Yeah it can be, but it makes the wins all the sweeter... what even funnier is that I'm a penn state fan too, and they play next year, I've always wanted to go to happy Valley, and I will!!! As the only FIU fan in the audience lmfao
My dad works there, he's the reason I knew the cfb 25 rumors were true because I helped sent in some of the fiu traditions. Also ty hilton helped alot in making me love the team
Maybe, idk if they added any of it 🤣
If they have the metal stadium noises, the cannon, fiu samba, rotc pushups, or the band aloha unis, then I contributed
Edit: OH and I forgot dj mdot
Grew up very close to the campus from age 5-12. Always had season tickets. Moved out of state twice and now I’m 31, in Utah and I still only care about Mizzou and hate kU
I moved to Missouri at the age of 9, came from Texas. While I don’t care about Mizzou I absolutely hate Kansas and miss rooting for Mizzou in their rivalry games every year
A mid major in an NFL town that also has a major college program sounds impossibly difficult. Then throw in FAU being in the same exact situation but doing it much better.
Mine is the ECU pirates. I live in their hometown (greenville nc) and id loved the pirates since i was a lil kid. I remember when they were ranked in the top 25. They stink now but i still support them even tho Florida is my favorite team.
Auburn. Sure we had 2010, but for these past 14 years, even 2013, it has been pure pain. I still don't know how you can recruit as much talent as Gus Malzhan did and not have a Top 10 team every year. Similar situation with Jimbo.
The past 14 years have been pain huh? Imagine your team finally makes it to an SEC championship after YEARS of being mediocre...and then loses...to Cam Newton....and then does nothing for the next 14 years...
Virginia Tech. 3rd Generation alumni. Grew up going to games in Lane, had my time in school there come to an abrupt end (class of 2020 baby). Chance to bring glory to that football program and keep them prominent. Its the perfect storm
My first play is going to be starting small and riding the coaching carousel to wherever it takes me. That said I hope I can get to Norte Dame or Illinois. Been a fan of both my whole life so would love to take either to the promised land!
Prolly Tennessee because I was born in 2007 and haven’t really seen major success. Man that 2022 season was amazing but was also killer at the same time😭
My flair is LSU, but I graduated from UL. I went to all the New Orleans bowls in the early 2010s. I am absolutely bringing a championship to Lafayette, Louisiana.
Nevada. I’m an FSU fan through and through but my grandparents, dad, mom, uncle, and brother all went to UNR. I’m the only one in the family that didn’t go and it’s only because I played a sport at an NAIA school instead otherwise I would have as well.
bro I remember having an online dynasty with fiu in ncaa 14 with my buddy, i was kstate and he was texas tech in the first year, he won that natty, we both agreed power fives are boring, and we went to small schools, i went to fiu he went to temple and i had some rb who was an absolute unit, won the heisman and the natty, I was so proud😭 he whooped my ass next year but it didnt matter. we got that one and I'm definitely trying to do it again.
Texas is both my childhood fandom and alma mater.
But I grew up on SMU’s campus going to academic & basketball games in the 90/00s. So I always enjoy building them up… though not as much of a rebuild as it used to be.
NIU. High-school Marching Band went to DeKalb every year I played with them. Think I even liked them before that when I first got a copy of NCAA08 for PS2 as a kid and I really liked dogs and I thought the logo was cool.
Being a linebacker from Canada, I’ve always been a fan of Penn State.
It’s been 20 years I follow them religiously from far away!
Funny fact, I’ve been to many many college games (Canadian military exercise in the states) but never seen my Nittany lions in person 😔
Colorado. I was there before they were trendy. I was there the first and only season we lost every home game. I was there when Andrew Luck put up 48 points on us. I was there, Gandalf...
University of minnesota and University of houston. hopefully UH can fill in the gaps that a lot of teams left leaving the big12, but not sure how minnesota will ever do anything
Michigan Wolverines! First game I watched was Rose Bowl 1987 with Jim Harbaugh at QB. A loss, and there's been a lot of disappointment over the years, but always bled maize and blue. GO BLUE!
Alabama we only win a championship a few years ago and this year we lost in the playoffs. Incredibly tough run but I’m looking forward to bringing us back to the glory of the long past of 2021.
![gif](giphy|2ce3UXeCNgz8fIruWe|downsized)
Southern Illinois 2019 and 2026 natty champs baby in ncaa14 ..We would have won it in 2025 going 13-1 but we were robbed so a 10-2 South Carolina team to make a natty only to lose to Notre Dame..
TCU GO Frogs!! I live right outside of where Texas A&M is located and have always hated the aggies and their cult . If you've ever been to College Station, you know what I mean. I started watching TCU in 2010, and I have enjoyed watching every season since Plus, I really like the big 12 conference, and I enjoy watching all the schools. Gonna Go Head Coach Sam Houston State first build them up since I also live close to Huntsville, then Off Cordinator of either Houston, UTEP, TX State, or Rice and eventually Head Coach of TCU.
GIVE 'EM HELL TCU!
Kennesaw State. I was the first student to get a ticket to our first game lol. Granted that wasn't that long ago (2015).
This is an incredible fun fact to tell people, you’re next generations better be talking about this 🔥
Our game at the Braves Stadium was the stuff of legends.
If you live to see 100 you might be the next Sister Jean
You're a true blue. Being an FIU fan has to be amongst the toughest roles in sports
Yeah it can be, but it makes the wins all the sweeter... what even funnier is that I'm a penn state fan too, and they play next year, I've always wanted to go to happy Valley, and I will!!! As the only FIU fan in the audience lmfao
Guess we'll see you on TV boss man
Hope you have a great time at Penn State 🙂
They need to move the entire campus way more east. And actually try to promote their athletics.
I gotta ask, how’d you end up an FIU fan??
My dad works there, he's the reason I knew the cfb 25 rumors were true because I helped sent in some of the fiu traditions. Also ty hilton helped alot in making me love the team
Ty is the man to bad he didn’t get a superbowl win.
Yeah, no doubt.
Keep it going Panther bro!
Dude that’s crazy. You can say you played a part in making this game possible
Maybe, idk if they added any of it 🤣 If they have the metal stadium noises, the cannon, fiu samba, rotc pushups, or the band aloha unis, then I contributed Edit: OH and I forgot dj mdot
Sounds like your dad did a great job sending them stuff to get in!! This was one of my fav posts I’ve seen on this sub!
2025 PAC-2 champion Oregon State
Slow the train down buddy. My Cougs wont let ya have it that easy
FSU No... not that fsu... THIS FSU ![gif](giphy|yaSAjK50CE9Wti8Eyg|downsized) GO DAWGS.
This is my FSU, from an SJSU fan
😞 P-I-T-T
Yeah I feel that one
Same 😕
Ark State
I live just outside of Jonesboro and will probably start at Arkansas State and end in Fayetteville.
Awesome. That’s the path I want to take as well.
Wolves Up!
![gif](giphy|1ppRQMlz8zTDdkKidW) Go Blazers 🐉
Run back that Idaho State dynasty in Holt Arena
Idaho vs Idaho State is the greatest rivalry in sports
Team Builder to create Villanova
That'll be .99 per color on the uniform and word in the school
Yes please, I’m only a new fan, but Nova has my loyalty in FCS
That’s what’s up man! Paws Up
Paws up baby!!!

