Quote from: D3fanboy on October 12, 2025, 10:27:03 PMunfortunately, with the expanded playoffs pushing everything back a week.  I doubt that you'll ever see those large attendance numbers at Mount again.  Maybe if you got JCU in a round that isn't over Thanksgiving, maybe.  The UWW semi-final was something special

Even though it was the most lopsided loss I've seen UW-W take in 60 years, the atmosphere in the 2015 semi's was incredible.

And that's saying a lot considering the huge crowds UWW plays in front of! I think UWW vs UWL broke 20k IIRC

No doubt! The atmosphere when we get on those huge crowd Saturdays is amazing! So much fun! But it's not all about the total number of people. When you pack out a smaller venue, it really does rival the big numbers. The Mount crowd behind our bunch was antagonizing, but in kind of a fun way. And for whatever reason, the crowd felt almost as loud as the huge crowds at the Perk!

If this is truly what you think of d3 football, I'm sure there are other message boards that you can post on because clearly you don't know what you are talking about.

I think he actually does know what he's talking about, but he's a troll who likes to yank people's chains. Sort of like D3fanboy when he wanders down to the ASC board to remind them to change the oil on the car they are supplying their players. (He didn't literally use that one, but you get the point). But the difference is d3fanboy does engage in meaningful discussion at times like the one happening now, where I haven't seen "nuts" do that.

Quote from: badgerwarhawk on September 13, 2025, 05:31:09 PMWARHAWKS win easily over NAIA Saint Xavier 37-0.  Xavier's defense played to stop the run and had some success holding the WARHAWKS to 110 yards rushing on 39 attempts (10:QB). Klinkner had a solid day going 20/24, 243 yds, 3 tds and completing passes to 10 different receivers. This was a good day in his development. He completed passes on and off platform, under duress and  spread the ball around.

I wasn't able to see the game today, but the passing stats look great. Glad to see the Warhawks working both aspects of the game. Big matchup coming up. Looking forward to it.

Same. Wasn't able to watch, but was pleasantly surprised to see the stats. Efficient and productive.

I'm not going to get too excited...yet.

Check in Saturday night. 

Quote from: Crubacker on September 14, 2025, 06:42:27 PMWatched the UW-W game this weekend.  Don't know if it was just the competition they faced but their defense looked to be pretty fast and aggressive.  They didn't do much on the ground but the QB looked pretty sharp.

St. Xavier had some athletes for sure. They did a ton of run blitzing, which is understandable given we put up 436 yards of rushing the week before. They wanted to make our QB/passing game beat them. Our QB Klinkner played well in his first career start. He's only a sophomore, but he's a pretty special kid. Great physical attributes and excellent poise.


I think you have a pretty good read on our defense. It's definitely hard to ascertain speed on video. But I would say pretty fast and aggressive is a good description. If we can limit the CRU's big plays, we will be fine. We have two interceptions in each game and zero turnovers on the year. That has been a huge point of emphasis since January.

The CRU will be the most talented and best team we have faced this year and it isn't close.

Quote from: 02 Warhawk on September 12, 2025, 11:19:44 AMSpeaking of Lucero, in the 2 deep he's listed as a freshman, but on the UWW website roster he's a junior. Considering he transferred in from GVS, I assume he's a Jr?

Aiden is a junior.

Quote from: GBMAN on September 07, 2025, 09:57:26 AMNice start for Wisconsin Whitewater

Considering the level of competition, anything less than what we saw from Whitewater yesterday would've been cause for concern... They did exactly what most expected them to do against an inferior opponent.

I agree UWW ultimately won by a margin they likely should have. I'm just not sure at all about the offense. It's totally possible the game plan was limited and designed to focus on running the ball. The score was 24-7 at half and one of the TD's was a kick return.
8-11 combined passing for UWW.
51 rushes, 21 of which were from the UWW QB's.
Based on these numbers I have no idea what the UWW offense will be or look like.
We will see.

Agreed. We don't know all our offense will be and neither do the teams we are going to play. Don't expect to learn much next week either. We've got La Crosse for our first conference game. Let's just say they won't know what to expect. Caden is very aware of what he puts on film. One thing we can be confident of is that if a team can't slow down our running game, they are going to get a big dose of it.

If the big picture plan truly is to keep the passing game off film to limit UWL's preparation- my hats off to the staff for such advance planning.
Of course you weigh that approach to losing the opportunity to get valuable practice and experience for the new QB's and receivers.
21 rushes from the QB position will force UWL to game plan it, but it's also taking many valuable plays away from the running backs and passing game to get better.

100% agree with this as well. My uneducated guess is that we will see a more balance approach to game two. The other thing that took away from opportunities in the passing game was the score and those long touchdown runs. I do think we are putting a premium on physicality on both sides of the ball this year and if a team can't stop the run, we are going to keep pounding it. But I agree that to win the big games, we need balance to be a truly dangerous offense. Again, uneducated guess, I think we are going to lean on the run and dominating on defense while the young offense rounds into form. The standard is high but I think the game plan is to set the offense up for success by giving them time to grow.

Love that we had 0 turnovers. I honestly can't remember the last time we lost a game without any turnovers.

Sorry, Cubs. Don't know how those guy are stacking up.

Blaha is one of those guys that seems like he's been around forever! In my mind, very worthy of this designation. He is special. It sounds like Coach Walker is going to be challenging his group to step up in big games. I'm sure he's backing his public comments up in camp with "but paper means nothing, you guys need to walk the walk".

Once again the WIAC is going to be annoyingly good this year!
