Hey 11,
  Stop by my tailgate, got a beer, (or two,)  with your name on it.  You're definitely going to need a firepit to stand by.  Will PM you.   8)

Maybe the weather WILL be a factor in this game. UWW Campus closed today. This from the UWW website:


"Governor Jim Doyle Wednesday morning announced the official closure of all state government and University of Wisconsin system campuses. All UW-Whitewater classes, day and night, are canceled.
The Governor's order states that employees should not report to work Wednesday unless their job duties include emergency response, public health or public safety."

Does potential impact of no football practice today constitute a "public health or public safety" issue for UWW faithful?

Or maybe the prospect of the Linfield Wildcats coming to town constitutes an "emergency"?

Of course, as AI would say, "We're talking about PRACTICE, man..."

BoBo It wasn,t your post.  It was bleedpurple.  Guess I'll have to figure out how to quote, before I get my ass kicked

Just having fun 6t.

We all know the game will be decided on the field. UWW fans have all the respect in the world for Linfield. Linfield fans have all the respect in the world for UWW. It's just fun pointing to things we think can make a difference for the team. I didn't smack the Rocketman at all. I was just saying he's going to have to be pretty good because the UWW D is pretty good. Besides, he's now known as "The Big Difference!"   

Understood BP.  And yes we do respect UWW.  If both teams play well, I can honestly see this being a 3 point game going OT.  My pick............you can probably guess.

Gametime weather calls for 28 and sunny.  Dens OC will be easy to spot, whitewater fans-- He will be the dude with the surfboard, dressed in flip flops and surfer shorts.  What a stud !!

Surfs up Dens OC

Well, the wife has officially begged out of the game saturday, some nonsense about low temps not being good for a 9 month old baby. I will still be making the trip, and plan on joining a random tailgate. I will also be streaking the field, wearing only the wildcat head, once we win the game. All of the ww fans will  probably simply shrug and go back to thinking about ice-fishing 24-7. Boehme will officially cement his status as the best qb in the nation when he passes for 350 and rushes for 150.

Spirit--28 degrees=shrinkage

So technically, it will be against the law for the Warhawks to practice today...which I'm sure they will.....I've already called the Sheriff to report the violation....I hear he has an axe to grind with the entire institution.

I have to commend your wife. I wouldn't let my 9 month old baby travel ANYWHERE with someone prone to such delusional thinking.

This is totally amazing, over on the WIAC board wildcat11 posted a comment about Boehme using the word concrete, you used Boehme and cement here...nicely choreographed guys. +k to each of you!!

...just the same as it is here at the CatDome...except it's 17 degrees instead of 28.

Of course, as AI would say, "We're talking about PRACTICE, man..."

hahaha

[D O.C.]

I laughed at that 'practice,man' as well

I suspect many of you do not go to the front page blog so I reproduce here what someone who's got your back posted

Gotta weigh in here – The last two (maybe three) Linfield play-off games were primarily "runnin' the ball" games from the opponents because pass interceptions are very embarrassin' for the opposin' Q-backs. Linfield has a quick, well-schooled defense, and what they don't have in size – they make up in speed, tenacity and "game-smarts". Give up lots of yards, yup...intercept and force turnovers....YUP Win the game...yup........

The "higher" scores by opponents in the Puget Sound and Lewis and Clark games occurred because the "first string/starting" players stepped out and gave their younger team-mates a chance to play and learn. This is a training technique that not all schools embrace – and it is honorable and ethical. Winnin' a game by 40 points is a bit brash – especially if the younger less-schooled players never get on the field. Linfield beat St. Thomas by 11 points, and it could have been 18 points easy if the Linfield offense chose to play the last 3-4 plays @ the 1 yard line, rather than take a knee and preserve the health of their players and the dignity of the game.

UWW will be a tough, physical game for both teams, well matched, well schooled and well played – it will also be bitter cold and snowy – not something we often have to address in McMinnville, Oregon. The best team on that day will advance to the finals, and EVERY player walking off the field can hold up his head – knowing they are a member of one of the top D-III teams in the US.

Go- Linfield Wildcats...!
