Kickoff 2013 is live!

I feel like this is our best Kickoff yet: We made a nice transition to the PrestoSports platform for Kickoff last year and this year we've taken that knowledge and tweaked it. Plus we got some new writers involved and really made sure our continuing writers elevated their game. And ours.

In addition to the previews and features of national interest, we have a story on Whitewater's attempts to bounce back and Nick Olla's job filling Nate Wara's shoes.

This is the only time we ask you guys for money for anything, as I'm sure you realize. It's more than 300 pages of Division III preseason football knowledge and it's the only place you can get all this stuff: Our previews, our rankings, Keith's analysis, the whole 10 yards. http://www.d3football.com/notables/2013/08/get-kickoff-2013

$11, or $7 if you still have access to a .edu email address. (Meant for active players/students and coaches but hey, we know you guys on this board are loyal to D3football.com and we appreciate it.)

You should ask for more money. It's a great product- thanks.

Good feedback, I appreciate it. I believe this is the third consecutive year at this price so we might be ready for an increase in 2014.

Any regular user of this site that doesn't purchase "Kickoff" is a nut case. I don't expect a glowing report on my team, not this year anyway. That's not the point.

The effort put forth for us by the D3.com team is a true addition to my life, and I'm guessing for anyone reading this.  Supporting the site by buying "Kickoff" is a no brainer.

Purchased!  I couldn't do the pick em's without it.  Great job again, D3football and thanks for all your hardwork and dedication!

One change is that no one will be allowed to park on the hill behind the stadium.  Instead we are being assigned spots in the stadium parking lot which will mean that there are fewer spots available to the general public.  There were probably 20-25 cars parking on the hill.

Speaking of the pickems I assume 413 won't be available to run it this year.  Do we have a volunteer willing to take her place?

I didn't realize that John O'Grady is still touring the WIAC. Now he's a part of the Stout coaching staff (RB) this season.

Much like Lambeau Field, increased security procedures will take place on game days at UW-Whitewater's Perkins Stadium this season.

Expect security and parking changes at the Perk

What's the changes?

UW-Whitewater Police tweeted the security measures yesterday.  For some reason the link no longer works. As far as what the changes are..... As BadgerWarhawk recently posted:  One change is that no one will be allowed to park on the hill behind the stadium.  Instead we are being assigned spots in the stadium parking lot which will mean that there are fewer spots available to the general public.  There were probably 20-25 cars parking on the hill.

Last night's tweet indicated carts will be utilized to assist the elderly, handicapped up the hill.

Much like Lambeau, fans can also expect searches as they enter the stadium gates.

Do Badger fans go through such security measures as they enter Camp Randle?

Way to go Emma!!! 

When will I learn to keep my big mouth shut.

Hey, Warhawk fans!  Illinois State alum here, St. John's season ticket holder (why I'm on this board), good friends with some UWW folks (I live in Madison).

I joked on the ISU board last year that Shelby Harris would end up at UWW this year, when he was tossed off ISU's team (no disrespect to UWW, ISU takes in a lot of wayward souls too, like Harris, for example after UW sent him packing).  Wondering if he did turn up at UWW this year?  Haven't seen anything.

And hoping that another former Redbird, Ryan Givens, has a great year.  He contributed at ISU when he was there.

I don't think so...never heard of Shelby Harris

[badgerwarhawk]

I  haven't heard anything of a Shelby Harris or an ISU transfer either. 

Ryan Givens should be a big part of the offense this year.

There definitely no Shelby Harris on the original preseason roster.

Interesting...wonder why he left the UWO staff?

I watched Ryan Givens play when he was at Riverside HS....kid sure was fun to watch.

Thanks guys, just curious.  Here's a link to Harris' ISU bio.  Milwaukee Homestead kid:

Do Badger fans go through such security measures as they enter Camp Randle?

Yes and more. It's gotten tighter every year.

http://www.uwbadgers.com/travel/security-information.html

I went to Packer preseason game, and the new NFL security measures are insane. Each person can have one bag, it must meet certain dimensions and it must be made of clear plastic. (Not coincidentally, they sell just such a bag in the gift shop!) At Lambeau every fan gets searched with a metal detecting wand. Camp Randall hasn't started wanding everyone yet, but I wouldn't doubt that's coming.

Yes

Camp Randall/Wisconsin

Although I have lived in IL since I was 12, I was never a fan of U of IL or Northwestern. Over the last 30+ years my Wisconsin wife, her 5 siblings, and my/our 15 nieces/nephews have turned me into a Wis fan. Last year we had a family weekend in Madison including a football game. Security at Camp Randall was very tight. While they did not check the person/body too closely, anything brought in was subject to intense search. Also, students and those under 30 were looked at much more closely than us old guys. Hey, while I can't/wouldn't want to be able to drink as much as the kids, my powers of concealment far outdistance the youngsters. 
Tightest security I've ever seen was at a Bears-Vikings game at the Metrodome. Got in the back of one of the entry/security check lines 45-50 minutes before kickoff. Got to our seats 2-3 minutes before kickoff. Wondered if someone had spray painted "Al-Quida" on the back of my jacket or something. 

Perkins Stadium

A Division 3 football stadium seating 13,500. I'm sorry, but this really stretches the boundary when it comes to  UWW being referred to as "small" college football, the fact that athletic scholarships aren't given, notwithstanding.

Blanchard/Bears

Bears analyst Hub Arkush advised today that he expects that neither of the 2 QBs who will play for the Bears tonight will remain on the roster past this Saturday. If so, hopefully this bodes well for Matt Blanchard to later reappear on the practice squad after the 10th game. He already knows the offense so they wouldn't have to teach it to whatever new guy they might bring in.
