Any word on Krout's health?  There was concern after the game that his injury could be serious.

[Teamski]

I haven't heard anything.  He was walking around after the game.

 I would like to see that double move he (Krout)put on for his second td catch again.. Sottilare pumped and all three guys covering bit... Actually wouldn't mind seeing the first td again either. ?He strong armed it up and over some how..

Call me crazy, but I don't think this upcoming game is going to end like the first two playoff meetings..... .

Looks like you have a very talented all-around team out there.

Should be a good one

pawesley, yea it was a nice move and pump fake.  the ball held up a little and the db just missed knocking it away.  krout also did a nice job of keeping a foot in bounds.  could not see the first td from the other end, but we figured he went up and took it away from the db since the db was in front of him.  hope krout is playing this week and his injury was only minor.  hope you are feeling better.  i will try and see you this week.

warhawk, i hope so.  the first 2 meetings were no fun from our perspective.   this is a very balanced team, with a defense that may be the best in d3.  the stats say that, but it only matters on the field.  the key will be to stop the dubs running game and force them to throw.  looks like ncc was able to do that and if not for the turnovers who knows what the outcome would have been.  wesley plays a clean game this should be a good one.  really looking forward to saturday.

I am not able to walk to far right now. It took me three rest stops to get to my seat. So I don't move around much!

Turnovers are caused by great defenses more times than not.  In this case, great WARHAWK DEFENSE!

Remembering back to '05 & '06, Wesley came to Whitewater with the posters talking of a very talented, all-around team at that time. No need to re-hash what happened. As many of you know who were around at that time, many (all?) UWW fans didn't have a high regard for Wesley (that may be an understated characterization) at that time & it's probably solidified in people's conscience today...for various reasons. Fast forward to the present - in your opinion(s), what changes/differences in the Wesley program (on-field and/or off) have occured in the past 4-6 years that you feel will allow them or has allowed them to narrow the gap from then to now? The Warhawks have obviously remained at a high level considering the 5 straight Stagg Bowls. The players are different, the HC (at UWW) is different, your playing at home - are all a few of the different variables this time around. Back then, it was discussed at great length that Wesley didn't match up as well with UWW as you do with everyone else you play. People back then were mighty confident about their Wolverines - and reading various posts around the boards today, it seems nothing has changed. I read somewhere maybe the ASC board (WesleyDad maybe?) that UWW might be in for some culture shock coming to Dover. Please explain? I live in Korea - I think I know what culture shock is; I just don't quite know what you mean. Thanks!!  

EDIT: the culture shock comment was on this page, excuse me, I just read it!

Oh brother!  Look, UWW is going to Dover this time around.  For once, Wesley isn't having to travel to a cold climate it isn't used to.  I know Wisconsin weather as I was born and raised in Milwaukee, so don't say anything about the winter weather not being a factor for teams not practicing in it!   The Wesley defense is quite possibly the best the team has ever fielded and with how lackluster the UWW offense is right now, we have cause for optimism.  So, culture shock is a very apt term for this semi-final.   I spent my fair share of time in Saudi, Egypt and Qatar in my 20 years in the service, so there are others out there besides yourself that know what culture shock really is.  We feel that UWW will, too.

I doubt UWW will spend too much time attempting to acclimate themselves to the local culture...

...they will be working too hard to improve their lackluster offense.

BoBo

P.S. your hostility is noted

I certainly hope so.  Why some UWW fans expect Wesley players and fans to shake in their shoes over the Warhawks is quite amusing, really.  UWW this year is just not as intimidating as they have been in the past.  As I mentioned it before, it will be settled on the field.

I really hope WW can go into Dover and steal a win away from Wesley

You are right, UWW will not have, "home field advantage," this time around, The selection committee made sure of that so we will just have to make the best of it.  Traveling across the country to play in a big game, I hope the boys can handle it....................oh, and bring the right shoes.  

As for their, "lackluster offense," we won't have much time to improve it so guess we will just have to hope for the best.

You are too funny ski!  UW-W has scored 117 points in the playoffs to Wesley's 116.  UW-W just scored 20 against the 3rd ranked defense in the country and Wesley scored 19 against the 100th ranked defense in the country.  If UW-W's offense is lackluster, how would you describe Wesley's?    This is going to be a fun week filled with lots of laughs reading your posts!
