You gotta feel for the guy. Taking a knee instead of spiking the ball is not something that Colin Schuetz invented; heck, a current NFL starting quarterback did the same thing in college. But it's tough, and before this podcast is over, we'll bring out a head coach who will have some words of wisdom for him.

That's just one of a handful of games with national implications that we are talking about in Podcast 290. UW-La Crosse hanging on against UW-Platteville; UW-Whitewater running away from UW-Oshkosh, Birmingham-Southern rallying past Centre, and Muhlenberg's win against Johns Hopkins from Friday night. We'll hear from one of the key players and key plays from Muhlenberg, plus key moments from other contests around Division III football.

Plus, we'll talk with North Park coach Kyle Rooker. His Vikings did something they haven't done since 1992, namely, they won at Carthage. But this isn't your older brother's North Park program. These wins will likely be coming more frequently now, and we'll talk about them in our Tight Five. 

Our game balls go to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Our surprising results come from Texas and Maine. Our off-the-beaten-path highlights come from Tennessee and Virginia. Our stats of the week, from Massachusetts and Ohio.

Plus, what will it take for Howard Payne to get ranked? Which two teams should play for the Red-Feathered Muskie? And how do you pronounce Simuncak? That and much more in episode 290.

Pat Coleman and Greg Thomas talk about it all in the latest D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast. The D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast is a regular conversation covering the wide range of Division III football.
