split aces. With what the dealer had showing, this should’ve been [...]

• Gameday IX, Western Kentucky at FIU; women's soccer Sun Belt co-champs

  The advance story on today’s game discusses Glenn Coleman and Willis Wright. I wrote most of the story Monday, intending it to run in Tuesday’s Herald. However we’ve scaled back coverage at 1-7, so I holstered it to use it as the advance. Coincidentally, i think they’ll be the keys [...]

• Wednesday at La Cage; Beaupre La Plongeur de La Semaine

  No real news coming out of Wednesday morning's football practice. Jacob Younger's the only first team player who didn't practice. Senior running back Jeremiah Harden could be back this week, which would let them give even more of a rest to Kedrick Rhodes, who's been doing kind of a working [...]

• FIU men picked last in the Sun Belt's East

  The other Sun Belt men's hoop coaches might know the FIU coach's name -- at least his last one -- but they don't know his players. Or, they do and they don't think much of them.

  Whichever, FIU was picked last in the Sun Belt's East Division in the preseason coaches poll [...]
