fiu the next Boise

[Mean Green 93-98]

Their facilities havent kept them from making a legit run at the conference championship for three years in a row (this year being the third).

They were 5-3 in the Belt last year, in fourth place and not even close to first. I might be misunderstanding how you're using the phrase "legit run at the conference championship" . . . ?

Everyone's the next Boise, and all of their quarterbacks are the next Seneca Wallace.

And they're all passing us by!

I can't stand the term "the next Boise State".

On another note, at least no one is calling anyone "the next Penn State".

They certainly have the talent. Last year after they prison raped us in the opener, they beat Louisville and UCF in consecutive weeks. They lost by 5 to ULL and by one to WKU. Their only questionable Sun Belt loss was to Ark. St. 16-34.

Yes, they were fourth in the SBC last year but were picked over the third place team for a bowl. They are only a few seasons away from dreadful records but they have been recruiting fantastically. That talent is starting to stack up and they are building depth. Their coach has rejected offers from several high profile positions because he thinks something special is happening there.

In the pre season coach's poll they were picked to win the conference. Anyone paying attention knows they are about to be really, really good.

MTSU, WKU, and, for that matter, even FIU, of last year would tell you that relying on preseason polls to predict future events is completely unreliable.

FIU has had one surprise year, one underachieving year, and pretty much nothing else.

Not quite Boise quality.

Nothing else.... Two bowls. no is saying they are Boise, just saying they look like they are heading that way
