I know there was talk about this before but I couldn't find the thresd. Anyway, today was wear a college shirt day at my school. A young lady walked into my 6th perod with a Crown shirt on. Whoa, here in California.
How often do you see shirts or other signs of D-III schools in parts of the country no where near the school?
I remember seeing Willamette and PLU bumper stickers when I was in L.A. Saw a Rowan shirt in S.F.
There ia a LaVerne Alumni license plate living in Northern California. Asmall town called Live Oak. It's about an hour north of Sacramento. Leopards in Nor Cal, OH MY!!!
I was in Cooperstown, New York this summer and saw a fellow wearing a UW-Whitewater shirt. Talked to him for a bit - he was an alum, now living in Florida.
I used to have a Linfield license plate holder and was flagged down on several occassions (by people in other cars) who graduated from Linfield. One was a very old gentlemen who had graduated in the 1930's ( I don't know how he even saw the license plate holder!). Oh yeah, I'm in Southern California so I guess if you drive in traffic long enough you'll encounter somebody who has graduated from just about any school! :)

Working in NYC and living in North Jersey you get the same thing. I have seen hats, shirts, bumper stickers etc from D-III schools from all over the country around here.
I saw a Hardin-Simmons sticker on a truck in Birmingham, Michigan (Detroit area). I had to do a double take.

It was going on on the Around the Nation thread.
Same with the list of famous D3 alums, that's on there too but someday needs its own thread.
I've actually taken to wearing D3 shirts from different places when I'm not working or covering games ... so the day someone says "I saw a guy on a D.C.-bound plane with a McMurry shirt on," I'll know just how small a world it is.
Thanks K-Mack. I knew I wasn't imagining things. This time anyaway. :P
I saw a Wisconsin Eau Claire sweat shirt at Lake Quinault in Washington and a Carleton shirt at the High Desert Museum near Bend, Oregon. Both folks were surprised I knew of the schools.

Would it be possible for this site to do something like a d3sports.com store??? I know this site gets a percentage if someone links through here to buy books and things like that. Could this site set up some type of space on here where you could buy merchandise from any of the D3 schools??? It might be mutually benefitial for both the schools and this site??? Maybe.
Those are definitely thoughts I've had for if this were a full-time job. Unfortunately, it's not really something I have time to deal with and do a full-time job as well. :-\
I should do more with our Amazon stuff as well. Sigh ...
I've never been too big of a fan of wearing internet-purchased team/college clothing....it seems a little bit like cheating to me. Wearing a Hardin Simmons or Cal Lutheran shirt that you purchased in Abilene or Thousand Oak is certainly better (more honorable even??) than wearing one that you bought through an online warehouse or Steve & Barry's type store.

If it puts money in the schools coffers whether you bought it at the school bookstore or online I wouldn't think it would matter. And if this became an added revenue stream for these schools and for this website I wouldn't see what the problem is.
This has been a watershed summer for me seeing D3 car decals in the D.C. area. First off, I commute into D.C. now and often find myself stuck by the pentagon or somewhere.
Second, seeing a Johns Hopkins decal (or Bridgewater, CNU, even Gettysburg) doesn't exactly count, as they're all regional schools.
But I saw Sewanee on back-to-back days this week. I think I've spotted half the NESCAC in D.C., definitely Bates, Amherst and Wesleyan. Grinnell I think. Beloit I think. Just some real off the wall "really, here?" type of stuff.
I wish I remembered to post them as I see them, but anyway ...

I had ann SJU sticker on my car when I lived in NOVA.
Pep was wearing an AU football shirt while walking around the festivities at HarborFest in Oswego, New York over the weekend. As a result, Pep was approached by a couple of AU alums, who Pep chatted with for close to 20 minutes while standing some of the time in the rain! The gent had played golf (with Coach Yunevich as his mentor) and basketball at AU.

I was in Orlando last week and wore a couple of Mount Union shirts. A dude hawking some energy drink outside a 7-Eleven asked me about the Raiders as well as our waiter at the Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney.

That is not a bad idea.
My two most random D3 sticker shocks.
1 - A Northland sticker at the Springfield (Pa.) Mall
2 - A Sul Ross State bumper sticker on the back of a car in Delaware
Saw a St. John Fisher bus at the intersection of 14th and Constitution in D.C. one day last week. I assume they were going to CUA for something. Or maybe it was the summer-school Poly Sci department on a field trip.
I am a Mount Union grad and work for the Cleveland Indians. I saw someone wearing a St. John Fisher shirt at Progressive Field earlier this summer.
If I ever get back to New England I *will* wear a "Trinity of Texas" shirt. ;)
Today I spotted a LeTourneau t-shirt in the Pittsburgh Airport. The guy had a Houston Astros hat on but was headed to Boston.
D3 t-shirts are very common among U of Michigan grad students. I'm reasonably sure I've seen EVERY school from the UAA and NESCAC at one time or another, plus dozens of others.
In the parking lot at Lake Louise (Canadian Rockies) this summer I spotted auto stickers from Amherst, Williams, and a couple of others I've forgotten - plus (Pat and K-Mack? ;)) Catholic and RMC!
BTW, the Amherst and Williams vehicles were side-by-side. Is it legal for them to travel together? :o And if not, I wonder if they noticed (and if one vehicle had tires slashed before departure)? 8)

That's pretty funny.
Pretty sure I saw Colby and Bates cars parked next to each other in Great Falls Park (Va.) last summer.
Gal who runs the admissions desk at the Orange Coast Community College training facility in SoCal wears Amherst gear. I think she said one of those "took your land – kept your sport" games like lacrosse.
I was at a McDonalds today in Lomira, Wisconsin which is about 45 minutes north of Milwaukee. I saw a guy in a Middlebury shirt.
This is not a shot at you D.O.C., but your post reminded me of a question I always have when the subject of the settlers taking Native American land rears it's head. Are the same people who think that was an act of evil, the same people who now are for abolition, or loosening of national borders? It seems that way to me, but I haven't taken a poll. Like some great man once said, "Consistency is the hobgoblin of the logical mind." or something similar.
None taken.
I started the thought so I own it.
I'm reminded often of the Robbie Robertson song of
THE BAND
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Just take what you need and leave the rest
But they should never have taken the very best
If the best land were not taken I surmise we would see more native American gear around and not the downsizing of the last 30 years.
"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." From the essay "Self-Reliance" by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thanks for the correction cwru. A little after I posted I realized "logical" should have been "small" . Even that would not have been exact, but at least more correct. The collective intelligence of those on here never ceases to amaze me.

Yes, and we would not have seen the Comanche tribe adopt the Spanish horse about 1650 to become the "motorcycle gang" on the plains and terrorize tribes such as the agrarian Jumanos in south Texas, and run them from their lands.

SR,
Well now there's an idea. While I'm not totally willing to give up my jerseys (I mean it's only been 24 years since I played). I would send you one for a year, kinda like a loan to an art gallery. :) You could display it for a year and then mail it back. Now mind you it's not like I was an ALL-American or anything (but I was listed as a starter for the 1983 National Championship) and technically they are not D3 as we (Pacific Lutheran) were NAIA D2 when I played. Let me know if you are interested.
p.s. speaking of half-shirts and the like. I also have the t-shirt I wore under my pads for every practice and game for 4 years, it's a little thin ;D
I was walking around a Wal-Mart today in Lansing (Michigan) and saw a lady wearing a Case Western Spartan shirt.
Occidental College on a car in Austin today.
Hiram sticker on the back of a Subaru Outback. Actually I think they are factory option: Choice of Oberlin, Hiram or Antioch.
Saw both an Occidental Alum license plate frame and a Linfield Alum license plate frame today on the way home from work here in Central CA. OK the Linfield was my daughter's that she had just put on her car. :P
Wartburg T-shirt on a passenger flying from DFW to San Antonio. (Her mother went to Central!)
JHU on a car in the parking lot.
I saw a Tufts shirt on the campus of Carroll University in Wisconsin.
In D.C., saw Hamilton (T-shirt), Wesleyan and MIT (on cars) recently.
Saw Sewanee again today. Either it's the same car or there's a lot of University of the South peeps in D.C. Good Poly Sci dept maybe?
Based on our current condition, there may be "popular" Poly Sci Departments, but are any of them "GOOD?" ;)
I saw a MILF pushing a shopping cart through a local northern VA suburban grocery store today, she was wearing a DICKINSON sweatshirt.

I got an iPhone a few weeks ago actually. I saw one of those super-countrified Ford F350s with the double-wheels on the back, with an Obama sticker. Tried to take a picture of it, but it didn't come out so well ... so I don't think I'll be depending on the ol' cell phone camera :)

St. Pete Times (http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/article888082.ece)
Last week I got out my travel bag that I took with me to the Stagg Bowl and in the process of packing it for a short trip I found a Whitewater pin. Very unusual to find something like that in the bag of a Purple Raider. No idea how it got there.
I'd just like to say that this topic will get me in an accident as I'm determined to find some D-III reference on a vehicle out here in the desert. I might be the only one sporting DIII gear with my ONU football decal and alumni plate frame but I'm determined to see if this DIII wasteland has any other supporters.
I saw a customized Texas license plate that said...

