FCS Sightings...

[Grizalltheway]

Saw a chick driving down 25south in Fletcher with University of Montana sticker......she looked lost.........and like she would suck a golf ball through a garden hose....xwhistlex


Saw a woman jogging with a "Got Griz" tee shirt on so I said "Go Montana". She was oblivious so I said it again. When she finally put everything together and realized her tee shirt was from the University of Montana. I don't think she was an alum.

Saturday night I'm at an outdoor concert and I see a car with FAMU as part of the license plate. So I go over to the people and ask who was the Rattler? The young man said it was his father and asked if I was from Florida. When I said no, he was quite surprised I knew about Florida A&M. He introduced me to his Dad and I explained my alma mater was UNH and they we played the same level of football. And that UNH played at Hampton from A&M's league in the playoffs a couple of years ago. We all ended up having a fun discussion!

Not your typical FCS sightings in CT!!


Last Friday in Southport, N.C. saw a man wearing a Montana Grizzlies shirt.


Went to Red Lobster tonight...as we walked in, a man and his significant other were walking out in Griz gear...

GrizNation is stronger than ever. xnodx xrotatehx

[UDBlueLotFan]

I was in Denver last month and while getting off hotel elevator, a couple was getting on and stated Blue Hens...it caught me unexpected, but then he pointed to my UD football hat. He had played at Wofford.

[Appaholic]

GrizNation is stronger than ever. xnodx xrotatehx

Yep....unlike their football team, Griz fans don't object to leaving the friendly confines of Missoula.........btw, anybody got any fotos of Wa-Griz?

[Seven Would Be Nice]

Actually, that's not a GSU alum, per se, but when he was at Armstrong Atlantic State University his ROTC company was a detachment of the Eagle battalion. He is, however, the son of two GSU grads, me very proudly being one of them. That flag now flies at our tailgate. That was during his first deployment and, as I have noted elsewhere, he will return from his second this Thursday.

Congrats on him returning, tell him we said thank you for his service. I have seen those pictures floating around here and the GSU boards and saved them on my computer. Pretty cool stuff. xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

Appaholic, you know I'm a fan of yours, but we're gonna have to set up an intervention for you sooner or later. This stuff is just consuming you man. Will you take this gift I'm offering you?

[Appaholic]

OK.....xrolleyesx ....I concede.....how about an intervention in Missoula this fall? xsmiley_wix You provide the ticket and the beer.......oh, and the airfare.....xthumbsupx

[ursus arctos horribilis]

OK.....xrolleyesx ....I concede.....how about an intervention in Missoula this fall? xsmiley_wix You provide the ticket and the beer.......oh, and the airfare.....xthumbsupx

Ticket and beer no problem. I'll start working on the airfare. I completely forgot that people that can't handle their vices always seem to get a free flight of the deal. Of course I have all of the integrity of a pair of Graham Cracker shoes on a fat guy so you may want to wait before breaking the news to the wife.

It doesn't have to be chartered.......first class would be nice......coach, you gotta be kidding me, but it doesn't have to be chartered......and I'll see if I can swipe some liquor bottles (airplane bottles-any requests?) from the stewardess...........you know, just because I'm a heluva guy....:D

I'm partial to a Cowboy Corksucker. Not the beverage...The stewardess. I appreciate you foregoing the charter. That'll help offset some carbon and allow me to put the money into hookers. Thank you for your fiscal responsibility.

Anything to help my FCS brethren.....BTW, good call on the hookers....I mean you picking them out.....I'm not real picky, you wouldn't be impressed....I'm willing to sacrifice looks for, a certain, accomodating manner if you will

Seriously, think you can make it east for an App game this year? I'll pick up the ticket, we'll make Citdog drive, pick up AshevilleApp and meet ASUMountaineer, ASU88 and AppWookie for some tailgate action.....

Oh that would be epic. We'll look real uptown too with citdog driving. He has a snappy uniform. I would love to be able to make it down there but the Griz have 15 home games this year so I am thinking it may be tough get away from WaGriz. I've got a feeling that if the Griz make the playoffs this year we may end up in Boone soon enough. We will tailgate, oh yes we will tailgate.

