I think this exposure is a great thing for D3.  I am somewhat new to the D3 scene and so I'm wondering how often we have gotten any sort of attention from ESPN or similar in the past, and if this may be a sign of things to come.  My hope is that with all the drama over the summer of the NFL (and NBA) lockout more people will be interested in the collegiate atmosphere.

Who's going to step up and challenge CNU?
