In football, Vermont could go the D1AAA (i.e., D1AA non-scholarship) route. Given that they are fairly competitive in all other D1 sports (and highly competitive in D1 ice hockey), I don't see them moving up to D3 competition.

But do we really think that Middlebury would play them?

We grouse about the NESCAC every season.

Middlebury resides in a galaxy "far, far away" from us mere mortals ....

Vermont hockey isn't all that great. It's been a while since they've made a Frozen Four.

But they are a decent Eastern team ...

Careful - let's not do something that might benefit the players.

You guys hit about all my thoughts on the Vermont thing.

Their basketball team, coached by the guy who led Catholic to the title in 2000 (I think, Pat could speak a little more to it) is pretty successful these days too.

Only the I-AA non-scholarship scenario makes much sense, and even then it was a reach just so we could fill out the non-con Vermont skeds, right Frank?

Plenty of schools in Mass. and N.Y. that will need games.

The big question is will the NEFC champ draw the NAC champ in the playoffs and drub them

My initial guess is Husson and Norwich will be the contenders to start out.

I don't know when the last update of our running D3 famous alumni list was, but I found two over the past two days in regular copy-editor research:

Myles Brand, Ph. D. Rochester (in addition to undergrad RPI)

and

Wally Pipp, Catholic (CUA) ... Pipp famously lost his first base job on the Yankees in 1925 to some whippersnapper named Lou Gehrig.

Well Wally should have taken a couple of aspirin and played with a headache.

Anyone who has copies of the past two Stagg Bowls in any format, please let me know. I would like to watch both games this week, prior to the third straight UWW-MUC game.

Although I have a fairly extensive Stagg Bowl library, I do not have either of those games.

E-Mail: Keith@D3football.com

[K-Mack]

Repeating my call, and adding another:

Hey,
Anyone who knows of any prominent MUC or UWW alum planning to go to the game Saturday (and by prominent, I probably mean ex-players, but be creative), drop the name and probable arrival time to Keith@D3football.com. Might respond with a request for more info.

Also, I have several Stagg Bowls on video, but I do not have the access to the past two. If anyone has those games in full, especially either on DVD or online somewhere, please let me know at the same e-mail address.

Thanks.

Me too..............although recovering slowly from all the festivities and indulgences of the season.     Happy Holidays to you, Keith and hscoach.  Great first installment of the Review. 

[Ron Boerger]

Me three ... good job on the installment, K-Mack!   

[K-Mack]

Thanks guys. Good to know you're out there.

It gets much better. I think they go in order, 1-3, as far as most fun stuff in the installments. The third one is all our awards and funny memories from the year.

Sorry it takes so long, was really trying to get them up earlier this year. I mean, December is nice, but ...

[KitchenSink]

You went from the central core out to a lot of corners of the D3 HQ to put together that piece, K-M.

A great read.  Nicely done.  Looking forward to the next one ....
