Nice to see the increased activity on the ol WIAC board.  Nothing like a battle between top 10 teams to turn it on.  I'm with you 02- can't wait to wake up tomorrow morning (God willing). 

Bleed- I've performed a telekinetic diagnosis and determined you are suffering from a serious case of "Ican'taccceptthefactthattheTitansareforrealandtheirexcellencethreatensmyUWWcomfortzone-itis"   

I enjoy reading the different viewpoints as to what has to happen for each team to be successful.  The fact that we're having these conversations should remind us how fortunate we are to support teams in such a competitive league.  And I believe that the competiveness of the league enhances the tailgate experience, making for an incredible day tomorrow.

Emma.....another excuse to have a couple more libations tomorrow?   As if we needed any!

Now since UW-Oshkosh played UW-Whitewater close last year, should this game be titled "Wrath of the Titans" or "Revenge of the Titans"?

It really should be called "The Empire Strikes Back". The empire being UWW! 

As a WIAC fan I want a close fought game to help get UWO into the playoffs. As a UWW fan I hope they can crush them something like 45-7. The first is obviously the one that is likely to happen.

If UWO loses big, or a close one, they'll get in (of course as long as they win the rest of their games). So, just to be safe, lets hope for a 45-7 score

If we're hoping for a big game why not go for a Lakeland 2009 score of 70-7!  Yes, I know, highly unlikely, but we can all dream! 

Plus you can tell looking at this board and everything else that UWO is the favorite to win and no matter what they say they'll feel that way. Big game + overconfidence could help UWW too. They've been there before and UWO hasn't.

This fits in perfectly with my comparison of UWW to "The Hawks" from The Mighty Ducks. A pereniel powerhouse with the same colors, and same attitude "It's not worth winning if you can't win big!"

Emma.....another excuse to have a couple more libations tomorrow?   As if we needed any!   

Libation preparation in 5 hours, followed by a brief respite, and then get the game face on.     

The following is an excerpt from a Royal Purple article titled "Loud Crowd Needed for Conference Clash On Saturday"

"The key to a great home-field advantage is having great fans. To those watching the game on Saturday, do not stop cheering at any point during the game.
Whether the Warhawks are winning, tied or losing, they need and will use the crowd. Cheer loudly when the Titans are on offense, be quieter when the 'Hawks are trying to score and go crazy after every positive play.
UW-Whitewater students have been spoiled by the perennial greatness of the Warhawk football program.  Just because the team has been winning forever does not make it any less impressive. The program has brought so much positive publicity and recognition to the university.
Now, finally, the team might need our support to get through a tough game. The least we can do is go to Perkins Stadium on Saturday, be loud and let the Titans know whose house they're in."

I can probably say this for everyone but we'll take a 1 point win just fine. We'd just all rather have the game in hand the whole time instead of having a chance to lose. Well maybe all of us besides emma

Sweeney was at 9-46 in EC's first two drives (score was 6-0, still a game).  Didn't get a touch on the 3rd & 5th drives, 1-5 on 4th.  Ended up 11-62 at the half.  Seems to me like he was effective and productive, but EC totally went away from him - mostly by choice, then because of the score.

I've been questioning that all season. They seem to abandon the run a lot, which has cost them.

Today can't go by fast enough.

Exactly.  Note the second drive against LaX.  Run the ball the first drive for 7 pts.  Second drive, run it to the 12 yd line.  Then two incomplete passes.  Then missed field goal.  No points.  Could have come back and bit them in the butt if LaX wouldn't have had the turnovers.

For those that ever took a look at my blog, you'll know what play chaps my ass the most.

Eau Claire has the lead and the ball late in the 4th. St. Thomas is out of time outs. On the first play of the drive they PASS!!!! Neu throws a pick that leads to the game winning TD for UST.

02 I know this play bugs the snot out of you- me too. 
Have you ever seen an explanation as to why a pass play was called in that situation?

No, I guess I can and go back to see if the post game articles mentioned it.

Well done. 
Afterall, do you want to be the Purple Raiders?

umm, that looks a lot like homework. 
I'm sure I won't agree with what he said anyway.

Nice to see the increased activity on the ol WIAC board.  Nothing like a battle between top 10 teams to turn it on.  I'm with you 02- can't wait to wake up tomorrow morning (God willing). 

Bleed- I've performed a telekinetic diagnosis and determined you are suffering from a serious case of "Ican'taccceptthefactthattheTitansareforrealandtheirexcellencethreatensmyUWWcomfortzone-itis"   

I enjoy reading the different viewpoints as to what has to happen for each team to be successful.  The fact that we're having these conversations should remind us how fortunate we are to support teams in such a competitive league.  And I believe that the competiveness of the league enhances the tailgate experience, making for an incredible day tomorrow.

According to dictionary.com:

"The attribution of one's own attitudes, feelings, or desires to someone or something as a naive or unconscious defense against anxiety or guilt..."   

I'm not the one obsessed by the Titans "excellence".  I'm not the one who has been going on for two years about how good they are. I was hoping not to have to bring this back, but last year you were so over-the-top it necessitated a blog made on your behalf.  Remember this?

A 20-10 win isn't what I WANT to happen. It's what I THINK is going to happen. I'm all on board with the 45-7 thing as far as what I want to happen.

That's too bad...that blog had promise.
