Ah!

Bluestreak66 and jamtoTommie chatting with each other. Two Catholic schools from two different conferences. And I chat with both.
Life is good! 😃🍺

Seems like fans from other sites are more offended than WIAC fans regarding Eureka's confidence against UWW.

I guess we're used to it considering we've dealt with these posters almost every year since 2005. Fans of opponents, during the first few rounds of the playoffs mostly, often come on here saying things like "Yes, you're good, but UWW hasn't seen (insert offense/defense or a position player here) before!". So far things haven't worked out that well for those teams, with the exception of two OAC teams .

I remember Wabash fans coming here saying things like that a couple of different years. I think Albion had a very good running back one year and UWW shut him down. Franklin, for a couple of years, had awesome QBs only to fall (although Franklin fans were always respectful and didn't come here looking for trouble). St. Thomas fans were guilty of it in 2011 (with their star WR) who UWW shut out that night. I remember drunk NCC fans literally swearing in my face when I attended the UWW/NCC game in 2010. I would probably get banned from these boards for life if I reiterated on here what was said to me and my dad that Saturday. Those are just a few off the top of my head that stick out. I'm sure there's probably been more over the years that emma, Badgerwarhawk, bobo or bleed remember. 

To sum it up....we've heard it all before and aren't bothered much by it

This team belongs.  Offense brings the number one total yard rusher and touchdown leader (40) in D-III, Le'Anthony Reasnover.

No offense, but consider the competition. He's gonna face a new sorta D on Saturday.

I'm putting the over/under for his rushing yds at 65 and TD's at 1.5.

Elite D (with a season piling up elite stats in a great conference) > 1 Elite Back (with a season of piling up elite stats in a really bad conference).

We'll get a really nice look at what Mr. Reasnover's stats would look like if he'd been playing in the WIAC, MIAC, CCIW, etc. all these years. My gut says, he's a really solid player who has a reality check to close out his career.

Reasnover's stats will have very little to do with how good he is. His stats will be determined on whether the 5 guys in front of him can give him any room to operate. My guess is they will not.

That was my point. Elite D > 1 Elite player

How much action can I get on that 1.5 TD thing? 

Yeah, I originally was gonna write .5, but didn't want to come off like a jerk.

Seeing the UST stats from last year, revised Over/Under:

40 yds rushing
.5 TD's

Taking the over all day.  Reasnover is an improved back this year and O-line is savvy.  Granted, we're used to playing other small D-IIIs, will be an interesting challenge to play our second FCS team in two years.

Well done on multiple posts ecred. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm on this board. I hope the Eureka team plays to its full capabilities and the players walk off the field with pride.

As you may have noticed, some on this board get their undies bundled when they feel fans or coaches publicly express too much optimism for their teams.

I think you answered in the best way possible! Kicked some butt and won 6 national championships along the way. That puts you in some pretty elite company. Your antagonists can't sat that.
Nice to see U-WW back after a brief hiatus. Go Warhawks!

[jamtod]

Am I the one that's perceived to be offended in this conversation? Because I can assure you that I am far from it and trying to play along with the banter.

I don't see anyone including the Eureka fan calling for Eureka to win. The debate is on how much the Eureka running game will get shut down.

You're absolutely right.    It is really fun looking back, like Deja vu all over again!  I must say, I really enjoy the banter and am happy to see posters that are typically not engaged on the WIAC board coming over to add some spice to the post season.   The most respectful fans have always been Franklin and Linfield.      Never will forget NCC.

I don't see a Eureka fan calling for a win either. That's not what I said.

Just saying comments like these...

....are a dime a dozen.

And it was numerous non-UWW posters that jumped down his throat.

Got ya. I didn't interpret any of it as jumping down his throat, but I've got no team to cheer for on Saturday, so I'll enjoy whatever banter I can get my hands on.

At least you're honest.

I remember drunk NCC fans literally swearing in my face when I attended the UWW/NCC game in 2010.

I had a similar experience with UWW fans at The Perk in 2005.  I'm willing to bet none of them were contributors here, but there are a-holes everywhere (might even be one or two from SJU!).  I did have a fun time swilling beer from the trunk of Janesville Flash's Cadillac, though, so that made up for it.

Please don't cheer for the Johnnies.  We don't need any of your unlucky Tommie ju-ju rubbing off on us.

I actually thought Whitewater fans were very nice in 16! Much nicer than the Oshkosh ones were the next week

Fair enough....But it was probably a tougher pill to swallow for that NCC fan considering he was eating crow after the game.

To a fault. I'm not sure what result I'm hoping for more. To see Reasnover get absolutely shutdown on Saturday because that's what happens to good backs with meh o-lines in D4 conferences OR to see him light you up for yardage (while still losing) and leave me with a warm fuzzy feeling (while sitting on my couch, of course) that our 2017 defense was better than the 2018 UW-W defense. Participation trophies and what not.

The thing that the 27 for 41 performance impressed on me more than anything was that Eureka was going to stick to their game, even in a blowout loss. I respect that and it kept that game moving.

To sum it up....we've heard it all before and aren't bothered much by it 

Many of us Johnnie fans were guilty of this in 2005. We were 2 years removed from a national championship and UW-WHITEWATER hadn't done anything in many years. We had been beating up big and slow WIAC teams for several years. We were offended that we were traveling to UWW.

I remember Old Pa in particular telling us we were going to lose. I thought he was blow hard, like we'd seen many times over the previous years.

Well, unfortunately for us UWW was big AND fast. Also learned that Justin Beaver was the real deal. We were outplayed in every way. That was a long drive home. On the bright side tailgating was great and I made a new friends in Old Pa (aka Janesville Flash). May he rest in peace.

All that said, I think SJU deserved the 1 seed. I really don't want to go to Whitewater again.

Do you still fire that damn cannon after touchdowns?
