ATN Podcast 261: Sixteen games on the road to the Stagg Bowl

Posted on by

The games are here! We’ve got 16 games on Saturday that will get us started on the road to Shenandoah, Texas, where the Stagg Bowl will be held one more time this year before it moves to Canton, Ohio. Our crew will break down each of the four brackets in terms of first-round games, and there is plenty more preview coverage on D3football.com.

We also talk with Hope coach Peter Stuursma. He was on our podcast back in March 2017 closer to the beginning of his tenure, after one season. Now he has his Flying Dutchmen in the playoffs, and with a home game at that. He talks about the progression of the program in the past few seasons, the unusual Division III quarterback he is able to put out there and what’s to come Saturday against Wartburg.

Plus, Pat and Keith talk about some of those other games outside of the NCAA playoffs which are on the schedule for Saturday, as well as some of the Division III coaches who have stepped down in the few days since the season ended. All that and more in Podcast 261.

This edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast is sponsored by Gotta Have It: 3D Fan Foam Wall Signs for the D-III fan in your life.

Pat and Keith talk about it all in the latest D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast. The D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast is a regular conversation between Pat Coleman and Keith McMillan and guests covering the wide range of Division III football.

ATN Podcast 260: The one with the bracket

Posted on by

We finally have a bracket, the bracket, the one with the 32 teams on the road to the Stagg Bowl. While folks associated with John Carroll and Susquehanna don’t understand why they aren’t continuing on into the playoffs (can’t say we didn’t warn you), there actually is a lot to like in this bracket.

Did you see how Wheaton and North Central are on complete opposite sides of the bracket? Other potential conference rematches are pushed off toward the national semifinals. Now if Wheaton and North Central were somehow the two best teams in Division III, we could have a set of Little Brass Bell rivals in Shenandoah, Texas.

Do you have questions about how the bracket was put together? We talk to Jim Catanzaro, the Division III football committee chair, about how the at-large teams were selected, why Redlands and Mary Hardin-Baylor are playing in the first round, and much more.

Plus, Pat and Keith were at MetLife Stadium on Saturday for the super-sized Cortaca Jug showdown, and give their thoughts about the rivalry, the crowd and the performance of one Joe Germinerio.

ATN Podcast 259: Eleven bids to go

Posted on by

Alright, folks — we’re down to one week, 112 games and lurking out there in the final game of the night on Saturday is UW-Oshkosh, which can play chaos agent. If the Titans — or perhaps we should call them Agent UW-Zero — knock off UW-Whitewater, then so much hell will break loose in the virtual war room that is the NCAA committee’s conference call.

So much hell. Oshkosh coach Pat Cerroni doesn’t care whether you’re rooting for the status quo or for chaos, though. We talk about that and more with the Titans’ coach on this week’s gameday podcast.

Plus, rivalry weekend doesn’t have enough trophies, so Pat and Keith make up a rivalry trophy for a whole bunch of games this week. We’ve got previews of a bunch of big games, including the Showdown in the Meadowlands, and much more on the latest D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast.
