Complain about yesterday's playoff selections all you want, and we certainly have our disagreements, but if the words "conference champion" appears in your complaint you've immediately indicated you know little to nothing about the process and it discredits your argument.
Unbelievable career by an unbelievable player. Hard to imagine a better representative of Division II and all it stands for than Danny. Congratulations and thanks for the memories.
This quote. 💯 👏🏽
“But when my NFL days are over, I do have that degree to fall back on. I definitely say without Division II and Division II football, I probably wouldn’t be where I’m at today. It’s an awesome thing to celebrate.” - Danny Woodhead

This is one of the best examples of the opportunity that exists because of teams playing non-conference games. It's quite possible that many of these young men would never have visited the monument otherwise.
Sometimes, it’s more than just football. We had a great time visiting Mt. Rushmore. Now it’s time to refocus and get ready for kickoff tomorrow at 12 noon MST.
We have a lot happening in Division II today. Five matchups of Top 25 teams in five different conferences. Many other big games to be aware of as well. Check the replies for link to viewer's guide.
