stoutguy--good to see a post from you! When's the last time you posted b4 4/7? 2001? 

Hope you are doing well. Have you quit drinking Corona?
Still drinking Corona but the word conjures up different reactions these days.  Hope everything is well in RF.

I saw it myself and thought "he's still alive."    ;-)

Hey BW.  Hope all goes well with you.  Andrist wanted to have me ask you if you were still keeping that clock going at WW.  I just won't let that die will I? 


Still upright and breathing SG.  They haven't kicked me off the table yet.  Tell Eddie that I always liked him.  You could tell he was perturbed but at least he was decent about it.  Plus he had an interesting personality.  I'll never forget running the clock when Eddie and the #8 seeded Blue Devils took it to us in the opening round of the conference tournament.  Man, that one hurt.   lol

Take care and stay safe friend.
It's funny that you brought that Stout/WW game.   I will always remember Ed calling 50 different friends on the bus telling them the score without telling them who won.  They would immediately go into the "well you had a great season anyway" and then he would tell them who won.  It was classic Eddie.  By the way he always liked you.

Stout schedule is up.
https://athletics.uwstout.edu/schedule.aspx?path=mbball

Good news out of Menomonie: Jackson Noll of undefeated Cuba City and son of Mark Noll and grandson of AAU's Keith Noll is coming to UWStout. Great shooter, great work ethic and just an outstanding young man.  Lots of friends in Menomonie who will enjoy watching Jackson play here.

Hauser brother's transferring from Marquette....coming home to UWSP??




Yes I know it's not happening.

It'll be interesting where they go and find out the real reason why they are transferring. I'm not going to even amuse myself with the thought they'd come home. LOL

Watched Marquette all year.  Constantly frustrated watching Howard have the ball all the time, take all the shots and then the team play took over after Howard sat down.  Hausers announce a day after we here that Howard is coming back next year.  Coincidence?  Maybe-maybe not.

Thank you Warhawk players and coaches for a great year! You brought us all the way back to the door of the Stagg Bowl. Next year we knock it down! Keep Pounding that Rock!

Go Hawks!

In a perfect world we would have posters from every school on here and have great discussions. I am from Eau Claire and if you can not tell my rooting interest are for the west side of the state. I follow UWEC, UW-Stout and UWRF close. I am hoping that sometime in the next 5 years that the west side of the state can catch up with the east side. Don't be scared to post on here because their is a whitewater bias at times, as there should be. It would be great to have in depth discussions about games other than warhawk games, and that is what I am trying to bring. I have been around the league for 20 years and love following these kids through recruitment all the way to watching them Saturday's. We should be recruiting more poster rather than scaring them away!

And there you go with the victim mentality. "Scaring them away"!!!! 
Grow some _ _ _ _ s
WOW! What is that all about?

Keep it coming Brad!

Good point in that there are fewer posters from the western area of Wiscy. Fred Falcon reps UWRF pretty well, and I can relate as I played there my freshman year in 87 under Coach Farley. I banged heads with a certain guard there with the last name of Dinkel that also joined the Warhawk family later on with great success. Still friends with a couple guys from then like Glen Woychik. Walking tank, he was. Guys like Corning and Olsen were big timers. I was just a redshirt watching the amazing wishbone show.

Great to see a Stout guy in here, and you with some EC knowledge.

Who are we missing? Are there any real Platteville posters on here? I mean, they are a pretty decent program, you'd think somebody from there would chime in just what the heck is happening with the Pioneers......

Don't see much from SP guys either.

And where is UW-L guys from such a great program for decades?

Thanks  for the input on Stout/WW broadcast Emma17.    Still not sure if it was Pete and don't know who his color guy was as his regular guy was not available.  I know that because he asked me to do color with him and I declined.  I plan to ask Pete about it tomorrow at Touchdown club and I will report back what they say.  Regarding the 40 point game, I think I was way too quick to have an opinion about running up the score.  I often am accused (fairly) of talking before I think.  I am also planning on asking head coach Birmingham about his reaction to these comments and opinions.  He is a great guy, straight shooter, and will tell me exactly what he thinks.