Have to wait until tomorrow I believe.....he's already been walked and crated for the evening by now.....

[Hoseinexile07]

Solid I-AA football presence among the history grad students at Florida State:

1. Saw a U Richmond jersey on one of the grad students
2. Two friends of mine in the dept. are from Georgia Southern
3. New grad student here played football at VMI
4. And then there's me, a PC alum. I have this season's football schedule and pictures on my wall, so I get a lot of funny looks from my undergrads. I'm also wearing a PC visor right now, so I guess I'm my own I-AA sighting.

[Grizo406]

I saw a guy wearing a Griz t-shirt in Gold's Gym this morning. On my way home, I saw a bunch of vehicles with various Griz stickers, and when I stopped to get gas, the woman at the next pump over was wearing a Griz cap!

[crunifan]

I met someone here in Cedar Rapids that was an alum of Cal-Poly.

Must be from that growing gay-cult I've heard recently on my news channel? xeyebrowx xsmiley_wix xlolx

[AppGirl]

Not a sighting, but a getting noticed. We were in Ireland last week and a fellow asked my hubby if he was from North Carolina. He said yes, and looked at the guy like he was psychic or something. Our 14 year old said, "It's the hat, Dad." James had on his ASU hat.

[Grizzaholic]

Met a guy that was from Maine and played on the Football team 3 years ago. Was out here, Missoula/Kalispell MT, for a consulting job. Met him at Bayern Brewing this afternoon/evening before we, me and the missus went to the Depot for dinner.

He paid for his own beer, was kind of a dick.

[SideLine Shooter]

Bass Pro Shop in Concord yesterday I saw a young lady wearing one of those Purple Paladin t-shirts. Must have found it at the Goodwill Store.

[89Hen]

A big Illinois State window sticker on a CRV today on the way to work. Virginia tags, so they are probably local. That was the first time for that one for me. xthumbsupx

[lizrdgizrd]

Saw a lovely young woman in a JMU hat at the Durham Bulls game Saturday night. I told her "Go Dukes!" She just smiled. I think she thought I was hitting on her. xeyebrowx

Must not have been a Duke, those JMU girls usually respond with a long string of expletives and smell like cheap whiskey.

JMU=Towson, cheap whiskey = Natty Bo... still an accurate statement from my experience sitting in the student section at Unitas. xoopsx

[OLDMAIN80]

Saw a bunch of ASU shirts at Surfside Beach (SC) this past week.

[Grizaholic17]

One of my friends in Vegas said he saw a car with griz framed plates. Which isn't surprising there. And as I mentioned on another board, I spoke with a griz fan in North Carolina last week. He said he went to all of App's games last year. Wants the Griz to make a trip. So do I! xnodx xnodx

I drove down to Oak Island, NC via relatives house in Raleigh for a wedding this past weekend. I saw four cars with App State paraphernalia between Raleigh and Wilmington on I-40. One black and white oval with ASU, one black and yellow oval with ASU, one small 'A' sticker, and one giant 'A' magnet on an SUV. If you saw a grey VW passat wagon with UD Delaware plate, that was me.

Nice roads in NC. Easy driving. Gotta give props. I was mostly on I-85 and I-40 on the way down and US-64 and I-95 on the way back.

Keep following black SUV with a MARIST Red Fox here in NE Atlanta GA area on way to work. Too many Ga Southern plates and posters to be worthy of mention.

[lizrdgizrd]

Saw a girl with a GEORGIA SOUTHERN shirt on at lunch when I went out for Mexican.

I'm surprised they'd let her wear that to work. :D

[89Hen]

Well it would appear that I will be pulling my kids from their school this week. Leaving a teacher conference this morning I noticed a car in the teacher spots with a University of Montana window sticker. xoopsx xnonono2x :p

We did get a couple new young teachers this year... must be one of them.

On the Glacier Gorge trail in Rocky Mountain National Park I saw a girl wearing a UMass sweatshirt.

On a shuttle in the park a guy was wearing a UNI shirt and I talked about the 2005 playoffs with him.

In the Denver airport a guy was wearing a Cornell sweatshirt.

[McNeese75]

I got a chuckle out of her atleast...

