Around the Nation board

And as the games get closer, that list will fill out.

And as the games get closer, that list will fill out.

And, unfortunately for their supporters, some schools won't update the list.  From time to time you'll find a game being broadcast only by going to the school's own football site. 

[Pat Coleman]

Well, for football, with only 240 programs instead of 800, we do our best to get them all in.

The process for schools to post links has gotten much easier with PrestoSports over the past year-plus.

Uhh --- huh? I don't remember any spreadsheet. Wish it were that easy.

It might have been a Word doc but I remember Gordon doing it that way one year.

Pardon if this has already been discussed elsewhere, but are y'all planning to resume the ATN podcasts this year?

[Pat Coleman]

I don't think we've talked about it on the boards but we will continue to do the podcast. Look for it next Monday. I think some years we've done a pre-Week 1 podcast but this year we had too many other things going on.

Awesome.  Thanks, and I'll keep an eye out for it.  Great job on Kickoff, by the way.

I'm baaaaaaack.

And covering about everything I could have missed.

Thoughts?

Very nice ATN. I'd assume many people find these boards and the D3 sites when their team is doing well, and I'm no different. I picked up here last year when W&L had a great year and have been an avid follower ever since. I'm happy to see ATN back. It really is a nice place to read up on some stories in D3 that you will never find anywhere else. Finding a place with well-written, feature length, articles on D3 issues week in and week out is simply fantastic. Thanks for doing such a great job.

Welcome -- hope you stick around! Spread the word, too, among your fellow W&L fans, alumni, parents, whatnot.

I second this.

Also feel free to drop a line, suggest a storyline, etc. anytime. We're not too busy to interact with you.

Bethel wasn't listed on your team colors list. At least as far as my eyes could tell.

Navy Blue and Gold (think typical Notre Dame or Navy type unis). Although we now go all white jersey's and pants for the away games.

And I know exactly what you mean about the fall smell. It's my favorite season for just that reason. The crisp feel of the air, the turning of the leaves and the scent takes me back to every autumn afternoon from 6th grade through senior year. What an experience, one I wouldn't trade for the world.

Interestingly, while the school colors are maroon & white, Trinity (TX) has new home unis that are black with silver numerals and helmets.  The only thing maroon is the logo on the helmet.
