If you're not a fan of Division Three college football, you might have missed the news that the University of Saint Thomas football team is having a great year.
They've made it further in the playoffs than any St. Thomas team has before. Saturday's quarter-final game in McMinnville, Oregon will be the first time the Tommies have ever played in December.
It's also the first time in 105 years the team has needed to take an airplane to a game.
Just off the plane, Coach Glenn Caruso, who's led the Tommies for the last two years, joined Tom Crann on the phone from Oregon to talk about the game.
