Students travel to Texas

16 prOWLers traveled to Dallas, Texas this weekend to support the Florida Atlantic football team against the University of North Texas. The team won in dramatic fashion 17-16. After the game, Head Coach Howard Schnellenberger thanked the fans and the prOWLers for traveling.

The prOWLers are a group of students that support all athletic teams. Currently they have 25 members and hope to grow to over 50 by the end of the spring semester.

The trip was funded by the school's student government. Students only had to pay for transportation in Dallas and food. Student government paid nearly $5,500 for four hotel rooms and 16 plane tickets.

Next for the prOWLers is Schnellenberger's radio show on Monday night and then the home football game season finale against rival Florida International on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Dolphin Stadium.

In the interest of full disclosure, Rick "$mitty" Smith is the Director of the prOWLers.
