I’m going to be honest.
I haven’t been doing a good job of keeping up with the FCS this year.
But rest assured, my good friend Joe has told me he’ll put the FCS into his model right after he puts FBS bowl projections in there, and I trust that my good friend Joe is working on these things and not just appeasing me when I text him once a week asking if Weber State is good.
Since we don’t know if Weber State is good, but we suspect that they are, we must ask:
Who do they play this week?
It turns out it’s Idaho, one of the more interesting teams to play against in NCAA Football ’10 on your PlayStation 2 when you’re living at home after college figuring out what to do with your life and you start a dynasty with Utah State because they’re the worst team in the game. Idaho’s the Vandals. That’s a funny thing to be named. They also play—or at least played in the game—in a dome with a funny name I don’t remember and big straight walls right behind the goalposts where most stadiums have seats (if memory serves me correctly).
Clearly, emotions are torn here. On the one hand, Idaho clearly has a strong nostalgic connection to this blogger’s heart. On the other, if Weber State wins they might party so hard they accidentally change their name to the Beekeepers overnight and are too embarrassed to admit they didn’t mean to do it.
We’ll see.
