ICYMI - Frank & JB wrap up Season 18 and the 2025 #D3FB season with a great show in which they look back once again at the Stagg Bowl and what has happened to the teams since, and they begin to look forward to the 2026 season. In that preview, they discuss challenging schedules and interview Rowan Head Coach Pat Ruley, who reveals his team’s Week 1 game against a national powerhouse. The guys run through all of the coaching changes announced over the last months, and they also look at the entire D3FB environment inside the national college football context with @RedditCFB’s Bobak Ha’Eri. Finally, Frank and JB give some predictions for the 2026 season. Thank you for joining us all season long — we can’t wait to bring you our Season 19 content, coming sooner than you think! 👀: nitter.app/frankrossi/status/2025… 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

As a guy who lived on the west coast for almost 15 years, attended a LOT of USC games in the heyday (02-06), it’s hard to believe the Pac12 is gone.

I remember a time a few years ago when some people called #d3fb bowls meaningless. I’d show them this trajectory as why they are important and can be building blocks (or bricks) to future successes
We often reflect on our journey for many reasons, but here’s two 1: To honor the ones before us. 2: To always remember “Focus on your vision not your circumstance” “The power of vision” KEEP BUILDING

I’ve seen this a bunch in my 30+ years of #d3fb. For the people trolling Susquehanna, this team isn’t this bad as they are playing and NCC isn’t this good as they appear bc of this score. SU is still the program that beat the number one overall seed and last year the only team that beat the national champion, Cortland. It’s just one of those first time games where the new guy to this level just crumbles under the pressure and never gets back up. Or maybe this NCC team will beat Mount by 28+. Will have to wait and see #d3fb
Lehnen on an 11-yard score. Brutal. 1:27 2Q: #1 North Central 49, #6 Susquehanna 0. @NIsports #d3fb

Sorry you feel that way. You should check out and meet with a #d3fb student athlete sometime. They end up doing all the things you list, and more #whyd3
Let's be honest here, kids don't need football. Coaches who have done nothing else in life besides football need football. Kids are young and have many opportunities they can explore. We should promote that. Help athletes become future business owners, musicians, lawyers, etc.
