Atlantic Central Football Conference/Independents

cnu, got to watch most of the game, when i wasnt watching the fisher/thomas more game, and i saw what happened.  the gulls are tough and the running game wears the d down.  you guys do a great job with the videocast, clear picture and the announcers are pretty good.  they add nice info for those of us who are not cnu fans.  good luck the rest of the year.

I agree a great presentation.  Looks like SU is still rooted in their triple option.  It will be a test for Wesley's D-line for sure.  I wasn't too impressed with their defense though.  If Wesley can contain the O-line, then they should have no problem containing the QB.  Regardless, it will be a good game next week!

Typical Game 1 for Wesley. Sottilare seemed like he was a little too anxious and the jitters got to him, overthrowing a lot of passes etc. The offense will settle in. This team will work out the cobwebs this week.

Salisbury next week will be interesting but IMHO, Salisbury needs a few new wrinkles in that option attack if they want to put up more than 14-17 points on the Wesley D. The Wolverines have become to familiar, hence the 7 straight Route 13 victories. I MAY be out there for that game....depending on my school work for this week. So maybe I will see you all then!

quiet in here.  should be a good game this week.  watched much of the salisbury game last weekend and they look the same.  as these games usually do it will come down to wesley not turning the ball over and avoiding big plays by the gulls.  i think wesley should score in the 30's and it has been some time since the gulls have done that against wesley.  i will be looking forward to the game and sort of like the 600 start, makes it easier for me to get there on time.  see you at the game.

I am sure that Sottilaire will be more settled in this week as well.  I will see you at the game!

A couple thoughts about the Salisbury game.  Like most of the games I have seen between the teams, I expect Salisbury to be able to run against Wesley's defense early while the Wolverines figure out the specific blocking assignments.  Films can only help so much in this regard and until the players see first hand what is coming at them, the advantage goes to the offense.  However, Wesley has had great success adjusting to a rigid offense.  The only thing I always worry about is the when the triple option moves to the outside of the tackle.  It is so important for the defense to stay at home and cover all of the options.  Wesley traditionally has gotten into the backfield and screwed up Salisbury's ability to option time and time again.  With the new D line, this is the $100 question on whether or not they can disrupt the QB.

It will be one hell of a game for sure and I hope Wesley can force some of those famous Salisbury fumbles.....

Well said Ski. If any of you are concerned I will be making the journey out to Dover tomorrow, then from there to Salisbury. Hope to see you all there!

dlip has to favor Wesley here and does by at least one TD. He has a ton of respect for Wesley and almost always pulls for them but here, dlip is pulling for the Gulls big time. Good luck to both teams and dlip hopes for a competitive, exciting, and injury free game for both teams. A top ten rivalry in week #2 is about as good as it gets. Enjoy and safe travels to all heading down!

Wesley 34-17

game day, beenhit2hard, ski and waterboy, I will see you at the game.  Weather looks like it could be an issue with 30 - 40% chance of t storms during the game.  Rain would seem to favor Wesley since a wet ball would make the option game a little tougher to run.  As usual, avoid turnovers and the stupid penalties and Wesley should win the game.  CNU was able to contain the Gulls last week for most of 3 quarters so I believe Wesley will be able to do it too.  Ski mentioned the turnovers and Salisbury is known to give a couple of them a game.  It is always a good game and a fun atmosphere, will be interesting to see how under the lights adds to it.  Safe travels to all going.

 Would like to see Wesley  get the ground game going a bit. You don't want teams being able to all out blitz all day long. Should be another good one But I think Wesley's D will hold down Salisbury's O Weather could play a big part in this one!!   
With the bad weather and the long trip I am going to have to listen to Jason and Sean on the PC tonight. Going to miss next week also because I have a date with a surgeon on Tuesday. Hope to be able to travel by home coming. Supposed to be video of tonights game . Everyone travel safe ...

To fans of D-3 football everywhere.  I am honored to have been asked to spread the word regarding a new cancer fund that has been established to help Tom Pattison, UW-W sports broadcaster and founder of www.warhawkfootball.com    I and my family know, all to well, how a cancer diagnosis can be devastating to a families daily lives and finances. Please, consider making even the smallest donation to Tom.

The following is an open letter by Retired UW-W Coach Bob Berezowitz:

Team Tom Cancer Fund Drive established

Once a Warhawk, always a Warhawk are the often spoken words by Tom Pattison, longtime "voice" of the Warhawks. Over the many years of broadcasting UW-Whitewater football, basketball and baseball games on KOOL 106.5 (and prior to that (940 WFAW), Tom has "bled purple" during each one of his broadcasts.

Unfortunately, on May 28, 2012 Tom was diagnosed with advanced stage 2 colon cancer. He underwent colorectal cancer surgery in Fort Atkinson and in the process has developed astronomical hospital and medical bills.

Tom has already gone through the first phase of radiation treatment at the UW Cancer Clinic along with chemotherapy with phase two starting later this month.

Tom has given his heart and soul to Warhawk athletics over his 25 years of living here in southern Wisconsin. He served six years as the president of the UW-Whitewater Quarterback Club and still serves on the club's board of directors.

In 2003 Tom founded Warhawkfootball.com where Warhawk fans, players, former players and parents have been able to view up-to-date Warhawk football news and information 365 days a year. Nearly 1.5 million visitors have clicked onto the Website over the years.

The Website that has been funded entirely by Tom has been a popular "voice" for Warhawk football fans not only locally but around the world.

Well now Tom needs your assistance in his battle with cancer.

With the help and leadership of UW-Whitewater Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Paul Plinke and former Warhawk football coach Bob Berezowitz and KOOL 106.5 Radio a team has been set up to lead a campaign to raise funds for Tom.

The "Team Tom Cancer Fund" has been established through Commercial Bank in Whitewater and is now accepting donations.

Donations may be sent to: Team Tom Cancer Fund, c/o Commercial Bank, 200 South Freemont St. Whitewater, WI 53190

The fund raising drive will also include Tom Pattison Day at Perkins Stadium on Oct. 6, 2012. More details will be announced shortly.

"I have known Tom for many years while coaching and now in retirement," Berezowitz said. "There is not another person who has given more of himself to help promote UW-Whitewater football. He is always writing articles for both past and present players that are published on his Website.

It is now our turn to say "thank you" for his efforts by considering making a donation to the to assist Tom in his time of need.

Go Warhawks,
Bob Berezowitz
UW-Whitewater Football Coach/Retired
