When did SMU paint the seats orange?

[Ben Gooding]

Yeah, you can tell it's halftime. Miami's weak band is in a formation.

Has FIU built a pressbox yet?

FIU was a card that Banowsky had to play. It basically shut the Belt out of the great state of Florida. If you leave FIU you leave the Belt with a school to recruit to there. Some don't know this but FIU has been in C-USA before we were for a long time already in men's soccer so there were political connections. The other thing is this, FIU is one of the top 5? or thereabouts in terrns of overall enrollment in the country. Additionally they are in a terrific location (Miami) and have good academics. It also provides a natural rivalry for FAU. Yeah their fan support stinks but if they start winning again it will pick up.

Banowsky picked FIU before FAU.
