You've gotten the stop, pounced on a fumble, you're celebrating a key win to open up your conference slate. Only then do the officials huddle up, and without the benefit of replay, overturn the call originally made on the field and give the team which by all rights lost the game another chance. You'd be forgiven, perhaps, if it took you more than the customary 24 hours to get that emotion out of your system, to turn the page. If you were Hope, which had defeat snatched from the jaws of victory on Saturday afternoon, in a turn of events so unexpected that it has garnered 211,000 views as of this writing on our X account, you could be excused. But the Flying Dutchmen will show up for the 6:30 team meeting with head coach Peter Stuursma today and be asked to turn the page. No, the MIAA can't overturn the result -- they tried to with a basketball game back in 2001. Will the conference issue a statement about the officiating at the end of the game? They should. The answer to our question to the conference office came while we were recording, and you'll hear our reaction as the response came in, live. Coach Stuursma joins us to talk about the play and the aftermath on this edition of the podcast in Fast Five. Not the only big game, don't get us wrong. Patrick Coleman and Greg Thomas dive into the Christopher Newport-Susquehanna game, the interesting ways in which quarterback Josh Ehrlich and running back Rahshan La Mons were used, and the body language of the two teams down the stretch. And it seemed super likely that the Washington & Jefferson Presidents weren't going to start the season 0-3, and we look deeply at their game with Grove City from Saturday night. Plus, we'll take four your mailbag questions about the Top 25. Why do teams on bye move? What do voters do with Alma and Hope? Patrick and Greg Thomas hand out game balls, Logan Hansen talks about which conferences have a better than 70% chance of getting an at-large team into the playoffs, we go around each region for even more stories and much more in this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.
