Saturday's Family Day football game at Perkins will also include a fundraiser for me (Tom Pattison).  I apologize for promoting the event but a lot of people on campus have put a tremendous effort into organizing the Team Tom Cancer Fundraising event.  Former UWW head coach Bob Berezowitz, UWW athletic director, and KOOL 106.5 are the ones that have organized this fundraiser and UW-Whitewater basketball, baseball and gymnasts will be wearing yellow Team Tom Cancer Fund T-shirts on Saturday assisting in the fundraiser.

Expected to be raffled off are the following helmets: Green Bay Packers, autographed by Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers; the Wisconsin Badgers, signed by Barry Alvarez and Bret Bielema; the Denver Broncos, autographed by John Elway and Peyton Manning; the Dallas Cowboys, signed by Tony Romo and Mark Whitten; and a Warhawks helmet autographed by the programs three legendary coaches, Berezowitz, Lance Leipold and Forrest Perkins.

Nothing for us FIB's?  I think a big hit for Packer Backers might be a signed Jamarcus Webb helmet- Think of how much he's done for your Clay Matthews.

  I laughed out loud so hard that my sides hurt!   Well done!

Since you brought it up....

I heard organizers actually had Jay Cutler and Brandon Marshall lined up but Marshall dropped the pen on Cutler's foot and Jay pulled himself out of the signing. 

VOICE, We are with you!  So glad they are doing this on Saturday! I hope everyone there pitches in. GO HAWKS, GO FANS, AND GO PARENTS!!

Voice, that's pretty cool. Obviously you have made a lot of friends. +k and best wishes from Blue Devil country.

Hmph. Well I heard Golden Tate and Russell Wilson offered to donate the game ball but...(I know there is a good punch line somewhere).

But they were busy learning braille so they could write a thank you note to Lance Easley.

Voice, I hope to make to WW for your event.  I'll never forget you covering a Fort Atkinson School Board meeting for WFAW and monitoring a basketball game on your headphones the game must have been more interesting than the school board meeting because all of a sudden a BOOO---YA and your fist slamed the table then the sheepish grin on your face when you realized what you just did.

I think it's certainly possible Platteville would have won the game, but it's no certainty.  Kelly would have been under the same pressure that got to Corrigan.  With or without Kelly, things weren't going to come as easy for UW-P as they were the first two drives.

Doesn't experience count for anything.  Kelly was second string, but has started a fair amount of games.  You don't think he could make quicker decisions, have better feel for the pressure, etc. than someone with limited experience?  I wasn't watching the video, so I don't know if Whitewater was sending extra guys to get the pressure, but if I'm the defensive coordinator and see the third string quarterback, I'm coming with everything I have until he proves he can handle it.  Again, I don't think seeing Kelly for one more series and 6 plays (the sixth being a third and one) after the two touchdowns is enough data to conclude that Whitewater had the Kelly led Platteville offense solved.

And I still wrote a good story for the WFAW morning news didn't I.  I was simply multi-tasking and trying to stay awake at one of those 3 1/2 hour school board meetings. Now THOSE were the days!

I think it was possible UW-P would have won, but not a certainty.  I don't think UW-W necessarily had the Pioneer offense solved, but they definitely were beginning to lay big hits on Kelly before the one that knocked him out.  Just three plays prior to his injury he lay crumpled in the end zone for for a couple seconds after being smoked as he threw.  I think the defensive pressure package was there to stay at that point whether Kelly had stayed in the game or not.  Experience definitely counts and Platteville may have won if Kelly stayed in. But if you are going to run the spread offense and disregard the running game, you are exposing your quarterback to much greater risk to injury.  When UW-W cranked up the pressure, Kelly didn't survive it. This is the third major QB injury UW-P has had in less than a year and a half.  Injuries are unfortunate, but they are not always random.

Sorry to miss your event this weekend Tommie P.......Looking at knee replacement surgery this upcoming week.....Can't believe have not been at the Perk this season.....Watching each week on the computer.....hope to be ready to travel for the playoffs.....Pound the Rock......

Well, Saturday should be a good day for the Warhawks to get back in sync on offense. River Falls gives up a ton of yards, and points.

But we'll see.

I thought the same going into last week for UWO...yet after dropping 70pts on Alma they only put up 19 against a relatively weak UWRF's team.

So what to make of this?  UWO is not as good as everyone thought?  UWRF is improving, at least defensively?  I guess after UWO/UWEC square off that will give us a better indication.  And to see what kind of fight UWRF puts up against UWW.  I don't think anything's a given in this conference.

Nothing is ever a given in the WIAC.  And if anyone thinks that's not true, they have not tried the Pick-Ems.   

I was surprised by UW-RF's success running the ball.  Their offensive line did a pretty nice job in the basic running plays. Their running game would have been sufficient had they had a dynamic passing game to go with it, which they did not. At least not against Oshkosh.  Kusliek was running for his life too often.  They did make a few plays down the middle and in the seams, where Oshkosh was vulnerable, at least on that day. 

Defensively, I was impressed with how UW-RF  swarmed to the ball. They had good pressure on Wara and did a pretty good job shutting down the inside running game of the Titans until late in the game, when they probably wore down a bit.  Their front 7 is aggressive and pretty good.  I think they may have some issues in the secondary.  The Falcons were VERY weak on the edges, where UW-O seemed like they could do whatever they wanted.  When they got outside in the running game or swung a pass in the flat, it was pretty much off to the races.  And of course Wara scrambles hurt the Falcons.

UWO is a strong team but haven't beaten a team with a winning record yet.

Central College is 2-2
UWL is 2-2 (with a loss to UWO and DII Northern Michigan)
Alma is 1-4 (they actually won the week after giving up 70pts to the Titans)
UWRF is 0-4

This is the third major QB injury UW-P has had in less than a year and a half.  Injuries are unfortunate, but they are not always random.

You make an excellent point here Bleed.  The decision by UWP to run the offense they run, knowing full well the defense they are playing against, is a game planning decision no different than a D Coordinator deciding on a defensive scheme.  It's always unfortunate when injuries occur and I would have loved to see Kelly stay in the game because he was very good. 
In thinking back on some games it comes to mind that quite a few talented qb's have been knocked out of the game vs UWW.  We all remember AJ's hit in 2007 against LaCrosse.  I think there was a similar one in a playoff game vs. one of the "W" teams that had a very good qb.  Campbellsville last year lost their qb and I'm sure there are quite a few more examples. 

The point being, some of us may think that UWW gets "lucky" or catches a break when an opponent's top player goes down.  The reality is, UWW's defensive speed and aggressiveness are an element that offenses must plan for and, in effect, think from a risk vs reward perspective.

I remember that game..2009 Wittenberg. That was the game when Whitewater came running out of the tunnel before kickoff, and some Wittenberg players thought it would be wise to meet Whitewater at midfield to trash talk (rather than staying on their sideline). Both sides exchanged pushes, and I'm sure some choice words were said. Not sure if that was the smartest plan of attack for them. UWW handed them their first and only loss of the season 31-13, in the playoffs.
