We’re about 2 news cycles away from Sac State launching a meme coin to fund their “FBS transition”

Reminder: the CFP is run by an LLC and not the NCAA. While the NCAA recognizes the winner of the CFP as an FBS national champion, you can be an FBS champ without even playing in it. The only real NCAA D1 Football Champion comes from their tournament: the Montana State Bobcats!

If Cignetti learned anything from his time in the FCS, it’s that if you have the lead it’s best that you secure the win with an interception! youtu.be/dYtSeOsZsu4?...

If Indiana wins tonight, Curt Cignetti will have more national titles than Bobby Hauck. That actually reads weird thinking about it.

The D1 National Championship game happened two weeks ago. But there is a postseason bowl game tonight!

Wait, they have an HBCU doing “America the Beautiful” and not “Lift Every Voice and Sing”?

You know what? It’s the offseason already so screw it. Here’s another game thread for the CFP since the @redditcfb.com quarterly threads are going to be bombarded and might be hard to follow. www.reddit.com/r/fcs/s/sBwT...

If Curt Cignetti wins his first National Championship tonight, his agents oughta demand an addendum to his contract: Indiana will be required to schedule at least one team a season coached by Matt Entz or KC Keeler as long as they’re HCs in D1. His two white whales.

Awesome to see MSU continuing to honor Native American heritage throughout the season. Whether today at the National Championship celebration, or earlier with the dope MSU American Indian Council’s logo helmets, major love!

Tarleton wants to be thought of as one of the big boys. But after last year’s playoff fizzle, their scheduling is saying otherwise. Instead of toughening up, their FCS OOC opponents have averaged fewer than 5 wins over the last two seasons. Sure, wins are wins. But c’mon now.

Best thing the NCAA does is not automatically accepting that the private CFP as the official designator. Now whether because they don’t allow every worthy program access (see 08 Utah or 17 UCF) or just don’t get their beaks wet, that’s different. Congrats to the 25 FBS National Champion Hoosiers!

Reminder for suburb/exurb types: If there are forests, crop fields, and/or strip mall sprawl between Small Town X and City Y, residents of Small Town X don't get to say that they're residents of City Y. Only residents of City Y get to say they are, w/ border towns iffy at best.

What we’re learning is, rather than jumping to a known champion, Cignetti should’ve never left Elon for JMU and he’d already have a national championship.

In 2021, #1 Indiana’s Cignetti coached vs 5-6 Temple’s Keeler. Down 24-3 at half, Keeler out-coaches Cignetti and KC’s team wins 38-35. Keeler goes on to win his 2nd national title. Cignetti’s 2nd of 3 losses to D1 Champs in 3 years. The other 2? Both 9-4 Fresno State’s Entz.

The longer this Indiana thing goes, the more confused it starts getting that Cignetti’s JMU—undoubtably National Champions in both 2019 and 2021—lost to Matt Entz’s NDSU both seasons. And heck, they very well could’ve won it 2021S had Keeler not out coached him the 2nd half.

Final /r/FCS poll results! www.reddit.com/r/fcs/s/1WDR...

Illinois State had an incredible season that ended up just short of the FCS Championship. They are the first college football team to play 17+ games since the 19th century.

You know what’s necessary but hasn’t been expressed enough just yet? Appreciation for all of the FCS fans! From Nashville to the Magic City Classic, y’all have shown up. Twitter, BlueSky, and Reddit commentary through the season has been exceptional. FCS fans, thank you all!

Oh crud, we’re in the, “Near every account we follow has turned to basketball.” season, haven’t we?

FOLKS!!! Check out what @artbutmakeitsports.bsky.social did!

Back in the day companies didn’t need to rely on AI to sell their male enhancement pills. They did it with good ol’ American conspiracy, fraud, and money laundering.

FTG GCG going through the crowd lol also our banner

MONTANA STATE ARE YOUR 2025 NATIONAL CHAMPIONS!

GOOD LORD

How are the Cats struggling this much with noise?!?

What could a football fan ask for if not for this?

Over/under another ai generic viagra ad in the next two minutes?

Never mind our previous praise of @espn.com WTF ARE THESE AI GENERIC VIAGRA ADS?

Minute-long AI generic Viagra ads during this game is insane

TELL YOUR FRIENDS TO OPEN THEIR ESPN APP PHONE OR TV, THEY’LL FIND THE GAME

Look, we know a ton of our FBS fan friends are pissed off at them. But have to give props to @espn.com for this year’s natty production. Also, if you follow us and aren’t watching, get off twitter and come join the second half! And tell your FBS friends; they’ll love it, promise.

🤬 🤣

Vigen chewing out the team after the Yale game seems to have been a genuine “I’m not going to lose this f’ing title again” Sidenote: was Yale just really good?

Here’s that FCS song ESPN is using.

This Cat crowd looks and sounds impressive on TV

Less than an hour folks!

Nashville Rhyme: Brock Spack could eat no mac, Vigen could eat no cheese. And so between them both, Nosh Kraft Dinner with ease. Spack eats all the cheese, Brent eats all the macs. Fans, easier to please: Title not Bison-Jacks!

Alright FCS fans, who wins tonight: Montana State or Illinois State?

2024 FCS Champion: NDSU 2025 playoffs: eliminated in second round after first round bye 2024 FBS Champion: Ohio State 2025 playoffs: eliminated in second round after first round bye

Happy birthday 133th birthday to HBCU football! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1892_Bi...

There are college football fans who genuinely believe Clemson is more exciting to watch than Western Carolina.

Tis' the season!

Bill Connelly will be in Nashville for the only real D1 National Championship in football! Will you?!?

MSU head to Nashville the favorites, no question. But ISU beat the unanimous #1 team (who would still be favored vs the Cats) on the road. The Redbirds have only lost once this season on the road: a respectable 35-3 showing vs the 8th ranked FBS CFP team. Worth keeping in mind.

Ivies in the playoffs. A battle of droughts in *Nashville* for the title. One team seeking its 1st since joining in 82, a last-4-in in a 24 team bracket. The other seeking its 1st since 84. Don’t know how you can be anything but excited for the future of the FCS, no matter what.

#2 Montana State vs unseeded Illinois State for the national title in Nashville Can the road warriors keep it going with a 5th win away from Normal this postseason?