Does that sound like D3 and Liberty League/E8 stuff?
Also saw a Wooster decal in Plano.

AF4, you can understand how those of us who grew up in Texas west of I-35 came to love the horizon and the sky. Traveling west of San Antonio, you can see the next ridge of hills 25 miles away. I recommend a drive to Sul Ross State in Alpine sometime. At night, there is very little "light pollution" so we can "millions" of stars. In the spring and summer, the joy is watching the "thunderheads' build to 70,000 feet as the thunderstorms come in. And year around, especially in winter, we get the beautiful sunsets!
I get claustrophobic in the pine forests of the southeast US. :)
Saw a St. Thomas pull over last week in downtown D.C., but it was dark, so wasn't sure if it was the official MIAC school, or just some random St. Thomas HS.
Thought I'd mention anyway!
Not sure if this counts, but I meant to mention about two weeks ago:

while we were talking it dawned on he, my son, and i...i had coached him in youth league wrestling when he was 11 & 12 yrs old

In talking to him, discovered he graduated from F & M in 1997. I was wearing a UW-La Crosse alumni sweatshirt I got as a christmas present from my sister this year.
Haven't checked all the prior posts, but I think you hold the record so far!
(Now if someone reports an Afghani or Somali d3 sighting ...)
That may not be as far fetched as you think.. I know of quite a few D3 players who have given the ultimate sacrifice over there. And I am sure there are others who have take some of there D3 attire with them.
God Bless everyone of them!!!

Agree totally with your sentiments, but he specified a Korean man. This would have to be an actual Afghani or Somali, not a GI! Of course, even those might be immediate gifts. How about Burundi or Estonia? I've got it - first person with a Tonga or Easter Island sighting wins! ;D
Meanwhile, saw an Occidental sweatshirt in Ypsilanti. MI, today, but that
might just be Obama-chic. ???
I saw an Ohio Northern t-shirt at the Fiesta Bowl. Unfortunately it was mine and I was wearing it to the pre-game Fiesta Bowl Party but in the first ten minutes I was at the stadium I was stopped three times. The first person saw my shirt and said they were ONU class of 1993. The second person was from ten minutes outside of town and knew all about ONU from his time living near the campus. The third was an All-OAC center from Capital that played from 90-93 and was a captain of the Crusaders football team his senior year. I know the game featured OSU but it was still a bit surprising to get such a reaction from my D-III gear so quickly.

I've begun to see black on orange Wartburg personalized license plates around Iowa. The Knights have joined Iowa, Iowa State, and Northern Iowa as the colleges for which the Iowa DOT has made color coordinated plates available.
I realize it's not D3, but there are apparently enough alums here in NC that Purdue is one of the college tags available from NCDOT. That was kind of a surprise to me.
I saw a Cal Maritime shirt on a Tongan when I was there in 1981. CMA was D-III at the time. OK, the shirt had been mine and I traded it for some souvenirs. ;D

On these boards, D3 is family!

no problem at all...u r most likely correct, and i should probably not post all i see, as some of my sightings are tooo close to the schools
i am so use to seeing Auburn, alabama, UGA, TAMU..stuff, and anytime i am not on or accross the street from a D-3 campus and i see something D-3, i am bad about noting it,
unfortunatly for the folks wearing the d-3 shirt or hat, i am real bad about speaking to them. :D my bride is mortified by that behavior :o
I feel a kinship to all of D-3 schools and thier supporters, that probably exists only in my warped mind. ???

Hmmm...
Is his son a swimmer?

A Lycoming sweatshirt in Helena, Montana in July. :)
Finally, something out here in the desert SW. I saw a Wabash shirt at the Apache Junction vs. Bradshaw Mountain high school football game. I asked him if Wabash always fights. He appeared surprised by the reference and I quickly explained myself. Turns out he's the father of a backup QB and PP lurker that works to recruit potential future Little Giants.
Saw a guy on Carroll's campus with a Johns Hopkins sweathshirt on today.

Something like: "Man, I wish we'd had football when I went there."
I think he's going to go see them play next year when they come down to Gallaudet.
Just saw a Wheaton window sticker on a truck here in Central CA.
When I was the club house manager for the Lancaster Jethawks in 2006, I would make it a point to wear some sort of Linfield clothing where ever we went. I got a lot of compliments and even ran into a few alum. The strength coach for the Modesto Nuts was an alum and one of the umpires had a brother attending Linfield.

While I'm dying to joke about drunk Union "working girls" often throwing up at night coming home from work, it only serves to stoke my envy that Union actually enrolls girls--pickin's were mighty slim at RPI in the early '80s.

Going back and forth might be the best strategy. I badgered someone on the MAC board last year, and he claimed that it's said either way. Kind of like in Troy, you hear "Rents a LEAR" just as often as you hear "RENTS uh ler."

I really don't like it when my inner cynic has such good evidence to back up his arguments.
Climate--specifically a temperate one--is a matter of aesthetics, but it's not enough of a factor to get Pepperdine--in Malibu!!--on the top ten list? But why does only California climate get you points? Ever see the Middlebury campus in fall (https://www.d3boards.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm1.static.flickr.com%2F107%2F268834700_a57b28f225.jpg&hash=69d6de8e886e4fc0943bc65a0ee9ca64ae474efe) or in winter, after a snowstorm? (https://www.d3boards.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2F9%2F9e%2FMiddlebury_College_-_Le_Chateau.jpg%2F800px-Middlebury_College_-_Le_Chateau.jpg&hash=2525915229e46e29a02b6d68954238ea4145a774) I'll bet anything its bluestone buildings look a lot better than Minnesota's Superblocks.
My inner cynic is highly skeptical that anything in either Cincinnati or Minneapolis can compare to the ugliest NESCAC campus (whichever one that might be).

And along the lines of the topic, saw a Tufts shirt in D.C. last week, which I think completes the signs-of-the-NESCAC in D.C. checklist. They're easily the proudest conference in D3, no?

Dear Mr. Keith D3 McK-Mack:
We have been forced to defer a decision on your admissions application. Apparently, it was misdirected to our slightly less prestigious sister school, Renssaelear Polly.
We look forward to continuing the rich dialogue that you have helped establish.

I saw a woman in northern VA suburb wearing a WESTERN MARYLAND FOOTBALL sweatshirt this past weekend. I asked her if Western Maryland was her college's maiden name, and she was clever enough to answer yes. I convinced her to call the school (McDaniel) by my preferred nickname, Western McMaryland.

Carleton warm-up top on a young woman in the Orlando airport.
When I was going to high school (back in the dark ages) one of the gals who was a year behind me was wearing a Carleton tee shirt. She was rather well treated by God, upstairs ;), and one of her classmates went up to her and as he moved his head around from left to right, he said, "Car - L - Ton" in a drawn out manner. I hope you get the drift. Sorry for that trip down memory lane but.............
Yesterday I went to a Wisconsin State high school Championship game wearing my St John's cap, and saw a tween as I walked into the stadium wearing a St Thomas Tommies sweatshirt (he was too young to vent on) and kept my backside warm on my buddy's Augsburg blanket. A real MIAC night.

Reminds me of a woman I worked with years ago when I lived in Auburn, AL. Whenever she wore her school sweatshirt someone would invariably ask her where UBUR was.

Didn't buy one(25 and 30 bucks, don't think so) and didn't think to take a picture. On the back where it had all the teams listed, it had SUNY Maritime where it should have had Maine Maritime.

Found out today that one of the guys I've been playing basketball with for three and a half years in Arizona was a QB during the Augustana run. He played there from 84-87 and was part of three natl championship teams during the streak. I had no idea for three plus years of weekend basketball with the guy.
Just curious, but how many people support their alma maters and a local d3 squad? I almost feel like it'd be cheating on Wabash to cheer for Sewanee or Centre (the two nearest schools). I have the utmost respect for both schools. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar issue.

It becomes easier as you age! :(
I'm an IWU alum and CCIW partisan. But having lived in Michigan for nearly forty years, I'm an MIAA fan (save only those times where CCIW loyalties override it).
You can feel free to cheer for Sewanee or Centre (your choice :D) with no guilt, whenever they are not facing Wabash! And perhaps especially when they face DePauw - your call. ;D
I'd add that you could even cheer for IWU over Wabash in the football playoffs with no guilt, but I don't believe in rubbing it in! :o
(Sorry, the devil made me do it! :-[)
I can tell you, now the first round is over, I have no guilt cheering for IWU in the playoffs. IWU is a quality school, with quaility alumni and students. And I can, in fact, forgive at least half the students at IWU for not going to Wabash. :) As for the other half, well no one can make the right choice all the time.

Mr. Ypsi,
I have told many, and it's the truth, that frickin' freshman english best prepared me to graduate.
Almost ended up in Vietnam because of it. Hardest damn year of classes I ever took. And as an idiot, I always took the same instructor because I figured he saw how hard I tried. Silly moi. (that's sort of french. A language I took for 4 years and can speak/write/read fluently. It was english I had trouble with.) :D
At a 24 Hour Fitness in Triangle Square, Costa Mesa, CA, yesterday a HOPKINS shirt.

