ATN Podcast: Starting 2011 with a bang

The trophy
Redlands quarterback Chad Hurst led four second-half scoring drives in the Bulldogs’ win.

The opening weekend of the season is exciting enough without all these hear-stopping finishes we had. North Central … Otterbein … Delaware Valley … Mississippi College … Bridgewater … Illinois College. Plus a big Top 25 matchup and much more to talk about.

The Around the Nation Podcast is a weekly discussion between D3football.com Executive Editor Pat Coleman and Deputy Managing Editor Keith McMillan, who writes the Around the Nation column. It’s the first analysis of the week that was. The show tends to run anywhere between 30 and 60 minutes per week — fit it into your lunch hour.

Game Day: Let’s hand out some bids!

Posted on by

WartburgLots of big games, rivaling the great Week 5 we had for sheer number of good games, but far more important in the grand scheme of things, as many conference races will be decided on Saturday.

I’ll be at Wabash-Wittenberg, where I won’t knock a team off my list but I will knock a stadium, having never seen football on Witt’s campus before. (I’ve been there for basketball. In fact, for a state I’ve never lived in, I’ve seen a fair amount of Wittenberg in football and basketball, and this will also be my third Wabash game. In fact, this is my third Wabash game in three seasons.

My friend, the Hamline SID, would read this and say, what, you’ve been to see Wabash three times since you moved to Minnesota and you’ve never been over to see us? That’s the breaks, I guess.

Keith McMillan says he’s heading to Muhlenberg-Ursinus. And you guys are … wherever you’re at!

ATN Podcast: Looking at Pool C

Posted on by

St. John FisherWe got a clear pecking order in a couple of conferences this past weekend: Northwest Conference, Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and Empire 8 in particular. That put Pacific Lutheran, Bethel and St. John Fisher out into the at-large playoff picture: Pool C.

But where in the picture? With strength of schedule numbers available, we can at least take a basic look at where teams settle in, and who, if they win out, would be considered the locks of the field.

Plus, after St. John Fisher’s loss, what is the likelihood of an East Region team getting a No. 1 seed?
