D3 vs. D1/D2/NAIA/NCCAA

[David Collinge]

Obviously, you mean St. John's (NY) not St. John's (MN).    Otherwise, that's a heck of a roadie for a weekday exhibition game!

...and St. Mary's (MD) not St. Mary's (CA)!

[smedindy]

Derp! Of course!

[AO]

Not to be confused with conference rivals St. John's (MN) and St. Mary's (MN).

... which might be still too far to travel for a midweek scrimmage.

[ronk]

American(Patriot) 62 - Randolph-Macon(ODAC) 61
Florida(SEC) 114 - Catholic(Landmark) 57

[Mr. Ypsi]

Valparaiso 74, Augustana 65.

[hopefan]

Southern Illinois Edwardsville (SIUE) 70   Blackburn 56

In the Palm Beach Post today they wrote about the Florida / Catholic game with the angle that Billy Donovan's son plays for Catholic.

Have not seen this anywhere officially, but Point Special reports a couple of Twitter feeds saying Carthage downed d1 NIU, 74-70 in OT.

Also, don't recall seing it here but Randy Mac lost to American U by only 1 point a couple of days ago.  (OOPS, reported just a couple of posts above. )

They are both, of course, scrimmages, but still quite impressive.

They are exhibitions, though. A little better than scrimmages for legitimacy.

True.  I still have troubles remembering the difference between scrimmages and exhibitions.

Scrimaages are glorified practices.  Exhibitions are 'real' games (they just don't count).  Someday I will get that straight!

Don't worry, there's plenty of confusion (for some) later too... we're still in the preseason...

D-1 programs do tend to have multiple cows if they can't beat a D-3 team, though.
