Never!!!!

Pretty sure even UNA hasn't suffered that, and we're a Division II team.

Wait a sec, I'll call my friend who is a K-State fan, maybe he has an answer.

Total Lion droppings! It took less time than to write this post that your crappy school lost at home to Delta State on 10-13-11 30-24. I never even knew that there was a school named Delta State before your post.

Jimbo Fisher Says FCS Games Are "Good for College Football" Cuz It's David vs. Goliath

Quoting from ESPN:

Swofford said it would be up to individual institutions to determine if it wanted to schedule future games against Football Championship Subdivision opponents.

"It's good for college football," said Fisher, whose Seminoles play The Citadel on Sept. 6. "It gives you David and Goliath."

Well considering those FCS teams rely on the money paid to them it is somewhat necessary to have these games. I do like seeing games like Eastern Washington, James Madison, Appalachian State, and so on. His point is not a good one though. It is david vs goliath, but it is also almost always a tune up game to fill the schedule with a home game.

Since when are schools responsible for the fiscal status of schools not only not in their conference but most of the time not in their state? Teams play lesser teams to work the kinks out or play a decent team from another conference. Nothing wrong with playing a lesser team with half your recruiting budget but hopfully your AD and coach do thow in a decent one also who could actually give you a little bit of a game. But its cowardly to play Eastern texas, North Missouri,Southwest florida trucking school every year sometimes two of these a year. You're not doing it out of the goodness of your heart.

Well normally besides 2 years ago they only play one. And we usually DO schedule only 1 FCS teams. Here is a list of the last 10 years.

2013 Bethune-Cookman
2012 Murray State and Savannah State(Savannah State was to replace WVU after contacting 80 FBS teams to fill the spot, but nobody wanted a 1 and done)
2011 Charleston Southern
2010 Samford
2009 Jacksonville State
2008 UT-Chattanooga and Western Carolina. Western Carolina was a fill in for a cancellation.
2007 None
2006 None
2005 Citadel
2004 None

9 teams over 10 yrs. About 1 per year.

I am not saying that it is right to fill the OOC schedule with them, but those schools do not make enough money to I think FSU usually does an outstanding job of not scheduling just fluff. Colorado, ND, Oklahoma, UF, MIami(Before Conference switching), BYU, and just about anyone else that would play them. FSU historically has always done well scheduling OOC.

Nah. He is getting paid SEC money now and got his indoor practice facility. Unless the bottom starts to fall out he is there for a while. But I do get your joke.

Nah he had offers and turned them down I think he likes having the easier path and he kinda proved it last year. FSU in the SEC West last year does not win the National Championship and probably has two losses.
