When posting this list, i did not cut and paste. I typed the list from scratch. I glanced back twice and typed the list from memory. In my memory, I HONESTLY couldn't differentiate between the two schools. My first thought was to go back and fix it, but then I thought I would stir the pot by leaving it as it was as an homage to those who use the _ insult almost exclusively when referring to either of these schools.

Regarding name smack, I think that the humor of referring to both schools as F_U pales in comparison to my favorite, which is to refer to each of you distinctly (i.e., Florida Ocean and Florida Airport).

I didn't expect such a strong reaction, as I didn't know that either school had any fans (or at least any who speak or read English). Besides, if either of you would do anything to distinguish yourselves from the other schools in FL that the football world does not know or care about, then we wouldn't be having this problem.

Again, I wish that I had a reason to differentiate between you guys (or care to learn), but you each have yet to provide me one.

That's a Miami thing not a Boca thing.
It's also great reading that comment from someone from maybe the fastest worst educated state in the country.
''At least thu suth wil ryse agun"
The three states with the lowest proficiency rates for fourth graders — Mississippi, New Mexico, and Louisiana — also had the three highest poverty rates in the nation.

The problem with that is the fact despite years of success you're in the same place as your were then.
You take shots at the new schools moving up, but if you were have to take one program 20 years from now you're taking FAU and FIU.
The same way UCF whipped right past you.
In the end you have been playing football 50 years before FAU even became a school yet we are in the same spot.
That says more about than us.
So it's Mr. Florida Atlantic to you bud.

So, Mr. Florida Atlantic, in what P5 conference do you see your Owls (or Panthers, or whatever) ending up in in, say, the next 50 years?

We are where we are BECAUSE of where we are. OUR history + YOUR location would have us exactly where we desire to be in the hierarchy of college football. Despite your market advantage and desirable location, you will not surpass the G5 level of college football. Congratulations on reaching our level. Get used to it. There is a greater chance that you will float off into the ocean than move "up."

lol....dem millennial f__lings

I can distinguish between the F_Us, but mostly because of all the crap FAU has done to piss me off. If you're looking for a villain in CUSA, that's the direction in which I'd point you.

What have they done to piss you off? Speaking honestly, I cannot recall anything that either team has done. For example, when the second of the two was introduced as a new member of C-USA, I didn't notice, because I thought that it was old news.

Ask anyone NOT in FL to list three facts about either school and they will give you the most confused looks. I have had people ask me if they were both for-profit online universities. Granted, I am aware that both of these schools have large enrollments, much greater than ours. My point is, the average football fan could not tell you anything about either program.

No problem; and I'm sure you can understand my confusion when I see comments from a fan, from so backward a place that the children go to school without any shoes and where the toilet is usually kept a few hundred yards from the shanty.

owlcountry40 is funny :) He insults our education in a nonsensical sentence, then can't successfully quote another post!

Well, first off, their founding father is Howard Schnellenberger, a guy who was very outspoken about his dismissive attitude towards USM and CUSA. The dude left Louisville for Oklahoma right before the conference's first season, and instead of talking about new opportunities and ****, he tried to paint his move as some sort of protest against the formation of CUSA. At FAU, he said the school was headed for the Big East and would never join "that USA conference." And what's really funny is that the proximate cause of Howard's angst is the fact that we handed his team their only loss in 1990 (?), costing them an improbable, underdog share of the national title.

Beyond that, the whole way the Carl Pelini thing went down just disgusted me, with their Han Chinese AD outing him publicly for supposedly smoking dope. There's a reason that's never happened before, and it's not the fact that Carl's the first coach to smoke dope.

124 for Olsen is ridiculous. He wouldn't have been recruited and signed to Miami if he was that bad. Give me a break.

I will not even begin to try to point out all that is wrong in your punctuation, capitalization, and sentence structure. I do not have time. I have to go and pick up my children from a school. I will be sitting in line beside the same type of cars that you would find in a Boca Raton gated community. The owners of those cars have intelligence that is far superior to that of the nonsensical poster above. Not only do they wear shoes, but they are the kind of shoes that are hand-crafted by the parents of FIU students.

And no, this will not go straight to "Smack'" (sic), because it was a damned good thread until the unknown institutions of the tip of Florida hijacked it and made it all about them. Granted, it was the most in-depth discussion that I have ever paid attention to that involved those schools.

I have my own Tech shaded sunglasses, but I can definitely tell when to have them on and off.

I don't care if he put PCP on his breakfast cereal. The whole thing was classless. Good luck to Patrick Chun with his next job search... maybe he can get an internship at Reddit or something.

I guess when you're at the bottom of the conference in both football and basketball every single year, you also need something to hang onto. What that something is, I have no idea. Baseball? Market size?

Has one winning season and you are the toast of the conference.

Here's a fun fact:

FAU football has ten losing seasons since the inception of their program in 2001.

USM has ten losing seasons since 1972.

Or how about:

USM has one more losing season in twenty years in CUSA than FAU does in three years in CUSA.

The problem with that is the fact despite years of success you're in the same place as your were then.

Try checking who you're responding to(and proofreading wouldn't hurt either), I'm not a USM fan or grad, just someone who sees how stupid your comment about "one winning season" is.

I'm not your "bud" and if you are Mr anything, it's Mr Misplaced Sense of Importance.

What a difference one season makes!! Southern Mess is back and making sure we all know about it!

owlcountry40 asked a valid question, after 104 years of football ( .581 win %, 8 conference championships, 20+ games against the likes of Louisville, FSU, Miss. State, Ole Miss, Auburn and Alabama) why are you not with those guys?! This is actually worst than the kid that gets picked last on the playground, they took their ball and went two towns over to avoid picking you. If this consistently happened to my program over a century, I guess I would be in a constant p_ssed off state of paranoia as well.

As for the F_U, airport/ocean, FU stuff I can understand the mix up, you are 0-fer against both programs so equally pissed off I guess.

0-2, really? That is shocking. I don't even remember playing you. Did those games happen to be during the worst year of our program's history? Do we have to ever play you again? Let's see how that works out for you.

Regarding the envy of the country... Let's just say that most who visit leave with an improved opinion of our state. Those who visit our campus leave impressed with it and our tradition.
