… In a contest here at Balladeer’s Blog. Since I covered the rivalry between the NAIA and D3 throughout the college football season I figured each year from now on I’d allow my readers to vote on who would win a game played between the champions of each division. Yesterday the championship games were held so this inaugural “BALLADEER’S BOWL” will be played between the NAIA’s CC Fighting Saints and D3’s UWW Warhawks. Just like in the voting in my Top 20 contests cast your vote for the team of your choice by e-mailing me at Thtcom15@aol.com . I’ll announce the winner on Christmas Eve.
