FCS schools beating FBS schools doesn't happen all that often. If so, please name 10 that happened all of last season.

I have no problem with SHSU staying FCS. It probably fits your program best.

I'm fine with Sam staying in FCS because of the budgetary requirements mainly. The cost of that move is astronomical, and I don't think the costs should be passed down to the students so that the school can be a punching bag.

You didn't answer the first part of my question. If FCS schools are always beating FBS schools in football please name a few from last season.

I know that Jacksonville State beat Ole Miss last year. That's just off the top of my head.

JJ was making it sound like it happened a lot. The University of South Dakota football team beat Minnesota. So, that is two times a FCS school beat a FBS school in football. Can someone name about 10 more last season?

So far, we've named 4. 4 in one year is a lot, to me at least.

It doesn't happen nearly enough, IMO, but here are last years upsets:

1) Ole Miss, SEC (Jacksonville State 49-48, 2 OT)
2) Kansas, Big 12 (NDSU 6-3)
3) Akron, Mid-American (Gardner-Webb 38-37, OT)
4) Minnesota, Big 10 (South Dakota 41-38)
5) #13 Virginia Tech, ACC (James Madison 21-16)
6) Ball State, Mid-American (Liberty 27-23)
7) San Jose State, WAC (UC-Davis 14-13)

Also, I watched first hand, Montana State beat the crap out of WSU on the road, and end up losing by a point in the waning minutes as WSU pulls out a last minute FG.

Does it happen all the time, nope, but once you get to be consistent, people notice.  They got paid big time bucks to go out there and add a win to their record.

      Financial advice from kamala harris

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up From the article: “As a parent, then as a homeowner, if you have some equity in your home, then you can say to your child, you know, ‘don’t take out the loan,’” she said. “‘I’ll take out some of the equity to help you pay for tuition so that you don’t graduate with extraordinary student loan debt, and so that when you graduate, you can do your dream job.’” Essentially, Harris suggested that parents give their kids a leg up in the world by being the ones to take out a loan instead. Except theirs would have much higher stakes than just needing to be paid back — it could mean losing their home. 🤦‍♂️

      State Tournament

      It has been frustrating seeing the lack of coverage from virtually EVERY media outlet.  We (Chester) are in the SE Texas coverage area.  There are no radio broadcast from our area, and Ch 12 is the only one that has even mentioned it.   I know I could have gotten donations to cover a SETX Sports broadcast.  Oh well, water under the bridge - we aren’t as big as Silsbee, WO-S or PN-G.
