ATN Podcast: First look

Usually we don't get a chance to see Mount Union in person before November at the earliest, more often December. The frank fact of the matter is, it's hard to justify a long trip just to see a blowout, and that's often what Mount Union does.

But we knew this past weekend had a chance to be different. While UW-Oshkosh hasn't contended in some time, a WIAC team is always a challenge. The Titans would be playing their second game, to the Purple Raiders' first. And they would be at home against a Mount Union lineup starting 10 sophomores.

So it was worth a look-see. Pat Coleman talks about what he saw from Mount Union in this week's Around the Nation Podcast.

That's far from all that's covered, though. Keith McMillan took a drive of his own and saw something unique within Division III, the Merchant Marine-Coast Guard rivalry, on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks as well. Plus the two talk about the big upsets of the day and what we've learned about the top conferences after some big games.
