Reporting Error.

Sep 23

Posted by Jon Morse in Division III, Division News and Notes | Comments off

The source that feeds me my scores temporarily misrepresented the score of the Huntingdon (D-III)/Faulkner (NAIA) game, showing a 41-18 Faulkner win rather than a 48-41 Huntingdon win.  The scoreboard on the D-III recap page won’t be corrected, but the text relating has been.

Oddly, the standings report was correct, so I should have caught this from the get-to.  Sorry for the mixup.

D-III: Week 3 Recap/Week 4 Preview.

Sep 22

Posted by Jon Morse in Division III, Division News and Notes | Comments off

Programming note: trying another new format. I don’t know how long it will last, and since nobody’s telling me what works and doesn’t work, I am going to keep flailing away with ideas.

Saturday we had three upsets in the top 11, a slight correction within the top 5, and a whole bunch of shakedown cruises heading into conference play for most of the division. Big games for the coming week:

#3 Saint Thomas (MN) at 2-0 Concordia-Moorhead
#4 Mary Hardin-Baylor at #21 Hardin-Simmons
#8 Thomas More at 3-0 Washington & Jefferson
#9 Ohio Northern at 2-0 Muskingum
#16 Alfred at 2-0 Springfield
#23 Mississippi College at 2-0 Louisiana
2-1 Muhlenberg at 3-0 Johns Hopkins
2-1 Central (IA) at 3-0 Dubuque

D-III Week 2 Recap/Week 3 Preview.

Sep 16

Posted by Jon Morse in Division III, Division News and Notes | Comments off

For the second week in a row, a top five team stumbled. One conference appears to have decided they’re just not going to lose games, and two others can’t buy a win. The WIAC schedule for the week included seven ranked teams and four of the top five, but after the dust settled three of those teams weren’t ranked anymore.

Big games to keep an eye on this week:
#7 Wheaton (IL) at Wisconsin-Platteville
#18 Kean at #11 Cortland State
Pacific Lutheran at #19 Cal Lutheran
#21 Wittenberg at Washington (MO)
Lebanon Valley at #25 Delaware Valley
Lycoming at Widener
Bridgewater State at Plymouth State

D-III: Week 1 Recap/Week 2 Precap.

A top five team chooses their opening opponent poorly, an entire conference loses their openers, and one game never even finishes. All the info after this.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes (Part Two).

After that infodump, it’s time to take a look at changes in Division III and the NAIA.  There’s not too much shuffling in D-III, aside from chaos surrounding two conferences in particular; the NAIA, on the other hand, is losing a ton of teams, and therefore its conferences are being impacted quite a but.

Oh, Look, It’s 2011.

Before we get started on a new season of hijinks here at Those Other Guys, I have some mea culpas to offer.

I disappeared right after I posted the previews for the FCS semifinals and the championship games in the other divisions, meaning I never wrapped the other divisions, nor did I preview or wrap the FCS championship game or wrap the semifinals.

I think we can all agree that this was bad.

There were things going on here at home that ate up a great deal of my free time, and said things also contributed to a severe case of writers block. No excuse, but it wasn’t just because I stopped caring all of a sudden.

So, with that, congratulations to Eastern Washington (FCS), Minnesota-Duluth (D-II), Wisconsin-Whitewater (D-III), and Carroll (MT) (NAIA) on winning their respective national championships last December.

Last season, I picked a format and rolled with it, but I was never satisfied WITH that format. I felt like it worked against the very purpose I had in mind with this site; it was too stiff, too wordy, and was pretty much just as thick and hard to swallow as simply going to dedicated sites would have been. This year, I’m going to toy with things and see if I can’t land on something that feels organic and entertaining.

I also never did figure out what to do about basketball (despite actually having a couple of offers from people interested in helping cover it), and thus never even started it. Congratulations go out to Bellarmine (D-II), Saint Thomas (MN) (D-III), Pikeville (NAIA-I), Cornerstone (NAIA-II), Azusa Pacific (NAIA-I women), and Northwestern (IA) (NAIA-II women). I cannot guarantee that I’ll get to basketball this year either, but if I do manage to come up with a format for football which I’m comfortable with, I might manage it.

Next: what changed over the summer.
