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.

Didn't Ronald Reagan play for Eureka???

If he shows up, forget the stats from last year's game against St. Thomas.

I just had to look that up and, yes, he was.  With the Gipper on their side you never know what they can do against UWW.  Strange happenings.

For the record I'm all for the banter and think the exchange between EurekaMan and Jamto was hilarious. I'm only saying he's not the type of poster saying UWW hasn't seen a team like Eureka.

My group's fans behaving badly experiences occurred at NCC and Wheaton. Although I thought the snowballs at NCC were funny.

My story is getting hit in the head with potatoes at, you guessed it, the Spud Bowl. UW-SP students were throwing potatoes right at us before we got on to the field. Really?? Screw you Pointers! Screw you all!!!!!!!! Not cool man. I shall always root against Point. A completely classless school.

I had to share...

Hmmm Ronald Reagan vs...... Reince Priebus. Advantage Eureka.

Yeah, I found them kind of annoying as well. Not really classless, just annoying. We were beating them pretty badly this year, and after they had a late first down, some students turned to us (a large group of JCU fans), clapped very excessively, and kept yelling "too easy!". Next play was an interception, so you can imagine how we let them have it

Reagan, Class of '32.  Reagan's freshman year EC scored two huge victories over Wheaton (13-7) and Western Illinois (6-0).  We clearly have a track record of knocking off both CCIW and FCS schools.  They didn't even have Reasnover!

#BedtimeForWhitewater !!!  Ha!

Ok, I'm officially a Eureka fan this game.  I have no idea what swing the axe means but I can rally behind the bedtime call.  I'm calling overs on rushing and TD's as UWW will be looking well past this game.

They bring a literal axe to the game. I was a little frightened last year that they were going to hack Caruso to bits if we ran the score up on them.

You do have to admire the fight! I can imagine where he's coming from. Being the only fan on the boards representing a small fan base. I'd imagine there is a level of pride now that his Red Devils get to go toe to toe with one of the big boys, and he needs to support them to the bitter end.
Keep on doing your thing ecreddevils! +K for you!
On an unrelated note, has anyone else here ever been to Eureka? It's actually quite a nice little town! My sales meetings take me to some really random places lol!

I do feel like they're missing a golden opportunity to bring a pitch fork to the game! That seems a little more devilish than an axe!

I'm guessing you misspelled Meth here.

I have the good fortune of having a great client in Eureka, a terrific all-American town.
Speaking of which, Ben Zobrist of the Cubs and Andy Studebaker (Wheaton and NFL)
attended high school there.
EurekaMan may be on to something here.
I'll take the over in yards.

I was born and raised in Peoria (c. 20 miles west of Eureka) and went to school in Bloomington (c. 30 miles SE of Eureka).  Never spent any time there, but been through it dozens of times.  Some day I need to get off U.S. 24 and actually explore the town!  It does seem nice.  (I hated Reagan back in the day, so that association always turned me off; and Bonzo was a better actor than Ronnie, so there's that! )

UWW doesn't overlook anyone. It doesn't matter the size of the school or the record of the opponent. One of the tenets of the program is to respect the game.  One aspect of respecting the game is to respect every single opponent.  The sole focus of this week is to go 1-0. UW-W will be locked in and loaded. Whatever success Eureka has, they get full credit for. They will have earned it.

[BoBo]

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 

bw must be on vacation, so I will handle this one...

I won't mention them by name since they are very sensitive about that subject. One clue - they're a recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the "Kicked to the Curb" Hall of Fame. Any guesses?
