If you didnt realize,the title is sarcasm. I refuse to do the little, capatilize every other letter to convey sarcasm,thing. I just heard that tomorrow is the nwstrn state demons last game of the season. I guess they will get some time off and then start "summer training camp " type practice.

What an absolute dud spring football was.

FCS is still D1 scholarship athletes. Many driven and competitive. Some hoping to get looked at by NFL scouts. They wanted to play some sort of season.

What's it to you?

Yeah, explaining that you are being sarcastic is way cooler.

Im glad they got to play but I didn't watch one snap. Seems like spring football just ain't it. Every chance at it the last couple of years, college and professional, has failed miserably

You need to get a life. What an unnecessarily douchebag post. No one forced you to watch or care.

As an SLU alum and fan, I was very glad I got to see them play football, even if only 7 games. It benefitted getting real reps in, implementing scheme, and getting young guys experience before a full season in the fall, and no one lost a year of eligibility.

Sorry NWSU blows, but frick off with your bullshite post.

I get it. I thought I would stream some Nicholls games to watch like I had in the past, and especially since it wouldn't conflict with watching any FBS games of interest.

But college baseball season started not long after, and since I like watching that sport as well, opted for that instead.

But it's not like there was much of a choice after FCS conferences were cancelling the Fall season, and it's good players got a Spring season in. I'd feel bad for athletes who were graduating and ready to move on to the professional workforce if they didn't get a final season.

At least they are all safer after the massive Covid outbreaks and multiple deaths due to the dumb schools who played in the fall

A couple of conferences, and sometimes not even the whole conference, was doing it since they didn't play in the fall. This fall everything is back to normal.

I'm an alum and fan of NSU Demons. Spring football season would have been a lot more fun if we didn't suck like we do at everything.

I don’t disagree that from a business standpoint, spring football doesn’t seem to work.

However, as a fan, I cannot fathom why anyone would complain about it. It’s football on the TV, you can choose to watch it or not. Beats the alternative of not even having the option to watch any

Good for you for refusing to engage in that nonsense, but if you have to explain your sarcasm then you aren't doing it right.

Yeah, other than the occasional SWAC game featuring Jackson St, ESPN parked the games behind a paywall.

Only on tigerdroppings do you get all downvotes after being agreed with.

I would have watched the games but they didnt even try to promote it.

If you weren't playing deions team ,on deions team,or in deions roster ,you may as well not exist to espn.

Are they even doing the playoffs?

Oh and,Melvin, it's a lot easier saying the word "sarcasm" instead of having to wRiTe LiKe tHiS on a phone. shite takes forever.

They are, but it’s a scaled-down field of 16 vs the normal 24. And, for some stupid reason, the NCAA was going to give the MEAC an auto-bid with only 3 teams competing this spring....but the MEAC informed the NCAA they wouldn’t meet the requirement that each of the teams play each other once. The Howard/SC State game was called off due to restrictions put in place by the District of Columbia regarding travel to and from South Carolina.
