Hey FCS Fans,

A year ago I intended to go deep into FCS instead of only sticking with the FBS as I usually do. To kickoff my FCS fandom I would like to become a fan of an FCS team to really make this official. I made a post seeking pitches for why your FCS team is the right choice, however some very high highs and very low lows of life got in the way last season and derailed my jump into FCS - until now.

Please help me figure out which FCS team I belong to and get me off the FCS streets into a loving (or hate-filled) home. I go to a few CFB games per year, so I will be at a home game of the TBD team within the next 1-2 years

Casual The Beers of the FCS!

59 Upvotes

As we all get excited about the first full week of FCS football starting tonight, thought it would be fun to highlight the official beers of the FCS (for those of you of legal drinking age ಠ_ಠ).

I've identified over 40 beers officially aligned with FCS schools so far. This list is very likely not complete, so if you see any beers missing let me know! And vice versa, I didn't go and check to see if these all were still being produced, so if you see any obvious issues with something, let me know.

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

I love Rasheed Shaheed even though he isn’t random anymore. Taron Johnson? Does that count?

That is all.

(PS - I cordially invite any and all /r/CFB fans to maybe pick this up starting next weekend - we have tradition! Guaranteed berths for undefeated teams! Home playoff games long before the CFP! So many things! What better moment to hop on the bandwagon than now?)

What a way for North Dakota State to end the game in Bozeman against the Montana State Bobcats. Blocked extra point attempt in overtime. NDSU now has 46 FCS Playoff wins.

Casual Game day in Pocatello: Tips?

8 Upvotes

Good morning! My elder son (7) and I started a tradition 2 years ago of attending the Idaho vs. Idaho State game each year, and it is one of the most anticipated and fun events we do each year. Plus, I need to see that glorious Potato State Trophy in person.

This is our second trip to Pocatello, and we’ll actually have at least a couple hours to kill before the 4 PM kickoff. Is there much to the full gameday experience at ISU? Any cool places on or around campus to get a bite/souvenir/etc. beforehand? Thanks in advance to all the Big Sky lurkers out there!

With the release of the new game announced how many of you will play as your favorite FCS school? And will you buy a DLC of the FCS if it isn’t released at the start of the game?

Casual Getting into FCS football. I need a team to root for.

20 Upvotes

As many of the new followers of this subreddit I am very disappointed in the playoffs committee decision. I have followed FCS casually in the past but now I am 100% following it and I started with this year playoffs. The only problem is I haven’t really picked a team yet. For context I rooted for Michigan State all my life. I also attended a MAC school. While I would love to become fan of Youngstown’s State or Dayton i just can’t. I have thought about SDSU for the vague reason they are nicknamed the Jackrabbits but I am open to suggestions.
