[QUOTE]The Golden Panthers have lost 20 games in three of the past four years, and haven’t had a winning record since going 16-14 in the 1999-2000 season. FIU finished fifth in the six-team Sun Belt East Division last season, and averaged only 693 fans for its home games – one of the lowest totals in Division I.[/QUOTE]
Good luck.
I didn’t realize FIU had 30,000 students. Large school in south Florida, its a desirable location, but can Thomas recruit will be the question.

Only 693 fans for a 38,000 student university…I never want to hear anyone from this board say we have bad attendance.

He can’t recruit until he passes the NCAA course. Of course, he’ll grab a good recruiter who is already certified to hit the road tomorrow.

Our attendance is poor.
FIU has their first incoming med school class in August as well. :weep:.

No, you had already posted before I ever started to post anything.
our 6,000 looks and sounds a lot better than 700…
So how is it that a school like FIU can afford a big-name coach?

Um…they are probably the only ones that wanted him.

I’m sure Thomas isn’t getting paid Calapari type money. He’s made his, maybe he’s looking for another challenge, as if the Knicks weren’t enough for him.

FL is America’s wang…sorry had to add that.
Does that mean that Alabama is America’s Taint?

Ever see the crowd at the Convacation Center at U of Miami? 700 would be generous and they are in the Ah-She-She!
[QUOTE=49erDrummer;401627]Does that mean that Alabama is America’s Taint?[/QUOTE]
Nope, that’s Texas, what’s after the wang but before the taint?
Thomas will be donating his entire first year’s salary to FIU athletics.
