For those of you that don't make the rounds on this board, there was a pretty good story in USA Today on D3baseball in the metrodome and another in Time on Caltech this month. Basketball I think.

I don't have the links handy, just thought I'd mention.

On the front of D3 football.com, there's a Pierre Garcon story BTW :)

There was a blog in the Chicago Sun Times covering Wheaton College's Andrew Studebaker as he works to recover from surgery towards the NFL draft.

South Florida Sun-Sentinel did a story on area players trying out for the Dolphins today, including Pierre Garcon. Since it came across our news feed I have the power to feature it a little more prominently at my day job, so I did. :)

I thought we had a thread about Turf but could not find it.  Decided to post this here.

Just saw this in todays paper.

Testing has found lead in the artificial turf at TCNJ.

Isn't the whole State of New Jersey full of lead?

It's full of something!!!

Going to be interesting to see what schools will be effected by this.
Football !!! The ultimate team sport. Anyone who plays DIII football is a winner...

Harrisonburg paper on Bridgewater kids' shots at the NFL.

A couple of quotes in there indicating that being a D3 kid makes it harder to get a shot in the NFL, as though there's something out of whack about that, and some updates on where other Bridgewater grads have gone in pro football, if you don't follow the program closely enough to know already, but care. Like me.

Looks like this is a pre-draft feature on UWW's AJ Raebel and Carthage's Donovan Moore.

Interesting takes from the two of them on the process of trying to make it out of D3.

I don't know if this CSTV video of Studebaker after the injury but long before the draft has made the rounds or not, but it was new to me. I picked it up off an Eagles blog.

The point was that the internet helped him get exposure he otherwise might not have received. And if nothing else, his pass rushing highlights are sick (sorry rest of CCIW).

The likelihoods that a DIII player coming off an ostensibly serious injury will be drafted are the proverbial "slim and none", but Studebaker must have shown NFL scouts something very special (by their brutally high standards) and consequently somehow overcame those extremely negative odds - not that his being drafted means that he necessarily will ever play a snap in the NFL.
