A little competition has begun at the UP. For the entire semester, staff members will make their prediction on a game of the week hand-picked by the Sports editor, myself. We should have a lot of fun and a little razzing for the less fortunate. We hope you enjoy this little segment.

Florida Atlantic men’s soccer Vs. Florida International University

September 17, 2003

The men’s team will have their hands filled with the Panthers. Back-to-back trips to the NCAA tournament by FIU are how I will base this pick. 3-1 FIU- Corey Zimmer

I don’t know anything about soccer, but a buddy of mine just transferred from FAU to FIU, so we’ll win just to piss him off. FAU wins 4-2. – Benjamin Dyall

The Owls will pull away with a win against FAU. Their strong offense will lead the team to a victory. FAU 3-2- Kay Trudel

FAU will win because they too are more comfortable playing on home turf. FAU 2-1- Dave Ellis

FIU is coming off of a good season – while FAU is coming off of a sub-par season. FIU’s crowd travels with their team, and that’s the difference. FIU 2-1- Rick $mitty Smith
