Great content. The hosts are very knowledgeable for all teams in the FCS, not just a few teams or conferences. I enjoy listening!
Knowledgeable, unbiased. Great content. Like the passion. Fully invested in FCS football. I am interested in FCS recruiting also. Would like to see more players accept FCS scholarships over excess P5 PWO’s.
Sam does a great job covering the FCS. I especially enjoy the MVFC and Big Sky coverage.
