FB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[02 Warhawk]

Is WW playing a bunch of pushovers because they couldn't schedule anyone else? Seems like a poor way to prepare for conference play. Their next opponent, Keystone, lost to Southern Virginia, 38 - 14. SV, 73 - 7 losers to RF, is in same conference as Keystone.

Of course, comparative scores may mean nothing.

Yes, this year we had particular difficulty in filling our schedule. I think we've gotten a much better jump on the next couple of years. If some of the things I've been hearing get locked in, then next year will be a much more fun and competitive non-con schedule.

That can't be right. I was told Jace was scared to play good teams.

They are playing pushovers because they WANT TO.  Going on a trip to Scranton Pennsylvania.  To play in front of a crowd of 75 FANS.  To be winning 56-0 at half.  NOTHING WAS GAINED!
They could have tested themselves by playing Grand Valley State the week before.  But why play a D2 school like La Crosse or Stout when you can get a easy and untested win. 
Really looking forward to attending the River Falls game this upcoming weekend.

Lame. Your post suffers from shallow thinking.

You really don't understand the benefit in getting backups significant game reps?

What size crowd will attend the RF game? Somebody estimated 21K online. That seems beyond possibility, or isn't it?

First, it depends on the weather.  The game last year against La Crosse was 80 and sunny.  If it's 65-70 and sunny that's perfect. 
Do the Brewers play the Cubs, or whoever, at the same time?  If they play at night it helps
If those 2 things work out, for the games advantage, it's going to top 20k.

UW WW has had 3 20,000 plus in attendance in each of the past 3 years. So 2k is not out of reach.
