  • Consistently great

    These guys really know D3. They know the people, they know the history. The fact that their rankings and accolades are the most trusted speaks to the quality.

    As much as People want to gripe about their school not getting enough coverage, they really do a great job getting to every region, covering the meaningful stories and highlighting the achievements of these programs and student athletes.

  • DIII Coverage, Finally.

    With all the talk about the WIAC, why are most of those schools DIII? They have more students than most DII schools. While I love this podcast, the WIAC receives far more coverage than any other conference in DIII.

    One other quibble, why are you guys talking playoff bracket after Week 1? Just give us recaps of the games that were good and save the playoff discussion until Week 8 or so.

  • In-depth coverage of D3 football you won’t find anywhere else

    Pat Coleman (founder of the D3sports series of websites) and Greg Thomas know Division III football, the coaches, players, and rivalries better than any two people in the nation. These hour-long podcasts take you across the country and cover Division III football with insight, depth, and humor you can’t find anywhere else. HIGHLY recommended!

  • A must listen for any fan of Division III Football. Created and hosted by people who have been covering the sport for decades. A nice mix each week of information, interviews and humor, with weekly episodes during the season looking primarily at previous and upcoming games, and monthly episodes during the off-season that include interviews and other stories and news.

ATN Podcast 417: Another splashy Saturday
Q: Week one, a surprising loss on the road at Dickinson. Week two, you knock off number three Johns Hopkins at home. Tell me about your brilliant plan in eight days to fix everything.

ATN Podcast 414: Setting the stage for the 2026 season
Q: What one or two forces have helped LaGrange go from a winless year to a 10-win season and strong camp culture?

ATN Podcast 412: Early look at 1 vs. 2
Q: How does having the number one vs. number two matchup in week one affect preparation and strategy for both teams?

Q: How many practices in the fall then do you have in order to really decide among those four guys and maybe someone who isn't there yet?
