Repete,

I wasn't doubting that the Johnnies could run the ball, I was stating that I thought WW could run the ball against SJU, which inturn would open up the play action over the top to their speed recievers.  Read it again and maybe you'll get that.  By the way SJU had 14  more yards rushing on EC then WW, wow huge amount.

28-7   or   35-28   alright I've heard enough from you

   I am stipulating to the fact that the WIAC hasn't had a great play-off record in recent years.  I agreed with that several pages ago.  Catch up!  Man, talk about beating a dead horse!  As for Point, I have never seen a 2-6 team get soooo much press.  It is WW that deserves your attention.  The 2005 team hasn't had their shot at the play-offs yet.

St Olaf? Come on whats harder to believe, that EC is better then Linfield or that St. Olaf is a top ten team?  St. Olaf's a joke, Northwestern played the Johnnies closer.

TRU, I agree EC's chances are better than Wartburg's, but not Whitworth. Whitworth only has one D3 in region loss compared to two for EC. I won't tell you WIAC guys who Whitworth lost to but I'll give you a hint in that it is your all-time favorite team. Although EC and Whitworth technically compete for different bids (Pool C vs. B), Whitworth is still competition as far as space in the West Region. If Whitworth wins out, they are almost assured in which can't be said for EC right now.

Oh, and if you think that old guy and his team from SJU aren't better come playoff time I can tell you they usually are. He'll show you things in the postseason you never knew existed. We had that guy on the ropes in the postseason late in the game in '03 until he pulled out his magic wand and put Blake Elliott at running back. We were pretty much screwed after that move.

footfan:  
so ww is not part of the 3 wins or 7 defeats and .300?  

I'm not sure you understand what I have said at all.. I am not sure I do now?  

But the best thing for the west is to ship ww out as a #1 seed .. what is wrong with that?  the other  two regions
(n & e)

only have Mt. U .. And look what happened to rowan last year.. 52-0?    The south  will be strong again..

So would you rather lose in the west or win the N or E ? And then lose to the west?

You must be thinking of someone else.  You and I never had a conversation about moving ww in the play-offs so we have never had the opportunity to agree or disagree on that subject.   In fact, I have never posted anything regarding that subject.

We all know that Linfield has a had a better post season record than the WIAC, but those are past numbers, if you believe this or not, those numbers are irrelevant each year because each year a team is different, so my point is this WW team is for real and extremely balanced.

footfan;; me bad ,  sorry you wiac boys all look alike..

Blu:  The cats have Just a few back from last years championship team  too. ...  (To many to name them all right now)   That balance we could use just  a little then watch  out?

45,
Congrats to EC for three big special-teams plays. They earned them. But that's very old news. It's also the only thing that kept your boys from getting kicked worse at home than they did on the road at WW. Admit it: EC's whole game was three blocked kicks and one long pass. The real telling stat: Other than that pass, there was only one EC possession of more than 40 yards. SJU kicked BluGold butt up and down for drives of 75, 77, 63 and 63.

And it's a lot easier to fix a first-year punter's special-team mistakes than it is to turn around being dominated like EC was the rest of the game.

Who here can tell me.......when was UWW's last playoff appearance? This site only goes back to 1999. UWW is about a .500 team in that time frame excluding this year. Blugold 45 you really think a .500 coach is going to beat the old man come playoff time? I love it! Do you know what his playoff win percentage is against the WIAC? I wish I had a nickel for every one hit wonder he's sent home.

[Retired Old Rat]

The SJU team that dominated EC (429 yards to 242 yards) bears little comparison to the SJU team that dominated a previously unbeaten St. Olaf.

Take out the 3 blocked punts, which are not going to happen again, and it's a 35-7 game, at a minimum.

I hope SJU plays both EC and WW.  Then I'm sure we'll be hearing from 45 about how tough the WIAC is, how your teams were all beat up for the playoffs, yada yada yada.

WW coach Brez is 131-70-4 in 20 seasons for .649

[Kilted Rat]

WW coach Brez is 131-70-4 in 20 seasons for .649

Not bad, but its no 430-117-11 (.770). in 57 seasons.

Oldpa, I always knew you were really Dick Cheney.   

[Eagle Cynic]

I have to say that looking at Linfields team on paper and hearing about their games, they haven't changed much.  Now certainly they have a year more experience at being good but any experienced good team can be beaten by a one time good team. 
Hopefully WW is good enough this one time to take it to them. 

They are the exact opposites in style and it'll be good to see which style is more effective...WIAC ball or Kitty Cat ball.
