NDSU is playing today for their like “23rd in a row” National Championships today!

As a fan of FCS football, I appreciate what they have done. My team (McNeese) has only played for it all twice and lost, with both games in Chattanooga. Since it’s been moved to Frisco, the only SLC team to “appear” has been Sam Houston, but NDSU was there as well!

 

Good luck and Hook’em at 11:00!

Had some beers with some Bison fans at my local watering hole yesterday. 24 degree wind chill at game time so they should feel right at home.

I stopped going to Frisco after they beat Towson.

Games on ABC at 11AM, should be a hell of a game leading up to the Vikings game

Looks like it’s gonna stop snowing just in time for kickoff.

Today I learned the location in Texas City isn’t the only Tight Ends in Texas. Yeah I bet they don’t have a bar like that in North Dakota

JMU gets a TD on the 1st drive of the game. It’s early though folks.

Gaggle of Bison at Didi’s Downtown yesterday. Chef/owner is married to a Fargo girl.

My parents are Sam grads. It was like their Rose Bowl. Unfortunately they had no Vince

And there is your answer to JMU’s first drive

Sam was a hell of a team under Willie Fritz!

More replay ref stupidity.  I agree it was short, but a couple of inches short, not a half yard.  What the hell?

until they faced NDSU lol.

 

fun start so far. Worried about NDSUs defense, they looked gashed and moved on easily

MNLonghorn - is the stripe on NDSU’s helmet a symbol for wheat? Always wondered what it stood for.

Any guess why JMU #3 fair caught that kickoff at the 9 with nobody around him?

 

Some FCS rule?

 

NM- I see ball came out to 25.

yea, harvest helmets. usually wear them on special occasions 

fuck that was an awesome play. Even fooled the camera man enough to zoom out and figure out who the fuck had it lol

 

14-7 good guys

JMU is killing themselves with penalties on defense.

Trey Lance could play in the FCS.

What a hot take.

Perfect timing, perfect call, & perfect results!

Everyone on that field could play in FBS.  Frankly, they probably would be an upgrade for half the FBS.

Congratulations MNLonghorns!!! Sit back and enjoy the streak while it lasts (decade).

Somebody will eventually end your Southern Home (Frisco) streak - hopefully McNeese!

  • Author

That’s why their due! JK!
My decade in Lake Charles (95-05) they were pretty dominate for FCS. Since then, not so much - putting it nicely!

I was on a tiny flight on Thurs from small town Virginia to DFW and kept seeing JMU on every 3rd passenger. Thought it was a basketball game vs SMU lol

At least in FCS, the true champion is played on the field! All divisions, except for for FBS have playoffs for the true champion.

One day, maybe the Bowl season can be used as seeding into the playoffs and a true champion, besides just the four, which at least is something closer to what it should be. Maybe an 8 or even 16 team bracket, instead of the bowls, would be best.

Asking because I don’t know...

Do the FCS playoffs involve a beauty pageant/rankings, or do they only take conference champions?

  • Author

Top four seeds get a bye, then the other 20 play into the brackets for seedings after that. The top seeded teams host through the semis, then the championship is in Frisco. That is how the FCS does it!

they seed 8 teams, they get a bye.

 

24 teams make it, so 8 games on weekend after thanksgiving. after the 8 seeded teams who is picked by a committee of AD's, conference reps...then they come up with the bracket.

 

Not sure how many FCS conferences there are. those champs get automatic bids but arent necessarily guaranteed a seed/bye. After that they try to avoid regular season rematches(as much as possible) in the bracket...but if the NCAA can get by with sending say SDSU to NDSU for a cheap bus ride...theyll do anything possible to achieve that. so theres some regionalization for some of these games

I was w9ndeting where they were going.  I passed the team buses and police escort on the toll road on my way to dinner.

Hot take.  I'm surprised no one has thought of this before.
