Agreed. FIU has a knack for getting big-name coaches. Wonder how Pitino Jr. will do down in Miami.

Thanks Panama for the wishes. Richard Pitino is young and inexperienced, but at the same time he's worked under several coaches, including obviously his father and Billy Donovan in Florida. Most people from Louisville and other places he's been at, speak fairly highly of him, both as a person, as his basketball IQ. At this moment, that's enough for me. We are hopeful he can....finally...bring back an above .500 record sometime in the next 3 years. Let's see what happens.

I think we have you guys scheduled in Miami next Dec. Should be fun

I think I speak for the rest of the SBC when I say we are glad the Thomas error is over at FIU.

Good. Like old times in the ol' TAAC.....

Man, you guys need to stay. That would be one FB away game I would never miss

I love the Sun Belt Conference. I don't know what will happen in the near future, though with our conference home decision.

"We would like to welcome our new basketball coach, Mr. Richard Pitrino!"

I can't wait to find out if FIU's AD actually knows his last name.
