Quote from: AndrewB on August 24, 2026, 12:01:04 AMPlatteville has been doing a wonderful job on social media.  Interviews with the head coach and over 300 photos of team activities.
Whitewater has been AWFUL.  ZERO videos, ZERO photos.  Only thing in two weeks was an announcement about an upcoming change in the beer garden at the game.  I'm sure it's not a price break.
Still no reports about the starting QB for either Oshkosh or Stout Poly.

I assume UWP has some students handling their social media. Maybe Whitewater needs to fill that position and doesn't have a returning person to do it.

Quote from: ChickenHoops on August 19, 2026, 06:57:59 PMHeather (my fiance) was in the Point area for a baby shower for my sister, and she heard that Seth Miron was going to leave the MBB team and come back to be an option QB in 2026 and 2027. Something about qualifies for another year of eligibility this way. Seems to be reasonable decision as their MBB team is likely not going to be a tourney team. Could really improve Point FB.

...can't figure out if troll or not...

I don't doubt that Zweifel will be a good coach, but Leipold and Spencer both inherited programs that had been to the Stagg Bowl in the previous season. La Crosse hasn't reached the Stagg Bowl since the 90s, let alone the semi-finals, and while it's possible they will, they have work to do to get there.

Quote from: Mitch Hall on July 15, 2026, 02:17:52 PMWow. Why so high on the Eagles ?

First, they have a D2 lineup.

Offensive coordinator Tarek Yaeggi is going into his second season. I expect a improvement with Senior QB Haas and a top 5 nationally wide receiver in Janke.  Transfer RB Marc Coy.  Still have a huge O-line. 
They have taken a huge hit on the kicking game.
Also favorable schedule.  Have Whitewater, River Falls and Platteville all at home.

Doesn't most of the top half of the WIAC have rosters that could compete in D2?

Losing a head coach matters, even if you promote from within your program. That's going to matter at some point this year. But they're not the second best team in the country. Hell, they might not be the second best team in the WIAC this year.

Quote from: AndrewB on July 12, 2026, 09:35:39 PMNot to get too off topic.  Do the players that live on campus move into temporary rooms?  When I went to College at UWO, football players didn't have a dorm building for themselves.  Do they move twice then during the summer? 

Unless something has changed drastically, students who need to move in early for sports or other extracurriculars (marching band, for example) can do so. Unless their room isn't available for some reason, but they should be able to move in.

If not, I assume they treat whatever temporary housing they have like a hotel.

Quote from: palum on July 01, 2026, 08:58:48 AMI've seen some news reports that former UW WW AD Shawn Eichorst is a leading candidate to be Wisconsin's next AD.

Leipold to UW once he gets rid of Fickell?

Quote from: emma17 on October 25, 2025, 09:38:40 PMWhat a great fourth quarter by UWW. UWP had the lead and the momentum, but the Warhawk D held again to force a punt. UWW's offense looked like the teams of old- running and passing for chunk yards.

Three games now w punt snap/catch issues. UWW would be undefeated without those miscues.

UWW could make a deep run this year if their offense continues to improve and click...especially if they get the special teams issues ironed out.

Great game by the Pioneers.
Holy toss up in the WIAC.
UWP looked unstoppable today.
UWW looked physically dominant last night.
Both got beat the week before.

I thought Whitewater beat SP last week. It was a long week, maybe I'm wrong

Correct- I wasn't of sound mind when I posted (trying to set up a new smart watch that is supposed to be "intuitive"- I call BS)- sorry for the harmless error.
The point remains the same, one week UWP and UWW look dominant against top WIAC competition, yet in previous weeks they get beaten by top WIAC competition.

As for UWW's win vs UWS- as much as I loved the ball control and physicality, I'm highly skeptical of the pedestrian passing game and fear it will ultimately end the Warhawk season too soon.

I cannot figure out if it's execution or play calling that's holding back the passing game. Maybe both.

Where are you seeing those names?

That's what the UMHB broadcast/radio folks called them.

Quote from: BigMark on September 15, 2025, 05:53:06 PMI was really high on UWRF early in the year. I am not sure you can win 50-49 games every week in this league. The defenses are to good and offensively as the weather changes ball control becomes a back factor. UWRF will go up and down on offense as long as Blaha stays healthy. I am really surprised to see the defense struggle the way it has. Coe is a really good football team and that is a great win for the WIAC. If UWRF can get a few stops on defense, I think UWP vs UWRF will be for a conference title.

Come on now.

If UWRF actually has problems on defense, "getting a few stops" isn't going to solve it in the WIAC.

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. 

Oh, I will. UMHB is always stacked with speed, but I think their inexperience on the interior of their line will make a big difference. If they can't stop the run, they won't stop UWW.

Not surprised to see Klinkner pop up above Lucero on the two deep this week. Seemed like the offense ran more smoothly through him, and even in the limited opportunities, the passing game was more efficient with him.

If a sophomore steps up and takes the reigns for UWW, they might finally have a chance to have a QB grow through a few years as a starter.

Quote from: PauldingLightUP on May 18, 2025, 09:47:38 PMWell, whatever hosting issues Whitewater had this weekend have been solved.

Oshkosh at Whitewater coming up next Friday and Saturday

Of course, because as a regular opponent, UWO already knows no metal cleats on the mound at Whitewater..

Have we confirmed that's what it is? How dumb.

I don't think the issue was the "No Metal Cleats" on the mound at Whitewater...

The problem was the lack of communication (whether intentionally or accidentally) to the other teams at the 2024 Regional who were left scrambling trying to find footwear for their pitchers while being hundreds (or thousands in the case of Cal Lutheran) from home.

Based on the awarding of the 2025 Regional to Adrian, it's not too difficult to see how the NCAA viewed things...

That makes a bit more sense. Thanks for shedding some light on it. Less dumb. I assume this year will serve as enough punishment for that issue. Given Whitewater's location, I can see how that would be less than fun to try and come up with cleats this late in the season easily.
