>No, but Kent was really a team that was just starting to break into >DivI, not easing back into it. Interesting. I remember that their coach was very upset to come to a D-III tournament and wind up playing the host team in the first round, as he thought that slot was reserved for the "patsy" team. His quote was basically "Hey, we're D-I, we're coming to your little barn, we're the headliners." If I remember correctly, Elmira was the 4th team and Brock was playing a fair number of D-I teams at the time, so there really wasn't a "patsy" team. That comment sure turned a lot of people here into Brock fans for the consolation game :) > 94-95 may be one of the better seasons for DivI-III matchups. Great for the D-III teams. But as Debbie pointed out, the D-I teams often have "nothing to gain and everything to lose". It's a tough call - as a D-III fan, I find myself pulling for the underdog in those situations, but I think that the more successful the D-III teams become, the less useful they become to their D-I opponents, who, as you said, are looking for confidence builders.
