I don't know any transfers but that brings up a question- what transfers have had the biggest impact on UWW football during this run from 2005 season?
I don't have the history so I'll throw out some obvious names in no particular order:
Matt Blanchard-QB
Danny Jones-QB
Lane Olson- LB

Greg Arnold - LB
Robby Ustruck - OL

Both First Team All-Americans

Was D. Stanley a transfer?  I thought I read something about Madison w him.
How about D linemen Griz, Kleppe or Hicks?

Stanley, Griz and Kleppe all started and finished at UWW.

Congratulations WARHAWKS! LL has won more national championships than he's lost games.......... btw, how do I change the signature again? I need to add something 

Was just thinking of the irony of your Coach Z not getting that job, LL's amazing success, and Z's son being the best d3 player this year.  Would be interesting to know how things would have been any different in WW.  Pretty difficult to predict that things could have been any better than they are right now.

I think things worked out for the best. LL proved why he got the job over Z. PP made the right chioce.

Besides, in little Z's Gagliardi trophy interview with Keith, he mentioned how he always wanted to go away for college and get out of Whitewater. So if Z got the job as UWW head coach, there's was no gaurantee Michael would have been a Warhawk then.

It'd be pretty difficult to say what would have been possible but I'm happy for our success and also that Z is successful somewhere. Dubuque went from obscurity to conference champions. It takes a heck of a coach to accomplish what each of them have done. At the end of the day.........the Warhawks win!

Emma, there is a difference in embarassment about getting pinned by 140-pounders:

were you a 110 pounder or a 170 pounder?

(Me?  I was a chubby 140 pounder in hs who was pinned by 120 pounders (in gym class; I never wrestled competitively).  In college, I didn't wrestle, directly, but as a 120 pound runner could 'leg-wrestle' (and beat) 200 pound fb players.   Pretty much the height of my athletic 'career'! )

Hmm, seeing as how nobody on this board would know any better- I was 110 pounds. 
Not, I was 190-ish.  In my lame defense, our high school was one of the best in the state so I was probably wrestling state champions 

That's my excuse too!

Since we all have a tendency to exaggerate our early exploits, good to see an honest man!  +k

(I sometimes tell the story of blocking the shot of a 6'8" opponent [I'm 5'8"] without bothering to include that in my race downcourt [ignoring a teammate under the basket] I blew the layup.   Or tell of the night, playing 1-on-1, that I scored 34 [in church league bball] against a starter on my hs team, forgetting to mention that he scored 50+.   You're a better man than I. )

At least you went to the right hoop.....can't say the same for myself

He's the 12th man on both sides of the ball

Congratulations Dubuque! I knew you guys would win a championship sometime soon!

02, you definitely didn't get any hits from me!

I agree that the OLine is generally the key for running backs, but there are occasional gifted exceptions.  Barry Sanders made it into the NFL HoF with NO decent OLine.  If there were such a stat kept, I suspect he LOST more yards than anyone else in NFL history.  But IF he escaped those in-the-backfield tacklers, he just might go all the way!  No offense to Gale Sayers, Walter Payton, or any other gifted runners, but Barry Sanders was the most exciting runner ever.  (On sheer power, Jim Brown may have been even better, but I'll put them 1a and 1b.)

Since he wanted to still be able to walk at age 50, he retired in his prime.  If he had had decent protection up front, he would have set the rushing yardage at a level never to even be approached.  I'm old enough that I recall Sayers in his prime - Barry Sanders was MORE electrifying.  Unless he got immediately smushed (which happened WAY too often ), on EVERY play you held your breath wondering if he would go for the TD.

Retiring when he did was a great decision......as you can see not much has changed in Detroit. This draft made me, as a Packer fan, rejoice. Between the Christian Ponder decision and the drafting of another D lineman and WR instead of an offensive lineman by Detroit I feel much more secure.

There is no way UWM will have a football team.  No facility and Title IX.  And virtually nobody cares.

I've umpired on Aaron Field in Milwaukee, where UWM plays its home baseball games (it's used for hgh school games, too).  That makes it the one and only Div I field in the state.  It's a cow pasture - lumpy, weedy grass, rusty fences, gates that are hanging and uncloseable, bleachers that you couldn't pay me to sit on.  And nobody cares.

And basketball at UWM?  "Let's build a nice new on-campus facility"  pssst .... nobody really cares about that .... 1,500 per game .....