[UDBlueLotFan]

[wapiti]

I saw a Ford F250 with a Cal Poly sticker in the back window heading South on 19th Avenue last week in Bozeman.

[mcveyrl]

Was at a play (professional production) on Sunday afternoon and the guy behind me had an ASU t-shirt on. Leave it to an ASU fan to wear a t-shirt to a play... :p

[89Hen]

I forget that some of you guys don't see too many foreign window stickers on a regular basis. I should count the number of I-AA school window stickers I see in a week. I'd have to believe it would be over 100. In my parking lot right now I'd bet there are JMU, W&M, Gtown, two or three Ivy, two or three Patriot, two or three HBCU's...

[AZGrizFan]

Saw a Richmond Spiders license plate frame on a jeep in front of me on the highway this a.m....

[Mountain Panther]

Met AZGrizfan while attending the ASU/Oregon game in Phoenix! We really enjoyed the "scenery" in the student section, if you know what I mean. Nice to see him rockin' the Griz gear from head to toe.

[griz37]

Saw a guy with a UC Davis shirt at Wal-Mart tonight.

[andy7171]

I followed a Jeep Cherokee to work sporting a The Citadel and EL CID stickers. It also had a Kerry '04 and several Democrat bumper stickers. I felt embarrased for citdog.


This is the 5th different Citadel alumni I have spotted in Baltimore. Needless to say the invasion of the North has begun.

[app]

App St. Shirt in California.

I saw a HOFSTRA PRIDE hoodie walking on the UO campus last week.

it would have been a lot cooler if it had been said FLYING DUTCHMEN

[SunCoastBlueHen]

I played golf with my buddy this morning, it was chilly and he was wearing a The Citadel pullover. I asked him where the hell he got that that, and he proceeded to tell me how he won it back in his boxing days. Evidently, before one of his fights he made a side bet with an ex-cadet that the winner got the other's jacket...

...30 second first round knockout. :p

[Syntax Error]

not entirely FCS but at a stoplight the other day there was a panhandling guy holding a "homeless and hungry" sign. He was wearing a WINTHROP/BIG SOUTH t-shirt!

I was taking my oldest daughter to her end of season soccer party at Friendly's Saturday and walking out was a guy wearing an "Elon Dad" sweatshirt. I said "Hey big game today" He had no idea what I was talking about, But had said he heard they were doing well this year. He said his daughter went to Elon and was now over in Spain. Nice guy.

[Eaglesrus]

I saw some GSU apparel in Greenville, SC, Saturday. Saw some Furman apparel, too, but not as much :)

[OSBF]

At Giordano's pizza in Chicago, guy in full Northeastern gear. Talked to him a little, he's on the rowing team, and plays club rugby. He was shocked that I knew they are the Huskies.

My GF is now convinced that FCS/AGS is a cult.

Saw some Winthrop gear at a store in the DFW area.

[Appstate29]

yesterday at a bar saw a guy in Western Gear, I said they had a great coach and he was going to bring them back, he said "ohh you're familiar", and I turned around my ASU hat so he could clearly see the block A and replied, "Yeah... I'm familiar". Nice guy, we chatted for a few minutes.

[DuckDuckGriz]

Was in Safeway here in Eugene last night turn around and lo and behond I see a woman wearing a 'Montana Grizzlies' vest.

Now granted I am not all there at the time so I say something like "Hey I like your vest! Did you see the game?"

And she just looks at me clueless so I just turn and walk away once my receipt is printed. True story.

Thats odd. Not an FCS sighting but today I saw a guy jogging in a UNC-Tarhole (or Carowhina, Chapel Hell, *****central, basically anything derogatory you can say) pullover, and I tried to hit him with my car. Almost succeded too xthumbsupx xthumbsupx

Man that'd be a hell of a jog.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

OK, I'm now officially disappointed! Over the past few weeks I drove from CT to FL to Iowa and back to CT and nobody spotted me! :(

Most of the time I had a bike on the roof of my car, I have a vanity plate that includes "UNH", I have a decal for "UNH Football" on one rear window, decals for "UNH Alumni" and "Wildcat Athletic Conference" (WAC) on the other rear window. And when outside the car I probably always wore a baseball cap with UNH Football/Basketball/WAC on it. Many times I had a sweatshirt, fleece jacket and/or sweat pants with UNH Football/Basketball on it.

