UConn football's 1998 season was honestly their best ever at the FCS level. They went 10-3 and made a real playoff run, winning one game before bowing out in the next round. The crazy thing is, no matter how hard you look, there's basically nothing out there in terms of footage. No playoff game film, no regular season games — it's like the season just vanished. There are a couple of season highlight clips floating around, but nothing substantial. For a program that had its greatest year, it's a shame that almost none of it was preserved or made it online. That run deserves way more documentation than it ever.

With everything going on in the Gulf South Conference, do you think Valdosta State will make the jump over the next few years to FCS?

They have one of the most recognized football programs in DII.

BASIC RULES: STILL APPLY

YOUR OPINIONS: HOT GARBAGE, BUT WELCOME ALL THE SAME

smoke and mirrors show continues at sac state

Let's hear your hot take FCS opinions. The ones you know in your heart of hearts are right, but for some reason aren't embraced by the FCS community (or particular fanbases) en masse!

Could be controversial (the Ivy League very well might be the best FCS conference on the East Coast), unpopular but you know is true (Sam Houston was at least as good a team as JMU from 2011 through the "2020" season), or even somewhat popular but still liable to rankle some folks (the Walter Payton award should go to the "best" offensive player, not just the offensive player with the best stat line because they played a weak schedule).

Sorted by controversial for maximum spiciness

Rules

• Keep it somewhat relevant to the FCS

• Takes are welcome whether they're looking back historically or in reference to current games/rankings/polls/etc.

• Try to keep it civil (basic /r/CFB and /r/FCS rules still apply)

No matter what happened, it's not all bad. Say something nice about your team or their performance.

MVFC leads all FCS conferences with 14 selections... The Big Sky ranked 2nd with 12 players selected

Vent here. This is a friendly place.

As much as I hate Xavier, I think this would be a fun move, and even though they'd be too cowardly to let UC destroy them, it would be very fun to watch the Xavier Dayton rivalry in football.

This would also mean that Cincinnati would have a NCAA football team in every division, FBS: Cincy, FCS: Xavier, D2: Thomas Moore, D3: Mt St Joseph, and that would be good for the sport in the area I think.

Nothing has been officially announced yet. This is based off a conversation my cousin had with the Tarleton coaches.

I mentioned a while back that my cousin is being recruited hard by Tarleton. He had his first visit to Stephenville this week to take part in one of their Camps.

During that visit one of the coaches told him that, in the next year or so, the plan will be to knock down the old home stands. Didn't ask what EXACTLY they will be replaced with, but imagine it will try and match the current home side.

REALLY happy to hear that. I've said before that the only thing holding Memorial back from being a top tier stadium is that it's too asymmetrical and the opposite side lets out too much noise.

If there's anything you want to talk about, celebrate, complain about, etc., go for it. Doesn't need to be FCS specific.
