It has been 2,000 days since FIU has won a Shula Bowl!!!

I hope after we move to the AAC we continue the game. Questions is which comes first, 4000 days or the kitties shutter their program and focus on soccer?

Soccer is a sport of the future.

That said, AAC Owls should play in-state Panther rivals as often as possible. #ShulaBowl

Rice Owls Houston Panthers don’t play every year but we do more often than not. #BayouBucket

Temple Owls Pitt Panthers played every season for 31 years 1974-2004 but only once since then (2012). Nothing on the future schedules. Fix this!!

I've heard that repeated countless times since the 80's. Forty years later it is still a strong sport for youth leagues as are many other sports but it has never translated as a sport embraced by the masses at the high school, college, or professional levels in America. Yes, immigrants love the sport and most college teams are full of immigrant players but the average American still sees it as just a youth sport to keep the kids active.

With women soccer, yes, it may have inroad.

And none of the games since have had anywhere near the people. It was FOMO. MLS will never approach Europe in terms of quality and thus they will never have the fan following of the NFL.

I hear a lot of fans complain about their team being inconsistent, we demonstrate how to be consistent.

There is something to be said about that!

Come to Atlanta. It's become HUGE here, especially since the Braves have moved to Marietta, and the Falcons well are the Falcons. Where I live (not Atlanta anymore) 3 of the state champions are from my county (yes mostly immigrants). It's building in the South.
