Any Whitewater fans going up for the game and tailgating Saturday?

I'll be up there around 11.  I plan to park in one of the lots across the street (josslyn) from the Stadium.

Ok cool...You sticking around the parking for a while? If so, I'll come and look for you and hang out for a bit before heading into the game.

Sounds great. Looking forward to it. I'll have some Purple Kool Aid with your name on it. 

My travel partner and I will be there as well- heading up tonight. Looking forward to seeing both of you tomorrow.

Good, that'll increase my odds of finding someone. I'll look out for both of you.

There is no reason to think that UWW players or coaches are taking UWO lightly. 

I can state for a fact that they aren't.  Both the team and the staff have a great deal of respect for Coach Ceroni and the Titans and are fully aware of how tough winning this game is going to be.

02, the fan bus is full and there was talk of scheduling a second one.

Really? They were telling me they thought the Titans suck!  (I don't know why I feel the need to do this again, but for those of you who don't know my sense of humor, this is meant to make people laugh and obviously not true at all. I think I am going to give myself a (-k) for explaining myself. Can one give himself a (-) k?).

Far be it from me to speak for Retagent, but I agree with ETP. I'm pretty sure he wasn't insinuating UW-W would take this game lightly.  You don't take a game lightly against the conference champion. You don't take a game lightly against a team that beat you last year. UW-O has earned the circle on UW'W's calendar.  If one thing can be drawn from results already in this year, UW-W hasn't taken ANYONE lightly.  I'd imagine the coaching challenge this week is more about controlling and channeling all the emotion positively. Like Lance said, "We haven't had the chance to play the conference champion in a long time." 

UW-W remembers the Titans
After Saturday, the Titans will remember UW-W.

Thanks to both you and etp as I now see the error of my way. Like I said, I'm a bit UWW centric- a bit too much I guess.
The theory makes sense too in that one can understand why UWW might be playing w a bit of a chip on its shoulder compared to UWO.

Bleed- you needn't worry about disclaiming your sense of humor so much. This isn't like the morning drive where the audience turns over frequently. Plus, it's always kind of fun when someone doesn't get or appreciate your humor- it can lead to new and interesting posts and threads.

I would love to join the travelers up to Oshkosh tomorrow to cheer for the Warhawks, but my wife took a tumble coming out of the Perk last Friday and broke a bone in her shoulder.  I'm hoping she recovers by next week for homecoming.

Cheer hard, fellas.  And at least the game is on Time Warner tomorrow.

Ok...keep a look out for a guy with a purple winter hat roaming the parking lot (that'll be me).

So the Linfield hat you ordered hasn't arrived yet? 

How do you know the purple hat I'll have on isn't a Linfield one?

(I feel dirty just saying that) -K to me.

Oh, wow...I hope she's ok

oh the comparing of records against common opponents comes up once again. Most of you are former players and should remember different teams match up against others based on the offensive and defensive schemes ran. Comparing records against common opponents is usually useless...but let's compare the same 2012 common oppoents scores anyway 

Similar to this season, UWW fared better against Stout that Oshkosh did.
Similar to this season, both beat UWLC handidly.

2012
UWO vs UWLC 41-7, UWW beat them 24-0
UWO vs UWS 27-18, UWW beat them 41-7
UWO beat UWW 28-13

2013
UWO vs UWLC 30-6, UWW beat them 47-3
UWO vs UWS 28-26, UWW beat them 55-13

Similar to last season, UWO beats UWW 28-24

Not bad, not bad...I suppose that would be true if all things were equal between 2012 and 2013, but we know they're not. Whitewater's offense couldn't be more different than last season. Whitewater's passing offense was dead last a season ago in the WIAC....now they're third.

Their total offense went from 126th in the country to 40th. Obviously that's only through 6 games, but the improvement is noticeable.

I like it, I like it!  The man weaves his way between all the purple and backs his team!  Way to go! +k. Where ya been all week??

Since you follow UW-O, can I ask you a question?

Does your defense suck?

Well done oshfb.
My memory only goes back to halftime of the UWW-UWO game 2012- apparently I've blocked out the pain of the first half.  From that point on, UWW beat UWO 13-7.
I'm figuring the team that showed up in the second half, which included Matt Behrendt at the helm, is the team to really compare.

Tell me about the UWO D line- are they as dominant as it seems?

my wife took a tumble coming out of the Perk last Friday and broke a bone in her shoulder

Ouch!  Speedy recovery.

I'm lucky I didn't break my skull in 2009.  I went down twice.

Yea, but hers wasn't alcohol induced

Well done. But is Linfield vs. L&C really the game of week in the NWC?

That game should be over by half. Right bleed?!

  We pick all the NWC games regardless but the West Region and National are games picked out by the NWC pick 'em page moderator. 

Thanks for the kind words bleed.  I love doing it.
