We haven’t forgotten about Division III football — in fact, we have about a dozen schedules for 2006 already posted. But this is March, and it’s madness for us. (Sometimes literally.)
The expanded playoffs have hit Division III basketball this season as well. There are 63 women’s teams and 59 men’s teams in the field, representing such football powers as Hardin-Simmons, UW-Whitewater, Augustana and Trinity (Texas) … and also schools at the other end of the football spectrum, such as Puget Sound, Catholic, Bethany and Mass-Boston.
If you miss us, come stop by D3hoops.com and join in the fun.
On March 18, the only two Division III alumni in NFL Europe helped lead their teams to victory.
Coe’s Frederick Jackson (Buffalo Bills) started at running back for the Rhein Fire (1-0), finishing the day with 12 rushes for 48 yards. He also led the Fire with four receptions for 40 yards. The Fire defeated the Frankfurt Galaxy (0-1) by a final of 10-6.
Bridgewater’s Jermaine Taylor (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) started at outside linebacker for the Berline Thunder (1-0), finishing the day with four tackles (all unassisted). The Thunder defeated the Amsterdam Admirals (0-1) by a final of 33-29.
