ATN Podcast 243: The one with all the mascots

This week is the last gasp of non-conference play for some schools, where the Northwest and SoCal will be battling it out all down the line, and the MIAA and NACC will be doing so as well. Plus conference play gets started with two huge games in the CCIW, and the MIAC gets underway. Guest Mike Schmidt, the head coach at UW-La Crosse, talks about his team’s 2-0 start and how he and his staff use analytics to get the right guys the ball and in the right spot in the lineup. This edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast is sponsored by Gotta Have It: 3D Fan Foam Wall Signs for the D-III fan in your life. Plus, we coin the Schenectica Cup (even if that’s for the wrong game), Keith has to pick teams to win based on their mascot and Pat has to pick them by vowel, and there’s a Mug, and five one-liners and no … the points don’t matter. Except where they do. Pat and Keith talk about it all in the latest D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast. The D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast is a regular conversation between Pat Coleman and Keith McMillan and guests covering the wide range of Division III football.
