WOW!!! Great game!!   I knew the first half was too good to be true, we couldn't do no wrong. Then The Shorts-Rocco show decided to show up in the second half. Defense...way to finish in the fourth qaurter....HUGE batted-down passes by our DB's sealed the win!!!

Watching them win more than made up for me getting stuck in Atlanta's airport trying to get to Salem...a Whitewater townie bar was the next best thing  

Two in three years.....not too shabby!!! Best UWW team ever...(not a knee-jerk reaction)  8)

Congrats to Liepold and company!!

Congrats to the Warhawks on the '09 DIII Championship.

Donovan's first half was as good as it gets in DIII Football.   Great game.  Great win!

02 Warhawk,

First thoughts:

A great job by the Salem Civic group on the field, it was great!

These announcers did a pretty good job vs. past years!

Congrats to the Whitewater Warhawks, great year, great game.

Congrats to the Raiders, great comeback a few opportunities missed, still
a great year. Let's get back in 2010!

All I know is that it seemed like the players were all playing at a "high level" throughout the game... seemed like that was the only analysis the color guy could offer...

in all seriousness... great game... D3 proves again why their should be a playoff system... the best two teams met in the title game... and the top 3 made it to the semi's....

Congratulations Warhawks!

Great First Half!  Donovan was on FIRE!!

I was watching your K (can't spell his name off hand so won't try) and it looked like he wasn't booting them very well.  He was attempting 45 yarders (from the 35) and they were low and barely making it.  Thought he would have trouble from that distance in the game with a live rush.  I'm sure it was like kicking a frozen rock tonight though.

Congrats again, and hope we can meet here in Salem in about a year!

Also, not going to go back and find the Linfield fan, but the Championship game was not played last week, it was played tonight in Salem.

For those who missed the game or couldn't get it (like me) here is the ESPN highlights and LL interview after the game.

Great First Half!  Donovan was on FIRE!!

Congratulations UWW.  Fantastic game tonight.  I don't know the history of UWW but Donovan has to be considered at or near to top of the list of Warhawk QBs.  The kid was super impressive again.

You guys have once again set the bar and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of us trying to chase you guys down.  Congrats!

Fantastic Game by UWW.....I wasn't able to watch the game because I don't get the extra channels.....can I say rip off!  The game should be played at the CatDome .....it was 50 degrees with no wind rain or snow.....

bleedpurple - good call on the turnover issue you spoke about in your blog!!  

Thanks BoBo.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2009 NATIONAL CHAMPION UW-WHITEWATER WARHAWKS!

Wow that has a GREAT ring to it!

[Barber Greene]

What a great game by two great teams. Damn, Mt. Union sure is a hard team to beat! I was wondering what everyone thought about the Warhawks having their names on their uniforms for the first time (since when?)?.  I wonder what the reasoning behind that was? I have no problem with it. To me, it said, "Come to Whitewater. Play on national TV. Have your name on your jersey. People will see you." Should be great for recruiting. Now, I am emotionally exhausted from the game and weather. Looking for a good night's sleep!

Dude--it was sunny and warm in L.A. I think we hit 80 again this afternoon---I'm sure we could have found a stadium to host the game down here  


Anyway--Congrats to UWW on a great season--It was great to see the playoffs (at least the last two round) be competitive--WW earned for sure--Had to comeback against my Cats last week and then had to fend off the Raiders today---great season.  Hope to see you guys next year (though I'd just assume see it be the Stagg )

Congrats to the Warhawks. Great season, Great decade. I admit I was skeptical early in the season, but thoe Quarterfinal and Semifinal game convinced me. I wasn't surprised by the outcome, but the first half was phenomenal.

As they say in hockey, the name on the back is not as important as the logo on the front.
