Football team, school, getting ready for ESPN 2

Florida Atlantic University's football team will be playing live on ESPN 2 when they take on the University of Louisiana-Lafayette Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. at Lockhart Stadium in Fort Lauderdale. This is the first time FAU has been nationally televised since they played Minnesota last year.

On Monday, Head Football Coach Howard Schnellenberger will be broadcasting his weekly radio show from the Heritage Park Resident Hall lobby on the Boca Raton campus. This is the first time coach's radio show has been broadcast from a resident hall. The Athletic Department is doing this in hopes that students get excited about Wednesday's game.

On Tuesday, the dance and cheer teams, marching band, players, coaches and prOWLers will be hosting a pep rally on the bookstore lawn starting at 11 a.m.

A car caravan will be leaving from Indian River Towers on Wednesday at 3 p.m. to head down to the game.