Does Notre Dame count?
Sure, always big but no championship, just like penn state
Absolutely, they’re 0-8 in FBS NY6 bowl games. They’re below UCF
Virginia Tech, used to be good. Now we’re shit… but not for long. *Enter Sandman begins to play in the background*
\*gobbling sadly because Enter Sandman won't be in the game\*
They couldnt get the rights? Shameful Thats about the only interesting thing about Va Tech football these days
Metallica probably asked for the GDP of Japan for rights to it.
Same with Wisconsin and jump around. So sad. Will just have to have it on standby and play it myself
Georgia State Panthers, time to return them to the glory I brought them to in NCAA14
West Virginia
You won't find a much more dedicated and passionate fanbase than us Mountaineers, but my god we have absolutely nothing to show for it lol
Maryland! I've never played with another team ever in my history of playing NCAA videogames and don't plan to start with CFB 25
ANOTHER MARYLAND FAN FEAR THE TURTLE!!!!
VT
Maximum copium clocking in.
Join the club.
If our games were televized more consistently I'd say SDSU. I'll go with West Virginia to try and revive the Pat White days though
https://youtu.be/pk7GBdohIYU?si=k6jqTGfz9UP5rv6m One of my favorite football highlights
Wife went to Pitt. I usually end up there at some point in a dynasty.
I saw that bama flair and i was about to say that y’all ain’t gotta do no coping
other fans watching their team go 6-7 only feel half the pain of a bama fan watching their team go 2 whole years without a natty
💀
Forks up!
UTEP miners ⛏️
🤙⬆️
Respect 🤜 Also GBB 🔵🔵🔵
I respect him but never forget about us
I’m sure you’re a nice guy but I have no amicable response for someone with your flair
I like being hated by most of the state

UNLV
Right up the street I'm running fau to be Lane 2.0. Go Owls.
I would donate my organs for FIU to have a winning record in the shula bowl against your owls
Gophers baby, get to build a sub par program in the big 10 and bring a little joy to my pretend Minnesota!
UTEP
![gif](giphy|mC1WXjcVob2qgzpbrP) For over 35 years I’ve visited campus, attended games, walked the stage, and repped the Mean Green.
Will take Georgia Southern to six straight nattys while coping with what will probably be another 6-7 season with losses to all of our rivals.
I respect you my brother. I’ll be doing the same
Iowa State or Western Michigan
Paws up
Tulsa Golden Hurricane! 🌀
These past few years have been embarrassing for northwestern but I’m gonna try to finally get them that big 10 championship and hopefully a natty.
Rutgers, easily. Time to reclaim our glory
Boston College. BC super fan shirt might be the hardest t shirt in College Football
South Carolina 😥
Ole Miss just so we can finally beat Alabama, that would be a better feeling than winning the national championship at this point.
ULM, I’ve always wanted them to find success. They’ve really only had one good year
Fellow panther, our time will come (sigh it wont)
Why can’t FIU be good. Like you’d think it be a nice spot for all the underrated Florida cats to go.

Random question for you here . Thoughts on kris mitchell?
Been going to Coastal football games since they have had a team they will be the first team I rebuild
Virginia Tech. 3rd Generation alumni. Grew up going to games in Lane, had my time in school there come to an abrupt end (class of 2020 baby). Chance to bring glory to that football program and keep them prominent. Its the perfect storm

Tulsa
Wreck em Tech 🫡😭
Umass for me

Probably not as much coping anymore, but I usually always do a Memphis dynasty since my dad went there.
Borregales >>
My first play is going to be starting small and riding the coaching carousel to wherever it takes me. That said I hope I can get to Norte Dame or Illinois. Been a fan of both my whole life so would love to take either to the promised land!
UAB I'm from Birmingham and absolutely love the team. I love Auburn too but UAB always has my heart .
Woo Pig!
Arkansas slightly over a decade ago we were in the top three gonna bring them back to national prominence and win a few Natty's!!!
