It was a long, strange trip. But when you see four games, you are bound to see a good one, and that’s what happened when Pat Coleman (and his 10-year-old son) drove into Galesburg, Ill., where Eureka quarterback Sam Durley was about to have the game of his life.

You see, you never know what you’re going to get when you roll into town for a game in Division III. There are so many schools and rivalries and storylines that you could end up seeing something truly memorable, like a last-second win, a surprise upset or a great individual performance.

Pat Coleman and Keith McMillan discuss in this week’s Around the Nation podcast.

Plus, they talk about the teams who got their 2012 off to a good start by ending long losing streaks, look at UW-Whitewater’s opening game, as well as Mount Union’s, and the surprises put up by North Carolina Wesleyan, Buffalo State, Rowan, Norwich, Willamette … as was said, a very interesting week.

ATN Podcast: Wrapping up 2011

UW-Whitewater
It’s not a stretch to say UW-Whitewater has reached the top level in Division III, but what of Mount Union?

The 2011 season is over and UW-Whitewater has taken off on a dynasty of its own — 45 consecutive wins and three national championships. But while the Warhawks take home Walnut and Bronze, they don’t take home all of the D3football.com hardware. Pat Coleman and Keith McMillan discuss Stagg Bowl XXXIX, Mount Union’s disappointment and the offensive player of the year, defensive player of the year and coach of the year awards in this week’s Around the Nation podcast. It’s the final podcast of the 2011 season.
