This afternoon the FAU Owls got their asses kicked by seventh ranked Oklahoma 63-14

After the game, FAU alumni sent a mass text to their fans claiming victory despite the loss.

Here’s what the text read

Via FAU Owl Access

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

ā€œFAU just beat #7 ranked OU on their home field. Let’s celebrate by helping more athletes,ā€ the text read.

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

ā€œFAU Beats Oklahoma! Winning in Paradiseā€

FAU also had a post on their website that claimed they had won.

Pretty terrible day to be an FAU fan.
