1. The biggest team in the Sun Belt by far.

2. The slowest team in the Sun Belt by far.

3. The coach looks, acts and dresses like Ricky Ricardo.

Is this gonna be the official game thread?

We really owe them back for last year. One of the more painful defeats we had last season. Freaking Alex Galindo.

FIU is also the worst road team in the Belt.

0-8

Let us not forget the Lucy, Fred and Ethel chants. What kind of noise did Ricky make anyway? Bababaloo or something like that?

I think I'm gonna have a stroke.

Wow, we don't seem to want it bad enough. Missed the freebee for the possible 3 point play?

We escape. And we're just 1 game back of UALR now.

The 7-foot center for FIU (Hicks) has lanky arms.

it was directed at one of FIU's tall, skinny players with real lanky arms...I cannot recall which player it was now, but I think it might have been Hicks...

[CMJ]

IF(and a big if at that) we beat WKU on Thursday we'll own the two top teams in the East.

Somehow the Pit Crew needs to trumpet this should it come to fruition.
