It’s a new year, my fellow followers of The Schnell’s siren syntax. And whom (or is it who?) more than him (or is it he?) to give us our first breath of mirth on the first 24 of the spanking new annum.
Now that FAU’s season is over, the Pigskin Poet is left to muse over [...]

Now that Howard Schnellenberger’s 2008 football season is over, we’re soon going to have to bid a fond adieu to the ol’ quotemeister, his syntactic gloriosity and quaint folkisms. But this is to let you know I’m gonna drag it out as long as I can, which is as long as The Schnell makes public [...]

One can only assume the greatest bowl coach in college football history — Need I spell out his name, Howard Schnellenberger? — had his FAU Fighting Owls believe to the core of their souls that a victory over Central Michigan’s Chippewas in the Motor City Bowl would change their lives, his life and that of [...]

As fellow Schnell acolyte Eric Crawford wrote to me just after the final horn sounded in Motown, “And the Pipe adds another scalp to the Totem Pole of Tradition tonight in the Motor City Bowl.” Howard Schnellenberger remains undefeated as a head coach in bowl games after his feisty FAU Fighting Owls held off Central [...]

Just a photo of our boy as my Holiday gift to all my loyal readers who hang on The Schnell’s every syllable, who cherish his verbosity, who appreciate his gloriously syntaxic insight, who . . . oh words fail me.
Any man who can use Bar Mitzvah and pastor in the same sentence as metaphors for [...]

Howard Schnellenberger and his FAU Fighting Owls have arrived in Motown for their Friday night date with Central Michigan in the heralded Motor City Bowl. Paternal Schnell raved on religiously about his experience at the Boca Raton school and why it’s his most meaningful coaching stint:

Let’s just say, as Christmas approaches, our main man Howard Schnellenberger is not looking for mistletoe. As his FAU Fighting Owls were prepping for their trip up north to take on Central Michigan in the heralded and anxiously anticipated Motor City Bowl, The Schnell was dealt a bad blow by the school. Four starters can’t [...]

Undefeated as a head coach in bowl games — take that Joey the Vig — Howard Schnellenberger is fretting over the D of his FAU Fighting Owls: “We have not played really good defense in a while, more than a year, not the kind of defense that we should be playing around here. We have [...]
