First, congrats stAte. You played a solid game and totally deserved the W. Good luck to your program in the future. I hope the few stAte fans attended the game had a good time in Miami.

Second, my apologies go out to the Sun Belt and C-USA. It is really sad what this year has become. We have the curse of the South Florida fan multiplied by a very young franchise with an extremely limited fan base. I have no idea why my fellow students cannot show up for games. There was definitely more students tailgating at kickoff than those that went to the game. I am just beside myself. I won't even get into the play of the 1-5 football team.

I have no idea why not even 10% of the 50k that go to FIU cannot go to the game. But after witnessing what I just did, it is hard to blame them. It is very embarrassing to have your program shown on national TV with probably about 5-7k in attendance.

So again, make fun of FIU all you wish. I guess we deserve it. Our attendance will follow the same patterns as UM. It's just the way it is down here in S FL.

Goodnight.
