ATN Podcast 309: Off to a fun start

Posted on by

Yeah, this was a fun first week of the Division III football season, as we were treated to a Top Five showdown right out of the gate, another matchup of national semifinal teams and much more.

We suppose it may not be so fun to be a UW-Whitewater fan or a Muhlenberg fan this week, but we’ll hear from Warhawks coach Kevin Bullis about the team’s commitment to tough scheduling, the mistakes they need to fix, and more in our Fast Five segment. Plus SJU quarterback Aaron Syverson returned and talked about what it was like to get that test early in the season, in front of a huge crowd.

Fan question in our mailbag from @CL1974MN: “If sju wins its next two games is that enough to slot in at number one, or do they first have to cure cancer?”

Plus, game balls returns, as does Stat of the Week and On the Spot. We talk about which teams are underrated and overrated, plus talk about the most interesting things region by region, including the person who gave Rowan a vote on their Top 25 ballot. And who had the worse weekend, the Ohio Athletic Conference or the USA South Athletic Conference? Plus. we talk about every single team that is tagged at the bottom of this post. That’s right! The regular season is back!

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

ATN Podcast 285: Game balls, off the beaten path, and more

Posted on by

We got our first look at the defending national champions this past week, and against a ranked team as well. What do the Cardinals look like? Greg Thomas has his take, and it’s bad news for the rest of Division III football. Plus, we got to see UW-Whitewater against a Top 10 team, and that was super enlightening as well!

Plus, Pat and Greg hand out their game balls, including one to a special teamer, and dig up the great off-the-beaten-path highlights, the weekend’s surprising results. Plus, we take a look at the games coming up in Week 3. All that and more in Podcast 285.

ATN Podcast 265: A new-look quarterfinals

Posted on by

We’re on to the third round of the playoffs, and it’s a round that looks a little less purple, a little more wide-open, and has a lot less for people to complain about.

Will any of the games be close? Can’t say we know that for sure, but one thing we do know is that we have No. 2 through No. 9 in our Top 25 still playing, and that makes things fun.

On this edition of the podcast, we chat with Delaware Valley head coach Duke Greco. He’s taking his team to face the darlings of the second round, North Central, in suburban Chicago. How has this team progressed since struggling to put points on the board in September against Wesley? Who are these guys up front wreaking havoc on defense for the Aggies? We talk about all that and more.

We go around the bracket and preview all four quarterfinal matchups. Who will score enough points in Texas? Do the Thunder have the firepower to outlast the Johnnies? Can the Delaware Valley defensive front keep Broc Rutter from finding the open receiver? How will Muhlenberg do defending the Salisbury option? Plus, Keith predicts who the top rusher and passer will be on Saturday and Pat ranks the defenses and offenses from least outstanding to outstanding. All that and more is covered in Podcast 265.

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.
