FB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[sac]

Speaking about UW schools, Wisconsin (Madison) lost a tough one yesterday.  But..how about that Northwestern team?  Not bad at 9-2 already and they should beat Illinois next week (although that is not a given as when those two schools play, it more often a tough game.  If NU wins, that makes them a neat 10-2 and will probably get one of the better bowls.

If Michigan and Northwestern both win this weekend the Big Ten will have five 10 game winning programs, meaning a 10 win team will likely be playing in the Big Ten's 5th Bowl slot at the Holiday Bowl.

1. Playoff
2. Rose
3.  Citrus
4.  Outback
5.  Holiday

Take what? A bunch of arrogant fans sitting behind a bunch of rings? They are the champs. No one else has a chance. So be it.  The Thunder are the next team up for the slaughter. 

That's about all the analysis you get from that group.

That wasn't very nice.

Seriously, is there a tailgate area?

Way to go SAGER! 

Way to go SAGER!

USee, C'mon man. This is a message board in which we talk about football teams. You know darn well (I'm guessing) that arrogance is about an exaggerated sense of one's OWN worth or importance. We just brag on the football team we support, not ourselves.  I don't know any UW-W fans at all that think they are personally worth more because we happen to support a successful football team.

I admit that Bleedpurple can be pretty annoying, but that's how I created him to be. All UW-W all the time. Usually, I reserve harsh BP comments for counterpunching when someone attacks something UW-W.

Here's a rundown of the UW-W characters (from my perspective):

BP- makes brash predictions about UW-W, most of which have come true. And counter-punches UW-W bashers. Probably unnecessarily hard. He's not one to take too seriously because his tongue likes to find it's way into his cheek. Especially in the WAY he posts.
02Warhawk- A recovering pessimist/realist that knows a lot about football, often fears the worst might happen to UW-W. He will bash Mout Union out of nowhere on occasion. For that, I am proud of him. 
Emma17- Former UW-W player who is a frustrated offensive coordinator in love with the slant pass.    He has strong opinions regarding pool C. He also understands the nuances of written communication and calls people out when they misquote him or use straw man arguments.  Another worrier ala 02. He has been a mystifying supporter of both NCC and UW-O over the last several  years. Not above UW-W, but supportive nonetheless.
BadgerWarhawk Posts mostly informational things. He is among our most respectful posters and probably the most universally well liked by those who follow other programs.
413 Long-time poster who just made her re-entry. Mother of legendary UW-W linebacker. Don't mess with 413! 
Bobo- Just a kind and gentle soul who cares a lot what people think of him. 

A few others, but the above probably have contributed 98% of the WIAC board posts over the past year. My descriptions above are about posting habits, not about who they are as human beings. Of course there is overlap, people are posting their opinions. But don't read too much into it as to who we really are as people. In real life, I believe in Jesus and everything.

I love that you have provided a glossary for us. This is the one time of year there is a lot of inter-regional board chatter.

P.S. I thought Emma was a woman until reading this. I can't be the only one. Can I?

Your welcome, Thunder. And your ability to type while sleeping is quite impressive!

When it comes to UW-W and the playoffs, no expounding or fantasies are necessary.

The only difference between this year and every other year UW-W has been in the playoffs since 2005 is who we play in the Stagg Bowl.

Truth.

Wheaton v Whitewater. This should be fun.

For the Warhawks, yes...but probably not so much for Wheaton. But, at the end of the day, it should be a good learning experience for the Thunder!!

Good morning, Gentlemen,
   Hope you are all well.  We have just experienced the worst college football attendance record since before #33 went to UWW in 03. Several family health issues including a difficult loss and a new baby grandson, (weather,) has prevented us from going to all but the home opener for Carroll so far     Soooo, very excited for Saturday's game, being played at Wheaton, in the FIB's, "backyard."  Bet the Thunder has a kickass tailgate atmosphere!  Oh......wait.......   

Are you Wheaties just going to sit there and take all of this?

Soooo, I check in to see if any of my guys welcomed me back after not posting since last winter and felt a little bad, not going to lie, that my re-entry and my sob story on the WIAC thread had received zip attention  only to find that my cute little joke, meant to give the guys a chuckle, had been high jacked.  Didn't even see it coming!  Boy, I am really out of posting shape!!!     I can't imagine if I'd made a crack about something important like the Thunder team. 

But the guys can tell you, I take my tailgating very seriously!

Yes, welcome back 413! Meant to post this in response to your initial WIAC board post. My apologies. I'll do it here.  Since Wheaton has the home game, I guess that hosting privilege extends to the CCIW board!! I'm sorry you weren't able to do more tailgating this year. I'm especially sorry for the health issues and the difficult loss. Welcome back to the boards!  And yes, 413 is a hellacious tailgater and her husband make one incredible pot of chili!!

That's awesome! I'm sure you aren't the only one.

Oh man, this has the chance to get real ugly for me.
So let me try a distraction.

I get the feeling this team may be Wheaton's strongest in terms of line play and defense- if this is the case I imagine we've got quite the slugfest coming up Saturday.
