As I stood at football practice, in the shade of the Oxley Center, thinking about my blog entry this week, the cool air and nice breeze remind me there are two times a year when there is something for every sports fan at FAU.
Coincidently both are when the weather is beautiful for enjoying a game. One is late September/early October every FAU fall sport is on full go. The other is late February/early March.
Right now, football is well underway as is volleyball, which open at home this weekend with a 3-6 record. Men's and women's soccer move into conference play this weekend. Cross country has hit the trails and golf is enjoying the quiet courses, as they prepare to start their fall season. Many fans can't wait for "Midnight Madness" to find out about their favorite basketball team. The women open up early this year and the men's team will host cross-town rival Lynn University November 5. Men's and women's tennis have begun practice with the men's team receiving preseason accolades.
Swimming is in the pool and softball began field work Tuesday before hosting games starting on September 29. Baseball has begun the work towards defending their Sun Belt title and will host its annual alumni game during homecoming weekend. Last but not least, track is preparing for their winter and spring seasons.
It is the best time to be an Owl. Look for your favorite sporting events or feel free to email me and I would be happy to find a great event for you to attend.
The next home football game (9/29) is FAU Pride Day. Show your spirit by wearing your FAU Colors.
