Crossover season.

Basketball practices begin Oct. 15. Football is in the heart of its season. We’re still collecting schedules (and waiting for D3Scoreboard.com to dump in schedules for its conferences). It’s the time we solicit info from schools for the preseason Top 25. Somewhere in here we have to get the preseason All-American teams together.

Had my first discussion with Mark Simon about the Around the Nation column last night. Still have a day job, of course, as do the rest of us here at D3football.com/D3hoops.com.

And it’s no easier for the SIDs working at D-III schools, especially schools with football.

So I’m down to six and a half hours of sleep a night, basically spending any available waking moment on the sites. I’ll probably be cutting back to six hours a night soon.

So be patient. We’re gearing up. The info is coming. Stick around and talk on the boards. Enjoy the run-up.
