You WIAC'ers are going to love this article from the SC Times.

Favorable quotes:

"You have to understand: These teams are better than a lot of Division II teams," Meierkort said. "Wisconsin-Whitewater would roll into the NSIC and walk right through it. These are good teams, and there's a big misconception.

...

"The NSIC stopped playing the Wisconsin league because the Wisconsin league was winning," said Meierkort, who left Wisconsin-Stout for South Dakota after the 2003 season. "They can say what they want, but that's why they stopped."

...

"We don't have any Division IIs in Wisconsin, so they're like our Division IIs," said Popanda, who went to high school halfway between Chicago and Milwaukee. "You get a lot of good recruits going there."

I plan to talk to Ed Meierkort  next Sat. and we will talk about the results of that WW/St. Cloud game.  Nobody should have a better perspective than Ed regarding these two leagues and plus Ed is a very fun guest.  Western Wisconsin Sports Sat. is on from 8-10 every Sat. morning and can be heard on WMEQ.com.  Just click on "Listen Live".

As much as I dislike both SCSU and Whitewater, I hope the Warhawks Monkey Stomp the Huskies tomorrow.

I find myself grasping at a new level respect for Duffman as much as I try to fight off this sensation......

Don't worry, I am sure to lose your respect soon enough.

UWW--Stomp the Monkey home against the Vo-Tech School to the East of the Pine Curtain!!!!!

Nothing would be more satisfying to this Johnnie than to see the Huskies get deflowered by the Hawks!

That's not funny, Mayor.  I get home at 1:00 in the morning after a long drive home from Superior only to find out that my picture is not available.  That really sucks.
