ATN Podcast 331: Let’s get this party started


Listen Later

The 2023 Division III football season is upon us, kicking off on Thursday night, Aug. 31.

Birmingham-Southern is one of those teams kicking off on Thursday, and the fact that B-SC is here at all is something to celebrate. The school nearly closed this past summer and still faces sever funding issues, but is here for another year, under new coach Anthony Colucci. He talks with us about taking over the program, losing an all-star running back in Jon Lewis to transfer, and getting ready for the opening game.

We also have five, count them five games between Top 25 teams in Week 1, and Pat and Greg go through all of them for the storylines and the intrigue they’ll bring to the season. Then we’ll go region by region and touch on another large swath of Saturday games, plus Pat and Greg will put each other on the spot, and give their over-unders for one particularly ground-heavy Saturday game. It’s sure to get you all turbo charged for the 2023 season.

Plus, now that we’ve done this for a second year, it’s officially a tradition. The Week 1 preview podcast includes a song — in a quarter century of covering Division III football, Pat may not have been everywhere, but he’s been almost everywhere, man. With all apologies to Johnny Cash. Lyrics at the bottom of this page.

The D3football.com podcast is a weekly in-season podcast by Pat Coleman and Greg Thomas, which was started in 2007.

    I’ve Been (Almost) Everywhere

    I was dragging my suitcase through a busy airport terminal

    When I came up to the counter and the ticket agent said hello
    Is Roanoke your final destination, Mr. Coleman, Sir?
    And I said, “well yes it is, Atlanta’s where I transfer.”
    I’ve been chasing D-III football for a quarter century
    And 500 miles or not there’s still some places left to see.

    I’ve been everywhere, man

    Almost everywhere, man
    Can Delta get me there, man
    I’ll go by ground or air, man