This weekend I saw a Texas-Tyler baseball t-shirt on someone in the Montgomery County (PA) mall.
My dad said he past a woman in the grocery store (Lombard, IL) a couple of week ago, and she was wearing a Mount Union sweatshirt. He just happen to be wearing a Whitewater shirt under his coat.
He said he couldn't help but take his coat off when she walked by...I guess she got a kick out of it.

Later in the afternoon I was at the grocery store and and I see a guy wearing a Wittenberg sweatshirt...he had just watched it as well...was a great conversation...He coaches HS football now at my HS rival...his wife taeches and coaches at my old HS...was great fun to talk with both of them...
He played DE for Witt...
Last weekend for my trip to McMinnville, OR for the Linfield - UST game, I stayed with Linfield poster swede. His guest room is becoming a veritable museum of Linfield and D-III memoribilia. He has stuff from all of the NWC schools as well as St. Johns, Gustavus Adolphus, Hamline, & Concordia Moorhead of the MIAC. He has stuff from Wisconsin Whitewater, Beloit, Coe, Wartburg, Mount Union, Cal Lutheran and McMurry. This is just the stuff he has put out so far.

Wow, where have I been, eh Ralph? Thanks for the update.
So Pep accompanied 30 Alfred University students (including Saxon football players Andrew Small, Milton Harding, Vinson Hendrix, Jerry Bond, etal) on a Spring Break Collegiate Challenge trip to Florida where in three days the crew built a house from concrete slab to finished roof.
En route, the bus, its second day on the road, made a stop for lunch off Exit 49 of I-95 near Darien, GA. Pep walks into the KFC/Taco Bell along with some others and hears a young man say, "Go Saxons!" Pep went over and met one Ryan Dona, an Ithaca Bomber who played for Welch 2002-2005, going 4-0 against Pep's Saxons. Dona, now a resident of Charlotte, NC, was taking his brother to Daytona Beach for Spring Break.
On Saxon Warriors!

Pep has been to that Habitat for Humanity store in Charlotte...where they've got a neat little coffee shop tucked in the corner. In fact, Pep's Alfred University Habitatters spent a night at a church youth house in Charlotte as arranged by the manager of said store. Pep Jr., an AU grad, teaches 6th grade math at Eastway Middle School in the "inner city" of Charlotte. A good number of Alfredians are transplanted in the Charlotte area.
Can I suggest to Pep that he start a new dictionary for "Words That Might Not Be Actual Words But Should Be"
First entries could be - Habitatters, and Alfredians
+k to you and your "Alfredian Habitatters.+

Pep will need to consult his Funk & Wagnalls to figure out what the heck Pep has done now!
"Alfredian" has long been used for "a resident of Alfred, New York"
"Habitatter" is what Pep calls his AU student members of the campus chapter of Habitat for Humanity
And, as a matter of fact, Pep plans to prepare potatoes for a coming Habitat for Humanity fund-raiser, a food booth accompanying a silent auction art show in conjunction with Alfred University's Annual Senior Art Shows May 8. Pep has already used the term "Habi taters" for said potatoes.

The coffee shop, or more specifically the used book area attched to it, was our reason for being there. My wife likes to buy books from them and then donate back when she finishes them. And if your son teaches at Eastway he deserves hazardous duty pay. It may not actually be inner city geographically, but the overall vibe of the school couldn't be any moreso. Bravo to him for trying to make a difference.
I was stationed at Ft Monmouth, NJ back in the 70's with an Alfredian then. Don Mesick (I hope I remember the spelling). Good guy. I assume all Alfredians have similar endearing qualities.
Not sure if this fits here, but as I was driving home from work last night in downtown Roanoke, I saw a Keith McMillian clone stick his head out the window of the car next to me. (at least I assume it wasn't the real Keith)
Mind you, it didn't look like present-day Keith; it was Keith from, like, seven years ago. Looked kind of like the person in his D3 mugshot. ;D ;D

She is clearly not a D3 fan, because she would have known the difference. Wheaton College Illinois is in the CCIW, their baseball coach is Lee Driggers and they play football. Wheaton Massachusetts doesn't play football and is in the NEWMAC.
What I would have loved to have seen was a panorama of the faculty and students when she mentioned those other Wheaton alumni before the Wheaton Mass audience.

And why was the cast of Family Guy featured on Inside the Actor's Studio in the first place?

Mount Union football tee-shirt, worn by a high school kid who had attended camp there. Waiting in line for the Top Thrill Dragster, I spotted the kid, a couple of lengths back in the queue line and said, "Hey, do you play for Kehres?" The kid replied in the negative, saying that he attended high school football camp there.
Another guy in the queue line just one length back heard the conversation and piped up, "I played for Kehres." And so, Pep yielded his place in line so as to embark in a lengthy conversation with a tailback who had begun his football career at Akron, transferred to Mt. Union and, unable to afford the tuition there, went to Youngstown State where he was a walk-on until the entire coaching staff was fired.
Other colleges seen on shirts: Oswego State, SUNY Oneonta, Kenyon, plus some from places with which Pep is unfamiliar.... "O" and "M." Not sure where they were coming from. ;)
Well...
It's also pretty common to have a shirt of the place/school you've visited.
I've seen all kinds of D III shirts in an area with a rival team, let alone a shirt in an area that doesn't have a team.
I live in Houston, Texas. The shirts I see out here - LAWD!
I was at breakfast this morning and saw a young woman wearing a SCAC shirt. I stared at her as she walked across the room and saw all the schools listed on the back, but I don't know anything else about the shirt.

On the first we went to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, 'Salute to America' performance at Greenfield Village (about the sixth consecutive year we've gone). No better way to spend the 'Fourth'! Fantastic music, always culminating in Tchaikovsky's
1812 Overture, then Sousa marches throughout the fireworks. This year's grand finale was the most incredible, but briefest, finale I can ever recall - about 60 firings in a 5 second period! :o

Did anyone see a Wabash t-shirt in St. Louis this weekend. That was me!
Wasn't in St. Louis this weekend, but I was in Yong-in, Korea, just outside of Seoul at the Everland Amusement Park. My daughter and I shared a boat with a 20-ish looking Korean girl wearing a Franklin and Marshall T-shirt while riding the Amazon Express. Following the ride, she looked very nice all wet!! ;) Walking out of the ride, passed a different (obviously) 20-ish looking Korean girl waiting in line at the same ride wearing a John Carroll T-shirt. Oh, BTW, my daughter commented she looked very nice all dry!! ;)

F＆M is one of the top apparel brand in East Asia．
Almost people don't know F＆M and exist it.
That might explain all the Franklin & Marshall stuff I see here. I thought it was one young lady who is always where I am!! Some kind of signal, if you know what I mean. ;)
I also see a lot of UW-La Crosse shirts -- maybe for the same reason.
Spotted a St. John's specialized Minnesota licenses plate near the IL/WI boarder...south of Milwaukee. Wonder if he took notice of my UWW alumni sticker as I passed him ;D ;)

Last weekend for my trip to McMinnville, OR for the Linfield - UST game, I stayed with Linfield poster swede. His guest room is becoming a veritable museum of Linfield and D-III memoribilia. He has stuff from all of the NWC schools as well as St. Johns, Gustavus Adolphus, Hamline, & Concordia Moorhead of the MIAC. He has stuff from Wisconsin Whitewater, Beloit, Coe, Wartburg, Mount Union, Cal Lutheran and McMurry. This is just the stuff he has put out so far.

Oh snap. Now that I have new rooms to decorate, I guess I've got to try to rival that.
Will post photos at some point.
Seeing D3 stuff all over this summer.
-- Bethel hockey in Nags Head, NC
-- Have seen Oberlin twice (maybe the same vehicle) and Hiram on cars in the D.C. area
-- Saw a bunch of UMHB shirts on people on K Street a month or so ago. Thought they were Hardin-Simmons at first.
-- Grinnell in D.C.
I think a couple more that escape me at the moment. I always think of you guys and this thread whenever I see someone though.

Come on K-Mack, UMHB has been fully co-ed since the early 70's, and men have taken classes at UMHB for much longer as Campus Boys. The campus Boys worked on campus and were allowed to take classes, but not graduate. Heck, I went to UMHB in the 80's.

Oh. Oops.
In my world, no football = not coed. I get so confused when my friend tells me he went to Xavier.
Here in Central CA the school where I teach had a speaker today for all 9th graders. His is an incredible story of essentially being abandoned and homeless at 14 with younger siblings. The gentlman's name is Roy Juarez, Jr. A little over a year ago he graduated from Hardin-Simmons. He is now on a speaking tour and touching kids. It was incredible watching them.
His assistant is a stout looking young man so I asked if he played ball for the Cowboys and he indeed did for a couple of years before injuries sidelined him. His name is James Alvarez.
They are traveling around the country in what they are calling "Homeless by Choice" If you get a chance to see and listen to Roy, by all means do so.

