Since the life is sucked out of every college football season thanks to perpetual ineptitude, we should adopt a brother program to keep us entertained. To avoid controversy, our adopted team must be a non-P5 that has shot of a 1 loss season and possible playoff invite. What you think? The constant dumpster fire is just beyond depressing.
Who do you have in mind?
I love Liberty University's program. I used to be a stony brook fan back in 2010's when they were in the big south conference, and that was where i discovered little liberty down in VA. watched them rise from small time FCS up through FBS independence, and now in C-USA. They are doing it right, and are putting unreal amounts of money into their program. new stadium, new facilities, excellent coaches (turner gill - hugh freeze - jamey chadwell). The national scene doesn't care for them yet, but they're on a mission to reach the P4 and it's getting hard to ignore them. They've beaten Virginia Tech, BYU, and Arkansas in the last 3 years, among other notable programs.
QB malik willis (transferred from Auburn --> Tennessee Titans) lit it up during covid 2020 year, which was when i started following them hard, as UConn skipped the year. and don't look now, but the flames are 4-0 and LIGHTING UP the scoreboard. IMO they will not be in C-USA long, before the AAC comes knocking. And as we know, the AAC is the final stop before the big stage.
i give them about 5 years to reach a big-time new years bowl, and 8-10 years till a power 4 invite comes (B12 or ACC). they're spending the money and getting the results to show for it, consistently.
