Welcome to the dark side Notre Dame -- first FCS opponent

[PeoplesChicken]

I heard ND wanted to get Mercer but they play Alabama twice in '23

TSU is awful. I know FCS teams beat P5 teams quite frequently, but they suck and we will name the score against them. If we want to win 100-0 we will

This ^^

TSU has historically been very very bad. As a comparison, Tenn St has been much worse a FCS team than Vandy has been a FBS team. So y'all show a little mercy!

Interesting fact, Tennessee State's coach is Eddie George. I imagine that is why they are getting attention right now. The guy is well-loved in Middle Tennessee.

lol @the Domers and UCLA.

You know I was pretty proud of the fact that they were one of the very few schools that never played an FCS school. So much for that. Unless they play it as a 13th data point (to shut people up about that talking point) I don’t like the idea. I mean how much does that really help recruiting? Sounds more like Marcus throwing his buddy Eddie George a bone.

Yeah I can't ever remember an easier start to a schedule. Navy, FCS, MAC opponents is pretty bad.

If you’re going to do this I’d rather get Navy out of the way early. You don’t have to waste practice time on the triple option again that year.

And save some DL's/LB's knees from the cut-blocking in that Navy offense.