WINCHESTER, VA. - The last major GE factory making ordinary incandescent light bulbs in the United States is closing this month, marking a small, sad exit for a product and company that can trace their roots to Thomas Alva Edison's innovations in the 1870s.
The remaining 200 workers at the plant here will lose their jobs.
...
Winchester VA is the home of Shenandoah University.
Seen on ESPN, from Callaway Stadium, LaGrange GA,
the ESPN High School Game of the Week, featuring Carver (GA) and LaGrange (GA).
D3 fans who have been to LaGrange GA will recognize the stadium as the home of the LaGrange Panthers.
The stadium is less than 1/2 mile south of the LaGrange campus, down Forrest Avenue.
We had that game on while I was bartending tonight. I glanced up at the screen and got excited thinking ESPN was actually showing a Division III game other than the Stagg Bowl. Unfortunately I quickly realized it was a high school game.
In the Cowboys-ChiBears game, the announcers showed a short clip of Cowboy TE Doug Cosbie. An old film clip shows him coaching the TE's at Menlo College, back when they were one of ours.
I've noticed a Coast Guard sticker and a Coast Guard license plate holder on completely separate occasions since returning to the D.C. area from Coast Guard :)

As she'd stopped over with the Global AIDS Director, I asked her if she was from Atlanta (CDC) to which she replied, "no - a small town in Indiana, Greencastle. Have you heard of it?" Just answered her, "47-0" and grinned.
Her jaw temporarily dropped, then laughing she said - "please, don't even say it..." and opens her bush shirt to reveal a DePauw "T". "Heh, heh - Wabash, m'am and your shirt is missing the common name of those birds that return to Capistrano." ;D Great evening of laughs and suspect she'll be back from "the Bush" to visit a few times during her research sabbatical - not many DIII types over here among the stuffed shirt, Ivy elites at the Embassy.

Yes, they do. It was a hot topic about 10 years when
Tim McGraw wore this shirt (https://edisk.fandm.edu/occ/magazine/autumn01/au01_story2.html) for some publicity photos.
The clothing brand doesn't use an "and" in its name.
On my way home from the store, I pulled up behind a car with a University of La Verne license plate frame.
Saw a Claremont McKenna t-shirt, a Williams window sticker, a Wash St. Louis window sticker, and a raft of Oberlin gear at the Oberlin College graduation today.
Like shooting fish in a barrell!

NYU decal on the back of a VW in Tyler, TX
Millsaps College sticker with an unreadable law school sticker in Longview, Tx 6/2
Saw a Menlo shirt in Dayton, OH (where the day began) and then a Coe soccer shirt and equipment bag in Phoenix, AZ (where the day ended) yesterday.
Was walking around the Duomo in Florence, Italy when I saw a guy with a Stagg Bowl 2010 t-shirt on. I stopped and asked what his connection was and he told me that he had officiated this year's game. I had my Wabash t-shirt on and it was a nice D3 moment half way around the world!

The clothing brand doesn't use an "and" in its name.
Actually, some of it does; some of it doesn't...it all depends what you're looking for in "fashion!" See HERE (http://www.asos.com/Women/A-To-Z-Of-Brands/Franklin-Marshall/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=6825&r=2)
The brand was established in 1999. It's actually an Italian clothing company, not South Korean. They may have been sewn in SK at one time, but not anymore. Founders were Giuseppe Albarelli and Andrea Pensiero, not exactly your typical korean names!! ;) They got the idea after finding an authentic F&M sweatshirt in a London second-hand market. I've occasionally see 20-something girls wearing the brand here, but not all that often. It's much more popular in the UK. Franklin & Marshall Clothing Company owns the brand name in all countries except the U.S.A. where the company is a licensee of the college name but is in no way affiliated with, or endorsed by, Franklin & Marshall College. This is way more than you need to know, but I thought I had to set the record straight.
Saw a guy at The Campsites at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort Meadow Pool with a Baldwin Wallace Basketball Hat on.
His and her Gustavus shirts at the Safeway in Kensington, Md., last weekend. There's also a Carleton guy who lives around the corner and belongs to the same neighborhood pool.
And the Hobart folks down the street still have one of the longest, weediest yards in the 'hood.

I know of two or three Chapman students in the Dallas area.
No other SCIAC students that I can think of.
One apparently lives on my street in Allen, TX
There goes the neighborhood. ;)
Its a little unsettling, ETBU, Chapman, LeTourneau all on one street. Could be newsworthy after the weekend!
Hampden Sydney car magnet in Ocean Isle. Bridgewater baseball shirt in Margaritaville last night.
Was visiting my family down in the Chicagoland area and saw a guy wearing a St. Thomas hat. I guess his kid is currently attending there....
I've had a remarkable offseason in terms of seeing D3 represented in places. Mostly in the D.C. area I've seen Heidelberg and Muskingum, Beloit and Kenyon. Saw Ithaca twice -- on a little kid's shirt in Va. and on a grownup in Pa.
UAA and NESCAC are common in D.C., as is anything within a four-hour drive (Hopkins, CNU, Gettysburg). Just saw a Colby car sticker on the way in today.
I think my weirdest one this offseason was a DePauw Cheer backpack on a guy in D.C.
Nothing will beat the customized Browns Trusnik jersey though I don't think.
Saw a Lake Forest College sticker in Concord NH. Oh, that was mine.
Saw a DePauw shirt at the Bloomington farmers market on Saturday.
That's Bloomington, Minn.
Saw a Luther College shirt at the WHITEWATER fourth of July carnival.
Cornell Shirt at the gym in Overland Park, KS.
Amherst Rugby "Hoodie" at Crusaders/Stormers match @ Newlands in Cape Town last Saturday afternoon - owner had been exchange student from Stellenbosch Univ a few years ago and worth a couple pints postgame

Ahh, the New Englander's way to say Gambier.
Your correspondent has no New England accent but was born and spent the first 21 years of his life on Bellflower Road in a now long demolished house which was right next to the current Phi Gam house.
"Oh my" indeed.
60 Minutes tonight is doing a segment on homeless vets in San Diego. One of them was wearing a Baldwin Wallace shirt.

Another Kenyon today on the way in. That's the third sighting of them in D.C. this month.
Saw a UW - Eau Claire shirt at a St. Louis Cardinal game tonight.
Last week, saw an SUV decked out in Mount Union stickers on the West Virginia Turnpike just outside of Beckley.
The D.C. area is always a gathering place of lawyers, lobbyist, etc. and therefore one finds many proud owners of college shirts around town. Of course one also has many visitors and summer interns in town during the Summer. One of my favorite t-shirts relates more to the town rather than the college......Amherst where the only the "h" is silent!.

Millikin bumper sticker in Burnsville, MN on Sunday.
Coach John Gigliadra got mentioned today on Around the Horn on ESPN
Saw an Albright sticker on a car in Ocean City, MD. last week. Which is not that far afield, but I was kind of amused because it was on a car with Maryland plates - and PA plates way outnumber MD plates in OCMD!
Last week I saw a distinguished-looking older gentleman with an IWU 2010 Homecoming t-shirt and an IWU baseball cap at Bar Harbor, Portland, and New Gloucester, Maine.
Oh, wait, that was me. :D
(Since the family camp on Sabbathday Lake - down a few hundred yards from the last active Shaker community - has no indoor plumbing (I was ambivalent when cousins added electricity! ;)), 'distinguished-looking' may be a stretch. Passers-by may have been surprised that I wasn't diving into dumpsters for returnables! :D)
Anyway, I'm back from God's country. There I had a lake 20 feet from the camp, but it struggled to break 70; here it pushes 90 and I have no convenient lake! ::)
Roanoke College window sticker on an SUV right down the street from my house in Charlotte.

In Oregon (Linf/Willam/Pacific country) I saw a Colby window sticker, a Monmouth and Bethel shirts (correct color combos for D3), and fourth thing. I need to start writing these down.

I believe that I saw "Case Western Reserve University", all 4 words. :)
Bethel University was at a college fair tonight in Belton, Texas.
Last Saturday was my most unusual sighting:
A Trinity University (TX) seat cushion at the 14th Annual Jazz at Chautauqua jazz party in Chautauqua, NY. When I asked the seat occupant about it, he said the front desk at the hotel loaned it to him. So if any of you Trinity fans is missing a seat cushion, you know how to get it back. ::)

Wartburg decal on the Toyota Corrolla in front of me in Janesville, Wi. today. Actually it's the second time I've seen it.

DePauw Tigers shirt at George's Bar in Waco, TX.
Middlebury Lacrosse jacket on a shopper at my regular grocery store in Charlotte.
Loras College window sticker in traffic in Charlotte. Also, Juniata College sweatshirt on a shopper at Lowe's in Matthews, NC.

