I’m not sure if anyone has told the offensive players for the Panthers, but they should not strive for being ranked in the 100s when there are only about 120 teams in Division I football. When you look at a team that pulls in ranks of 123 out of 123 possible football programs for total […]
After limping to a 1-6 start to begin the year, the FIU football team looks to salvage what’s left of its season as they welcome Conference USA rival East Carolina.

The Panthers returned to campus for their homecoming game in this 2013 season, but that’s all she wrote, as they fell to the Blazers of the University of Alabama at Birmingham. A much closer game than earlier games in the season, the Panthers once again hurt themselves and allowed the Blazers to march 70 yards […]

The Panthers beat the University of Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles, who now have lost 17 consecutive games, 24-23. “One of our sayings is, ‘guys, we’ve got to believe before this happens.’ At […]
The losing streak continues! For Southern Mississippi, and not the previously 0-4 Panthers. Their losing streak is over!
