Very interesting discussion 413 and 17! I think all those thoughts should be/will be part of the evaluation process LL will be going through as he evaluates this year.  If there is any shade of complacency (just a word to describe what you guys are talking about, not meaning anyone is truly complacent), I'm confident it will be dealt with.  Although I do believe the evaluation will occur, I'm doubting much will be found.  My thoughts on why UW-W is where they are right now.

1. UW-O (it just seems like they have to be put here to give credit where credit is due).
2. Performance. I think certain areas of the team have not performed up to the level of previous years.
3. Injuries.  The reality is that UW-W is playing some kids that would normally simply be getting stronger and experienced in the program, rather than playing if not for a host of injuries. Positions affected: projected/probable starter at right tackle (out for the year in training camp), starting right guard (out for the year as of a few weeks ago), running back (#2 behind Des Ward, but expected to be a change of pace/big play RB), Pre-season All-American Wide Receiver, another receiver (likely starter) we just got back 2 weeks ago after missing the entire season up to that point, preseason All -American CB, various other CB's missing games.  I'm sure I am missing some.

I do think this is a good discussion point and an interesting point brought up by 413.  I also think it's reasonable to expect UW-W to lose a couple games every now and then just cuz, not because something undesirable has crept into the program.

You know this is an interesting discussion, but I do not buy all of the coach speak.   What I want is athletic, skilled hard working blue collar winners!!!   If that is someone that "wants to win championships" or someone "who wants to knock people off".....I don't care.   Let me ask a question.   If you are recruited by the current National Champion.....then what do you want?   You can't go knock someone off....because you are at the top!   

This is nothing but hyperbole.   Bleed makes a great observation about the injuries the team had, but in my opinion we have not always had the people on the field who would do anything to win.....you know, the Lane Olson's of the world.    I probably better stop....otherwise, I might start sounding like Emma17 

Dad, you are the man.  I appreciate your willingness to say how you feel.

It might be time to stop when you start sounding like Emma. The next step might be wandering around, muttering things like:
Slants....crossing patterns...UW-O good...too conservative....UW-O good....Buffalo State....meaningful snaps for Behrendt....UW-O good...I support LL...Elmhurst...UW-O good...  A loss can be good....winning streaks can be counterproductive....UW-O good...413 bloody mary's good...

that post is exactly what I needed, it cracked the game face that I have been scowling with since Tuesday into a broad smile!!   Houdini for what it is worth, my game face and disappointment that UWW will probably not make the playoffs has been coming through in my posts....I missed the sarcasm and for what it is worth, I was being fairly sarcastic as well.   Anyway Bleedpurple, you made my day.    And, I think I agree with Emma on one of the above.......413 bloody mary's good!

As far as good old playful bantering goes, I think this board is the tamest. You should read St. Johns/St. Thomas fans go at it on the MIAC board. Some other good ones are: Linfield/Willamette fans in the NWC, NCC/Wheaton fans in the CCIW and MHB/HSU fans in the ASC.

Non-UWW WIAC fans shouldn't feel threatened when posting here. It's all in good fun. However, UWW fans may be a bit on edge this year (for obvious reasons)...including myself.

NCC/Wheaton fans have been tame in recent years, but if both teams win tomorrow, next week could be fun!:)

WIAC Weekend Survival Guide

[WarhawkDad]

OK WIAC fans, I need a great bar/tavern/food joint....a place that serves liquor and food in Stevens Point that is open around 10 a.m.   Great bloody mary's would be nice.  Any thoughts?

'Dad... The place to go is the Hilltop located just a couple of blocks west when you take the I-39 exit to HWY 10.  Turn left onto HWY 10. The Hilltop will be just a couple of blocks on your left. The place has been a regular for Warhawk fans when in Point.  GO HAWKS!

Don't forget Wabash/DePauw. Those guys even go off the main board and start a separate thread just for trash-talk every year before their rivalry game.

I'll second that location!!!  The wife and I try to stop there at least once or twice a year!!!!
