Looking for something to do after you stuff your face on turkey ... cranberry jelly? Yeah, I said cranberry jelly.  Still the greatest part of a turkey day dinner.... anyhow, back to what I was saying.... Watch this episode with SimpleCoach to Coach with Kyle Dezotell, Head Men's Coach at Tufts.

Ok.  So, today, Thanksgiving Day is the one year anniversary of All Things Division III Soccer on YouTube.  I didn't know how to thank all of you folks who are the mainstays of this board ... you know who you are ... who have been instrumental in how things have gone with the channel.  From ideas, to how to improve delivery, to the kind words...

So I tried to capture it in a Thanksgiving Day episode of Around D3.  Stick around for the ending where I express my gratitude to you all.

Around D3 - Happy Thanksgiving

And I hope you and yours have a wonderful and blessed day with friends and family.

SC,
Can't thank you enough for all the wonderful videos/podcasts you've done this past year.   I jumped in after you started it all 1 year ago and figured you had been doing it for years.   Such great insight has been provided by you, PN and the coaches you've interviewed that it really has enhanced the D3 soccer experience for this soccer dad these past few months.   Looking forward to more.  Happy Holidays.

So here it is, the last episode of The New Show with @PaulNewman.  I have granted him permission to take a 10 month leave of absence, as part of his multi-year, multimillion dollar deal we just agreed to for the next 3 seasons....

The New Show - Tom Brady's Finale?

On a personal note, this was a great experience for me and will forever call @PaulNewman a friend.

Paul Newman... The Arlo White of D3 soccer.
Well done both you guys.
Thanks for making the rest of us crazy people feel normal for loving this game of ours and D3 soccer so much.

What?  No transfer portal and recruiting special during the long winter months?   

Seriously, though, congratulations on launching the podcast and thanks for continuing to develop new content.  Really appreciated.

The energy and time commitment to this is amazing and  appreciated! The D3 community is truly in a class of its own (because of you and your passion). Your comment regarding "student athletes are special," summarizes the D3 soccer student/athlete.  To be an Elite student and soccer player takes so much time and sacrifice! Thanks guys! Been fun to watch!

Adding my appreciation: your show and content on the boards is insightful and interesting.  I have learned a lot and also been entertained.

The take on Williams is spot-on.  Many people are asking—How did this team get to final 4?

Great catching up with Denison Head Coach, Brandon Bianco.  Cover the season and an interesting discusión around rules and decisions coming down the pike.

@NewEnglander, Coach Burke and I are trying to find a date that works.  I have a lot of coaches already lined up and I know he has been hitting the recruiting trail so coinciding calendars has been a challenge.  But it is definitely in the works.

Just got a chance to listen to the interview with Coach Bianco.  Impressive that he not only pegged Chicago as the winner of the national championship, but he also got the semifinal and final scores exactly correct!  Too bad he got wrong the finals opponent.  I guess he owes you $100.  Unfortunately, the effective date on legalizing gambling in Ohio is January 1, 2023 (although it is legal in New Jersey).

Seriously, though, it was great to hear his take on the rules changes and the proposal to extend the preseason and pick up an extra weekend. It was also interesting to hear about the way he used the Boston trip to connect with alums and celebrate their 70th anniversary of the program. Outsiders sometimes only think about these trips as ways to bolster strength of schedule, but the reality is that recruiting, alumni development, and rewarding players and parents from those areas are great reasons to arrange them.  If he can do them every other year, that only makes the program that more attractive and relevant for everyone.

One of the best interviews yet.
