What FCS schools are represented at your place of work?
What FCS schools are represented at your place of work?
I was just thinking about who I might give or receive shit from this season at the office and started compiling a mental list. We're dominated mostly by Clemson and South Carolina grads here, but he have a sprinkling of FCS:
ASU - me and one other guy - I asked the other guy about the UTC/ASU game and he said he watched it even though it hasn't happened yet (not as big a fan as he'd like to make himself out to be.....)
Delaware - this guy asks me every year whether ASU and Delaware have played yet during the season - not a clue about CAA/SoCon
UTC - our Sr. VP of Marketing not 30 ft. from me - loves to bet on anything, but he rarely talks about UTC football - he did ask me if I was going to the game, so he's at least coherent enough to know they're playing.
Furman - Forgot about this guy - he just started in internal audit, so I don't talk to him unless I have to We've spoken briefly, but I don't think he's much of a football guy.
Coastal - my boss has a son who's on the offensive line there - I think he was redshirted last season - he's 6' 4" 320. My boss is a Radford grad, so he doesn't care about his alma mater.
Carson-Newman - not FCS, but you don't see many of these folks around - I don't think he follows them much even though they play at a high level in their division
Basically, I'm on my own when it comes to actually caring about what happens in FCS around here. How about you?

Our corporate controller (who I functionally report to) is a William and Mary grad. She actually follows the Tribe's sports teams and is fairly knowledgeable about the CAA.
That's the only FCS connection at work that I am aware of.

70 JMU'ers and 5 ODU'ers. Other than JMU I will not hire anyone from any other school except ODU, cuz we need a few secretaries, janitors and the like.
Re: What FCS schools are represented at your place of work?
Just one, an Army Lt Col who graduated from App St in the late 80s. He is an avid App St football fan. We talk FCS on a weekly basis.
For whatever reason, our building is full of engineers from Penn State, so the two of us are on an island football-wise.
There is also real satisfaction here when Delaware beats Navy because our XO is Navy (academy grad) and there are several Navy officers and enlisted in the building.

Job 1:
Well, it's for UNI so everyone is UNI. However, the manager is from Montana and is a Montana fan...I think she may have actually worked for Montana at one point to be honest.
Job 2 - Internship:
UNI x4
Drake x1
There may be more, i don't know some people my branch very well yet.
Job 3:
None other than UNI.

Re: What FCS schools are represented at your place of work?
Other than me? NOBODY Half the people here don't know FBS let alone FCS. On top of the I'd say the majority only know the Gators.

That's the same with me. They may have graduated from UNI, but they are Hawkeye fans that honestly don't know jack shit about UNI.tampajag wrote:Other than me? NOBODY Half the people here don't know FBS let alone FCS. On top of the I'd say the majority only know the Gators.

Delaware- We have about a million UD people here. There is a reason it's often called the University of SE PA.
Northeastern- We have a guy who played B-ball there. He like 6' 9" and 350 lbs.
Colgate- This guy wears girls jeans and is a giant dork. Very smart guy however.
Fordham- My boss is a Fordham grad. I wont even get started on him.
Coastal Carolina- We hired a new guy from here and he may be the biggest douche I have ever met in my life. The dude is 5' 3" and built like a marshmellow. He talks like a woman. Even worse he thinks he knows absolutely everything about the job and will be tops on the team in no time. I am going to punch him in the face and hope I get fired.
Only two guys actually care about FCS. One Delaware guy who played for the hens in the 70's, and another guy who played for Marshall in the 80's when they were I-AA.

Everyone at work is a Griz fan.
However, the guy who plays tuba in the local symphony is an App State grad and was in the marching band there.

Otherwise, I work with a bunch of AF Academy grads who are sometimes difficult to take...

There's a couple of Portland State Fans. I've converted two Oregon fans into Griz fans. So that makes 3 Montana fans.

My Chief Information Officer is a Northwestern State grad, and he's like tits on a boar hog. Fuckin' useless.
My hot little spinner blonde VP of Marketing is an Idaho State Grad. Quite possibly the best thing to ever come out of the state of Idaho.
