今日は肌寒い一日であった。厚手の布団を用意しようか迷ったのだが再び暑さが戻ってくると『天気予報』が示しておったゆえ今夜は寝間着を変えよう。これで我の安眠は約束されたようなものであるな。

130 schools said no.
He led the losingest program in college football history to a national championship anyway.
Fernando Mendoza was a 2-star recruit from Miami.

He tried to walk on at his hometown school. They passed.
So did FIU.
So did FAU.
So did everyone else.

At 17, he was sitting in his bedroom, crying over a silent recruiting inbox—after driving to 18 camps with his dad and sending highlights to more than 100 programs.
Not one FBS offer.
His only option? Yale. No scholarship. No NFL path.

Everyone told him to be “realistic.”
“Know your place.”
“Be grateful.”
He didn’t listen.
Because Mendoza understood something most people miss:
The worst outcome isn’t failing.
It’s never getting the chance to try.

Two weeks before signing day in 2022, his phone rang.
Cal needed a body. One offer. Out of 134 schools.
He took it.
He arrived as the third-string quarterback.
Spent a year on the scout team.
Lost his first four starts.
Got sacked 41 times behind a broken offensive line.

Still got up. Every time.
Then Cal brought in a transfer instead of building around him.
So Mendoza left the only school that had ever said yes.
He transferred to Indiana—the losingest program in college football history.

People laughed.
“Career suicide.”
“Graveyard program.”
“Nobody wins there.”
One coach told him something different:
“I’m going to make you the best Fernando Mendoza possible.”
That was enough.
Mendoza wasn’t just playing for football.
His mother has battled multiple sclerosis for 18 years.

Before every snap, he thought of her.
“My mother is my why.”
Indiana went 16–0.
Beat six Top-10 teams.
Won their first Big Ten title since 1945.
Mendoza threw 41 touchdowns.
Won the Heisman—first in school history.
First Cuban-American to ever do it.

Then came the title game.
Miami. Near his hometown.
Fourth-and-4. Season on the line.
Quarterback draw.
The kid 134 schools rejected spun through defenders and dove into the end zone.

Game over.
Indiana—national champions.
The losingest program became the best team in America.
All because a 17-year-old refused to believe “no” was the end.

Rankings don’t decide your ceiling.
Gatekeepers don’t write your ending.
Being overlooked isn’t a verdict—it’s a starting point.

Sometimes all you need is one shot…
and the courage to bet on yourself when nobody else will.
Don’t quit.

After falling short in the Fiesta Bowl, Ole Miss QB Trinidad Chambliss hugged his former coach Tony Annese, who he won two national championships with at D-II Ferris State.

A summary of the ending to the FCS National Championship game:

4Q 5:10 - Illinois State ties the game on a 25-yard TD pass on 3rd & 9.

4Q 0:57 - Montana State blocks Illinois State’s 37-yard field goal attempt, picking it up and returning it to the other 45-yard line.

4Q 0:22 - Montana State snaps the ball over their QB’s head for a loss of 20 yards, killing any hope at a FG attempt.

OT - Illinois State gets the ball first, scores touchdown, but then has their EXTRA POINT BLOCKED.

OT - Illinois State’s defense holds up for 3 downs, forcing a 4th & 10, then Montana State throws a 15-yard TD. Due to the blocked extra point before, Montana State’s extra point ends up being the walk-off winner for the national title.

UNBELIEVABLE game. 🔥

No scandals, no controversies, no gambling advertisements, just pure love for the game.

I don't see how you couldn't like Gunner Stockon.
