How NNA adjusted to the dissolution of the ACFC.

Interesting idea! But since NNA isn't actually a D3 school, they may not be considered part of our landscape anymore without the support structure of the ACFC.

2.7 seconds. An average football player may need more time to score; a great one finds a way. I've seen greatness happen.

They play a heavily D3 schedule.

Ten games, 7 full D-3's and a team in the exploratory year.

I'm well aware! I've written about Apprentice before, and they're good people. But they have always been the odd duck out in terms of our coverage (even when they were in a D3 conference). They're current D3-heavy schedule is borne more out of geographic necessity than philisophical similarities.

true on your last statement Ryan-- but I would be curious what schools that play intercollegiate athletics would be philosophically similiar to us (not trying to be a smartalic -- just honest question)???  Only one I can think of honestly is Williamson Trade in PA.
odd duck -- probably the nicest way we've been described  ;D :D

There probably aren't many, but I'll admit that I'm so D-III focused that I wouldn't likely be familiar with any others similar to you that are out there. (Even my knowledge of D-II schools is kind of shaky.) :)

With football season gearing up again, I'm looking forward to your coverage of the USAC.  Its a shame more outlets don't cover D3.

Thanks, Bob!

As the plan is falling together right now, USAC team's will have a prominent spot in two of my first three columns :) Keep an eye out!

Ryan-

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your article about Coach Harper. I think his efforts will pay high dividends to the players fans and the college. Thanks again for highlighting Coach Harper and Ferrum.

Ryan, always good to read your articles and this weeks is timely for me.  I am traveling to Gettysburg to see the game this week between Johns Hopkins and Gettysburg.  Still remember meeting you there a couple of years ago.  Hopefully I will get to see you again this year at the Stagg Bowl.

Ryan Tipps

wesleydad,
That one should be one of the best games in the Centennial this season! I'm sure you'll have a blast -- and hopefully have better weather than that rainy day we saw them play Muhlenberg.

I may or may not be at the Stagg Bowl this year. Baby Tipps No. 1 is due the Tuesday before the game! Few things in the world could make me miss the Stagg, but this is one of those things :) :)
