Florida Atlantic University Athletics
A Day to Reflect

Today is a day of review. In the last week Florida Atlantic has moved from the stages of speculation of coaching candidates to announcing a new team leader. While for some the process seemed long, it needs to be and it needs to remain private to succeed until it is time for the announcement.
The student-athletes have packed away their books, clothes and even cleats for a trip home. Traditionally, I dread this time of the year, students aren't around and the office atmosphere just isn't the same.
Between meeting new coaches, writing bios and trying to book interviews for Coach Partridge, I do not anticipate a quiet holiday. I will miss and thank the coaches who will not be back for the New Year.
Coach Partridge is scheduled to be on the air with FAU alum, Marc Eisenberg, Thursday at 12:30 p.m. and with Orlando Alzugaray at 6:40 p.m. Friday. Both are call in shows, carried on 640 AM, and will be a great way for FAU fans to get to know our newest family member. I will keep you posted on other listening opportunities as they become available via twitter @fauowlathletics.
I would be remiss talking about upcoming interviews without thanking those who cover the team on a normal basis and who covered yesterday's press conference. Give a shout out or email to the reporters to let them know you appreciate their coverage. The full press conference can be heard http://www.fausports.com/allaccess/.
As a reminder, our teams will continue to compete between semesters. For those who miss following their FAU student athletes you can continue to follow the four NFL players and Brittany Bowe, who will compete for a spot on the USA Winter Olympic team click here . Bowe was a four-year starter and varsity letter winner on the FAU women's basketball team.
That's it for me in 2013. I wish each and every FAU fan a safe and happy holiday season.
