Join the weekly NCAA Division 3 East Region Football recap show hosted by Frank Rossi and James Baker "In the (D3FB) Huddle," where they'll be covering all the season's weekly game results, interviews, and in-depth analysis of the nine conferences of the East Region, including the NESCAC, each week!…
As we said in our Tuesday show, we have interviews with recently-announced Head Coaches at two major programs in Upstate New York. First, Frank & JB discuss Tom Blumenauer's move from Franklin & Marshall to Cortland, as he takes over for Curt Fitzpatrick following the Red Dragons' playoff run in 2024 and National Championship in 2023. Then, they talk with former Morrisville Head Coach Ed Raby about his exit to St. John Fisher after former Head Coach Paul Vosburgh's retirement. Both of these programs have had input in the national #D3FB landscape over the last decades, and both coaches look to continue their own levels of success in their prior jobs at their new locations. Learn a lot more in this episode. (Note: Apologies for some of the clipped audio on Frank's end due to a microphone issue -- it is limited but noticeable at times. Thank you.)
