FAU kicks off its 2018 football season this Saturday, Sept. 1, as the Owls defend their Conference USA title and 10-game winning streak. The team will travel to Oklahoma to face the Top 10-ranked Sooners at noon. I look forward to cheering on the team in person, along with many other Owl fans. For everyone who can’t make it to Oklahoma, the official watch party will take place at Biergarten in Boca Raton.

I encourage all students, staff, alumni and fans to show your spirit by wearing FAU gear on Friday, Aug. 31, in honor of College Colors Day. College Colors Day is the annual nationwide celebration of the traditions and spirit that embody the college experience. FAU’s annual College Colors Day celebration event will take place on Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on the Housing Lawn. Everyone is invited to stop by and grab a photo with Owlsley and enjoy free food, Coca-Cola brands sampling, giveaways and more.

Go Owls!
