BCPress,

It was great to have your in site on the Bearcats and also to meet and talk with you at the playoff games.
Enjoyed your articles and look forward to your year in review.
Keep up the good work.

Only at a D3 football game could you have 2 seats on the 50 yard line (2 rows behind bluenote) and have an obstructed view!
I love D3 Football!!!

Coco,
Thanks for posting the BE interview....nice piece!  Looks like Brett has found his passion and hopefully will be a Cat coach for immediate future and help lead the Cats to another national title.

You're welcome, WC'64, except I didn't post that. RedandPurple did. I posted the link to the News-Register article about the football team joining Mac PD to help the fight against domestic violence, after they quietly raised $600 for a victim.
Two words:  THE STREAK

Thought I'd clear up some of the misconceptions some of you have about Whitewater football.

Whitewater has 25,000 students. All of them are all-conference football players from major high schools from around the country. (even the women)

They try out for the team, and the 100 who make the team are given new BMW's to drive for free, and given top end condos to live in, also free of charge. We try to keep it quiet about the $500 a week spending money they get.

We have NO entrance requirements but contrary to what has been said here, it is not similar to the Army. The Army has raised it's requirements, and very few of our players can pass. That's sad, as it leaves little for them to do after graduation except work at McDonalds.

As for transfers, we lie about that. Most of them we list as transfers are 28 to 30 years old, and play in the Canadian Football League when not playing for Whitewater.

That's the basic formula for how Whitewater has built their program, and it seems to be working.
If you can't ignore an insult, top it; if you can't top it, laugh it off; and if you can't laugh it off, it's probably deserved.

Wow, thanks for the clarification.  Now it makes sense that they beat the Bearcats! ;D

Great response years after the subject had died.  1 tip though: don't bring up admission requirements...
Winning isn't everything, but wanting to win is...

I do believe that is the longest post I have ever seen janesvilleflash write!  He must have been inspired.  ;D

janesvilleflash...thank-you for clarifying.
In exchange please let the powers that be know (after the Stagg Bowl, of course) there is a quarterback in the SCIAC at Redlands who is very competent and could be had for the right set-up.

The student population of Whitewater is 5+ times that of Willamette. 75% of the freshmen admitted to Willamette have GPAs over 3.50 (52% are over 3.75). By contrast 70% of the freshmen admitted to Whitewater have GPAs under 3.50 and of those *30%* have GPAs under 3.00. Repeat: Thirty frickin percent of Whitewater freshmen did not have a B average in high school. 76% of Willamette freshmen are in the top quarter of their high school class; 68% of Whitewater freshmen are not. I wonder how often Lance Leipold has to consult with an admissions officer to get a borderline player into Whitewater. Hmmm, let me take a guess -- never.

Compared with Willamette, Whitewater has a much bigger student body, virtually nonexistent admissions standards, and low cost in-state tuition. They can get any player that they want or any player who wants to go there or any player that they steal from another conference.

Whitewater's good at football? Big deal. Heck, they better be.

OxyBob

Hey Bob, are you that kid we used to beat up in high school? You sure sound like it. I'm not even going to bother to ask you to provide the sources for your statistics, because that would be beside the point. Here's the deal:

You are on a football message board. You have posted over 100 times on various boards at d3 sports, a good many on this very board. The topic is FOOTBALL. And you say, "Whitewater's good at football? Big deal. Heck, they better be." Yes, Whitewater is good at football. Very good. Good enough that you obviously don't feel like the preppy little, snobbist, elite, rich kid Jr. College you root for would stand a chance if they were ever competent enough to get far enough into the playoffs to play them.

OxyBob, why don't you start a movement to create an NCAA D4. It could consist of all the schools who buy into your philosophy and would rather whine and complain rather than make the commitment to do what they have to do to compete with Whitewater. I KNOW Linfield would never join you. Willamette would never join you. My guess is most of your conference wouldn't join you. I know, you could have each player take a standardized test the morning of the game and use a fancy formula to add that to the score on Saturday afternoon. After all, what happens on Saturday afternoon is only football. "Big deal".

Oh and Bob? I don't think you should use the word "frickin". It doesn't reflect well on your preppy school.

How dare you. Take it back now. Pat, take this post down now!

Calm down RFB. Consider the source and take it for the humor and poke at DJ that it is.
