FB: Upper Midwest Athletic Conference

The Tommies have ugly uniforms.  And since they are not a Benedictine school, they are inferior.

I'm surprised the Toms haven't gone all out like Oregon with 15,000 different uniform combinations.
They're certainly closer to the Ducks than any other D3 team. Boy, I sure wish we could dress up our football players like a bunch Ken Dolls.

Just want to look nice when we TRIPLE MONKEY STOMP the Johns.

Just so we're clear, 63-7 is no TRIPLE MONKEY STOMP.  63-0, yes, but not 63-7!

Best of luck to the Greenville College Panthers this year as they open camp later this week...

How's it looking?  They're picked as a pretty strong favorite to win the UMAC.  EC is looking good, according the talk, but I'm a little worried about us offensively.  Going to be tough to make up for losing Schmidgall and Hess, and while I like Dawson, he's not a power back.  However, our defense will be very tough up front, secondary is always a question.  That said, I think we can finally finish with a winning record if the chips fall right.  This conference is always wide open--that's what makes it a good fit for us despite the travel.

Excellent Pat! I love that you guys are intentional to visit teams that fall far outside the Top 25 and bring them coverage as well. And how great that you got to see such a great game and offensive shootout! Good stuff.

Just driving by to say hi.

To fans of D-3 football everywhere.  I am honored to have been asked to spread the word regarding a new cancer fund that has been established to help Tom Pattison, UW-W sports broadcaster and founder of www.warhawkfootball.com    I and my family know, all to well, how a cancer diagnosis can be devastating to a families daily lives and finances. Please, consider making even the smallest donation to Tom.

The following is an open letter by Retired UW-W Coach Bob Berezowitz:

Team Tom Cancer Fund Drive established

Once a Warhawk, always a Warhawk are the often spoken words by Tom Pattison, longtime "voice" of the Warhawks. Over the many years of broadcasting UW-Whitewater football, basketball and baseball games on KOOL 106.5 (and prior to that (940 WFAW), Tom has "bled purple" during each one of his broadcasts.

Unfortunately, on May 28, 2012 Tom was diagnosed with advanced stage 2 colon cancer. He underwent colorectal cancer surgery in Fort Atkinson and in the process has developed astronomical hospital and medical bills.

Tom has already gone through the first phase of radiation treatment at the UW Cancer Clinic along with chemotherapy with phase two starting later this month.

Tom has given his heart and soul to Warhawk athletics over his 25 years of living here in southern Wisconsin. He served six years as the president of the UW-Whitewater Quarterback Club and still serves on the club's board of directors.

In 2003 Tom founded Warhawkfootball.com where Warhawk fans, players, former players and parents have been able to view up-to-date Warhawk football news and information 365 days a year. Nearly 1.5 million visitors have clicked onto the Website over the years.

The Website that has been funded entirely by Tom has been a popular "voice" for Warhawk football fans not only locally but around the world.

Well now Tom needs your assistance in his battle with cancer.

With the help and leadership of UW-Whitewater Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Paul Plinke and former Warhawk football coach Bob Berezowitz and KOOL 106.5 Radio a team has been set up to lead a campaign to raise funds for Tom.

The "Team Tom Cancer Fund" has been established through Commercial Bank in Whitewater and is now accepting donations.

Donations may be sent to: Team Tom Cancer Fund, c/o Commercial Bank, 200 South Freemont St. Whitewater, WI 53190

The fund raising drive will also include Tom Pattison Day at Perkins Stadium on Oct. 6, 2012. More details will be announced shortly.

"I have known Tom for many years while coaching and now in retirement," Berezowitz said. "There is not another person who has given more of himself to help promote UW-Whitewater football. He is always writing articles for both past and present players that are published on his Website.

It is now our turn to say "thank you" for his efforts by considering making a donation to the to assist Tom in his time of need.

Go Warhawks,
Bob Berezowitz
UW-Whitewater Football Coach/Retired

Greenville wins on Saturday...

I disagree.

I disagree.

Who gets the bid if Greenville wins, or what is the tie-breaking criteria in the UMAC?
