August 24, 200421 yr MiRi and I went to a lunch with the Golden Panthers thing at FIU today and she won a pair of sideline passes for one game. Turns out they posted the picture and news on the official athletic site. Check it out: Director of Athletics Rick Mello with Miriam Fernandez, who won a sideline pass for two for the football season opener against Jacksonville, Thursday Sept. 2 Full Article: Athletics Host Free Lunch On Tuesday, the FIU athletic department hosted a free lunch with hot dogs, soft drinks and a pair of special door prizes. Sydene Hardware won a trip for two with the FIU team on an upcoming road trip this season. Miriam Fernandez won a sideline pass for the season opener against Jacksonville. The big winner was all the fans who came out for the free lunch. Over the last two days, word has continued to spread about the upcoming football season. Yesterday, members of the FIU football team scattered around University Park campus visiting the faculty and staff members with goodie bags filled with information about the upcoming season and a candy bar treat. The season opener against Jacksonville is now 10 days away and tickets are still available. For more information, contact the FIU Ticket Office toll free at (866) FIU-GAME or (305) 348-4263 in Miami-Dade County.

August 24, 200421 yr I have no idea what this is, but congrats Miri! It doesn't measure up to the luck she has in being able to attend a Marlins even with ME, but perhaps its close.
August 24, 200421 yr LOL It was cool. I had fun meeting the football players and Coach Strock. I can't wait to go to the game we're getting VIP tix for.
August 24, 200421 yr Is Josh Padrick the starting QB for FIU? If he is, I played little league baseball with him for several years. How cool is that.

August 25, 200421 yr Thank you. Hopefully, I won't get run down by big sweaty football players, though.