Doesn't count until a poster reports a sighting - perhaps a Linfield flag on his yurt?! ;D
THEN we can debate the relative extremities of Botswana and Mongolia! :P
For the present, I'd say that Botswana blows my side-by-side Amherst and Williams stickers at Lake Louise (see p. 2) totally out of the water!
Perhaps the unbeatable sightings would be any d3 school spotted in North Korea, or an old Wheaton Crusaders t-shirt in Mecca! I won't hold my breath waiting for those! ;D

Not D3, but I was in Machu Picchu in 1980 and I saw a local with a t-shirt that said "Illinois Red Sox". :o
Sometimes while writing I put on the Jazz station via cable because I need some background noise but lyrics distract me.
So I happened to look up during an Oleta Adams/Al Jarreau duet, and the on-screen factoids said, one after another, that Oleta accepted a scholarship to Pacific Lutheran, and Al graduated with a psych degree from Ripon.
D3 randomity.
Driving through Ashland, AL the other day and saw a guy walking down the side of the road wearing a Kalamazoo College sweatshirt.
Saw a Westminster (not sure which one) sweatshirt on a young lady at the Texas A&M - San Antonio campus.
Was watching our local news (Milwaukee) and they were doing a story on people trying recall our governor. One person they showed protesting had red St. John's hooded sweatshirt on.
Those Johnnies are always causing trouble ;)
I can beat the Illinois Red Sox T-shirt. I have a my friend from England sent me a Liverpool Red Sox T-shirt. John Henry bought out the Liverpool Soccer team. They are pretty common shirts over there I guess.

A truly great show. Too bad it is ending in a few months with the retirement of Garrison Keillor. >:(
It was the show you referenced. I wouldn't have mentioned it except for the football spoof with a donor trying to endow some Viking players for St. Olaf.
He has retired before and came back. Maybe he will do specials.
St Olaf's choir has their yearly Christmas show broadcast on PBS TV.
Pat and I have killed many a road trip listening to that for portions of the ride.
I know I posted last year that the school where I teach encourages students and staff alike to wear college shirts on Thurday and I posted photo of a colleague and myself. Well we have added to the d3 club at the school. DePauw, Linfield, Crown, Oxy and Willamette shirts worn in Central California.

The Rev wonders if F&M realizes all their stuff is being knocked off without any licensing fees paid?
Yes, they do. It was a hot topic about 10 years when Tim McGraw wore this shirt (https://edisk.fandm.edu/occ/magazine/autumn01/au01_story2.html) for some publicity photos.
The clothing brand doesn't use an "and" in its name.
Actually, some of it does; some of it doesn't...it all depends what you're looking for in "fashion!" See HERE (http://www.asos.com/Women/A-To-Z-Of-Brands/Franklin-Marshall/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=6825&r=2)
The brand was established in 1999. It's actually an Italian clothing company, not South Korean. They may have been sewn in SK at one time, but not anymore. Founders were Giuseppe Albarelli and Andrea Pensiero, not exactly your typical korean names!! ;) They got the idea after finding an authentic F&M sweatshirt in a London second-hand market. I've occasionally see 20-something girls wearing the brand here, but not all that often. It's much more popular in the UK. Franklin & Marshall Clothing Company owns the brand name in all countries except the U.S.A. where the company is a licensee of the college name but is in no way affiliated with, or endorsed by, Franklin & Marshall College. This is way more than you need to know, but I thought I had to set the record straight.
Interesting background. I've never seen this brand anywhere except Korea, so I thought a Mr. Kim in some alley in Itaewon got a sweatshirt from some young lieutenant years ago and started making knockoffs.
But if it's a popular brand in Europe, it doesn't surprise me that it's popular here in Korea, too. Koreans are berry current with fashion.
I guess it's been awhile since I last visited this board. Yikes!
Today in Walnut Creek, CA while at the Container Store I saw a young lady wearing a Lewis & Clark swestshirt. As I left the store a young man wearing a Principia shirt walked by. When I got back to the car there was a car in the lot with a Claremont-McKenna Alumni license plate frame.
Saw a car at my local grocery store today with window stickers for both W&L Football and W&L Equestrian. What impresses me is that somewhere in Charlotte there is a family that is apparently paying for two kids AND a horse to go to Washington & Lee. :)

I find it funny that a lot of D3 fans (like ourselves) feel obligated to stop and talk to someone if they have any D3 paraphernalia.
Glad to see I'm not alone :)
Lycoming Football Staff jacket on one of the parents of the 5th and 6th grade girls team that the Stalkerettes 5th and 6th grade girls team beat last night in a good game.

Clearly the Constitution isn't popular with the police in Tennessee either.
A former student of mine as well as Wesleyan (CT) football player and alumnus is interviewed in a story here in Modesto, CA about a new business where he is the manager. The fact he is a Wesleyan alum is mentioned in the story. http://www.modbee.com/2013/02/16/2582217/modesto-laser-tag-business-lets.html
Earlham T-shirt at Fish Fry in Worthington (Columbus). I talked to the mother. Her older daughter considered Earlham before picking Kenyon.

I have this older picture up in our spare bedroom (probably take in 2007) of us at Wrigley Field for a Cubs game. Just the other day I finally realized there's a girl in the background with a Knox College T-shirt on.
A kid here at Korea Maritime University in Busan was wearing an RIT sweatshirt and cap.
Of course I talked to him. He spent a year there as an exchange student.
On a recent trip to California last month I saw a Carnegie Mellon window sticker on a car near the Marina in San Diego.
I also met a guy in Santa Monica wearing a U of Chicago sweatshirt. He had gone there for his PhD in biology.

There's a Lids warehouse store here in Indianapolis. It's got a lot of stuff like shirts, polos, shorts, team warumups, coaching gear, etc that was printed for specific schools and teams that was returned for one reason or another.
I've picked up some really cool D3 stuff there the last few times I've been. It's mostly schools within a few states like Carthage, Heidelberg, Hope, Alma, Ill Wesleyan, Wash U, Coe, and Wittenberg. But, I've seen stuff from D3 schools all over. Managed to pick up Southern Maine volleyball and Occidental baseball yesterday. I'm now a D3 shirt hoarder. ;D

Saw a group of kids from Ithaca on the Price is Right yesterday.
Birmingham Southern window decal on the back of a car at my favorite grocery store in Charlotte.
I saw a guy with an RPI sweatsuit on at the barbershop one time and talked to him about it. He played basketball there, was surprised because few people in Va have ever heard of it despite it being a really good school. (union grads cringe here)
Then a few months later, I saw a guy with an Albertus Magnus suit, but I couldn't remember if that was NAIA or III. Turns out he was a recruit, and it was interesting to overhear a kid's impressions of D-III.
Today Rochester car decal and girl crossing the street with a Navy top and Ithaca sweatpants.

I saw a UWSP sweatshirt in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I'm sure it is a common sight in that area, but it is my first UWSP sighting.
I don't know if any other schools have done this so it may not be that unusual, but today I saw a sign for the local Adopt-a-Highway program saying that a particular stretch of road had been adopted by the Charlotte chapter of Roanoke College alumni. Well done, Maroons.

Several years ago we stopped for lunch in Ohio on a trip to Minnesota, and the waitress, noticing my wife's St. Olaf sweatshirt, inquired, "there's really a St. Olaf ?" (apparently she was thinking of Rose Nylund's [aka Betty White's] fictional home town in The Golden Girls).
Last week - Lynchburg College window decal while stopped at a light in Charlotte.
Today - Kenyon window decal on a car in traffic, also in Charlotte.
St. Thomas sticker on the side of a car just outside of Milwaukee.

Was it the correct Augustana?

A DePauw alum sticker on a car in Frankort, Il. I only noticed it because my daughter was wearing her DePauw shirt that day.
A Franklin and Marshall shirt on the UCLA campus today.
Saw something this afternoon that I thought was very cool. I went a local high school's play outside of Milwaukee. And in the foyer area they had flags/pennants of each college/university that all the 2013 seniors plans on attending. Let me say DIII was well represented.
Apart from the numerous DIII Wisconsin schools I saw, here's some other DIII pennants from other parts of the country:
Benedictine
Juniata
St. Thomas
Augustana (the correct one)
Washington U.
Vassar College decal near Santa Monica.
Spotted a few St. Thomas shirts and banners over the weekend. I'm almost to the point where I'm going to stop reporting St. Thomas sigtings on this thread. I seem to come across them more frequently than most other DIII schools in Wisconsin.

Not out of place, but I saw a Hendrix T-shirt on a guy at the Little Caesars Pizza in Tyler TX. His sister gave him the shirt and he was aware that the Warriors had beaten Westminster MO last weekend.
I told him about D3football.com, d3hoops.com and d3baseball.com and the other d3sports sites. Hopefully he logs on.

We live about 320 miles from Twin Cities. Waverly is about half way between our house and downtown Minneapolis. Since the Iowa/Minnesota board is so close, it wasn't all that startling to see an automobile with Wartburg vanity license plates at the Hyatt parking ramp in downtown Minneapolis last weekend. The strange part was discovering the couple in the car live about four blocks from our house and we didn't even know them.
A Rose-Hulman Track & Field shirt last night in Midtown Sacramento
It's been a busy last couple of days for D-3 sightings. I saw Washington U. of St. Louis on two separate cars in Charlotte, plus a young woman with a Carnegie-Mellon tee shirt at our favorite Thai restaurant.
A man in a coffee shop in the Point Loma area of San Diego last week was wearing a red shirt with a small black "W" with a cardinal on it. I went back to ask him about it. It was from Wesleyan. I should have known, but none of the "W" schools I hear about on a regular basis just didn't fit. :-[
Carleton College was a question on Jeopardy this week.

