ATN Podcast 255: The one with November

The final few weeks of the regular season get started, well, now, as we have key showdowns in the state of New York, and Iowa, and Pennsylvania, among others. Plus, if you are looking for a better understanding of how the mock regional rankings that we put together work, well, we welcome back our chief bracketologist, Greg Thomas. He’ll tell you what goes into the mock rankings, and the real ones which we will see on Nov. 6, then Pat and Keith talk about how the field is selected and who the at-large teams might be at this point.

Plus, Pat and Keith make up a rivalry trophy for a North Region game this week. Keith picks six winners and also has to mispronounce school names, as if he were working for a national network, while Pat has to pick games in keeping with Thursday night’s Halloween.

This edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast is sponsored by Gotta Have It: 3D Fan Foam Wall Signs for the D-III fan in your life.

Pat and Keith talk about it all in the latest D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast. The D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast is a regular conversation between Pat Coleman and Keith McMillan and guests covering the wide range of Division III football.

ATN Podcast 249: The one with the Cru reaction

This was shaping up to be a perfectly normal week with awesome Division III football games, and then the news broke, that UMHB was being told it had to give up the 2016 Division III football national title.

UMHB is appealing this decision. But it could well go through. We’ll open with a sound bite from Randy O’Rear, the UMHB president, and a couple of quotes from coach Pete Fredenburg, and then Pat and Keith will run down the context, what it all means, whether it’s right, and how it’s not like when Thomas More vacated the NCAA Division III women’s basketball title. (Even though it’s being treated like it is.)

We also talk to Wheaton coach Mike Swider, whose team had a pretty big win last week against North Central. But his Thunder teams have beaten North Central before and then not run the table, so there are some things to talk about there. Swider talks about motivating his team, what motivates him beyond being a football head coach, and exactly how many Wheaton head coaches were upset by the injury to quarterback Spencer Peterson last Saturday.

Plus, the guys make plenty of Subaru references, pick winners in about two dozen of Saturday’s Division III games, and generally get you ready for 2019’s Week 6 by trying to create an alternate trophy for a game which already has one..

Around the Nation Podcast 229: Gutting it out

Whether pounding the rock, running a non-Wildcat, throwing deep down the field or just being what we thought you were, there’s a storyline for each game on Saturday.

Jackson Erdmann finishes the game with a separated shoulder and Mary Hardin-Baylor finishes with a pair of interceptions and a three-point win. And, as T.J. Josey says, it’s a game the Cru sorely needed. UW-Whitewater’s rock-pounding and defense has looked comfortingly reminiscent of the Warhawks of old. Like 2011 old or so.

Meanwhile, Mount Union put Josh Petruccelli behind center and Muhlenberg couldn’t do anything about it. And Johns Hopkins looked fantastic on offense — enough so that Keith McMillan was ready to say something about the Blue Jays’ trip to Alliance.

Pat and Keith talk about it all, first the high points, then all the points, in the latest D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast.
