That crap team in Oxford wins a play in game against a team missing their best player, finished the year 1-6 in their last 7 games, and has beaten one team with a winning record since January 24th. And now everyone wants to model their program after them. Haha. Geez





There are two things people keep ignoring. First, it wouldn’t be the FCS anymore. No matter what, you’re not lining up against Elon or Gardner-Webb every week. The level of competition across the board would be far better and far more even. Second, people can say whatever they want, but I know this was true for Marshall at the very least, it was a lot more exciting when the team was playing for national championships every year. Sellout crowds in December. Bringing home titles. Playing games that actually meant something. And honestly, App State is the same way. There were some exciting years when we first moved to the FBS, but those days are mostly behind us. Now what’s left is occasionally chasing a conference title and hoping you have enough pieces that stay to get to a bowl game. But college football should be more than that. There should be more to these programs than just hoping for a decent bowl in early December. A lot of people think stepping away from the current FBS structure would be a downgrade. In reality, it might be the best decision programs like ours could make. We’ve learned the hard way that the grass isn’t always greener. And when the sport is as broken and corrupted as college football is right now, with the money, the transfer portal chaos, and the playoff system stacked for the biggest brands, it’s almost impossible for schools like ours to compete consistently. It’s one of the most unfair systems in sports today. But the truth is, we don’t have to accept it. There’s nothing stopping the Group of 6 programs from building something of their own,something competitive, meaningful, and built around programs that actually belong together. If that ever happened, it wouldn’t be a downgrade. It would be a complete reset. And it could create the most exciting and balanced version of college football we’ve seen in years. Honestly, I hope it happens. It would revolutionize programs like Marshall and App.
