Game Day live: Good day to track

If you’re not heading out to a game, this is a great day to track multiple games online from home. Our Scoreboard page has audio, video or live stats for every game involving a Top 25 team, for instance. Just hover your mouse over the link icon and see what pops up for each game.

I’ll be at St. John’s/St. Thomas. I gave serious consideration yesterday to hopping in a car and driving to Wabash-Wittenberg. If Wabash had been hosting I would have been far more likely, as a nine-and-a-half-hour drive sounds a lot more palatable than a 12-hour one.

We’ve already laid out all the implications of the weekend on the Triple Take and the front page. What’s left, I think, is to actually play the games.

Chime in with any updates you’re tracking, as always.

Gameday: Week 6

Not all Saturdays are created equal and this one clearly has more interesting games than most.

No.1 Mount Union and No. 4 Capital meet each other in a familiar situation with Mount Union as the favorite and Capital hoping to upset the Purple Powerhouse. These teams have had a handful of meetings with these same national rankings and none of the outcomes favor the Crusaders.

No. 17 Salisbury takes the field without several members of its starting defense against St. John Fisher who is without any margin for error if it has any chance at an at-large bid.

Elsewhere the only undefeated teams in the NJAC (Cortland-Montclair), SCIAC (Occidental-Redlands) and MIAC (Augsburg and Carleton) meet. No. 15 Case Western faces its toughest test in Wooster. Ditto for Wheaton (Ill.) against Augustana and Wabash against Wash U. Lycoming ‘s resurgent offense meets Albright, which struggled to score against FDU-Florham last week while Del Val hosts Leb Val.

Plenty to talk about, plenty to follow. Have at it and enjoy a great day of football.

Game Day: Almost halfway home

It’s Week 5 out of 11 in the Division III football regular season and make or break for several teams, even some who are just starting their conference schedule.

One Division III football player’s Facebook status refers to the weekend games as “heading to the office,” and that’s a lot of what this part of the season is about. Get your work done, take care of business, and wait for what else happens around you. Few teams are completely and totally eliminated from the playoffs (though many are realistically eliminated) so all you can do is plow ahead and get your own W’s.

Great games today which we’ve detailed in the Triple Take and on the front page. Let’s plow ahead, and fill everyone in on what you’re seeing or hearing elsewhere in our comments section.
