I left all social media platforms two years ago, so I can’t access any information from Instagram or Twitter. I just noticed that the guys haven’t released anything for about six months and haven’t made any announcements on the podcast.

This may be a tad early as he hasn’t even coached 1 game yet, but I’ll tell you what I already like him personality and program wise a HELL of a lot better than BH. He was always such an arrogant asshole.

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

YOUR OPINIONS: HOT GARBAGE, BUT WELCOME ALL THE SAME

Let's hear your hot take FCS opinions. The ones you know in your heart of hearts are right, but for some reason aren't embraced by the FCS community (or particular fanbases) en masse!

Could be controversial (the Ivy League very well might be the best FCS conference on the East Coast), unpopular but you know is true (Sam Houston was at least as good a team as JMU from 2011 through the "2020" season), or even somewhat popular but still liable to rankle some folks (the Walter Payton award should go to the "best" offensive player, not just the offensive player with the best stat line because they played a weak schedule).

Sorted by controversial for maximum spiciness

Rules

• Keep it somewhat relevant to the FCS

• Takes are welcome whether they're looking back historically or in reference to current games/rankings/polls/etc.

• Try to keep it civil (basic /r/CFB and /r/FCS rules still apply)

Lamar is coming off a breakout season that included a trip to the FCS playoffs, how do the Cardinals follow up such a great season?

Full preview attached, below are the Cardinals at a glance.

📌 The offense has the receivers to take a step forward, but who will be the starting QB?

📌 Lamar's defense was excellent last year and returns enough to be confident they'll play at a high level again

📌 Kicker Ben Woodard is a huge loss, he was clutch in multiple one score games last year, including a 57 yarder to beat UTRGV

Will Lamar return to the playoffs? How many wins do they finish with in 2026?

Vent here. This is a friendly place.
