FB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Gig Harbor Cat]

happy to put you at -1660 TDT

The money was a non issue, once ole blue started the high octaine longies flowing at the tailgate.  BOOM wallets just seemed to start opening up.  Should have been there.  I even got all singles so you would be set for a session at Alfs.

You picking the Hawks by forty makes me and all of the Catdome fans smile.  Now we know you are always off by at least 40 so looks like we are back to a pickem game dude.  27 MGD's for Wildcat 11 gimme a break TDT  That big guy would use that as a warm up.

If you can't pick a better spread than that then I will just pick a score and PHONE IT IN myself.

Ha Stanbob.  You've been in rare form lately.  All over Touchdown T (even last week when I couldn't defend myself).  There might be some daily -K in your future if this continues...

Hey, you know it is all in good fun, though your ust(D) "transgressions" do dismay me.

But then there is the issue of several MILF's in the ST. Thomas section last weekend who kept holding up an 8x10 of that picture of him on johnniefootball.com every time their team would get a first down.

What does one make of the UWW-Wittenberg Quarterfinal game? Does the fact that Witt stayed so close for so long represent a chink in the UWW armor? My take:

Nice writeup, bleedpurple. I think with the passing game the Warhawks just need to keep everything in front of them. Let their speed make the plays and force the turnovers. Don't let the receivers get behind them.

Against Linfield, let's pound the rock harder! Keep the Wildcats off the field. 

[Raider 68]

Linfield has given up over 3 TD's per game, yet are in the final four.

Given that stat: How will UWW attack Linfield, will it be ball control
and/or the big play to force Linfield into a catch-up mode? How good is the Linfield passing game and can it keep the game close like Wittenberg did for all but 19 minutes?

[janesvilleflash]

I'll just answer the last part of the last question.

No.

Whatever the defense gives us....it looks like their D is prone to giving up big chunks of rushing yards, over a 100 per game..Which fine by me. Mix that with a few play actions, and hopefully our WR's won't drop any passes this week    

Thier pass defense ranks 100th in the country   , giving up just under 200 yards per game.  but they still managed to average close to 2 ints per game which is impressive.

I would have to say that D III has a few more than "2 levels" bp. Are you putting Crown, Lakeland Northwestern et. al in with Linfield, St John's Wittenberg, UMHB  and many others? I guess when you're at the stratospheric level that UWW is, you may not be able to see all those tiers so far below. You know, the one UWW was at only six short years ago.

[Bubs1856]

I don't think a +17 or so in turnover margin In the playoffs is to shabby either.  Makes up for some of those so called shortcomings by the Cat D. 

[CAT BAT 22]

So Janesville... give me a number... Warhawks win by how much?  

[Touchdown Tommy]

I'll take that one Flash.

87 points

Gee....how do those 17 players on the Ravens from sun belt schools play in that weather at Lambeau – at night!?

And those 21 sun belt players on the Packers? Wow! They have to practice in that LINFIELD stopping weather!


So here you go Newbies...what the fuss is all about. When the 'Hawks took that big step forward at our expense.

After the final WW score I reached out to shake the hand of this WW fan that I'd quipped with earlier and the whippersnapper shook his head NO! replied something like, "Oh no, not with that quarterback you've got. No, no, no no."
That Gagliardi trophy winner had just thrown three incompletions, fumbled, and had two passes tipped - one for the game winner. And your guy still had faith in him with seconds left on the clock. So did I, I suppose.

Retagent,

I am not at all saying D3 has only 2 levels. The point of the blog wasn't to dissect the various levels of D3 Football (good thought for a blog during the offseason, though   )

I actually brought "levels" into the discussion simply by asking a question:

"Does it (the close game with Wittenberg) dent the popular notion that Division 3 Football has two levels: the top level being UWW and Mount Union, the next level being everyone else?"

First, please note that I describe that thought (two levels), as a "popular notion", not my opinion. Secondly, I'd point out that the context of that description was framed under a question related to complaints from UWW/MUC opponents from time to time regarding the STAGG BOWL. The framing question was this:

"Does the close game with Wittenberg put to rest the "inevitability" of a UWW/Mount Union Stagg Bowl?"

I have read a number of posts from backers of various schools lamenting the "inevitability" of another UWW/Mount Union Stagg Bowl.  My overall point in that part of the discussion was made in the following sentence:

"I believe that what this game showed is that UWW must bring their best game to the table to win their next two games."


I attempted to give Wittenberg credit for a game well played. I clearly landed on the side that nothing is inevitable regarding UWW in the Stagg Bowl, although I do think they remain a favorite to get there.

Seems like your trying to find arrogance where there is none, Retagent.