But I was pleasantly surprised on the day after the UNH-SIU game when I'm having a beer at the Big River Brew Pub in Nashville and a Louisville fan sees my gear and says "you guys won yesterday"! xnodx :D (Louisville played Western Kentucky in basketball that day in Nashville.) I was pleasantly surprised that a FBS guy knew the results of the FCS playoffs. He must have family with FCS ties. :p :p

Being that is Eugene she's probably a transient who got the vest for free.

[AppGirl]

Not out of state by any means, but I spent the day Saturday shopping in Winston Salem, home of Wake Forest University. I saw one Wake shirt all day, and about 30 App shirts. Saw about an even amount of App to Wake apparel in the stores.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

I'm in the supermarket wearing a baseball cap with "UNH", don't recall if it was my football or basketball one. A big guy working in the meat department stops me and asks if it was the UNH that just lost in football at Northern Iowa. For those that don't know, there is a University of New Haven that most in CT associate with "UNH".

So, after my initial thought that the losses at UNI are going to haunt me until the day I die :p , I talk with the guy. Turns out he's from the Waterloo-Cedar Falls area and his brother wrestled for UNI IIRC (it was over a week ago xoopsx ). We had a good talk until another customer had questions for him. I'm going to keep my eye open for him when I'm back at that store and it is quieter.

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

At Giordano's pizza in Chicago, guy in full Northeastern gear. Talked to him a little, he's on the rowing team, and plays club rugby. He was shocked that I knew they are the Huskies.

My GF is now convinced that FCS/AGS is a cult.

Wish I read this before I left Cedar Falls! Would have stopped for pizza on my way East just to cement the whole cult thing for her!! And to help her understand that it is a good cult!! ;) xnodx xrotatehx xlolx xlolx

A guy wearing a Maine Black Bears warmup jacket while out watching the Ravens at a local sports bar.

[JMU DJ]

Don't know if TV counts... but I saw a Fordham banner in an episode of "Law and Order" last night... It's the episode where they try the makers of flack jackets for the army because they sent out faulty ones... anyway, the Fordham banner is in the legal offices of the "Government is listening to my thoughts" "tin foil on my head" person on his filing cabinet.

[CID1990]

I spent the last week in Boone up at my cabin, so maybe somebody saw me in my El Cid digs!

There's a chick from GSU that lives one building over from me. I don't think she'll be there long though, due to the noise complaints, different guys going in clutching $20 bills and coming out empty handed, and the empty Cheeze-Whiz cans littering the ground outside her window.

Possibly, but this car was one of the base models (not worth a lot of money) and also new. I would think that it is more likely that it was driven by a Jordanian who went to Elon on a student visa. We had several of them at The Citadel.

[biggie]

Bring this back up, just for the really hot girl wearing a JMU pink t-shirt in my dodgeball league tourney the other night. Almost had to go ask her to remove it, not sure how that would have worked out.

[89Hen]

SUV in my parking lot this morning with an ASU sticker on it. When I first saw I assumed it must be Arizona State, but noticed it had a NC license plate. Don't get many App fans round here. xeyebrowx

[Eaglesrus]

Good rule! You never know how they might skyrocket up through the ranks. One of these days, you might need to ask that person for some time off to attend a road playoff game. I seriously doubt that someone who doesn't know their alma mater's mascot would have much empathy toward a playoff trip! I had a short stint with a female boss who also graduated from UNH. She couldn't have cared less about sports in general nor UNH Football in particular. She couldn't understand why I planned time off around the football schedule! xoopsx xsmhx xmadx The concept of going to Philly and Baltimore to watch UNH Football was a completely foreign to her. xeekx xnonox xlolx I made sure I had a different boss by the next season! :D

Oh yeah, saw a guy wearing a Colgate tee shirt running in the park last week.

