FB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[OshDude]

Not sure if this has been referenced, and it's a week old, but I thought this NCAA rundown of fall rivalries was interesting. Most interesting was that the D-III football rivalry that received the most play was Mount vs. Dub Dub and not the Manon Bell, Randolph-Macon vs. Hampden-Sydney or another conference scrum.

Being primarily a volleyball fan in the fall, I couldn't agree more with the No. 1 fall rivalry. In fact, Hope and Calvin are playing volleyball right now at a packed DeVos Fieldhouse (tied 1-1).

Got the Marshfield v. Menomonie Div. 2 Level 2 playoff game on the live stream. A cold product of Wisconsin effort in my hand = 16 oz., and my buddy stoutguy, who never posts anymore, doing the color on the radio.

It's all good.

BP making great points and Emma, (good points too,) is back, I feel better now.  As my good friend BDB says, "It's all good! "   
   
Now hopefully, my good friend, BoBo isn't too pissed at me.......

Hello All,
Seeing the fballfan and blugold thread tells me this is a good time to return after a self-imposed black out period. 
I put myself in the corner for two reasons- First, I was completely disrespectful to WarhawkDad in my reply to him, and for that WD, I apologize because I was wrong.  I was frustrated from a series of issues and took it out on you for no good reason.  A cooling off was needed.  Second, I needed some discipline.  I work at a desk often so it's easy for me to have the message board open.  Posting briefly is OK, but I was getting too wrapped up in detail, which took me away from the job that pays.  I think I am fully recovered now.

Allright, that covered.  In support of fballfan and blugold let me say this.  413 and WD- both of you posted about being corrected on this board.  With all due respect (and I do respect both of you), fballfan and blugold aren't talking about correcting "Junior" to "Senior".  As a guy that has given opinion on the OAC board and supported it with what I believe to be fact- I know first hand what it's like to be the recipient of replies that border WAY TOO CLOSE to personal attacks- and are flat out disrespectful-(let alone completely lacking objectivity).  I caution all on this board to pay a little more attention to the words you use- especially to non UWW'ers or those that post contrarion purple.  This isn't a "toughen up or stick it out" issue, this is reality.  The proof is in the message boards, so don't make me take the time to copy and paste to prove it because now that I'm refreshed and off the clock, I will. 

I know this is just a message board and it's supposed to be fun.  But football is an emotional game and an emotional subject- and this is the WIAC board first, not the UWW board.  Those on this WIAC board are my teammates, my friends.  Should some out of conference poster (and there are so many creative descriptions I'd like to add right here) come on this board and disrespect one of you in a blatant way, I would consider myself a putz if I did not post in support of you.  That's just the way I roll.   

So- How about them Hawks?
-My opinion- The UWW coaching staff may be doing their best job to date.  This is a Banged Up team and it's relying on many guys to step up and make contributions.  The team is playing with all the confidence of a champion in spite of the obstacles- very fun to watch. 
-I posted prior to the season that I believe the gap is closing between the top 2 and the "2nd tier" teams.  So far I think it looks that way.  This opinion is in no way an insult to UWW; in fact it's a great complement to UWW- and Mt.  Other teams are working hard and following big picture plans and they are forcing the top 2 to play through adversity.  It is great excitement.  Tomorrow's game, which I'll sadly miss, is filled with uncertainty- isn't this better than kicking the crap out of every team?  Just imagine what a loss every now and then would do for the excitement level    

BTW- I was at the Oshkosh game, sorry but I can't resist.  How about all them "gimmick, gadget and trick" plays Oshkosh needed to run in order to stay with UWW?  And oh, they just don't play a lick of defense on that team do they?  Damn that felt good!   

Welcome Back Emma

No apologies necessary.  After all us FIBS gotta stick together!   You made some great points +k from me as well.  BTW, I love your trick play comeback.  It was an excellent game.

WDad- what is FIBS if I may ask?

WDad- what is FIBS if I may ask?

Is this a serious question??  I mean, being a Cheesehead and all, you have got to have heard this before.  Well, no winky smiley so I will assume it is a legit question.  FIB stands for F&%$#ing Illinois Bast$#d!  I had never heard of the nickname myself until a coach filled me in after my son started playing for him.      I was told once that the only thing worse than a FIB was a FIBWAB.  A f#$%ing Illinois bast&*d With A Boat.   

[BDB]

Well. Ok. Good luck to you Illinois/Wiscy folks with all that!

Being up here I have never heard of that before. Good grief.

LOL.  Must be more of a border thing, I guess.

I think in opposing WIAC stadiums, way worse than Illinois folks with a boat are Illinois folks whose sons play football at Whitewater! But they are OUR favorites, boat or no boat!

Coach O'Grady always knew how to get after Stout. Didn't always have the talent to get it done. Backyard brawl. I'll be there, always cold and windy this time of year at Ramer. Takes away the Devils solid kicking game maybe.

Well done, bp.
