Lmao, FAU sent a mass text claiming the Owls beat OU after a 63-14 blowout loss

Well, this is extremely awkward! On Saturday, FAU lost 63-14 to Oklahoma on the road. The game was a blowout pretty much throughout, and it’s obviously not the best start to Lane Kiffin’s second year in Boca Raton.

What made the blowout loss even worse for some Owl fans? The FAU Alumni Association accidentally sent out a text saying the Owls had upset the Sooners, and asked for money:

Here’s more from FAU Owl Access:

Shortly after FAU’s 63-14 loss at No. 7 Oklahoma on Saturday, a loss coach Lane Kiffin called “embarrassing,” Florida Atlantic’s Alumni Association sent a mass text proclaiming the Owls the victors.

“FAU just beat #7 ranked OU on their home field. Let’s celebrate by helping more athletes,” the text read.

A link then appeared taking followers to an FAU web page that read in part:

“FAU Beats Oklahoma! Winning in Paradise”

Let’s just say people were puzzled (some were mad!) when they received the text:

There are a couple possibilities as to what happened here — either this was a huge mistake by whoever runs sending out these text messages, or this was just a massive joke, perhaps. Maybe Kiffin sent it himself! We’ll see if the Alumni Association gives us any sort of explanation.

In the meantime, there will probably be some upset Owl fans for the text. The loss was certainly bad, but FAU’s worst loss in school history came in a 63-7 loss to Kansas State. The Owls face Air Force next Saturday at home.