Typical Mainiac driver - they tend to consider traffic laws as just suggestions!
Was out with my players this morning selling discount cards and saw the name "Gagliardi" on a mailbox in Hudson, FL.
Washington & Lee window sticker on an Audi while driving in Charlotte. Interestingly (to me anyway), the SUV in the adjoining lane had a VMI sticker. I know it's not a D3 school, but since the campuses also adjoin each other in Lexington I just thought that it was, well, interesting. :)

This is different but I think it fits here. On Reddit's Map Porn board is the picture of E.E. Cheeseman's 1938 Map of American Football. Several now D3 schools made it onto the map. http://i.imgur.com/wPrzKM2.jpg (http://i.imgur.com/wPrzKM2.jpg)

A few weeks ago I ran into a guy wearing a Berry College shirt at the local HEB. We had a nice chat. I told him I used to live in Atlanta and dated a girl who attended Berry College. He said he was in Belton visiting a niece who attends UMHB, so he knew a little about the school and their football prowess. Small world sometimes. 8-)

At a gas station in Rice Hill, Oregon I saw a car with window stickers for St. Olaf College and Claremont-McKenna College.

The other was to identify the college that merged with Leonard Case's school. "Houston" was incorrectly answered (questioned?) for the first. And a contestant was mislead by the shortened form Case Western and responded "Western University."

I see the Rams no longer have swimming. When was it dropped?

Really got a kick out of seeing Depauw Tigers window decal on a Jeep driving on Wooster Rd. in the Akron area. Depauw...Wooster..oh well - I thought it was funny. Must be a D3 thing.

Met a young lade at one of my clients with a St. Lawrence lunch bag.

Late on these two: Brandeis hoodie and MIT visor at USGP in Austin.
Today, Tufts t-shirt in IKEA, Round Rock.
NYU decal and a decal for University of North Texas on an SUV in Tyler. What do those have in common?
My first thought is that they have very good performing arts programs, especially UNT's One O'clock Lab Band.
Red Carnegie Mellon hoodie at my local, Atlanta grocery - and it sure as heck wasn't Ex-Tartan sporting it! ;D
Johns Hopkins window decal (with Blue Jay) on an SUV at my favorite grocery store in Charlotte.
Macalester bumpersticker in Milwaukee.
Personalized license plate with "USMMA 68" while driving through Strasburg, VA on Saturday.
Dude in an Earlham College sweatshirt in Manual Antonio National Park, Costa Rica.
Today one of my physics students showed up for the final wearing a Calvin College Knights shirt. Another had on a Lewis & Clark Pioneers shirt she said was for motivation. :)
This doesn't really fit this thread, but nevertheless a random DIII moment occurred when I wasn't expecting it. I met my wife for lunch at a local Buffalo Wild Wings outside of Milwaukee today. And of all the sports stations and TVs they have at their disposal, they were displaying the replay of the Linfield/St. Thomas semifinal game from last week in the bar. Not only that, it was being displayed on the largest flat screen they had. Usually that TV is reserved for the big games or local games...anything but a D3 semifinal replay! I got a kick out of the patrons looking up at the screen with the "what the hell is this" look on their face.
I would have even found it odd if they were re-airing a previous UWW game (at least that's kind of local being that it's instate)....let alone a replay of D3 football game that had little to no interest to anyone miles from where I was.
That had to have been the first time where I've seen a D3 sporting event - of any kind - being aired in a bar, when I wasn't expecting it. And it was a replay...not even live! I just found that fascinating.
(Then again if they were re-airing the other semifinal game instead, I would have turned to my wife and said "We're eating someplace else" before sitting down) ;) :'(

ESPNU replayed the game (I think they also replayed your game at some point). Likely the bar just had on ESPNU and paid no attention other than OH FOOTBALL

Yeah, I actually phrased it in a way that usually annoys me. Like when people say "We" are going to win today. Well, you aren't actually on the team so....
Several D3 sightings as I was driving around Charlotte doing last-minute shopping on Monday:
Hampden-Sydney sticker on the rear window of an SUV in the southern part of the city.
Denison College sticker on another SUV about two miles farther along the same road.
Hopkins Blue Jays sweatshirt and W&L tee shirt in the crowds at our largest local mall.
A Sweet Briar sweatshirt in Cafe Brazil in Dallas this noon.
She was with her freshman sister. See story in General section.
Wash U StL license plate holder, seen outside the NorthPark AMC in Dallas.
Probably watching "The Force Awakens".
Wittenberg alum sticker at Community South hospital on the southside of Indy.
A University of the South decal on a BMW in the church parking lot at Marvin United Methodist Church in Tyler! Wow. Who is that guy, I wonder.
St. John's shirt in Hawaii
St. Olaf shirt in Milwaukee airport
Eau Claire hockey team in Phoenix airport
A Cal Lutheran license plate holder on a sedan headed westbound on the Atchafalaya bridge (on I-10) in Louisiana.
St Olaf sweatshirt at the WARHAWKS/La Crosse men's basketball game in WHITEWATER.

It doesn't annoy me and admittedly I'm as guilty of it as anyone. What is interesting to me is the words we use. When things are going well we use words like "we", "us" and "my guys" but when things sour it's "they", "them" and "those guys."
Trinity (TX) ball cap on gentleman I played golf with yesterday at White Wing, Sun City, Georgetown, Texas. Not a big deal since San Antonio is a couple hours south on I-35. His daughter was a graduate. But where it got interesting is that I learned he had played football at Merchant Marine and his son swam at Ohio Northern. I was wearing my CWRU cap, which I now alternate with a newly acquired Southwestern one.

I met a retired professor and coach from Holland MI. (He was a Simpson College alum) in Gulf Shores AL.

Hang on to it, Ralph! I'm still a 'Huron', since the Hurons themselves wanted EMU to retain the name (despite the activists who were probably descended from enemies of the Hurons, or more commonly were whites feeling guilt, like my office mate ::)).
'Indians' is more a toss-up (though I recall you saying the local nations were all for it), but when the designation is tribal-specific, I would think they would have say-so. My office-mate and the EMU President (who was shortly the ex-President, though not for that reason) did not agree. The fact that the Huron (and Wyandotte - the Canadian affiliated tribe) both lobbied for the name to remain Hurons had no effect. While I think opposition to 'Political Correctness' is usually a code for 'let us abuse niggers, wetbacks, camel jockeys, etc.', there are times where PC DOES go too far.
Trying not to get political, I would say that Mr Ypsi's perception is one of the reasons we have such division. To make a statement like that means you would rather demonize those with whom you disagree, rather than understand their actual thought process. Maybe if you believed that others were wrong, and not have evil intentions, we could come to some sort of understanding. Once you question others motives, you are basically cutting off all communication.

Mr. Ypsi, you know that
everyone who plays football in TX is a stud. ;) There's good football here, there's not-so-good football here; it's not one of the hot spots like the D/FW or Houston areas but it's fertile ground for recruiting nonetheless. Round Rock is one of the 'burbs just north of Austin.
Found a golf ball today at White Wing Sun City Georgetown Texas with logo "UMPI Owls." Took me awhile to figure out Maine-Presque Isle. I am a d3 geek.
A student (had him as a 9th grader) walking down the hall had a Pacific Football shirt on. He said is going there next year. Also saw a minivan yesterday with a George Fox University MOM sticker on it.
I was over at my father-in-law's retirement center yesterday, in Matthews NC, and the car parked next to me had decals for both Randolph-Macon Women's College and Randolph College. I didn't see the owner, but given where it was I'm guessing that she was a graduate when it was still RMWC and maintains her ties even after the name change.

So Pep is planning in mid-July to take a solo cross-country three-week trip from Saxonville to the west coast and back with the itinerary including stops in:
Bicknell, IN
Lawrence, KS
Tulsa, OK
Austin, TX
Roswell, NM (Carlsbad Caverns)
Phoenix, AZ
L.A.
Yosemite National Park
Pendleton, OR
Bozeman, MT
Mount Rushmore, SD
St. Paul/Minneapolis, MN
Lac du Flambeau, WI
and back to Alfred, hopefully within three weeks!!!
The trip will serve as somewhat of a re-enactment (albeit a very different itinerary) of a family cross-country campiing trip Pep took back in 1966 that lasted three weeks and was such a memorable experience that Pep's siblings still talk fondly of our travels. Pep has purchased a number of accessories in order to turn his PT Cruiser into an RV or a one-man mini-house on wheels and is looking to set up camp when he's not staying with friends.
Pep enjoys visiting D3 stadiums...given Pep's tentative itinerary, are there any D3 venues that are "must see"?
Meantime, Pep will try to document all the D3 shirts, stickers and decals he encounters in his travels....

