The panel also discuss the departure of Peamount United manager Gary Seery following confirmation that work commitments have forced him to step away from the role.Group C (54:56) provided some of the weekend's biggest drama as Treaty United defeated Athlone Town to top the group and eliminate the Midlanders. The discussion also covers Athlone's appointment of new manager Lily Agg and Cork City's remarkable collapse against Cliftonville after leading 3-0 and playing with an extra player before conceding a last-gasp equaliser.Later in the show (1:20:40), the panel discuss the FAI Women's Amateur Cup quarter-finals and explain how qualification for the FAI Women's Senior Cup now works for Development League and non-league teams.The episode concludes with a look ahead to Ireland's upcoming international fixtures against France and the Netherlands (1:33:58).

For some teams, a 3-0 start is precisely in the plan. For others, 3-0 is perhaps a pipe dream, or a first-time occurrence.  In this week's edition of the podcast, we talk about a few of each as we wrap up Week 3 of the Division III football season. Johns Hopkins was given just about a 50% chance of starting the season 3-0, with some top-flight competition on the docket. But they got the job done, and we learned a little bit about the Blue Jays in the process. We'll tell you what we've seen and coach Dan Wodicka will do the same. UW-Whitewater vaulted itself into the same top echelon as the rest of the WIAC contenders with a big win down at Mary Hardin-Baylor. What did we see that bodes well for the Warhawks and what does this do to the Cru's playoff chances? We'll discuss. Plus, a number of teams are surprising at 3-0. How about Calvin? The Knights are in just their second season of varsity football and got to 3-0 in dramatic fashion on the road, against a team from a tough conference. How about Hampden-Sydney? The Tigers moved to 3-0 and did it in dominant fashion, and on the ground. And Lewis & Clark, you know, the school that hired away Linfield offensive coordinator Brett Elliott, the Gagliardi Trophy-winning quarterback, and made him head coach? The Pioneers got the job done with defense on Saturday, and Greg Thomas talks with Elliott in our Fast Five.  Plus, we'll dive in and take four of your mailbag questions, about the SAA, how many teams we think are in the top tier of Division III, whether D-III's wins against D-II schools and an FCS program mean that Division III is getting better, and what's up with Coast Guard. Patrick and Greg Thomas hand out game balls, Logan Hansen talks about which teams have a better than 50% chance of making the playoffs as an at-large team if needed, we go around each region for the happy and sad stories and much more in this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.

This interview is with Lydia DeRoss of Beyond the Vine. In this interview, Lydia talks about how her passion for wine was sparked and how that passion drove her to leave the world of accounting to join the wine industry.Lydia shares about growing up in Tumalo, Oregon, and starting a career in accounting. After an initial interest in wine, she took a WSET class with Linfield in 2020 in order to learn more. This expanded her palette and encouraged her to try many new wines.Later in the interview, Lydia talks about her excitement to both learn about wine and help educate others on what she was learning. After quitting her accounting job, she started working in a wine shop in Redmond before opening her own storefront.Lydia opened Beyond the Vine in November 2023, where she focused on making wine fun and approachable. She has a limited inventory so that she can change her menu regularly and continually introduce even regulars to plenty of new and interesting wines.This interview was conducted by Rich Schmidt at Beyond the Vine in Redmond on August 11, 2025.

We've reached that glorious point of the year where the evidence of one tie makes us experts on the levels of teams from Lithuania, Azerbaijan and wherever else the European dice rolls. Chris Shields wasn't guessing about Shelbourne when the Champions League set up a cross border clash and the Linfield midfielder dials in to give us his reflections and regrets before a bit of general LOI chat. The cup didn't do a huge amount to float our boat this week, although Dan was still flagged for pirating offences, a prelude to a mailbag with more Cork based concerns, crisp dilemmas, and the return of the Oriel Park pitch review. Thanks as ever to Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff, Sport Cosanta and Rascals Brewing for keeping our ship afloat.
