Dynasty...

Seriously...do the numbers.  The chances are that 80 percent of the schools in D3 aren't represented...that number is probably even higher because some teams have multiple reps who all deserve them.

You have to get your head out of the MAC and recognize the rest of the biggest division in college football.

There are other divisions in D3?

...Where?  I'd like to see that....

[Dynasty07]

apparently i hit a sour note... lets move on

[PBR...]

>>>Pat, you need to forgive certain posters who seem to think that the MAC has the next Mt. Union or St. John's or Linfield -- or a Wittenberg or a Mary Hardin-Baylor or a Hardin-Simmons or even a Texas Lutheran. Wilkes, Widener, and Delaware Valley do nice things, but they're not [yet] world-class venues. <<<     no offense warren but the last i looked this is div III football I wouldnt consider any div III venues world class....i go 3 hours to the west of me several times a year to penn st. games when i want that....

Not to fear. It was just a bit of hyperbole (or, as we pronounce it here in Lebanon County, "high-per-BOWL-ee" or, less frequently, "high-per-BOWL").

In Chester county we are not allowed to use such big words...(It would be vain)


Hope all is well.

Just checked out the site for the first time in a while.  I'm not sure I understand why the All-American team has been picked already.  I see 11 season previews posted so far, so how is the selection for this team done? 

[Pat Coleman]

The preseason All-American team has always been picked in the preseason. We pick it off the 2005 All-Region nominations.

[Foot]

I wasn't suggesting that it should be picked sometime other than the preseason...but how can you know who the coaches are expecting to be playing for them with so few of the previews submitted?  Things come up and kids need to quit the team or leave school, seniors come back for an extra year...

[PBR...]

foot, preseason selections should be taken with a grain of salt basically they are meaningless they are all based off of the previous season and expectations of the upcoming season....but everyone needs to prove themselves again. kinda like the mutual fund warnings i.e. past performance is no guarantee of future results....basically a few pub's did it to sell info in what was previous down time and this forced everyone else to follow suit...you have to look at the source pat and d3 really try to do their homework and research other sources just throw names up on a wall to see what sticks....

We inquire as to those things every July. Usually we get answers.

The Eagles are at Lehigh.  Football is in the air.  The Phillies are out of the playoff picture.  All is good.  It is August soon, and the 2006 season is soon at hand.  Welcome home everyone.  We missed you.

I was told that Todd Fairlie recieved a red shirt year and was returning to WU. He was a member of your ALL American team last year. I  thought he might have made your preseason team.

Unfortunately, we were not told the same, so it makes it hard for us to have selected him.
