It takes about a week before the pics go up.  As I remember, prior to this year, you could download the photos for free.   Dot photo is the "official" photographer who takes their own sweet time about posting the pics AND charges $ unless you don't mind the word PROOF being spread across the print.

Now wait just a minute here. I personally take most of the photos that are uploaded to dotphoto, which is merely the service we use to make sports photos available to parents, students and alumni. The uploading is managed by the SID and, quite frankly, it's not his top priority. Especially now as we transition from fall to winter sports. Prior to this year, you could NOT download the photos. A CD of photos was sold at the end of the season. We intentionally kept the prices rediculously low -- below Walmart even -- so that cost would not be a factor for anyone wanting particular photos. This service has been very well received and we've even sold photos to parents of players on opposing teams. Apparently, some "kohawk fans" don't think we should recoup anything for our costs of equipment, travel, time, etc.

Thanks for taking these photos.  Many times I use these pics for my computer background.

I guess its about time I give you my life story since being anonymous is sucha sin....

My name is Dr. Hugh G. Rection and I am a practicing proctologist.  I was born in north central Illinois to a mother with webbed feet. My father was a dolphin.  Often times I would lie awake at night and wonder if I was going to grow up to become a spiteful old man, angry that life had passed me by.  I believe I was on that path until my son Red Beard was born.  He came out of the womb exactly like Chuck Norris, with a full red beard, but as everyone knows there is only one Chuck Norris so I had to settle for a different, rather obvious name.  It was then I decided that I should make something of my life and not antagonize others some 25-30 years my junior.  From that day on, I have drank 3 glasses of prune juice a day and taken up knitting.  So in the famous words of my father....click click click up your blowhole!  Does anyone have any tuna...I'm hungry.

I hope this clears everything up and I can become a "respected" poster now.

Coocoo-
Do you think Coe should talking about weak noncon scheduling?  Before this year, hasn't Coe traditionally had weak noncons? 

Anyway you slice, Coe and Central had disappointing seasons....

Coe used to play one cupcake non-con (get confidence boosted - i think all teams should) and one tough non-con (to see where we really were)

Coe also had some inexperience at the most important position - remember Coe started either a senior with 0 game experience, a soph with 0 game experience, or a frosh with 0 game experience at QB.  They had rookie OC and DC (unless S. Staker called the plays).  It was a learning experience for HC Staker as well.  Yes, he came from within the system, but he had never been a HC at the college level before.
but you know what they say about excuses...

Isn't profit a dirty word in out society today?  Recoup costs but noooooo profit.

Whish is the tough team out of Aurora and Illinois Wesleyan?

[DutchFan2004]

As far as the Coe/Central debate yes Central had a very down year.  Both teams fell equally far in the conference standings.  To ask the question who had to worse season is a very subjective question.  The fact that three people thought that Coe had a worse season and Central only two is not that significant of a difference.  The real question will be next year.  Which team will make a move towards the top?  Will either team get there?

Edit
I will correct myself here.  Coe and Central tied so Central fell farther.  I counted places on the standings forgot to look at the record.

For a week leading up the a playoff game, conversation is pretty weak.

Wartburg fans, what's the thought on UW-SP? They beat defending national champions 17-16, but lost to a 3-7 UW-River Falls. Will this be a one-and-done trip to the post season for the Knights, or will Wartburg pull out a win? Thoughts? Projections?

[Walston Hoover]

Everything seems to be unknown at this point. I don't even know what kind of offense or Defense SP runs. Mindset-wise, they seem to be very similar to the Dutch of last year as they play every opponent close and sneak out a win in the end.
As far as this board is concerned, its seems like there is next-to-no SP posters on the WIAC board. Right now, the conversation is dominated by Johnnies and Whitewater fans posting old crappy jokes about each other, unless they are new up north.

Touche... although, i think Wesleyan was supposed to be better.  I forgot about those two.

They are better than Aurora though, in fact I think they even gave them their only loss this year, They're a middle of the road team in the CCIW. Had a good year last year but it was their first one in a while so I better give them, and Coe credit for that since they were on the schedule then.

On a side note, has anyone seen or been to Whitewater's stadium??

Yes it is quite impressive for the home side.  The visitors seating is average nothing special.  That being said it was in 05 that I was there.  Things may have changed.  It is much larger than any IIAC stadium.

Seems to me that today or tomorrow is the day all conference is posted. 

[Walston Hoover]

I see they had a game this year with over 11k there. By the looks of it, I'd say it seat between 9-10k.

We usually found out on the Monday after the season from the coaches. I'm sure players know by now. Maybe PH could throw us a bone.
