@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.

@SocialPLC I assume most liberal arts schools are still requiring essays, no?

Man... The times they are a-changing if 25 schools is a NARROW focus for a HS senior. I think I applied to 5 or 6? Only 4 of those were schools where I would've played ball.

Targeting 25 right fit schools beats emailing 100 random programs every time. Quality over quantity always wins in recruiting. nomoathletics.com #FootballRecruiting #CollegeFootball

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.
English
@SocialPLC @Darinsvenson @PrestoSports @SIDEARMSports You're the copy editor (I believe), so I'll take your word for it, but wouldn't you say the context matters? In a sentence, I can jive with AP style, but in a database?
English
Free idea for @PrestoSports & @SIDEARMSports:
Have two-character state abbreviations the standard for listing hometowns on rosters. They can override if a kid's from Nigeria or Ireland or whatever, but enough with the random "W.Vir," or "Ida." abbreviations.
Logan Hansen@LogHanRatings
If you want to see the most unhinged abbreviations for states you've ever seen, scroll through some #d3fb rosters. "Alas."? "Illi."??? Random punctuation marks - the number of states fully spelled out, but with a period at the end ("Iowa.") would blow your mind.

Some hints:
One is on an "island", one on a peninsula, and the other is on a lake.

Fun #d3fb trivia time!
There are three active DIII schools (that sponsor football) with a population of < 100,000 within a 60 minute drive. Name them.

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

I’m sorry but this is insane. People really have no clue what’s happening in Belton, Tx this year… 😤

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

They let me host The New Yorker Radio Hour! Just for a week, but of course I did a whole show about polling—is it bad? Good? Misunderstood? And I invited @ForecasterEnten and @jaselzer on to chat. Hope you’ll listen! newyorker.com/podcast/the-ne…

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").
