Do not adjust your television. This is indeed a rematch of the 2017 Stagg Bowl when the Purple Raiders ended The Cru's attempt at back-to-back titles in shutout fashion. The two begin a new era of Stagg Bowl history with the first DIII football championship ever to be played in the state of Texas.
Here's what you need to know about both of these historic programs heading into Friday's matchup.

Well...that gives Mary Hardin Baylor home field basically, as they are located just north of Austin, and this game in Shenandoah TX is in a suburb of Houston.
Also....I thought they were going to start playing some of these games at the HOF stadium, Canton.

That bracket is a bit misleading....it looks like the Notre Dame/Ferris State game would be the Championship.....but those were not. In checking a website further, it looks like Notre Dame lost to Valdosta State in the semifinals. And Valdosta State will play Ferris state for the D-II title.
Oh...and I also see that the D-II game is to be held in Texas: McKinney TX.....which is a town just north of Dallas.
And, I also see that the FCS title game has been played in Frisco TX for several years now, and I assume so again. Frisco TX is right next door to McKinney TX.
WTF is the fascination with Texas for holding these lower level title game?

Texas is willing to host these smaller school games.
I remember watching YSU play in Frisco, TX.
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

Tom Benson Stadium in Canton will host the Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl in 2020 & 2021.
It will be a short drive for me to watch my Purple Raiders play.

I suspect a lot of places are willing to host them.
And the thing is....its not like it is real warm in Dallas this time of year..they often have ice storms and cold weather. Now, if they were holding the games in Jerry World, that would be something.
Hell....there is an idea! Hold both in that dome,and make it a double header. Or, even all three if you include the FCS game.

I knew I had heard they would be there...just did not know when it would start.

D-III UMHB 14 Mount Union 13 halftime, ESPNU. A near home game for the Texans.
Interesting game, these guys are big for D3.....naturally.

Home field advantage worked for the Texas team.
