I did my master's online through Charlotte (still haven't ever been there in person), so I'd try to watch their games if they were ever televised. They had been pretty bad since starting their program until this year, finally making a bowl game, which I'll probably watch. In addition to being the newest FBS program, they also have the youngest head coach, who is apparently already getting considering for Missouri and Mississippi..... Maybe next year they'll be a CUSA contender....

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

Heh, this group doesn't much like assignments in my experience.  But, good idea.

I barely have enough time to follow Purdue.

Maybe if UCSB (my wife's alma mater) had a football team, I could do that, but they don't.

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.

What makes you happy you should do, but be considerate. I suggest you report on the Irish after they sign up for the Big Ten West.

Until then, they are the fainting Irish, to me. Irish faint to preserve tie

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.

Heh, the guy that does the write ups for my neighborhood D3 team is the same guy that handles the PA system during the games. He also asks all the questions in their post game pressers, and probably wears several other hats within their AD. Real glue guy.

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.

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.

Grand View University is a private liberal arts university in Des Moines, Iowa. Founded in 1896 and affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the university enrolls approximately 2,000 students and is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission.

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).

I used to follow Marshall pretty heavily when they were FBS and MAC. They had all these regional rivals and many of there games felt like big games back then. Now even though they are good C-USA its not the same. Why are they in a conference w/ Rice and Tulsa? 

Now a few games into the season I usually just find a fun team and root for them. I want to root for Maryland, its just hard. I wish they kept Matt Canada.