Indeed, Pep has already received an invitation for a personal tour of the Cruthedral topped off with some Texas style BBQ!! Sounds like a plan!
In Auburn today, a car with personalized Texas A&M plates, CRU 12. Was it a '12 grad of TA&M whose initials happen to be CRU or a '12 UMHB grad who is a TA&M fan? Does Texas have UMHB plates?
ETA - Just checked and UMHB does have one but it's kind of plain looking. They have them for Auburn and U of Alabama and many other non-Texas schools. There are also some High School plates, crazy.

Us Texans feel the need to show off our school pride as much as humanly possible haha. I say that as the proud owner of UMHB plates that say THECRU. Not sure how other states do things like this but one cool thing is a good chunk of the money to get the specialty plates goes to a charity usually connected to the school or group.

Unfortunately, Virginia doesn't have Maryville plates, so I "made" my own: "Dont Tread On Me" (Gadsden flag) tag with MURVUL. People get the hint when they notice the Maryville College Alumni sticker in the back glass...

Well, if you're travels take you near/through the Twin Cities then there are a number of facilities worth visiting and if you take a tour of them it's even better.
If you're traveling to/from South Dakota then you can stop in the Mankato/St. Peter area (on Hwy 169) and see two very nice facilities
1) Blakeslee Stadium - Minnesota State University Mankato. Ok so it's D2 but the field of this stadium is the nicest natural grass field in the USA. There are no weeds and the grass is packed so tight that you need to use TPU cleats and not detachable cleats on this surface. It is perfect - better than any field turf or mondo field in existance.
2)Gustavus Stadium - Lloyd Hollingsworth Field. Just up 169 from Mankato is St. Peter, MN and Gustavus Adolphus College. This is a very nice, new, D3 stadium. Decent sky boxes, great seats, and a very nice field. My son looks forward to playing for the Gusties this fall on this field. From Mankato to Minneapolis this is on the way so might as well stop in.
If you're traveling to/from North Dakota on 94 then you need to visit Collegeville
3) Clemens Stadium - St. John's University. This natural bowl and former cranberry bog has turned into a fantastic place to watch football. Also some of the nicest people I've met have been at St. John's I was there to watch the Tommy/Johnnie game last year. What a zoo when you have 17000 fans at a D3 game.
If you happen to be about 30 miles south of Minneapolis/St. Paul on I35 then drop by Northfield to see
4) St. Olaf College - they are getting a new field (mondo surface) so no more grass. The stadium itself isn't special but the football building on the west side of the end zone is. This fairly small building is all football. Locker room, Football office, player lounge, meeting rooms, weight rooms - it's all football. My son loved his recruiting visit to St. Olaf and was impressed with this facility - what a great place to play football.
5) Carleton College - Laird Stadium. I use to hang out in this stadium as a kid. It use to hold a 220yrd indoor track, handball courts, sauna, and a weight lifting cage. Us townies would sneak in and train in the weight room and on the track since our Jr High and High School didn't have weight facilities at the time. After a flood a few years ago they remodeled the inside of the stadium and it's now a very nice football facilities (offices, weight room, etc). A few vestiges of the old indoor track remain. As for the stadium, when first developed there was talk of Carleton being a part of the Big 10 and so the stadium was designed and built along the lines of the horseshoe at Ohio State. The property was designed to hold a horseshoe but they only built one part of it which is the stadium you see now. Quite large for D3.
If you're in Minneapolis/St. Paul you can see a number of great stadiums, all different, and all most all of them are very close to each other. You can see all of them in an afternoon.
6) University of Minnesota - TCF Bank Stadium. Ok, so it's D1, it's real nice and if you can take a tour the locker room is wonderful. It's worth seeing though.
7) Edor Nelson Field - Augsburg College Stadium. Just south of the University of Minnesota is D3 Augsburg. They get high marks for finding a way of converting a parking lot into a football field where one side is adjacent to a busy freeway. They also manage to put a dome over it for the winter. where else can you miss kick and have a ball end up in a freeway. Small, cramped, but lot's of fun, decent facilities and a great place to tailgate (city park next door to field).
8) Seafoam Stadium - Concordia University, St. Paul. Ok, Ok, you're on your way to St. Thomas from Augburg so you might as well swing past Concordia and pay homage to your boat's fuel additive. D2 facility, field turf, has a dome in the winter. Not a bad facility.
9) Klas Field - Hamline University. My son played an 8th grade title game on this field. Attractive Stadium, decent turf. My son use to train winter baseball in the field house - very nice facilities. The basketball facility is very old school and wonderful. Great Track and Field facilities and coaching.
10) Macalester Stadium. The new Leonard Center is really the Jewel at Macalester and a major upgrade to their facilities. The stadium is decent, very open, good seating, but bring your own refillable water bottle as they've gone green and don't sell throw away water bottles. There are dorm rooms in the stadium - interesting. My son was heavily recruited to play here and really like the coaches, players, facilities, and program. Pretty campus.
11) O'Shaughnessy Stadium - University of St. Thomas. Nice old stadium with very modern facilities built up around it. Great place to watch football (been to many HS football games there). If you stop by see if you can take a tour of the facilities in the Anderson Athletic and Recreation Complex. Great weight room - great football S&C coach. A locker room that puts many D1-FBS power 5 conference locker rooms to shame. Not quite as opulent as the Gophers but getting close (lots of big screen TV's and game controllers). When they were building the Anderson Student Center, just south of the stadium, the administration had it moved 40 feet to the east so the windows on the upper floor function room would a line dead center with the football field. When they're playing in bad weather, parents of the players and VIP's can move into the student center to view the game and stay dry. Got to love St. Thomas athletics!

So Pep is planning in mid-July to take a solo cross-country three-week trip from Saxonville to the west coast and back with the itinerary including stops in:
Bicknell, IN
Pep has purchased a number of accessories in order to turn his PT Cruiser into an RV or a one-man mini-house on wheels and is looking to set up camp when he's not staying with friends.
Pep enjoys visiting D3 stadiums...given Pep's tentative itinerary, are there any D3 venues that are "must see"?
Meantime, Pep will try to document all the D3 shirts, stickers and decals he encounters in his travels....

Perhaps Pep should add some wood grain siding and repaint his plum PT Cruiser to a lime green....and go to Walley World!

Lawrence, KS

L.A.
Yosemite National Park

Bozeman, MT
Mount Rushmore, SD
St. Paul/Minneapolis, MN
Lac du Flambeau, WI
and back to Alfred, hopefully within three weeks!!!
The trip will serve as somewhat of a re-enactment (albeit a very different itinerary) of a family cross-country campiing trip Pep took back in 1966 that lasted three weeks and was such a memorable experience that Pep's siblings still talk fondly of our travels. Pep has purchased a number of accessories in order to turn his PT Cruiser into an RV or a one-man mini-house on wheels and is looking to set up camp when he's not staying with friends.

So my wife and I were visiting old D3 friends in Des Moines this past weekend... Huge outdoor art fair on Friday night, Huge farmers market on Saturday... I people watched my way thru 1000's of people, all the while looking for a D3 shirt... I figured I was in the heart of Iowa Athletic Conference territory, and amidst some of the Midwest Conf schools, even kind of close to the SLIAC's Iowa Wesleyan....WOE IS ME... NOT A SINGLE D3 jersey spotted... the closest thing to D3 I saw was a Waldorf University shirt.. No Simpson, Central, Loras or the rest... What a Disappointment... (though I was reminded of old home days when I spotted a South Haven, Michigan tshirt....) :(

As in the Webster University Gorlocks? Seems like ages ago now, but Pep's Saxons edged the Gorlocks in an earlier matchup in Sports Illustrated's Campus Rush Division III Best Mascot Tournament.
The Saxons are on the verge of capturing the national championship, currently leading the Vixens of Sweet Briar College by a 58% to 42% margin with voting to wrap up tomorrow morning.
On Saxon Warriors!

I spent 8 days at the USA Track & Field Olympic trials at the University of Oregon. I was surprised at the number of d3 shirts I saw. There were a number from area schools, but I also saw De Pauw Lacrosse, Occidental T&F, Cal Lutheran, Salisbury, Tufts t&f, Hampden-Sydney, Roanoke College, North Central t&f, Delaware Valley, Wartburg, Catholic, Oberlin, Carleton, and talk to the assistant track coach from St. Joseph's College-Maine.

I saw a George Fox University shirt at the Stanislaus County Fair.

Pep, while waiting for the gates to open at Chase Stadium in Phoenix for a Diamondbacks-Nationals game Aug. 1, spotted a "Wabash College" shirt. Pep asked the young man wearing the shirt whether he was a student there.
"No, but I'll be starting there this fall," the young man replied.
"So are you from Indiana?"
"Yes, I live in Muncie."
"Ahhh yes, it was Muncie Central that lost to Milan's Indians in the 1954 Indiana State Basketball Championship...you know, the real story behind the Hoosiers movie," I offered.
"I know all about that!" the kid replied, "My grandfather played for Muncie in that game! He's sitting right over there."
Hearing that, I rushed over to the gentleman and told him I was pleased to meet one of the players from that famous basketball game and that I have in my possession a collector's DVD set that includes video of the actual game.
"I've got that DVD as well," he said.
Hoosier neighbor? All of them are neighbors.

