222-2

[Dinsdale]

And Linfield is in consecutive winning season #61. Their only loss this season came from the new#1, Mary Hardin-Baylor.

Division 3 really should be split up in to 2 groups, especially out west. You have so few leagues out west and schools whose priorities are so far off from football. Linfield school of nursing recruits players from all over the country and will accept players regardless of grades and test scores while the league down in Southern California, the SCIAC, is made up of schools like Cal Tech and Mudd and students there had to have a 4.0 and score 2000 on the SAT as well as have wealthy parents to send them to a 50k a year university.

i do sort of agree with that.....one of my good friends played D-III at Colorado College....which is a "top 25" liberal arts college in Co Springs...and while CC has D-1 hockey and women's soccer....they dropped football. CC was taking 20 hour bus trips to Minnesota to play "comparable" teams or getting their ass kicked by the mount union type factories.

222-2 is pretty sick, though, no matter what you are doing.

I believe there's around 400 D3 football teams, and before the season starts, the champ will come from a group of about 5.

I know a guy who played RB for Linfield the last time they won the championship ('04?), and indeed, he didn't get a scholarship -- they just straight-up gave him money (IIRC, he's a McMinnville native). It was a "special skills grant." Said he didn't want for much in college.
