Anyone watching the DIII football championship?

It's like a good high school football game.

Entertaining game from what I’ve watched of it, UWRF plays an exciting style Offensively.

Is Mount Union in it?

No. Unknown directional and a private school.

UW River Falls defense just defensed.

lulz the wide receiver crashed into a snow pile.

Some interesting coaching decisions of late on both sides.

I thought I had seen stupid end of game decisions. Can"t top three passes and passing on points on the cusp of winning a championship when you have a 10 point lead and 3 minutes to go.

That last series by UWRF made zero sense. Passing instead of bleeding the clock with a 10 point lead and less than 4 minutes in the game.

This would have been game if they had run the ball during the last drive. Passes again?

This seems like a huge upset. Was there a Vegas line on this?

Years ago we hired the OC from Mary Hardin - Baylor to design our youth football offense. Now I know why he only charged a few hundred bucks.

It's 22 degrees in Canton right now. That Gatorade bath seemed excessive.

The team that lost was in this game for the 6th straight year and going for their 3rd title in the last 4 seasons. The coach was 48-1 before today.

Why is d3 so crazy unbalanced?

There are no scholarships at DIII, so all the other stuff becomes a huge factor: if schools can put together financial aid in other ways, invest in facilities, etc. The powerhouses can also maintain huge rosters and with no scholarships at play— at that level you might as well just play at a place that’s really good. UMHB followed this model to become a Texas DIII powerhouse, the difference in support they extend to athletics is insane compared to competitors like TLU or Howard-Payne.

UWRF in state tuition $8,600(out of state$16,887)

North Central tuition $47,000

thats just tuition, not including room and board, other costs. All in NC is over $70K a year.

Its basically the UW state schools or a handful of privates (North Central, Mount Union, UMHB)

Its absurd to have the UW state schools competing at the D3 level.

Further, I have a childhood friend who has made his career as a D3 coach and he says there is a growing problem fielding teams at many private schools because of the cost. Basically the same problem college in general is experiencing.

Hope to be at the game here in the next couple of years. Good friend's kid is a WR for Johns Hopkins, who lost to UWRF in the F4. Would be awesome if they can win a title while he's there.

I looked up the bracket and was surprised to see Johns Hopkins was so good at this level of football. Since they're known for Lacross.

Noticed the university I got a masters degree at also was a good 1 loss team but was upset early in the playoffs.
