D3 vs. D1/D2/NAIA/NCCAA

[smedindy]

Why is Texas-Pan American playing a sampler platter of D-III teams this year? Are they trying to trick their fans into thinking these are D-I teams they are playing?

UTPA has always been an 'island' - unwanted by conferences because of past reputation and distance and they really can't get people to play there. They're now in the "Great West" - the island of misfit D-1 toys.

You know if Ashford ever played Simpson (which really they could being from Iowa and all), I wonder how many song puns I could work into a recap...

I don't know but that match up would be solid. Solid as a rock.

Golf clap, sir, golf clap...

A squirt gun that shoots jelly would make a fine mascot.

Keene state falls to Nova Southeastern 86-67.
LEC goes to 43-15 against non conference opponents (according to the stats posted by Hopefan), but their 74.1% winning percentage is still good enough for 4th.

[smedindy]

I think that's D3 vs. D3, so this loss wouldn't affect that percentage.

Hey smedindy, did you know Ashford and Simpson have a DIII connection?

I believe the oldest of their two daughters, Nicole (daddy Nickolas, imagine that?) graduated from Wesleyan University (CT), in the mid-'90's. I have a niece who attended Wesleysan at the same time.

[smedindy]

I...I did not know that....
