FB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

Not that most on this board care, but I thought I would give a quick look at the returning starters for UWO next season (granted they don't get unseated by an underclassman). I would like to think the team will be in good position to make a run to the top of the WIAC next season...granted the defense improves in 2011.

Wow I don't think anyone saw that coming. However after Bullis turned the job down they obviously went to their number 2 choice. I was thinking vince kehres or maybe the guy from Stevens Point.

VK would have turned it down too.

Sounds improbable perhaps, UWO fans, but Nate Wara has long dreamed of being a Badger. Fulfilling his dream would cause Titan fans some sleepless nights, no doubt.

The Titans were tough this year. They certainly held their own, but like UWEC, they lost games they shouldn't have, to inferior teams.

Do they get to go to Alliance to start their season next year?

Oshkosh will be tough. They won't be taking me by surprise. I think highly of what they're doing up there. They seem to have most of the pieces to the puzzle but they need a little help assembling it.

I like UW-O's approach in building the program.  Certainly scheduling Mount Union and Central indicate a determination to improve.  The fact that they landed a quality QB in Wara is a good sign as well.  He is a championship quality QB.  But I think they need to lose the whole "trick play" thing.  They were fun to watch, but I think they should focus on playing straight up and improving.

I totally agree. I think they have one of the best Strength and Conditioning coaches in the country also. Sooner or later UWO will be mentioned in the same breath as UWW. I just hope we keep getting the best of them.

HS Coach--what's your source for saying VK would have turned the UWRF job down?

[emma17]

I'm an Oshkosh believer as well.  I look forward to their rematch with Mt the first game of 2011.  The "awe" factor will hopefully be overcome and maybe, just maybe, we'll see the early shock of the season

Won't name names, but it's very good.

Good post Oshfb,, looking forward to UW-O coming to Alliance!

Yes, they will be traveling to Alliance next year. I'm not 100% sure on the whether UWO will host Central though...I would hope it was a 2 yr series. No doubt having the previous 3 Wara brothers at UWO helped pursuade Nate Wara to choose UWO as well.

As for the strength and conditioning coach...If I recall correctly he came to UWO from UWW just a couple years back correct? I know he was not our S&C coach in 2006 during my last season. As a former UWW coach I can see why you might think is is one of he best   

[retagent]

I'm more than a little disappointed in the UWW posters here. You should be dismissive about OWO's, and anyone else's claims to be able to challengs the MIGHTY WARHAWKS. Damn, you've earned the right.

Something like:

   The Titans couldn't beat the Warhawks, even if they were the Tennessee Titans.

C'MON!!

[BoBo]

Perhaps retagent, after 2 consecutive championships and 3 in 4 years, it's a kinder, more gentle Warhawk Nation. I can see where this must sound like a bad dream to you. 

[Devil Badger Gopher]

Didn't Oshkosh finish in the lower half of the WIAC and with a losing record?  I do not see this team making it over the hump anytime soon much less compete with UWW.  UWW had some history behind them before their recent Championship run, but UW0 does not really have that past history even in the conference.
