FB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[cubs]

What are everyone's thoughts on the overall success we might see from the WIAC today?

4-0? 3-1? 2-2? 1-3? or a dreaded 0-4?

Call me crazy, but I don't think a 4-0 slate is out of the question...

Was hoping for 4-0, but will have to settle for 3-1....

La Crosse 9 Hope 7
Platteville 24 Alma 7
River Falls 58 Chapman 7
DePauw 26 Whitewater 23
-Whitewater had a chance to tie or take the lead but throws an INT on 2nd and 1 with just under 2:00 left. DePauw was then able to kneel out the clock.

La Crosse, Platteville and River Falls defense stood tall on the day allowing the WIAC to put three teams in the Final 16 of the NCAA Division III Football Champiinship.

Platteville wins over Alma 24-7.  The real winner was Mother Nature around 12 inches of snow high winds were factors today. A few times the Refs stopped the game to allow the ground crew to clear off the yard lines. Platteville scored on 2 time consuming drives one was 99 yards near the end of 2nd quarter. The 2nd drive came in the 3rd quarter a 80 plus yard drive which ate up around 8 minutes. Zac Bothun rushed for over 140 yards. Platteville passed for over 200 yards in very difficult conditions. At this time it looks like Platteville will be at Bethel next weekend.

Whoopsi. Now how can that happen? Losing to a team that took second place in an inferior conference? The best defense in the country allowing almost 200 yds on the ground? And at home?
I'll tell you.
The refs screwed us again. They could have called a holding penalty on every play. How else do you explain all the rushing yds against our team. Don't the refs know who we are? And especially at home? Every time Klunker passed, there was either holding or pass interference from the DBs.
If it wasn't snowing, there's no doubt it would have been a different story. Felt like it only snowed when our Warhawks had the ball.
Here's hoping Nick Saban takes the best job in the country. Or wait another year when Lance will need a job. Or just hire all of us. We seem to have all the answers.
On a positive, I'm sure we'll still be ranked in the top 25 in the final and preseason rankings. Even though I don't know why. But that public perception will give us a leg up to maybe sneak into the playoffs next year. Just need a chip and a chair. Then we roll in the playoffs to another championship.

I can't tell if this is a bit or not, but not because it's good.

Looks like a MIAC-WIAC border battle next week, and if LaCrosse could do us all a huge favor and take out NCC that'd be awesome
