Since we are expecting a foot of snow tonight, I hope they are on the way already.

It's about 12 or 13 hours of driving, IIRC.

How long of a drive is it to Salem from Wisconsin?  Have most of the Warhawk fans already left?

A Warhawk fan bus will depart for Salem, Va. from Lot 1 (Center of the Arts parking lot) at 4 p.m., Friday, Dec. 19.

Is that multiple busses?  Or only 1 bus with 40 or so people?  yikes!!

So, according the the AFCA I should watch the WW linebacker following the MUC running back.

No, you will be watching the UWW linebacker HITTING the MUC running back!

Taken from a post by "k-Pop *" on the MIAC board:

Referee Pat Whalen and his Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference football crew of Tom Tucker, Dan Pelletier, Dave Whittman, Scott Mitchell, Bill Nelson and Bill Merritt will officiate Saturday's NCAA Division III national championship Alonzo Stagg Bowl game between Wisconsin-Whitewater and Mount Union in Salem, Va.

Find it here.  Naturally, scroll to the end of the article.

In the same article as above was this gem:

College football's all-time leader in coaching victories, John Gagliardi, 82, of St. John's, on Penn State's Joe Paterno, 82, who this week signed a three-year contract extension: "The monks give me a lifetime contract because they figure I can't last much longer. But there's a clause in there that if we start losing games, they can give me the last sacraments and declare me dead."

yikes is a mild under statement my friend. 12-13 hours to Salem puts the bussers in about 4-5 am..  Hours of the great hospitality by Stone Station and others. Kick off 11ish. Not sure what the stay over plans are but I do know the team is coming back that night. So lets say the bussers follow suit and do a turnaround that puts them back at UWW about 5-6 am Sunday considering they leave about 4ish. If that is the case then whoever takes the bus should get iron person (pc correct here) awards, tee shirts with " I survived the hostage situation"or something creative but unprinteable here. Hope the deoderizers in the toilet are in full force. Do iPods hold that much music ? 
Catch everyone on the flip side of 2 peat. Take care and travel safe all who venture there. For us Stealths we will be watching in full UWW swag and in HD on the big screen. Wish we could have been there again but man the turn around time wise this year would have been brutal at best. We will miss the Purple Suit dudes from MUC. They were the best last year. Classy even in defeat. GO HAWKS !!!

Like I said, we left early so we hit some Chicago traffic. At the moment, we are in Charleston, WV after about ten hours. It's about four hours then tomorrow. We stayed ahead of most of the cruddy weather (wanted to use a stronger adjective but dulled it down for the boards here). We made it back on the turnaround a couple years ago in 13 hours, so....

On a side note, driving all the way here gave me some time to think (watch out!). This matchup kinda reminds me of the first one. No tangible evidence, but here goes.....If I recall MUC had a young, unproven quarterback who dominated that game (won mvp, no?) and a freshman RB who had just shown up during the playoffs. Against a team that had some upperclassmen leading them (Warhawks), and managed to show up and win. I know it's a stretch, but like I said, tons of time to think.

Notice to all WARHAWK fans who will be in Salem....

UWW athletic dept. is sponsoring a tailgate tent at the parking lot again this year.  The tailgate tent will be located in the northeast corner of the parking lot close to the stadium entrance.  Typically there is coffee, hot chocolate, soda, hot dogs, burgers, and chips.

This is where the D3football.com pregame show setup will be as well, for what it's worth.

Deja vu?  Is that what you are thinking?  I hope someone else is driving why you think...  !!  Continue to have a safe trip.

Setback vs. Pointers helped Warhawks regain wits another one from the Journal/Sentinal.  Also, click on notes for additional bits and quotes.

"And I think we've grown a lot from that. We just kept it rolling and got better from then."

Donovan on Mount Union:

They steam-roll teams. I think we're the best team they're going to see all year. I think that has been the case the last three years. You can say what you want about their statistics; it's phenomenal what they do. But we're definitely a different breed. They don't see a team like us until the championship game. We'll see.
