Support Division III on ESPN poll

Division III basketball fans made their opinions known last year on an ESPN.com poll regarding basketball rivalries, making Hope/Calvin the best rivalry by an overwhelming margin.

Now we’re hoping you can help out Division III football fans. As part of ESPN’s current promotional vehicle, where they are visiting all 50 states in 50 days, they have posted a fan poll for each of the 50 states.

It’s the Indiana poll we’re concerned with. The fifth question on the survey asks what the state’s best rivalry is, and DePauw vs. Wabash football is the last choice on the list (typical lack of respect), but is holding onto first place in the survey. As of this writing, the rivalry has 32.6% of the 15,767 votes, slightly ahead of some schools called Purdue and Indiana, who apparently play basketball. The Monon Bell game between DePauw and Wabash is one of the top rivalries in Division III football.

Vote early. Vote often, or at least on any computer you can get to. Remind ESPN that there are other schools besides those in Division I.
