The 11 players from D2 Football picked in this year's NFL draft is more than the past two years' drafts combined. Missouri Southern DT Brandon Williams was the first and only D2 guy taken Friday. The Baltimore Ravens took him with the 94th overall pick in the third round.

At 4-0 and the defending national champions, No. 1 Pittsburg State got to sit back and watch everybody else duke it out for position in the MIAA on Saturday. What the Gorillas saw, if they were indeed spending their day off observing MIAA football, was the better teams in the conference prove their worth with statement victories in a number of different fashions. I got to witness a couple of the top contenders in action, as No. 5 Missouri Western outlasted now 1-4 Central ...

In my fourth year of covering MIAA football, I am going to pull off another first on Saturday. I’m heading to TWO games!

Now we learned last week these games of heavy favorites and underdogs can be fun. On the national level, we had plenty of upsets, and in the MIAA. Central, Washburn and Pitt State came from behind to pull out victories. ...

I've never been one to give one game it's own blog entry (in all four weeks I've been blogging), but we have ourselves a Thursday night game, it's live on CBS Sports and NCAA.com, it's the No. 9 team in the country and the (perhaps most underrated team in the country) No. 25 team in the country, and gosh darn it, I'm giddy for another great Washburn-Western matchup. Now there have been some good games since I've started covering the MIAA, many of which I've been at, so I'm not going ...
