y'see, that's the thing:  "notable" does not necessarily mean "good" especially when it comes to football seasons.  Say there's 10 games in a season, then there's 10 opponents.  That gives a total of 11 teams involved in any given season (assuming each team is played only once).  So we have Teams A (home team), then B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, and K.  each week, Team A plays one of the teams from the opponent set.  Now at the end of each game, the sports information departments from each school A and opposing school goes to work with releases.  Then those releases and statistics are compiled by sportswriters across the country.  let's say that they are small schools in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics|NAIA (like the teams in question here).  There would be a minimum of 2 community newspaper articles about that game:  Team A News and Team B News (excluding school papers).  But that's not what usually happens--there's usually a few articles before and after each game... and then there's usually a regional paper or two that picks up the story (in Kansas, it is not uncommon for the Topeka Capital Journal, Wichita Eagle Beacon, Salina Journal, and Kansas City Star to run articles on each and every Kansas NAIA football game.  So the amount of press coverage created by even a small college football game (especially in recent times) is really quite large.  So for the season, you've got say 6 articles per game, you're looking at 60 articles from local papers and maybe another 40 articles from regional papers!  Not to mention the major newspapers that do pick up small college articles from time to time (NYTimes and Chicago Tribune have been known to have more than a few write-ups, as well as The Sporting News, ESPN, etc).   Throw in the news services that specialize in covering nationally NAIA sports, media guides, historical information, and a few occasional "feature" articles and you've got a notable event under .  For the record,  does not necessarily ''encourage'' season articles (or game articles) for NAIA programs, but we have put together some steps on how to do so.  Does that help at all
