ATN Podcast 334: No less thrilling a week

Posted on by

This week didn’t feature five games between Top 25 teams, but as we’ve known for years in Division III football, that doesn’t make it any less thrilling.

Out of 116 games, you’re going to see a little bit of everything, such as a game where three touchdowns were scored in the final 60 seconds. A walk-off field goal for a Top 25 upset. A 0-3 team ranked in the Top 25 (first time for everything). Game balls handed out to players who did a little of everything, or who were the team’s go-to guy in the closing moments.

This edition of the podcast is sponsored by d3photography.com, the licensed photography bureau contracted by D3sports.com.

Last week we talked about the latest 6-foot-4, 245-pound running back — well, how about a 300-pounder taking a fake punt to the house? Plus, who’s getting it done in the 1, feeling blue in the 2, running free in the 3 and much more. We answer reader questions, put Pat and Greg on the spot and more in this podcast covering Division III football’s Week 3 games.

Plus, we mention every team listed in the tags at the bottom of the page.

ATN Podcast 333: A little fun under the lights

Posted on by

It was a fun night for Trinity (Texas) fans in San Antonio, and the same for fans of Eastern on a rainy night in Philadelphia. Oberlin got a losing streak out of the way, King’s looks good at 2-0, Susquehanna got a win off of the Brockport bullpen, and UW-Whitewater followed a Week 1 statement with a Week 2 statement.

Yes, Trinity got over the hump of beating Mary Hardin-Baylor for the first time in more than two decades. Is that enough to make the Tigers the program to beat in Texas? We convened a panel of experts to talk about that and more from the Tigers’ 35-16 win.

Plus we hand out game balls to two performances which took place in the same state, talk about the latest 6-foot-4, 245-pound running back, see a different set of Tigers come roaring back, talk about a matchup with a little bit of buzz. We answer reader questions, put Pat and Greg on the spot and more in this podcast covering Division III football’s Week 1 games.

ATN Podcast 332: Right where we left off

Posted on by

It really does seem as though the 2023 Division III football season is going to be just like the 2022 version. But with even more games between ranked teams, more nailbiting, more magic.

Johnnie Magic up in Collegeville? Perhaps, if you’re a fan. If you’re Trinity (Texas) coach Jerheme Urban, you may come from a different mindset. He gives his perspective on the sequence events at the end of that game at St. John’s in our Fast Five interview segment.

Plus you’ll hear from people on the St. John’s side about the big win, and also coach Larry Harmon from Mary Hardin-Baylor and Matt Walker from UW-River Falls about the shocking, blowout manner in which that game went down. In addition, we hear from Johns Hopkins quarterback Bay Harvey after his team’s win against Ithaca. Thanks to Riley Zayas of True to the Cru and Frank Rossi of In the Huddle for some bonus audio this week.

In addition, we hand out our Game Balls, pull out our stats of the week, answer reader questions, put Greg on the spot and more in this podcast covering Division III football’s Week 1 games.
