EXBADGER:  Uncalled for speculation.

I suggest you delete the post.

Deleted! However...  Regardless if he is healthy or not, he won't be seeing the field until after week three.  Fact.

Pete Schmitt was released this afternoon.

Hopefully they keep him after he clears waivers and put him on IR.

That pretty much narrows down his identity.   I'd be more careful how much information I shared next time if it were me. 

If he would care at all he wouldn't have been dumb enough to be so blatant about his roid use.  Regardless of that situation, my point is that performance enhancing substances have plagued ALL levels of football for years.  Especially those programs at the top.  The pressure is there for the boys to keep winning and many don't do it naturally.

To condemn one program and think that the rest of them are clean is just naive.  Or maybe it is just that winning is so important to many people that they chose to look the other way.

Purest form of the game???  Quite possibly the dirtiest because we don't hold the athletes accountable for what they put into their bodies.

D3 should test all of its athletes.

How can you not?

Listen.  You should be careful with your comments about programs.  I am not a Stout supporter.  However, I applaud them for being the only team to step up and try to clean up their program.  Performance enhancing substances are prevelent at all levels of football.  If you think your favorite team is squeaky clean you will be very surprised when the domino's start to fall.

I played D1 football in the mid 80's and this stuff was widespread then.  Not only at that level but down to the NAIA.  I personally witnessed an OL from LAX (who had a successful NFL career) break a needle off in his arse due to the thick callous' that he had developed from the injections he was taking.

I know many players and coaches at the D3 level and they all know what goes on with many of these boys.  The satisfaction that they get is that there are many that don't juice.  These are the kids that should be applauded.

To single out one program and suggest that they should be looked at with greater suspicion is not just wrong, it is irresponsible.  Remember the old saying, Those who live in glass houses...  ...you might be shocked to learn what some of your boys are up to.

The whole league should be held accountable for their athletes off season training regimen.  D3 should not be a safe haven for those athletes that attempt to gain a little extra edge.  Any performance enhacing substances should be flushed out of the WIAC.  Unfortunately, this is not happening at this time.

Amen Brotha!!!!

Tough news for the Stout program.  I wish them well and hope that they can turn the corner.

As a result, I hope the members on this board don't jump into a tirade about the Stout program being corrupt etc.  Always remember the "Glass Houses" theory.  I truly believe that if the rest of the WIAC were to test their players, we would all be shocked by the results.  The ripple effect that it would have across the entire Conference would be quite damaging to the WIAC we love.

Looks like Wendt signed a free agent contract according to this link.

What is in store for EC this year?  They had to pass on almost every down in order to move the ball yesterday.  After watching the scrimmage against St. Thomas and listening to the game yesterday it seems clear that their O-line has got some serious issues.  The O-line is getting dominated completely at the line of scrimmage.  Their passing game will begin to suffer also if they don't find a way to stop a four man pass rush.  I kid you not when I say that their O-linemen are relying on proverbial "LOOK OUT" blocks on almost every play.

What happened to the "Pick em" thread?  Just in case it is no longer available, here are mine again.

Anyone attend the EC..St Thomas scrimmage Saturday?  Who will we see at QB for the Bluegolds?

I was there and #16 was the starting QB.  Sorry, I don't have a name for you but he looked pretty solid.  St. Thomas looked really good against the EC defense.  The starting RB for EC got stuffed quite a bit.  Number 45 for St. Thomas completely controlled the trenches.  He ate the EC O-linemen up.  EC played a couple Freshman RB's as the scrimmage went on and they looked really good.  One a speedster that hit the hole quick and the other one a slippery slasher type of RB.  This conference definitely houses stables of RB's at almost every school.
