Good morning. If you’re like most people, you’ve come to realize that risking bodily injury over a big-screen TV is, well, not smart. Instead, take some time to enjoy a few recent headlines from our athletic department that you may have missed during the hustle and bustle of making travel plans and finding those little fried things that go on top of the green bean casserole (Why are those always so hard to find?).

So get on your oversized sweats for post-Thanksgiving stretchiness or, hey, unbutton that top button. We’re not here to judge. Either way, sit back, relax, and catch up on some FAU fun.

What else can you find mixed into today’s Brew?
