You invite your brothers (4) to your grandson's first college hockey game, and during the warmups, a one foot hole in the ice is being worked on, and by game time is a three foot hole, and the game is called off an hour after game time. And all 20 of the spectators stayed 'til the bitter end.:) :D :D

: You know that listening to Ducky doesn't mean you dodged a puck.
 
Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

-You drive an hour on a Tuesday night to watch a team that you don't like simply to say you've seen them play.

-You know why RIT still gets votes on in the D-III polls (forum polls, of course). ;)

-You've ever gotten into a town ten minutes earlier than you had originally planned to look for the closest bar to the arena.
 
Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

: You feel justified driving to the game even though the blizzard has closed the highways to emergency traffic only - because, heck getting to the game IS an emergency.
 
Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

; you've traveled 2000 miles for ONE game....multiple times.

; the first question asked when buying a new cell phone: "can i stream WDEV on it?"

; you spend way too much time and money running a D3 hockey pool

: You remember the time you got pulled over in Shiocton on Highway 54 for having a burned out tail light. You also remember being informed your license was suspended for failing to pay a parking ticket you never knew you had received. The officer didn't care that you were a broke college student just trying to cover a game at St. Norbert and made you call Caveman to come pick you up -- in a blizzard.

: You've taken County S from De Pere to New London going to a game at Stevens Point so you won't get a speeding ticket in Shiocton. :p
 
Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

You get into a heated discussion at Souptown with the AD and the local townies over "reserved seating".:eek:
 
Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

: You've spent hundreds of dollars on the 50/50 drawing, assume you'll spend hundreds more, and accept it as a necessity.

: You have a predisposed dislike of certain towns/cities, despite never being there, because you know how their fans are. ;)

: You know the police officers at the CCC, and they know you.

: You know that bee-hive speakers aren't a good investment.

You know what religion the MIAC schools are, including Concordia.

Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

: You wear a headset into the arena so you can listen to the game on the radio.
 
Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

You travel to Oswego in one of the worst snowstorms, knowing you might not get back and also know you are in trouble for missing your sister's 25th wedding anniversary party in Pburgh on that very night.

I knew I met you up at Pburgh! Couldn't quite remember the face but now I do once you made this post. We met in of all places....the bathroom.
 
Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

: You actually consider skipping out on the family's Easter Dinner to attend the <strike>Frozen Four</strike> Championship Game.
 
Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

: The NCAA says it has nothing to do with finances, unlike the DI players; who obviously are too smart for Mensa, the guys on your roster can’t handle the academic strain of supervised practice before October 15
 
Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

You gripe about ADs ruining the game because all they want is for people to sit on their hands... quietly.
 
Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

: you attend the Championships in Lake Placid for 3 years in a row, even though you're team isn't there.
 
Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

: You don't make travel plans without checking the schedule to make sure you won't be missing a game.

: In the unfortunate event you must be away when there is game, you make sure to pack your laptop and seek a hotel that offers high-speed internet so you can tie into the webcast, Live Stats, etc.
 
Re: Ways To Know You're a Division III Fan...

You know why there are 11 teams in the DIII national tournament and 16 in the DI tournament, even though there are more teams in DIII.

You know the difference between Pool B and Pool C, and can describe both the primary and secondary criteria for at large selection to the tournament.

You can explain to an Adrian supporter why they didn't get selected, even if they don't like the reason.
