McFooly's Article Today

[Christopher Moen]

I think the article focuses too much on the past and provides little insight on the actual future of the FCS. Go back three years ago, and the same article could have be written, except that JMU is not considered a top-tier team. There are going to be teams rising to be part of the cream of the crop, especially in Georgia Southern and App State's area. One of those teams will be Kennesaw State.

I also think teams will start rising elsewhere, especially in the Big Sky. Too many good teams with great tradition to be kept down.

With that said, NDSU will be ready for them.

People have short memories. 30 teams have made the quarterfinals since 2010.

I guess I didn't see anything in the artciel that was negative toward NDSU. I think NDSU is so dinunage right now that it skews the argument a bit. As was pointed out earlier, where was JMU 4-5 years ago? Kennesaw will likely come on strong. In reality you need to remove NDSU from the discussion if you want to talk about the strength of the FCS because trying to compare the rest to a team as dominate as the Bison is difficult at best. But that becomes difficult becomes removing the Bison leaves no clear best team each year. My point is without NDSU I think you would have seen 4-5 different champions the last 7 years. Which makes for more parity.

Just my two cents.

Who cares hes all about hot takes. Steven A McFooley. There are legitimately only 6 or 7 teams in the FBS who have a chance too.

Lol the CFP is dominated by the same 4-5 teams every year. Isn't anyone else sick of watching Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and another SEC team battle it out every year? Oooh maybe an Oklahoma or Washington sneaks in this year to get clobbered by Bama......color me excited.

[MankatoBison]

Mcfeely is right on. Theres literally only 2 teams who could win.

FBS has way more parity and its insane if you cant acknowledge that. heck there is even more parity in the G5 for goodness sake. Boise, Houston, UCF, FAU, Memphis, fresno state and San Diego state this year each have a shot at their "UCF style National Championship" haha.

He basically said that in the article.

[MankatoBison]

Also, he never said that we only succeed because others arent good. He just said there isn't parity. Like any. at all. NDSU and probably JMU are just light-years ahead of everyone else.

I hope the Montana Schools and Eastern and UNI can raise their game and bring some balance to the FCS

I did see that JMU just announced that they will be provided Cost-of-Attendance for all sports starting in 2019.

That helps out schools a lot in the recruiting game.
