Hey folks, non-southerner here super excited for the Hardin-Simmons Hardin-Baylor game. Just wanted to double check that the game will be free to stream or will it be behind a paywall? Thanks!

53 players in a school of 370. WOW. Truly remarkable. I sure hope they get a win this season. Maybe it will be on the 23rd against Crown.
Finlandia really needs a successful football program to keep the school open.
Any idea what their retention is? I see a lot of players from the southern part of the US, it's gotta be tough to keep those kids coming back to the U.P. enough on it's own, but especially if you are losing by a ton.

Trine football opens at NAIA Indiana Weleyan on Sept 18 in Marion, IN. Not sure if it will be a "real" game or just a controlled scimmage. Trine also plays home to NAIA Judson on Sept 26 and at Adrian on Oct 3. I don't forsee them scheduling any more than these 3 games in the fall, but then again everything is very fluid in the world of sports these days.
If I remember correctly, Adrian Coach Jim Deere mentioned playing Trine twice during the d3football podcast.

Yeah, probably, Pat! My attempt at levity (poor). 🙂 Although, I was also relating somewhat today past history, as you know, since a couple of member schools have been reprimanded for not confirming to conference unity. One way before even my time, that of Hillsdale being kicked out of the league back in 1960 for playing in post season bowl games!
Wow I had to look it up to because I've never heard that story. https://i.imgur.com/yMKCZr8.jpg
Next question is: Hillsdale was called the Dales?

General football / Re: Historic DIII Top 25 Polls

Wow, good to know Pat. I am pretty surprised that no one was doing top 25s before the 2000s, but I guess it makes sense in how regional D3 football was until the widespread use of the web. Thanks for the heads up. I am doing some updates to D3 seasons on wikipedia a, trying to add as much information as possible.

General football / Historic DIII Top 25 Polls
November 20, 2019, 04:25:47 PM
Does anyone know where I could access old top 25 polls for D3 football? I can't find any archives on AFCAs website and D3football.com only goes back to 2003. Any other publications or services I should look at?

Can't say I expected Adrian to win, but am happy with the result. Great job Bulldogs. Looks like Kzoo hung in there with Hope the first half.

The cached site sure doesn't show anything that screams parody account.

Here's a question just for the sake of asking it (although, IMO, it is legit)...Will Adrian part ways with Deere like they did with Lyall if the perceived "mediocrity" continues as it has? They did so for Lyall for exactly that reason, similar type of records during a stretch.
I have no idea the inner-workings or sentiment at Adrian these days but it wouldn't surprise me if AC fired Deere. Lyall was fired after a 6-4 season and posting a record of 55-25 over his final 8 seasons. If you were going to fire him for wins and losses, it would have been long being that. My understanding of it was the new administration was expecting more than just average to above average. Again, I have no idea what's going on over there today, but it wouldn't surprise me if he was let go after another .500 or below season.

I only watched about the first quarter and a half of the Adrian game and it was mostly barf as the score indicated. The announcers mentioned that we are starting all freshmen and sophomores on the O-line, which could be great for the future but rough now. The loss of Stewart and McGaw is tough to fill. Not sure how much to read into that game as Heidelberg has had some recent success in the OAC. Anyway on to Hanover, go Bulldogs.

Spurred by a question on Reddit, I have been trying to find out if Wittenberg had any players on both the 75 football national championship and the 77 basketball nation championship. If so, they may be the only person to win both championships. A player from Ferris St. has the opportunity to do it this weekend. Anyway, I am having no luck finding rosters from those teams. I can find a few names of the start basketball players, but no full roster of either. If anyone has any sources, I would appreciate it.

It's not a big surprise they didn't, but I was hoping to Kzoo get a vote for top 25. I know their schedule to this point hasn't been great, but I thought a win over Adrian and then Albion might raise a few voters eyebrows. They have a winnable game with Alma this week and then a gauntlet to finish; Olivet, Hope, Trine. I'm rooting for them but I think a final record better than 7-3 would be a big surprise.

Kalamazoo with the upset in Albion, maybe they are legit. I think their success is great for the league, shake things up a bit.

Thanks for the updates TUAngola. I didn't watch it but Adrian on Homecoming, oof. Nice to see Kalamazoo get another win, even if it was Findlandia. They have a tough rest of their schedule, I will be genuinely curious if they can win these games against the top half of the MIAA.

Hello OAC board! A user on reddit posted a spreadsheet of Massey ratings across all divisions of football. Naturally, I went to see were Mount Union was rating and it had them at 269 ahead of several FCS and D2 schools. Being ahead old D2 schools didn't really surprise me but the amount of FCS schools really did. I know there are a handful of FCS schools who are non-scholarship but the majority are. I know this sort of discussion is best served in the off-season but wanted to get some reactions. Is MU a better team than say Fordham? There are also several other D3 schools down the list that are higher than some FCS teams.

Thanks for the post, good to see that JCU is better than a number of D2 and occasional FCS team. Which strictly speaking means that when I played I was on the top half of all O-Lineman in college football... I call that a win in my book.
Don't forget how good you were increases with the length of time since playing. Even though Adrian is 300-something, the fact I played OL there in the early 2000s pushes me up significantly. So, I would probably be in the mid 100s now. Benefits of growing older.