It is actually in the fine print of the standard D3whatever.com contract. Once you have been an intern, you have a 99-year commitment to recruit for D3.

The Alfred Sun has a good number of subscribers in Texas, including one in Tyler. A former Alfred University administrator who took a job at Southwestern and who has since retired lives in Georgetown. Also in Georgetown is a long-retired Alfred Prof.
Pep wouldn't mind visiting in Texas (again) in a few weeks. If the Saxons can get through this Saturday, I'll be one week closer. Funny that Pep visited the Cru stadium a few months ago, long before there was any hint that the Saxons would pull off a perfect 10-0 season in the rugged Empire 8!
On Saxon Warriors!

Nothing special about seeing a Wash U Bears sweatshirt, tho'.

A variation of an old Southwest Conference (SWC) /Southeastern Conference (SEC) joke that happened when the Arkansas Razorbacks moved...
A football player could flunk out of Hobart and enroll at Clemson and raise the academic profiles of both schools.
I saw a guy with a Wheaton shirt at the Consolidated Gold Mine in Dahlonega, GA over the 4th of July. He said he's a 2000 alum and was visiting family in the area. He immediately noticed my UMHB cap and we struck up a lengthy conversation about football (including his dismay over their loss in the playoffs, which he was able to stomach a little easier when the Cru won the Stagg). It's such a small world sometimes.
Been in St. Pete Beach, Pass a Grille, Terra Verde for 2 months, always on the lookout for ANYTHING D3, and continually failing... no, I don't hit too many bars, but a lot of Beach time, shopping at Sam's and Homegoods and various Marketplaces, and hitting a variety of restaurants... but darn NO D3...
FINALLY today, driving back to the condo from (gulp) church, with my wife.. spotted a licence plate holder (holding Florida plates) boldly advertising...
North Central!!! Given it's Red lettering, I'd be assured it was the Cardinals of North Central (Illinois), not the Rams of North Central (Minn.)
Well it's a small world... only my second sighting of D3 in St. Pete, and it's a young lady wearing the t-shirt of my Alma Mater, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute!!! A very talkative young lady, turns out her brother went to RPI, was a "computer nurde", and got a great job in NJ upon graduation 3 years ago... no, not an athlete!!

I was down in San Antonio last week for a job interview. The place I interviewed at is huge, so I kept my eyes peeled for any D3 references. In the visitor's parking lot alone I saw 2 (!) different vehicles with the same exact Rhodes decal. One had a license plate from here in TX, and the other from TN.

Funny.... I rarely see DIII stickers here in AL. BSC because it's in town, some Sewanee, but not much. I was visiting my parents in Ocean City NJ a few weeks ago and on the boardwalk I bet I saw a shirt or sweatshirt or car sticker from every NJAC, NESCAC and MAC college, most of the Centennial, most of the E8 and LL, and a variety of others. I've lived in the South for so long I forget that all those NJ kids scatter to liberal arts schools. Down here if it's not Alabama or Auburn, or when I lived in Florida, FSU or UF, you just didn't advertise that you were going.

Craziest thing I saw (wife needs to share me the pictures)... while driving the Baltimore Beltway (I-695) on a Friday afternoon... a bus that had a livery completely decked out in Thiel stuff. I assume it was a Thiel bus. Gave me a great opportunity, while trying to figure out what they were doing in that location, to give my wife an idea of how you say that school's name. :)

Sorry, I'm only a sporadic listener, and obviously missed those shows. To the best of my knowledge, IWU has never played "Teal", so had to go by sight and guesswork. After a whole career at a school with a high proportion of foreign students, I pride myself on pretty good guesses on pronunciations, but it is less than infallible. :P

Sorry, Dave. I really respect what you do, but aside from live sporting events (and SOME NPR shows), non-musical radio tends to work better than Sominex on me! :-[
That I EVER listen to Hoopsville is a tribute to your broadcast, but don't push for miracles! ;)
Well in that case I promise to do two things:
- Play more music, if not the entire broadcast
- Help you go to sleep :)
That said... I don't listen to much talk show based stuff either. It's my dirty little secret.
Oops.
this last page got me looking at the D3Hoops standings page to see if I could pronounce every name...there are some interesting ones out there in Division III for sure, I think I can say all the New York/New England/New Jersey, most of the Mid-Atlantic, but I got stuck on ones like Redlands and Northland, do you hit that A or is it like Maryland...nothing sounded right when I tried to say Gustavus Adolphus, Fontbonne or Averett.
That should be the next feature to be added to team pages. A little audio button like on wikipedia where you can hear a clip of the pronunciation.

Well, as a Johnnie, how confident are you in your comparison with Mount Union? You can't possibly be worried RHIT will win straight up, even as an HCAC homer I wouldn't pick Rose without a bunch of points, considering Mount beat RHIT 66-14 to open the season. I'm betting St John's will want to make sure no one gets hurt heading into a playoff run, but they certainly wouldn't risk ending the season on a sour note (and if Rose beats Hanover the week prior they'll be in the playoffs so would they take it easy knowing they're likely headed for another brutal road game in round 1. If they lose to Hanover then I'm sure they'll go all out).

(I think that the current owner bought the SUV 2nd hand.)

Not really a shirt/sticker/decal, but I just found out that one of my neighbors played ball at Swarthmore before the program was shuttered. His wife seemed a little put off by how excited I was to talk about DIII football once she told me.

Well, that is too bad and a shame. That is also her problem and she'll just have to deal with it-she's an idiot. Good for you! We can always "out discuss" people like her!
For lack of discussion on the E8 board, I'll offer a piece here. I embarked on a 2016 three-week solo coast-to-coast trip in my 2002 PT Cruiser that took me from RI back to western NY, then west with stops in Vincennes, IN; Lawrence, KS; Tulsa, OK; Belton, TX; Carlsbad, NM; Phoenix, AZ: Los Angeles; Pendleton, OR; Bozeman, MT; Collegeville, MN; and Lac du Flambeau, WI....
While in Phoenix, Pep had tix for a Nationals-Diamondbacks game which, after visiting a Cardinals open practice at U. of Phoenix Stadium with Alfred alum friend, we arrived early for the MLB encounter (featuring Stephen Strasburg pitching for the Nats). Waiting in 100° F. heat, I opted to walk around the stadium to the gate closest to our seats, while alum chose to stay put. "A race to our seats was challenged."
Arriving at the more distant gate, I spotted a "Wabash" shirt. Approached the young man and asked if he attends Wabash. He replied that he would begin classes there that fall. Then inquired whether he was from Indiana. He affirmed, "Yes, I'm from Muncie." Being a Hoosiers movie fan who in 2004 had researched the "real story" vs. the "screen story," I remarked that "Muncie is the team that lost to Milan in the 1954 Indiana State Basketball Championship!" The guy replies, "Yes, I know, my grandfather played in that game and he's sitting right over there!"
Pep made a beeline for the older gent to shake his hand. May have said something like, "It's an honor to shake the hand of a famous loser." ???
On Saxon Warriors!

Guessing I'm due for a trip to the Deep South. Been hearing great things about Alaskan Cruises and, heck, everyone should experience Hawaii at least once in a lifetime, right?

I have, for years, when traveling or otherwise out and about, looked for D3 college/university representation in the form of clothing and automotive display. It was much more fun during Mount Union's football championship heyday (Kehres years) when seeing someone wearing something from a school that I knew to have a good D3 football team. So many, any more, do not know that their alma mater has a football team or knows how good they might be ... (or worse ... LOL!) never heard of Mount Union!

Down here in Aruba, a few days ago ... on Palm Beach (Barcelo Aruba Resort).
This big older dude was sauntering into the water and I was able to catch the "...berg" on his burgundy ballcap." I kept twisting around to read the other side of his cap, and at the same time that I saw it was "Muhlenberg," he confirmed my Mount Union ballcap (he had been looking funny at me for several seconds).
First comment, basically, was "We almost beat you!," referencing the 2021 playoff overtime win by the Purple Raiders.
Nice chat about D3 football followed. Turns out he played for the Mules in the early '90s.
Glad that I was able to share some sun and sea with him.
(Ran into him and his fine family later that night at dinner, their last full day on the island [like mine right now as I type this], so I let him kiss the 2017 alumni version of the Stagg Bowl championship ring ... LOL!!!)
Now ... if anyone reports seeing an old guy doing tandem skydiving over Aruba in a Mount Union Purple Raiders Football shirt on July 6th, that was me!

I know people in both areas, but I don't think any of them attended St. Joseph's.
I first saw the Maine license plate and was surprised, almost shocked. Can't remember last time I saw a Maine plate around here, if ever. Then my eyes went up a little to the level of the back window, and I got another surprise when I saw the St. Joseph sticker. Maybe the student's parent(s) visiting an aunt/uncle, grandma/grandpa or other relative in this area.
High odds seeing both a Maine car, and a St. Joseph sticker in Naperville for sure.
