Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I typically sneak ND stuff into what I'm saying and I'm happy to do it more

Blasphemer!!!

I think it would be fun as more of a random assignment basis.  Maybe request a conference and be assigned a team.

I've also always followed Fearless Frankie and his Ohio Bobcats

Interesting topic. I'd like to get in.

The news coverage issues with FCS and below teams is a real issue for reporting here. We have one area FCS team, UNI. We have local coverage of D-III teams, too. And, my daughter attends Clarke University, an NAIA college that started a football program this year.

In Iowa we have only two D-II teams of which I am aware, Morningside (Sioux City), and Upper Iowa (Fayette - a town of 1,427 - they must not count students), just 45 miles north of us.

I could take FSU, but I'd have to purchase a subscription to the Tallahassee Democrat to be fair. I only get to see FSU play in-person about once a decade, and Iowa about once a year.

I'm not sure "we" need to provide excruciating minor details, just overviews that could be of interest to others who follow B1G teams.

FSU is an interesting case, a program with a storied somewhat recent past and in the dumps now.  I think I'm going to adopt UNC, not because they may be on an upswing but because the coaching change there is interesting, I think.

The defending national champions are going back to the NAIA national title game.

It came down to an All-American making a play against another All-American.

In what turned out to be a defensive slugfest, Morningside held Grand View’s offense in check in the second half, including forcing a fumble in the final seconds, allowing the Mustangs to win its NAIA semifinal game 21-16 over Grand View on Saturday at Elwood Olsen Stadium on Saturday.


Now Morningside gets to defend its national title against Marian, who won the national title against the Mustangs in 2012, on Dec. 21 in Grambling, Louisiana, at Eddie G. Robinson Stadium.

I follow most of the B1G West, but I like following NIU. Maybe I'll adopt them next year.

Maybe.

Also like following the schools who offered me for grad school (other than UW). 

Cornell, UC-Davis, NU, Auburn, aTm, Florida, PSU and Michigan (threw up in my mouth on that last one - well, not really, but maybe).
