Because of the bird flu risk we are dividing our chickens from the barn into 12 separate coops, these are what they look like. A lot more work but likely the birds survive.   

Apple Crunch Day?  What is that ?

UW Oshkosh opens at Iowa State?  Wow.

Is St Norbert College joining the CCIW?  That is what I heard.  Was at the regional USDA office and this guy had some SNC logo on his jacket, we were talking and he thinks they are in the wrong league.

See you guys in December.  What a disaster this could be.

See you guys in December.  What a disaster this could be.

The cooler weather has really helped the chickens to recover.  Should give me time to go talk to the Hilltop about my post game dinner ideas.

I heard of two trips that Oshkosh has taken as a regional player on their team from the Wausau area told me about it.  I can't recall where but Paris and Greece are in my recall.  One was right after they won the title (was that 2018 or 2019?) and one more recently. Parents and fans can join these trips and they played (I think) 3 games against some good and some bad teams in the host markets.

Benefit is they can practice a defined amount before the trip without violation, something Point ought to be careful with in light of their past indiscretions.

This warm stretch has the chickens worn down, need to keep them cool and watered which is a full time job.  I have second shift starting 5 pm to 1 am.

Have any WIAC volleyball players also been WBB players, at least for part of the season? 

Quote from: ChickenHoops on July 02, 2025, 01:02:28 PMI like the idea of a Hilltop Classic between Lady Dawgs and Lady Titans.  Winning team at WIAC game in Point gets a free team meal at the Hilltop. 

Will create great fan interest.  Could also publish what the ladies choose as their favorite menu item.  What might that be worth to the Hilltop?  I might go ask them to make a commitment.

Hilltop has great fish and the salads are pretty good, too.  I wonder if Brad Fischer thinks this is a good idea.  Going to go talk to the Dawg coach about the pound soon, will bring this up. 

Went to Stevens Point today to pick up some chicken feed....no really....as Amazon shipped it to the wrong address.  I drove through campus and I saw this gaggle of men who appeared to have above average height.  One was nearly 7' it appears.

I now predict Dernbach plays for a natty this year, especially after working out with a G League team.

Quote from: tomt4525 on August 13, 2025, 04:06:11 PMI also am almost positive I have found out who Coach Dernbach was talking about when he said there was another player enrolling at UWSP next semester that they are still waiting on clearance from the NCAA for.  That would be former Kewaskum/Kishwaukee CC/D2 Quincy 6'6" F Joshua Bocher.  Bocher had some impressive stats for 2 years while playing at Kishwaukee CC.  He also looked to be firmly in the rotation for D2 Quincy.  I have attached his bio from Quincy if you'd like to see his stats at his previous stops for yourself.

Whitewater must not have been able to get him enrolled. Likely a one and done with three years in. 

I was at the Sentry World Sportscenter this weekend and some guy in the grill/bar there said the Pointers were going to be good this year and will be practicing/scrimmaging vs. the Wisconsin Herd.  Seems like this wouldn't be a fair fight but this guy has a Pointers MBB shirt and he hit the ball long and straight off the practice tee before the rains came and the day drinking began.

Quote from: Mitch Hall on August 02, 2025, 01:29:10 PMI must disagree. Good atmosphere and history, seats are close to the floor. What don't you like ?

Don't like the seating patterns. Then they added the end zone area to allow fans to drink alcohol...don't think they should do that, not necessary.  Its also got an extremely loud horn....hurts the ears.  Just my two cents worth.

I think Oshkosh (sheer size) and River Falls have nicest WIAC facilities....the new EC place looks great, too. 

Quote from: Mitch Hall on July 31, 2025, 10:38:50 AMI will also miss Zorn arena, the most venerable of WIAC venues. Which homecourt now deserves that title? I would say Quandt or Bo Ryan Court.   

I think Quandt sucks, even though I am from Point.
