Anyone know where I can find Division III All Time Career Statistics/Records?

I tried to google it but came up empty.

Actually, this one will probably work better:

Thanks JK.  Hard to believe neither of the Housler brothers or Rocky made the Don Hansen AA Picks...

What a travesty!  Maybe Rocky will come back for an 8th year to right this obvious wrong!


Sorry Cap fans, I just couldn't resist.

If you go to the North Region version of Hansen's AA lists you'll find Thom Hausler as a 3rd team Punt Returner and Honorable Mention D Back and Rocky as an Honorable Mention QB along with Vrable. Not saying I ever gave much thought to Hansen's lists, just pointing out where they landed. I always felt that if you put 400 plus kids on your All-American teams you've really avoided doing the hard work.

Ah yes good old Don Hansen.  It's a shame some of his pre-season picks didn't make the post-season list.  Let's not forget he had two graduated Polar Bears on his pre-season list in 2006.  That's all I need to know regarding the validity of any list he endorses or releases.

It's something to talk about since the off-season is slow, but Don Hansen is about as informed and knowlegable  on Division III football as Ric is tall.

[Kira & Jaxon's Dad]

Nate Kmic was a first team RB and a second team AP.  What is an AP?

PK-Place Kicker, PR-Punt Returner, KR-Kick Returner, but I don't think I recall ever seeing a Football position of AP...

[JK]

I would guess AP is All-Purpose.  Usually a RB-WR-KR-PR-maybe DB type who gets in on the combination of Rushing, receiving, and return yards (KR, PR, and/ or INT).

That's my guess.  Not sure if it is right, or how Kmic qualifies since the bulk of his yardage was rushing, and if that is good enough to make the team as AP player, then why not just include him as a RB and leave the AP for a "return specialist."

Wow.  Don Hanson must really be an idiot!

I'm not necessarily saying Don is an idiot.  I am saying that Ric is pretty short. 

[Small but Slow]

While browsing through the link kirasdad provided to the NCAA record book, a number jumped out at me.  When LK became head coach at Mount in '86 Gaga had only been head coach at St. Johns for 37 years. 

[Small but Slow]

I meant Coach Gags.  I need to do a better job editing my posts.  Sorry.

[Kira & Jaxon's Dad]

Small,

You can edit your own post, even after clicking the "Post" button.  Just click the "modify" button and make your changes... 

Also, JK provided the link, I can't take his credit.

Ric stands real tall around here.