I live about 45 minutes from UWM. If they fielded a football team I'd go and watch them and I think other people would as well. It would be nice to be able to drive less than an hour to watch a quality college football game (Madison is at a minimum, 4 hours on the road round trip).

I'm knocking on wood as I speak but I'm glad that we have the problem that we have at QB this year. I'm very excited to see what this year's Warhawk team will look like. I wonder how many transfers we will get from UNO? I know that theres been plenty of coaching talent going between the two schools. I hope they send some athletes our way as well.

LAX fans:  Can you give some guidance as to the best places to enjoy a cold brewskie between sessions of the D3 wrestling tournament?  It would be best if it were within walking distance since I'd prefer not getting an OMVI while visiting LaCrosse.

I'm too old to know the names of all the bars downtown; there are plenty within walking distance, seeings there's 3rd Street but a block away...

Rocky Rococo's Pizza, Hooters, The Bodega Pub, Big Al's Pizza, Buzzard Billy's Flying Carp Cafe are all places where food is served dowtown; I believe brewskis are severed at all of them as well, and are all walking distance away...

Coconut Joe's, The Library, Brother's. There's also another bar that has virtually every kind of beer imaginable, but I forgot the name.......probably because they have every kind of beer imaginable

If I were one of the players fined $50000 or $75000 earlier in the season I'd be calling the commissioner's office and asking why my hit cost me five to seven and half times more than Peppers' cost him.  I don't think Peppers intended to harm Rodgers or that his hit was intentional but I don't think several of the other players fined earlier in the season meant it either and their penalty was significantly more severe.  This just doesn't seem consistant at all. 

It's not consistent and that's why it sucks. These fines are thrown around arbitrarily and is especially unfair because you will be fined less depending on who you hit.

The NFL decided to give Julius Peppers essentially a 'free pass' for trying to decapitate Aaron Rodgers.  A 'chump change' $10,000 fine.  (I still can't believe Julius actually tried to protest getting flagged at all! )

That hit deserved at least $50,000 AND a suspension.

I don't think that is official...yet, since the NFL doesn't announce fines until Friday each week. I read where the 10 Grand was a rumor from a friend of Peppers with "knowledge" of the situation. Do you have a link quoting the NFL on that? Should have been at least $25,000 - rather intentional, dangerous, and to me, looked like an obvious attempt to knock A-Rod out of the game (and the SB).

I believe it was the right call after seeing the hit in slow motion but I did not see intent to do harm.   Here is a picture of the hit showing Peppers had Rogers wrapped up around the numbers, helmet to the side with his face mask making contact at his shoulder, catching him under the chin.  There was helmet to helmet, unfortunately, (which is why it was a good call,) but to say it was an, "obvious attempt to knock Rogers out of the game," is looking through gold and green glasses, IMHO, BoBo. He didn't aim for the head and hitting the numbers and wrapping up use to be the textbook way of making a tackle.  It seems the NFL agrees with me as reflected in the fine amount.  Just my $.02 on it.  Was going to stay out of it but it has been a rather brutal week around here listening to my favorite sports talk radio stations.  The loss was bad enough but all the collateral damage for the Bears is salt in the wound for this Bears fan.     Glad it is over and some of us are  back on the same team again!  GO  WARHAWKS!

I agree. The hit was a good call and should have been fined, per the rule, but not suspended. I hate the turn that the league is taking to protect their pocketbooks under the disguise of "player safety". This rule is a crock and needs to at the very least be changed. It's amazing to me some of the fines that have been levied against defensive players but people like Hines Ward have escaped much of the league imposed penalties.

Hopefully the sports illustrated curse will hit cutler, and he will show his true BAD CUTLER and the packers will show why they are the best team. The first time they played they had  aproblem with controlling their emotions. To many flags.
The second time I think they were worried that they might play them again in the first round of the playoffs. So they held thigns back. Which I personaly think is foolish especiall since they have all 16 games of theirs on film.
Either way the Packers will WIN.
Clay Mathews>brian urlacher, Aaron Rodgers>Cutler McMarthy>Lovie Smith. PACKERS>bears WISCONSIN>illinois.

Really??? last time I checked Smith has a winning record against McCarthy (as well as McMarthy   ).

Smith won the division and was awarded a first round bye. not bad coaching for a team projected to finish 8-8, with far less talent compared to the Packers.

The funny part about it is that we're playing with several guys who weren't even thought about before we were hit with several key injuries and we still have more talent  . If we made it this far this year, next year........
