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.

Game night with the defending champs

WHITEWATER, Wis. — This isn’t the only game going on, and it doesn’t even have an impact on the NCAA playoff selections, but it’s certainly where the most interesting game in Division III football is taking place tonight.

That’s why we’re here at UW-Whitewater tonight, to see exactly what the defending national champions are going to put on the field. We’re already well-versed in what the Warhawks graduated off last year’s team, and no, it wasn’t just Justin Beaver or A.J. Raebel. And tonight expected starting running back Jake Andersen, who ran for 233 yards and two touchdowns last season, is not dressed against St. Xavier, which is No. 8 in the NAIA’s preseason coaches poll.

But it’s still a festive night here at Perkins Stadium. The school will honor last year’s senior class at halftime and raise a national championship banner in the near end zone. The marching band is on the field and fans are packing in from the tailgating in the parking lot. Those who helped make the stadium renovations happen were recognized a few minutes ago, and the team is running out on the field as we speak.

I’ll keep you updated from here occasionally, but also follow along with the live audio, stats and/or UWW’s pay-per-view video from the links on our front page.
