(I'll agree that low-Division games are great; I like minor-league baseball for similar reasons.) As a graduate of a D-III school, I’m curious: Why is D-II better?

Really cool. D3Football.com was there broadcasting the game over the web. I was there working on a little feature story on some student-athletes from my hometown area for that sports paper my friends have. BTW, Mississippi College defeated Millsaps 13-0.

The game was at Memorial Stadium. The Millsaps campus is a couple blocks south of the stadium in Jackson. Mississippi College is located in Clinton, a Jackson suburb. One other note.

All scholarships at Division III schools have to be based on financial need. So you get a better class of athlete in Division II programs. Which is not to say a D3 game can't be entertaining, as the folks in Wisconsin will be glad to tell you.

Nice to see the grandaddy of professional cycling get a mention on your list. To most Americans, professional cycling barely surfaces on the radar. Curling has a bigger American following, and that's only because I'm including the Canadians. Viva Le Tour! Nice to see the grandaddy of professional cycling get a mention on your list.

As for division 2 not having any "swagger," you obviously haven't met any McNeese State fans. :-) Luge!?
