We here at the Real Football Central blog have officially reached a new milestone: POST #2000! And what better way to celebrate that moment than with a special post from the year 2000! This week's installment of "RFC Throwback Thursday" turns the clock back to December 2, 2000. That was when the then-defending NCAA Division I-AA (now FCS) national champion Georgia Southern University Eagles played host to the Hofstra University Pride in the quarterfinals of the Division I-AA playoffs. While Georgia Southern cruised to an easy 48-20 win en route to winning their sixth and final national championship, Hofstra dropped its football program at the end of the 2009 season. Meanwhile, in 2014, Georgia Southern transitioned from the FCS to the FBS Group of Five, not only joining the Sun Belt Conference but also winning the league title in their inaugural season.
