One week from today, December 26th, seven years ago, FIU played in the first bowl game in program history.
In the 2010 season FIU won the Sun Belt Conference championship and was selected to play against Toledo in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl at Ford Field in Detroit.
The bowl game took place the day after Christmas and was the only football game played in America that day because the Monday Night Football game between the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles was snowed out in the City of Brotherly Love. The Panthers and the Rockets had an ESPN worldwide audience watching them.
