<p>Great news for those who can't make it to Williams Homecoming this coming Saturday. I know I'll be there (watching "College GameDay" on my TV at home). Go Ephs!</p>

<p>Link to the funniest football blog on the tubes about Gameday ay Williams. Will Corso don the purple cow?</p>

<p>It's "funny" if you consider strong anti-Div. III bias humorous -- or just don't "get" the tradition and history of the Ephs-Lord Jeffs rivalry. But for the "Div. I or nothing" advocates, it probably makes them feel better ....</p>
<p>The link EDSBS is disgusting. One quick glance and you find it mocks black coaches, gays, and others. Obviously fans of the division 1 football programs where at least one felony arrest is required for recruitment.</p>
<p>I'm applying ED, but sorry DI football and DIII are not the same. Williams/Amherst never has and never will have 110,000 fans at a game. It is because DI sports are bigtime in a whole different way.</p>
<p>Watching nearly pro-caliber football except with real tie to everything, along with the tradition, is a unique and powerful experience. </p>
<p>But I am pumped that Gameday is Williams/Amherst.</p>
<p>I hope Gameday does a good job showcasing Williams/Amherst and Div III FB. As a Michigan alum and with a son at Notre Dame, I concur with DSC about the spectacle aspect of Div I football. I've had more than one friend who went to smaller schools such as Wash U and Boston U. wish that they had the sort of big sports tradition. That said, I do hope my second son does end up attending Williams or some other smaller type school. The big school scene is not for everyone.</p>
<p>My stepfather is a Notre Dame grad, my child attends Williams. I would not be too sure that this years Fighting Irish could beat the Ephs.</p>

<p>We have big time college hockey and our basketball team is going to win the AmEast Conference and make the NCAA tournament.</p>
<p>FYI Gameday</p>
<p>ESPN</a> - Fowler: Biggest little rivalry, and big BCS questions - College Football</p>
<p>And here's a preview of the College GameDay show as members of the ESPN crew are interviewed earlier today by Erin Burnett on her MSNBC program:</p>
<p>MSNBC</a> - Video Front Page</p>
<p>The ESPN purple cow head was mootiful. At halftime, Ephs dominate 10-0.</p>
<p>Good news onemoremom.</p>
<p>Everyone was shocked when my seemingly counterculture son turned down Brown to attend Williams. He was incredibly excited about this game and went to be filmed yesterday when video crew was there.</p>
<p>I know he made the right choice.</p>
<p>I'm too scared to watch games when I root for teams, the exception being the Yanks up in the Bronx, plus best hot dogs ever.</p>
<p>Are you listening to the game, mythmom? I've never had a football player in the family, but this is exciting. Did you see your son in the ESPN segment last night? Here's a link to the 3 1/2 minute Friday night preview of today's CGD:</p>

<p>Thanks for the link onemoremom. Couldn't see him, but it looked like the kids were having fun.</p>
<p>I wouldn't know how to find the game; I'm hopeless with radio.</p>
<p>Somehow I added it (WCFM) as an icon on my desktop a couple years ago -- I can't exactly remember how, but I think there were explicit directions on a link from the Athletics page (they would have to have been very clear for me to have been successful). </p>
<p>The feeling on campus this weekend must be of eph-oria for all the ephs -- current and past -- there to take part in the Homecoming festivities (a nice break from all the midterm exams and papers of the last couple weeks).</p>
<p>I feel some degree of satisfaction right now knowing that I have more hair than a quarter of the Williams football players.</p>
<p>Cool! We oldsters need all our consolations.</p>
<p>Yeah! ephs.</p>
