Some props to Hal Mumme, McMurry head coach who is quoted in the current Double Issue of Sports Illustrated on Texas high school football QB's and their prevalence as strating QB's in 24 of the 120 D-1 programs.

RE: the lastest Front Page Poll that was posted.

Before the game is was about 50-50 for UWW and MUC.  Final Poll was much more heavy for UWW but the poll wasn't taken down till 9:00pm.  How many of the votes were cast after the game was finished?

I'd be curious also.  I checked it a few times just before and during the game.  I didn't take notes, but seem to recall the number of voters had not reached 5,000 at kickoff (when things had been trending MUC's way, and they were up about 51-48 [where the other 1% went, I don't know!]).  By halftime, UWW had gone ahead, but things swung back Mount's way in the third.

nice recap by kmack.  was surprised that JHU didn't have more of a mention as one of the "memorable teams of 2009" given their somewhat "historic" play-off run.

It's been a while, but maybe I mishandled that. I certainly thought the finish against Thomas More was one of the memorable endings since I've been doing D3, and I saw the Wesley-JHU game. Hmm.

I think I remember paring the year in review down a little bit this year though. Even though it was still two parts.

You guys know what June means ... time for us to start planning Kickoff! (yes, really)

This is what makes me sad, and sometimes disinterested, in D1 football:

Said linebacker Adrian Moten: "We put last season behind us. We're trying to get back in the BCS standings, and that's the key to the whole year for us."

Really? At least in D3 you can aim for the playoffs and a shot at the championship.

Nothing says it's almost football season more than K-Mack posting again in the ATN topic.

True.

And although my grass out front is knee-high, my laundry pile is overflowing and my kids have forgotten my name, nothing says "I actually get to post again" like Kickoff being released.

I appreciate the UMAC getting a little love with Scholastica winning the top play of the week, but how did the UMAC manage to become the only conference not to be covered by an "Around the Region" columnist?

This weeks ATN doesn't list the #1 team in the land, UW-Whitewater hosting NAIA Dakota State of Madison, S.D. (Dakota Athletic Conference).
