The night before the Stagg Bowl makes perfect sense.  Built in crowd as 90% of the folks coming to the Stagg would attend it too.  Would make the perfect D3 weekend even better!

And you gain at the parents and players for  the Bowl game

Some of us ATN readers have a denial system to maintain, and reading the copy boy cub reporter complaining "Good Lord, I'm old" is not helpful.    

Are the Regional Rankings out this week?  I thought they weren't due until next week.  Wouldn't you love to be the fly on that/those committee's wall(s)?

You beat me to it.  As someone nearing his 40th reunion, would those younger than some of my sweatshirts please stop with the "I'm so old" routine!

K-Mack,

I know where you went to school.  I am an HSC fan first, but I pull for other ODAC teams when they are not playing the Tigers.  I am encouraged by the improvement of RMC over the past couple of years.  It makes The Game mjuch more interesting when it is competitive.  I played on Stokely Fulton's last 4 teams and I have a son on the Tiger team now.  The battles against RMC when I played were memorable.  The past several years before last year did not live up to the past tradition.  Keep up  the good work.  But,  I do think that you have to have more than one double digit reunion before you can call yourself "old".

High school's in my rear-view mirror (I abstained); college in 2 years (undecided).

Old is a state of mind. Or in the eye of the beholder. Something.

I guess I'm not old compared to true old guys, just old compared to my old self.

I don't believe the committee technically has any walls; I assume the rankings are done by conference call. And yes, I would listen in if in fact I could hack into it were permitted.

"true old guys?"

How about a nice, hot cup of SHUT THE HECK UP?

To quote Yoda, "shut up the heck, you must."

Re: Sponsor for all-star game

NAIA just picked up Russell Athletic as sponsor for its championship.

WHAT??? Did YOU SAY SOMETHING?  KEEP IT DOWN WILLYA, I AM TRYING TO WATCH THE WHEEL!

Well, yes, it is ... until Arthur and his brother Itis come calling and you have to have a knee replacement.

Or when one of the kids you coached in high school is now the head coach

D3's sponsor(s) probably have to be the same as the NCAA's overall sponsor. In other words, if Division I is running a big thing with Coke, we probably couldn't go out and get Pepsi (or more fittingly, RC Cola) to help us out.

In effect, the NCAA men's basketball tournament in March is the D3 sponsor.

It's possible though, as an outside organization with the NCAA's permission, someone could put it on.

We could raise the price of Kickoff to $49.99 and do it ourselves! (kidding)

I think this week's topic is very much love it or hate it. I'm eager to see which (and I will interpret silence as hate)
