Adapted from CS.com:

When your FCS teams are away and you can't make it there, why not cheer for your local D2 and D3 teams in your area?

My teams in D2 and D3 are the following:

Grand Valley State (D2's equivalent of Georgia Southern)

University of Chicago
Johns Hopkins
Mount Union

Delaware Valley is on there, Ursinus and College of NJ is a little farther than I car to drive to see D3 football or I would have added Johns Hopkins.

D2- Saint Anselm (actually the closest school w/ football to my house- about 10 mins away)
D3- Plymouth State (too far for me to drive to care.)

I have never been to a game of either...and Saint Anselm is a big rival of my alma mater SNHU...so its hard to really cheer them on. In NH we also have plenty of HS football on Saturday's as well...so that is always an option.

I also follow D3, Wheaton College, North Central and Millikin.

Thanks for this post. No kidding, get out there and get involved with the local teams. It is the shizz!

Wow, can't read today.

No local D2 teams. Closest are Bloomsburg and East Stroudsburg and they're both around an hour away.

D3, kinda local, Wilkes Barre rivals Wilke's and King's. Both of these teams are 30-40 minutes which is too far for me to care.

I've seen a couple of Millersville Marauders games when I had friends in school there. A couple of guys I knew wrestled there after high school and one went there for basketball. Not sure how they are now, but they weren't much in football back in the day. The wrestling program was phenomenal though.

I go to a D2 school in Southwest Baptist and there are a few other D2 schools within 100 miles.

Pitt State
Missouri Southern
U of Central Missouri

I live in the Birmingham area. Nearby non-DI schools are:

Miles College-A DII HBCU school. Usually not very good and they average about one head coach every other year. They have a new guy this year and an article in the paper this week had the usual optimistic out look. I don't think they are very well funded, its a small private school and aren't very competitive.

Birmingham-Southern College-My alma mater. They were NAIA but no football when I was there in the late 1980s. They moved to NCAA DI for a while but due to budget problems they dropped to DII and are an official DIII member this year for the first time. I hope if they ever get the school's finances straightened out they can go back to DI (were a big South member) and play in the Pioneer League. I went to a game there last year. Nice stadium, wish they'd had football when I was there.

Florida Tech will play their first season in Division in 2013. There is no Division III football in Florida.

[darell1976]

We have DII
Minnesota State-Moorhead

DIII

Concordia (Moorhead)

NAIA

Mayville State, Valley City State, Jamestown College

What division will the Panthers play in? My son graduated from there in 2008 and the president, Calabrese, was the guy who started football at FAU. I thought they may eventually go to FCS once they get established. Good school.

When I can, I attend Moravian Greyhounds' games at Steel Field in Bethlehem, PA. Good little program and a nice rivalry with Muhlenberg College in Allentown, just a few miles away. I have family connections to Ursinus and my wife graduated from Dickinson, so I've followed the D-III scene for a long time.
On the D-II level East Stroudsburg is bout 30 miles north and Kutztown about 35 miles west.
