They're trying to kickstart a replacement Arena Football League, should give some D3 guys opportunities to play if they can make it work.  "Arena Football 1", as it is known, will have 16 teams and is not related to the defunct AFL or the afl2.    2010 start ...

There is a full-page picture of Pierre Garçon making his TD grab against the Cards in the October 5th Sports Illustrated ... p32.

That is great publicity for D3.  I have heard several times when Indy plays on TV that Pierre is from "D3 Mount Union".

My wife and I are Alumni of both UMHB and HSU.  You think you are confused, my kids don't know which Purple and Gold team to pull for.

 Larry Beavers was at the Wesely game yesterday but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to talk with him about his pro tryouts.
Football !!! The ultimate team sport. Anyone who plays DIII football is a winner...

I had hoped the UFL would have a little more D-III representation but it looks like a LOT of Division I and former NFL retreads.  But there are a couple D-III guys besides he aforementioned Bryan Robinson.

California Redwoods:

Whitworth's TE Micheal Allen
Wisc. LaCrosse's DB Jeremy Unertl

Florida Tiskers:

No D-III'ers

Las Vegas Locomotives:

No DIII'ers

New York Sentinels:

Gustavus Adolphus' WR Ryan Hoag
Colby's OT Daniel Oliphant
Wesley's DL Bryan Robinson

Nice interview with Jerheme Urban

It is a nice interview - even if they blew a caption - says he attended "Division III Trinity in Dallas, Texas".   :(

Wow, think of all the gas and travel time I would have saved IF Trinity were indeed in Dallas.  Can I get some 'carbon-credits'?

Jason Trusnik got his first NFL start today with the Browns.  He turned in a 4 tackle day with a sack.  Good to see him getting more playing time since the trade to Cleveland.

He needs just 27 more sacks and 1130 tackles to be the all-time D-III alumnus leader.

Rumor has it that former Wesley WR Larry Beavers is working out for the Dallas Cowboys.

Fred Jackson of Coe had an excellent day returning punts and kickoffs for the Bills.
