This is what it's all about: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0kc7W9jtpg

The team's excitement on being announced is at 1:50. We're all so proud of our young men! Go Colonels!

Thanks SaintsFan. It's a great opportunity right? Maybe we can play that game the third week of November next year.

I get to buy at least one more general admission ticket! Early Christmas present.

Go Colonels!

Thanks jk. There are so many nice folks on this website who possess a great enthusiasm for Division III sports and who are so willing to explain what seems to be a pretty complicated system. I had no idea all that's involved.

But as someone pointed out, thank goodness for the money passed down by the NCAA from the revenue-generating Division I tournaments. Otherwise Division III athletics wouldn't have the impact on so many young lives as it does today.

So if the organization/structure is lacking a bit, at least there's the money, right? OK, gotta run. I'm going to video chat with my boy! Good luck to all.

C'mon guys. Let's try to keep this positive. I read what Parent said. My filter works a little better than his (sorry D3AP). But he's just voicing the same frustrations many of us Centre-folk are feeling and saying a little more forcefully what has either been intimated or questioned in several articles on the Division III website. "Our panel votes for Centre next, eliminating drama the same way we hope the national committee does after creating it unnecessarily this week."

The last few weeks have been an emotional roller coaster for our seniors, including my son. They're having a great season but facing the end of playing the game forever. Then within 10 days or so, they learned the team didn't automatically qualify to play, saw themselves ranked below other teams unexpectedly, then seeing that rank drop again a few days ago. It's tough on them going from a game decided on the field to one decided by the opinions, some of which don't make sense to many.

We hope the NCAA thinks our team worthy to play on like we do. But either way, our community is filled with wonderful people. And we're going to keep this positive and love on them all we can and celebrate an historic season.

Go Colonels!

Way to go Colonels! Woo hoo! We're all so proud of you. Lets hope the NCAA sees what we saw with you this year and gives you a chance to keep playing until somebody proves they're better! So excited.
