Pete, tried sending these two additional questions for Dr. Rosenberg, however I don't know if you received them, so here we go again:
1) Can the football stadium or better yet FIU sell the naming writes to the stadium ($$$$$$$)? Or is there a limitation because the building was state funded?
2) How expandable is the arena or would we have to build a new arena to meet the Div - IA standards for major programs in college hoops?
I ask because some of the SBC folks (UALR & N. Texas) have built beautiful arenas and our still looks Div II.
GO FIU!!!!
2010 Preview: Receivers & Tight Ends
We will have video of MC's first press conference of the 2010 season up later today on FIUSports.com. A couple of notes from the conference this morning: Jack Griffin will kick field goals for the Panthers. Tight end Jonathan Faucher is ready to go Saturday and will be key, not only on offense, ...
Pete, a couple of questions for Dr. Rosenberg:
1) Any chance for land expansion either Youth Fair grounds or Tamiami Park to help FIU's massive growth?
2) What is the projected student count for 5 & 10 yrs for FIU?
3) What is the anticipated number of students living on campus @ MMC in the next 3,5 & 10 yrs? How many more fraternity houses are planned?
4) Now that we have a medical school, what are your thoughts about having a pharmacy school? No public pharmacy school south of Gainesville (UF) or Tallahassee (FAMU).
5) When is phase III or final phase of the football program suppose to be completed?
If I think of any more questions, I'll post them. Thanks!!

Ask the Prez
Good Tuesday after Labor Day to you. We'll be back previewing the Panthers 2010 season later today here on The Prowl. But until we get to the FIU receivers and tight ends, here is your chance to ask FIU President Mark Rosenberg your questions regarding FIU Sports. We will be shooting a video in...
Pete, good to hear that you ran into Scotty Bryant! What's he up to? Did he graduate? Did he ever get an invite to any camp? CFL or Arena an option? That guy can play!!!!
GO FIU!!!!
Scrimmage No. 4
The 2010 season kicks off in nine days. Here are some observations from the latest Panthers scrimmage that took place Wednesday afternoon at FIU Stadium. It was a pretty good day for the FIU running game and for some of the newer Panthers. Aaron Davis is not new, but he also had a good scrimma...
Pete, excellent stuff!
GO FIU!!!
Lifting With The Sun Belt Champs
The road to defending the 2010 Sun Belt Conference Baseball championship began two days ago at 5:30 a.m. for the FIU Baseball team. In the darkness before the dawn of early Monday morning, we visited the Panthers in the FIU weight room for the first workout of the off-season. Don't worry if you...
When is the Sun Belt Anniversary Magazine coming out? This will include an article BY YOU on the history of FIU Football, correct? Let us know.

2010 Preview: Defensive Backs
With the sun still asleep early Monday morning, we went over to the R. Kirk Landon Fieldhouse and filmed FIU Baseball's first day of off-season conditioning video at 5:30 a.m. We'll have that up on The Prowl soon. In the video, we shot the defending Sun Belt Conference Baseball champions lifti...
Pete, don't know your restrictions, however did you get my question on Dasher? First, your thought? Second, will he be out a few games or all season? Thanks!
GO FIU!!!
Scrimmage No. 3
We're now less than two weeks away from the 2010 season opener vs. Rutgers at FIU Stadium. The Panthers took the field Friday night for the team's third scrimmage of camp and it was a pretty good defensive show. Here are some observations from under the Friday night lights at FIU Stadium. The F...
It seems all College Football forecast publications, EXCEPT for Sporting News have us at or near the bottom of the Sun Belt. It seems that Sporting News did some research just by their discussion and description of our program. Hey, they might of read the GPP during the Pete's days! Well they predicted MTSU would win the SBC w / FIU 2nd. SBC game of the year will be MTSU @ FIU for home finale!!!
Pete I've heard that Dasher @ MTSU may be suspended for the entire season due to legal problems, more specifically gambling. Any tidbits of info on this?
GO FIU!!!
First 2010 Home Game; Football Scrimmage No. 3
The first home game of any FIU team is tonight when All-Sun Belt midfielder April Perry (left) and the defending Sun Belt champion FIU women's soccer team take to the FIU pitch against Delaware State at 7 p.m. The Panthers defeated Florida Gulf Coast 1-0 late last night in Fort Myers. CLICK HE...

Welcome to The Prowl
Good Wednesday afternoon to you good people of FIU, Panther fans and everyone else checking out the debut of The Prowl -- the official FIU sports blog at FIUSports.com. This is Pete Pelegrin here. I'm now part of the FIU sports team and once again I consider it a privilege and an honor to bring...
Hey CC at least his English language is understandable, unlike some other head coach in this area.

Q&A w/ new OC Scott Satterfield
Driving down 9 hours from South Carolina on Friday morning to get to Miami by Friday night for some recruits visits, new FIU offensive coordinator Scott Satterfield kept his eyes on the road, but also took some time to talk with the GPP. GPP: What did you know about FIU before the Panthers and ...
Good to hear that the LB position is solid. Now we need beef upfront on the D-Line to make those LBs even better. Any JUCOs coming to the D-Line? Troy lives off these JUCO players and several may end up playing on Sundays!
Great story on a great guy! PM is the toughest & smartest player I've seen in a while. Good luck to you and thanks for wearing the blue & gold. Remember: "LET THEM KNOW WHEREVER YOU GO!", that you're a Golden Panther!
GO FIU!!!
FIU Recruiting Prowl: Linebackers
This was probably FIU's most talented defensive position last season and quite possibly this season as well. Plenty of Panthers linebackers return, but FIU does lose two stalwart linebackers. Let's take a look at the 2010 LBs. Before that, your OFFICIAL NATIONAL SIGNING DAY COUNTDOWN stands at:...
I too agree w / FIU Fanatic. Don't lower yourself to MIAcanes level.

The Next 70-Something Days
We're 99 days away from the season opener at Kansas on Aug. 30, but in the next 70-something days we'll have plenty of time to get to your requests. That 70-something days period is how much time before FIU begins fall football practice, around the second week of August. Before we get to what'...
Hey guys just bought my brick for the new stadium. I think the program is great and helps in the build-up of tradition at FIU. Remember all these other universities with great traditions had to start with someone deciding to make a difference. It might has well be us!

AlexFAU, you read my post all wrong! I was complimenting your programs improvement over the last 5 or 6 years. Read it again. Of course I know about your victories over us in football, I've been to every game we've played against FAU.
My point was exactly the fact that we regularly TROUNCED FAU for a long time in all sports before we both got football. Then FAU got football one year before FIU and not only improved in football, but you guys have improved in nearly all your teams.
You need to re-read the post. BTW talking about FIU fans being bad is like an alcoholic telling someone that they are drinking too much! Believe me; BOTH universities need MAJOR improvement in that area!
GO FIU!!!
Early Summer Vacation
We found out early last Friday morning that FIU baseball would start its summer vacation earlier than expected. After FIU lost to Florida Atlantic on Thursday night and Middle Tennessee beat Western Kentucky in the wee hours Friday morning after a 3 hour and 20 minute rain delay, the Golden Pan...
