1:00:57 Derrick Baney - Grove CityWhat a time for D1R! This episode starts with Kutztown Bears alum Craig Reynolds who has carved out a nice NFL career with the Detroit Lions, but his journey was anything but simple: being cut from 7 different teams and having to earn it every step of the way is nothing new to the small school product. Next up is Carnegie Mellon head football coach Ryan Larsen who outlines the Tartans upcoming trip to play overseas in Spain and how it adds to the student-athlete experience at CMU. We also talk moving from the PAC to the Centennial Conference. Finally offensive line coach and recruiting coordinator Derrick Baney from Grove City College jonis the program to discuss one of the best stories in small school football. The Wolverines were a combined 0-33 when he and the staff took over, and now they are in the national championship conversation after back to back conference titles, a testament to the vision he speaks about.New Haven University is making the jump from Division 2 to Division 1 (FCS) and joining the Northeast Conference, and we cover Division 3 Montclair State travelling north to play in Ottawa, Ontario for a game they're calling "The Battle of the Border". Thanks for tuning in!
