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.

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 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.

ATN Podcast 258: The one with mass hysteria

Posted on by

That’s how dark it was in Spokane, Washington, when Linfield and Whitworth were playing in overtime. That’s just one of several intriguing storylines from Saturday, including the way the Central-Wartburg game ended. You’ll want to hear Keith’s take on whether the Central receiver got the ball across the plane of the goal line in overtime, and also how he would describe the game if Central had lost.

Plus, they talk about the surprise of the Ithaca-RPI game, and how that sets up this weekend’s Cortaca Jug showdown with Cortland. And Keith got to see the ODAC championship being decided between Bridgewater and Randolph-Macon, and talked with the victorious quarterback afterward.

Pat and Keith talk about an inspiring moment in Division III from Saturday. Plus, they will help you make sense of results that don’t make sense. And they go off the beaten path for highlights, spotlight their surprise results, the big stats and more from Week 10.
