ATN Podcast: Three big showdowns

Posted on by

Pat and Keith spend a fair amount of time on the three Top 25 matchups from this past week, including the playoff implications and what we learned from them. Also, what do we make of Wittenberg’s road struggle at Allegheny? Are Mount Union’s five turnovers on Saturday a concern? Plus the big games in upstate New York, next week’s showdowns and more in this week’s Around the Nation Podcast.

ATN Podcast: Couple upsets

Posted on by

There were a couple of upsets on Saturday, one practically unthinkable — yes, Grinnell, that’s you guys! — but the big winners of the first two weekends of Division III football were us, the fans.

Yes, that’s because we’ve been treated to a bunch of great early-season games, probably because few teams are willing to schedule the powers in the WIAC, NWC and ASC, so they are forced to play each other. Just look at the slate played by WIAC teams this past weekend for evidence.

Pat Coleman got to see the season opener for Mount Union, while Keith McMillan saw a D-III rivalry game more like Army-Navy than anything in Division III. They discuss those things and more in the Around the Nation Podcast.

ATN podcast: Implications already

Posted on by

Good week of games, Week 1, right?

Well, yes and no. We had some good games, especially with Willamette and UW-Stevens Point stepping up to the challenge and playing each other in a key early-season game, even though the NCAA last year made it clear such scheduling would not be rewarded.

Keith McMillan and Pat Coleman also talk about the interesting quarterback situations at Wesley and St. Thomas, two would-be national title contenders. They give their take on which conferences had particularly bad first weekends, congratulate a team that well outdid expectations (No. 219 beating No. 154), and a couple teams that almost did as well.
