Barking Carnival

So I watched the 30 for 30 documentary The U. It was great on so many levels. I enjoyed it far too much, though I am admittedly an easy mark. Play a 80s rap track track over a tunnel brawl and I'm yours.

You don't tug on Superman's cape; You don't spit into the wind; You don't pull the mask on that old Lone Ranger, And you don't mess around with Jim. As old as he is, one would have thought Florida Atlantic Coach Howard Schnellenberger might have at some point during the 1970s heard and listened to the lyrics of that great old Jim Croce song, and possibly even taken them to heart.

I've pondered this issue, and despite Howard's current antics I have come to think that this is an unfair characterization. First, let's review Schnelly's history.

And they plan on building another one next Wednesday. Says they started it with diesel fuel. And by 'diesel fuel' they mean whatever they wrung out of Howard Schnellenberger's shirt after he passed out on the practice field.

Howard Schnellenbeger has never lacked for confidence, and he has never been shy about expressing it. Howard thinks his Florida Atlantic Owls will be good this year, good enough to come into Austin and win. Of course he also thinks that the Longhorns are a bunch of wussies The Owls were 8-5 last year, won the Sun Belt and went to a bowl for the first time. FAU defeated Memphis 44-27 in the New Orleans
