We’re on the move
Aug
2006
After nearly 16 years in the Washington, D.C., metro area, I’m moving to Connecticut.
This move has been a long time coming. I’ve worked at USA Today for a dozen years now, mostly with Baseball Weekly/Sports Weekly, but starting later this month I’ll be taking a job at NBCSports.com.
Although I don’t fully yet know what days and nights of the week I’ll be working, you can assume that I’ll be showing up at games in and around the area.
What else does this mean for D3football.com? The site is not going away — shoot, D3football.com/D3hoops.com experience helped me get this job. But we’ll be relying on other people within the organization to do a little more on game nights, when I’m at work, in terms of doing the first updates on the front page, stuff like that. Our recently announced partnership with D3Scoreboard.com will help out as well, since it will improve our collection of scores as well as server performance.
The transition period might be a little rough, and there will be entire days where I am away from the computer, most likely. The job search also has contributed to the somewhat quiet nature of the blog this summer. We ask your patience. But yes, I do have a full-time job, and D3sports.com is not it. We have to pay the bills and feed the three kids, after all.

Finally we will have an accurate assessment of the Trinity’s vs. the Union’s
of the world.

The old adage that hard work “does” pay off couldn’t be more true in this instance.
Say “Hi” to David Letterman for me.
Nice gig!
Maybe now you can show D1 how to do a tournament style national championship. This means we won’t see you on selection Sunday?!
Can I have your autograph on one of those 8″ x 10″ glossy photos?
Congratulations Pat!

Who on earth would want to live in Connecticut?
Congrats on the new position and good luck with the move. Maybe we’ll pass one another on my move out west.

There once was sports guy named Cole
Whose humor was biting and droll
He said “My promotion
Is due to devotion
To family and dodging the dole!”
Good luck in the Nutmeg State, whatever that means!

Even though it isn’t D3, you will have to go to a Yale v. Harvard game. Kick a**

Congratulations. Obviously you’ve poured heart, soul, and passion into a “hobby” involving DIII football and basketball, and we all hope you are able to continue contributing in some fashion.
And now a question demonstrating my ignorance…..what in your background prompted your interest in pursuing your hobby?

Sincerely best luck to you and your family in your new position. Only the lucky few get to do something for a living that they really love.

Pat, never met ya but I would just like to tell you how wonderful this page is. Thanks for all the hard work that allows the d3 football fans to really get inside the game and dicuss what we truly love to watch. I wish the best on this move for you and your family. I look forward to reading the season preview, dlippiel
