Just for Fun--How Many DIII Teams Have You Seen Play (in Person)?

[Josh Bowerman]

Okay, Pat, Keith, Gordon and the rest of the staff can obviously trump most everyone else, but I'm curious to know how many different teams folks from across the country have seen play in person?  (games played in don't count, nor do televised games.  Only games seen as a fan at the stadium)

This is meant simply for fun, nothing more, nothing less.

Thinking back, these are the team's I've seen:

ASC (8)--Hardin-Simmons, Mary Hardin-Baylor, East Texas Baptist, Mississippi College, McMurry, Louisiana College, Howard Payne, Sul Ross

CCIW (1)--Wheaton

MIAA (1)--Hope

MAC (5)--Delaware Valley, Lebanon Valley, Albright, FDU Florham, Widener

SCAC (7)--Austin College, Birmingham Southern, Colorado College, Centre, Millsaps, Rhodes, Trinity

LL (1)--Susquehanna

CC (1)--McDaniel

NWC (1)--Linfield

WIAC (3)--UW Stout, UW Stevens Point, UW Whitewater

UAA (1)--Washington Univ.

So, if my math and memory are correct, I think I've seen 29.  How about you guys?

[Hawks88]

Fun project, but didn't take too long for me.

SLIAC(5)  - Huntingdon*, LaGrange*, MacMurray, Eureka*, Westminster
SCAC(5)  - Sewanee*, Rhodes*, Milsaps*, Trinity, Colorado College
USAC(2)  -  Maryville*, NC Wesleyan
PAC(1)  -  Thomas More
WIAC(1)  - UW Oshkosh
Empire 8(1)  -  Ithaca*
ACFA(1)  -  Wesley*
ASC(1)  -  McMurry
17 Teams
*9 stadiums

I'll play! 

NCAC (9) - Allegheny, Denison*, Earlham*, Hiram, Oberlin, Ohio Wesleyan*, Wabash*, Wittenberg*, Wooster* (will complete the set next year when Kenyon comes to C'ville)
HCAC (7) - Anderson*, Bluffton, Franklin*, Hanover*, Manchester*, Mt. St. Joseph, Rose-Hulman
OAC (4) - Capital, Mount Union*, Ohio Northern, Wilmington
MIAA (3) - Albion*, Hope, Kalamazoo*

CCIW (2) - Millikin*, Wheaton*
SLIAC (2) - Huntingdon, MacMurray

WIAC (1) - UW-Whitewater*

So I think I've got 33 teams and 18 stadiums.  I've also seen the stadiums at RHIT and Trinity(TX) but have not seen a game at those places so I didn't count them here.

[old ends]

I've been watching DIV III,( which it was not called back then) since the early 1950's when my parents moved out of Brooklyn to outside of Canaan, NH. Saturday was boy's day with dad and we would go to football games on Saturdays during the fall.So to add up those that were just Div III now---lets just say a bunch.

Since moving to MD about 15. only 2 this year in person. A lot more on TV and the Computer.

This is meant simply for fun, nothing more, nothing less.

How about adding the number of states you traveled to to see games? And no I didn't mean states of mind

[wally_wabash]

Addendum...I also saw the Gustavus Adolphus stadium but did not see a game there.  I forgot that I visited GAC when I was figuring out where I wanted to go to school back in the day.   

I've seen games in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, and Wisconsin.  I fully expect to be at the Wabash/WashU game in St. Louis in 2010.  And I've seen stadiums but not games in Minnesota and Texas.  So 5 states for games, soon to be 6, and 2 more that I've seen empty. 

[K-Mack]

How about adding the number of states you traveled to to see games?

Glad you added that. I think the states thing is what I'm most proud of. I've seen games in every D3 major state, though a lot of states with one or two schools are on my missing list:

Yes - 20
Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan (stadium only, no game), Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Mississippi, Texas, California, Oregon and Washington.

Missing: 12/9
Missouri, Maine, Vermont, Conn., RI (Salve), W. Va. (Bethany), Georgia (LaGrange), Alabama (Hunt. & B-SC), Colorado (Colo. Coll.)., Tennessee (Maryville), Kentucky (Thomas More), Louisiana (La. Coll.)

I've seen teams from Alabama, Kentucky & Connecticut play in other states though.

States with no D3 football: 18
Florida, S. Carolina, Arkansas, N. Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Nebraska (wesleyan doesn't count), Kansas, New Hampshire, Alaska, Hawaii
