Today's installment of "RFC Postseason's Greetings" features an recent "instant classic" from the night of Friday, December 15, 2023. That was when the State University of New York at Cortland Red Dragons did battle with the then-defending national champion North Central College Cardinals from Naperville, Illinois, in the 50th edition of the Stagg Bowl, which was played at Salem Stadium in Salem, Virginia. In one of the greatest games played in the half-century of NCAA Division III football, the Red Dragons stopped a two-point conversion attempt in the final seconds to stun the Cardinals, 38-37, and claim Cortland's first-ever national championship. Cortland finished the 2023 season at 14-1 overall, with their only loss coming to Susquehanna, 38-35, on September 16.