My wife and I were at Universal Studios / Orlando a couple days ago. Sat in front of a couple waiting for a show to begin, and the guy asked where we were (originally) from. I said "Iowa," and he then immediately asked "Are you a Hawkeye or Cyclone fan?" Without missing a beat, I asked him if he had ever heard of the Northern Iowa Panthers, and he said that they (the Panthers) had for years been a nemesis of his football favorite team - the Montana Grizzlies.

Small world.

So ... I wanted to ask a question ... have any of you run into fellow FCS football fans in a place you would otherwise not expect to do so?

I said Northern Colorado. He said he should've known as he was a North Dakota State fan.

Walking down the street in Novosibirsk, Siberia, I spotted a young man in a Cal Poly Baseball hat. I approached him and said "Cal Poly?" and he immediately nodded and repeated a very heavily accented version of "Cal Poly". I do not speak Russian very well, and we were not able to communicate any further. But he was very excited that I recognized the Cal Poly hat.

The family and I were in Disney World/Animal Kingdom last week and saw a woman with an App. State Shirt.

Not to smart wearing black in "Disney Hell" when it is 93 degrees, if you ask me.

[Dignan]

A couple of months ago my parents stopped by at the JMU bookstore and picked me up a shirt and a couple of other things and sent them to me. My wife then proceeded to lose the package as it feel out of the bottom of the baby stroller while she was walking through the weekly market in town.

So I suspect, although I haven't yet seen it, that there's someone in Paterna, Spain who occasionally goes around decked out in JMU colors (maybe even with a matching baby too). I just hope that if I see it someday I'll be alert enough to get a picture of it.

[AshevilleApp2]

Not a gear sighting, but last week I was in the Smithsonian with an App shirt on. A security guard saw the shirt and started a conversation about FCS football. It turns out he played on the Florida A&M team that came to Boone for the first round game in the 1999 playoffs.


They blew us out of the water. xsmhx


A great guy, but a game I'd rather forget. xnodx

I'm in Virginia and I saw a guy in a UNH hat. Asked him about beating Ball State but he didn't know what I was talking about.

In undergrad we took a spring break trip to Key West. We camped. The tent next to us was full of Eastern Mennonite students, which is a weird coincidence since Eastern Mennonite and JMU are both in Harrisonburg.

Granted, I take notice when I see Northern Iowa stuff, or hear Northern Iowa talk outside the state of Iowa. So, for about the fifth time in the past two weeks, I've had someone here in Florida point out to me that they have heard of the Panthers, because they heard they lost to the Iowa Hawkeyes in the last few seconds.

I'll tell you right now that losing on (2) blocked field goal(s) still stings - and a loss is a loss, but ...

People DO notice that "other" sub-division of D1 football. Even here in the middle of Florida.

I was waiting in line at a store in 'west' Lake Norman behind a guy wearing a Michigan State cap. I was chatting him up with all my suthern charm, and he was doing his best to put me on 'ignore'.

I was at the Miami/Clemson game at Landshark. I was spotted wearing my app state croakies. I hear "Go App!" from up the aisle, turns out the lady was and App grad from '96. From Hickory.

I was in Austin last Sunday morning and there was a guy in a Liberty tee shirt in the hotel breakfast area

[DOME]

Couple weeks ago I was in Lawrence, KS (Home of the KU Jayhawks) walking down Mass Street on Sunday, head to toe in UNI gear. Not intentionally, just so happens that when I grab mesh shorts, a sweat shirt and ball cap the odds are in favor of each having to do with UNI.

Some dude, never saw his face, yells out of a moving car "UNI SUCKS!"

I tend to disagree with him but was suprised someone not only recognized UNI in the middle of Big 12 country, but cared enough about it to yell like that.

Probably a UNH fan....

Did you get her name? That was the year I graduated, and I had lots of aquaintances from Hickory at App.

[Georgia Griz]

You know, I was at the Bristol NASCAR race back in the Spring, my wife was wearing one of my Griz sweatshirts, and I heard someone shout "Go Griz" while climbing the steps to our seats. I returned the chant and looked up and around to see who had shouted it. xrotatehx Never saw the person who had shouted it. There were freaking thousands and thousands of people. Never seen so many people in such a small place in my entire life! It was like someone had kicked an ant mound! xlolx
