Fans depart for Detroit: Go, Fight, Win!

It was a familiar scene: charter buses rolling out from the R. Kirk Landon Fieldhouse headed for Detroit. This time, though, it was the FIU faithful rather than the football team.

Four charter buses filled with fired-up Panther fans pulled out Sunday morning around 9 a.m. headed for Ford Field and tonight’s Little Caesars Pizza Bowl. Game time: 8:30 p.m. on ESPN. Couldn’t make the trip? No problem: the S Sports Bar & Grill is hosting tonight’s official watch party. Address: 11995 S.W. 26th Street, Miami.

Thanks to photographer Sam Lewis for capturing these images of the scene this morning.