Great post, Brad.  Another subject I would like to here a discussion about would be the WW/Stout football broadcast.  I understand it is Pete Knutson for the Stout home games.  Did not hear the broadcast but have listened to Pete do Menomonie HS, EC Express baseball and Stout football and basketball.  He is a home fan for sure but have always thought he was a first rate play be play guy.

This thread has the distinct feeling of Deja Vu.  It's like I've seen it before...  Yes!  That's it.  I have seen it before.

  I was at the Stout/WW game and saw one very good team that didn't need to work quite so hard  trying to score more points after the outcome was no longer in doubt.  But that is probably just me being very old school.

Seriously? I think that is not old school, it's ancient school thinking. As in pre-two point conversion school. Once UW-W took a 30 point lead with 9 1/2 minutes left in the game, we used our backup QB's and only threw one pass the rest of the game. Before that, our lead was 24, which in the modern, 2 point era, is only three scores. Crazy things happen in football games. I'm sorry but I don't want our guys taking their foot off the gas with a three score lead with most of the fourth quarter remaining.

BW.  You just have to let that "Take that, Whitewater" quote go but we have had a good time with it, haven't we :'(    And bleedpurple, as usual, you are right and I am wrong.  I think I will just let that one go. 


I couldn't help myself.  How can I possibly forget it?  You don't come around often enough for me to wear it out.   ;D

Miss our banter, BW.  You are a class act.  Always have been.  OzJohnnie, this is perfect.  It has context, depth, and value.  I think it is very worthy of this WIAC board.  You should stick around.

And here's the conundrum when it comes to recruiting more posters. Stoutguy's initial post gets us excited to have more participants. However, two of his posts are of a nature that draw natural rebuttal. I imagine we will lose him again because his comments/opinions were challenged- not only by UWW fans, but by others because quite frankly, they deserved to be challenged.

For future posters, this is a discussion board where people share and debate opinions. If you're going to drop in with a comment, especially one accusing UWW of essentially running up the score to get to 40 whole points, you're going to be challenged - even by reasonable people.

Thank you for that, Emma. I know a couple of years ago someone posted something to the effect that UW-W posters "piled on" other posters.  I truly have never seen that to be the case. As you pointed out so well, some comments deserve to be challenged. Discussions don't occur without responses to posts. Otherwise, this board would be just a random collection of posts lacking context, depth, or value...in other words,  Facebook.  ;)

That was noble of you Emma, to defend bleedpurple.  Reminds me of a post I made several years ago (I realize this is a football board) about how I thought Pat Miller was really out of control on the sidelines.  Apparently that was worthy of challenge too, because the WW faithful drilled me to the max.  Did they "pile on?"  I thought so but perhaps that comment,  too, was lacking context, depth, and value so perhaps would have been better served on Facebook.

Hey Brad,
I am enjoying your weekly predictions and seeing the reactions or additional insights. It definitely starts a bigger conversation. This board tends to be UWW focused, with a little OWO thanks to 78. I really like the insights about all of the teams in the league and what is really happening in the conference top to bottom. Please, keep it coming! I catch 1 or 2 Warhawk games a year and the media does such a lousy job covering the league that this place is the only real WIAC news I get!
UWW focused?  Really :D

You could make more than one post in six months!

Geez, Pat, make up your mind.  When we used to have you on our show, you thought I talked too much, now I don't talk enough?  I was at the Stout/WW game and saw one very good team that didn't need to work quite so hard  trying to score more points after the outcome was no longer in doubt.  But that is probably just me being very old school. (And rankings  being affected by point totals.)  I did not hear any radio so have no comment on the media coverage.  I don't post much anymore because, quite frankly, I just don't pay enough attention to have much to add to people who are so passionate about their sport.  Didn't mean to offend anyone.
