Thanks for the invite 413. I will do what I can to get there.

Again, sorry about the inference. It was unintended, but I can see where you saw it. We all have our sore spots and buttons that get pushed, so I understand the reaction.

No problem.  We're cool.     Hope you can make it.

Isn't our out of state tuition actually less than Illinois in-state tuition?  I've always heard that was the case and one factor that made our recruiting Illinois athletes a little easier. 

There was discussion not too long ago about establishing reciprosity with Illinois but I don't think it went anywhere.  I know that at a school like Whitewater with a relatively high number of Illinois students the financial hit would be significant.

I was going to make that point actually.  My daughter's in-state tuition/room and board to ISU in 2008 was roughly the same price as we paid for #33's out-of-state/room and board to UWW.  And tuition at all IL state schools has done nothing but go up since then with the increased lack of state funding.  That being said, there were a few CCIW schools that he could have played at for a few grand less than UWW.     I was told that a very long time ago there was once reciprocity between our two states but Illinois put the kibosh on it because our kids keep heading to Wiscy but we didn't get too many coming our way.

FWIW, back in my day, just after the birth of dirt, when I was selecting a graduate school to attend, I shockingly discovered that it was more expensive attending UW-La Crosse as an in-state resident than going to Texas A&M as an non-resident (don't remember the exact #'s but it was  >$90/credit hour vs <$20/credit hour). I heard it was because of oil revenues of university-owned oil wells. UW-L didn't have any  ; A&M did!! It may've all been a myth, I don't know. I ended up going to La Crosse for my M.S., but later went to A&M for my PhD. It was cheaper at A&M. Don't know what it's like today, but I'm sure it's changed considerably.

If it is any comfort, I despise the Longhorns MORE than the Aggies.

With the probable exception of Ralph Turner, there hasn't been a good Texan since Sam Houston.   (Oh, and a few football players who saw the light and went to U of Michigan! )

The Eagle mascot didn't come around until 1989 so DR. BOBO was either an Indian, Red Raider, Hurricane, Racqueteer, Ped or Maroon.  Wow thats a lot of mascot changes for UWL.

YIKES!  All those mascots and they end up as the grossly overdone Eagles?

Eastern Michigan also went to Eagles about a decade ago.  Personally, I'm still a Huron.

Impressive with your vast knowledge of all things La Crosse, kubiak...but, there was one more...remember the Roonies. That was for women athletic teams. But, yes, I pre-date the Eagles by a lot!!

I've been wondering how long it's been since the Warhawks had a turnover - and now I know. It's been a long time. Super story telling, bp!!

Another job well done Bleed, thanks for the article.  Reading about that game makes me realize how mentally strong this team is.  I was at that game and the strange thing is, I never really felt that UWW was in trouble- even though the score at the half certainly suggests the game was in doubt.  Over the years this program has consistently overcome the tough challenges and as a team, they just seem to get done what needs to get done for the victory.

Dang, talk about A&M and they fired their coach!!
