Two questions about this year's Florida Atlantic game

1) is this game, as a replacement for the Bowling Green road game, a one time thing where FAU isn't required to do a return game to Laramie?

2) Is the Wyoming @ Bowling Green game done or will it be made up at a later date, say in 2011 or 2012?
 
Call up the MAC and ask them about that whole mess......I think if UW were to play FAU at home they would have to set up a whole new home-and-home, this game is fulfilling Bowling Green's home requirement of the original home-and-home deal.
 
Because that MAC made a mess of scheduling, UW actually received a windfall. Instead of our original home and home with Bowling Green, we basically get a 2 for 1 out of the deal (BGSU last year, FAU in 2014).

It is over. BGSU gets nothing from us. FAU makes a return trip in 2014.

Thank you. By 2014, Wyoming should be a lot better and would take care FAU by 28.

FAU has only had a football team since 2001 and is likely the favorite this year. So with the exponential improvement of their football team and combined with your prediction that we can beat them by 28 in 2014, that would put us pretty much at a 2014 national championship.

How do you figure, all we are doing is improving...
It took 3 years of existence to get ranked #4 and make it to the Div II Finals.
It took us 7 years (3 years in D-I) to get a conference championship and win our first bowl game (fastest ever for a startup football team)
And last year to go to another bowl game (2 in a row, fastest ever again, hell some teams still have not done this) and win... again

We are in one of the best locations for recruiting and it only gets better every year....

So tell me again, how you will be SOO much better than us by 2014?

Bottom line, this year should be a good match-up, 2014 is a little far off and hard to tell what will transpire.
