@LogHanRatings Yes, but not all are requiring unique essays or essays on specific prompts. If you apply to 25 schools, you don't need anywhere near 25 unique essays.

Incredible game with two great programs. Going to be tough to top that one this weekend.

@LogHanRatings @Darinsvenson @PrestoSports @SIDEARMSports At this point my eye is trained to think of postal abbreviations as unprofessional. But of course, inconsistent abbreviations aren't great either.

[Patrick Coleman @SocialPLC]

@LogHanRatings @Darinsvenson @PrestoSports @SIDEARMSports AP style >>> Postal abbreviations.

@LogHanRatings Buena Vista?

[Ryan Whitnable @OACBBallShow]

The road to Indianapolis for all of #d3hoops starts with a tip off on opening night.

[Patrick Coleman @SocialPLC]

@CouchCru17 Well, we will see, right? A whole season to be played! We look forward to it. #d3fb

Some of these *men* you're competing with for travel spots have been focusing on football and putting in year-round work for 3-1/2 or 4-1/2 years to get to where they are.

You've been there for 2 weeks.

Keep putting in the work, and you'll get there, too.

[Logan Hansen @LogHanRatings]

If you're a freshman #d3fb player feeling frustrated because you didn't get to travel for the team's scrimmage this weekend, take a step back and remember where you were after 2 weeks of practice as a HS freshman. And you're going to improve more in college than you did in HS.

[Logan Hansen @LogHanRatings]

Which #d3fb games in 2025 are most likely to impact the final playoff picture?

[Logan Hansen @LogHanRatings]

Bill has spoken. You should watch more small school football.

In addition to the WIAC, some other #d3fb conference races that I expect to be down to the wire:
SAA - just added best team from neighboring conference, four playoff-caliber teams

[Patrick Coleman @SocialPLC]

If you've listened to my most recent @d3football podcast, can confirm that I am still working my way back into running. Slowly but surely.

[Patrick Coleman @SocialPLC]

Did you make up a new All-America team today, @Catdome_alumni?

[Patrick Coleman @SocialPLC]

I'm breezy!

[D3 Datacast @d3datacast]

We are #d3fb official now! Great to see @SocialPLC at our @CalvinKnightsFB tailgate!

[Patrick Coleman @SocialPLC]

SWIMP and I just listened to the latest #greatestgen episode from @GreatestTrek on the train from Galway to Dublin. Repping the brand in a pub as well! Helping me gear up for another football podcast season while on holiday. Thanks for the laughs!

@ClareMalone @ForecasterEnten @jaselzer Good use of @ClareMalone or bad use of @ClareMalone? I say good.

[Patrick Coleman @SocialPLC]

Good news for any of my #biztravel friends who fly through @mspairport!

It was 25 years ago today that https://t.co/h9aVxkhxEE first went live! Thanks to all the fans, players, coaches and athletics communicators who helped make our first quarter-century a great one! 🎉🎉https://t.co/dYy7YQy2dy #d3fb

In one way, this is good (don't overvalue one game just because it was against a team close to you in the rankings), but also, NPI doesn't actually look at all 10 results - ~half of most Pool A/Pool C teams' games will be ignored (that's bad, but lauded disguised as a "feature").
