ATN Podcast 245: The one with the woodwork

Posted on by

North, South, East and West, we’ll be looking for great games to come out of the woodwork.

Nothing is going to stack up to the awesomeness that was Week 3, but whenever you feel like a week doesn’t have much to watch for, that’s when things will blow up.

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.

Meanwhile, North Carolina Wesleyan is the latest D-III team to take on D-I FCS school Stetson. Why are so many teams playing Stetson? Coach Jeff Filkovski talks with us about that, his team’s ups and downs this season and how they are building a stadium specifically for Homecoming.

Plus, Pat and Keith get put on the spot, the crew tells us about the right games to watch on Saturday, and it’s predictions galore for Week 4.

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 244: The one with the upsets after dark

Posted on by

It was a strong day of games when we had our noon kickoffs, and it got even better by 7:00. Then when the 10 p.m. games kicked off, and heated up, and ended up in upsets, we knew we had just witnessed one of the great sets of games in … years? Hard to tell.

Meanwhile, Mike Maynard has no interest in seeing his 200th career win celebrated, and tells D3football.com contributor Greg Thomas about it. UW-Whitewater lost its quarterback on the first play of the game. Wheaton held the Illinois Wesleyan offense in check. There was a surprise upset in the Ohio Athletic Conference.

By now you probably have seen the story, and the effect on the Top 25. But in addition to those games, UMHB showed more signs of struggle and promptly lost six of its first-place votes. Is it time for panic for the Cru? Plus, Pat and Keith hand out their game balls, point out the teams likely to rise and fall in the Top 25, and all the rest of the categories.

ATN Podcast 243: The one with all the mascots

Posted on by

This week is the last gasp of non-conference play for some schools, where the Northwest and SoCal will be battling it out all down the line, and the MIAA and NACC will be doing so as well. Plus conference play gets started with two huge games in the CCIW, and the MIAC gets underway.

Guest Mike Schmidt, the head coach at UW-La Crosse, talks about his team’s 2-0 start and how he and his staff use analytics to get the right guys the ball and in the right spot in the lineup.

Plus, we coin the Schenectica Cup (even if that’s for the wrong game), Keith has to pick teams to win based on their mascot and Pat has to pick them by vowel, and there’s a Mug, and five one-liners and no … the points don’t matter. Except where they do.
