Does anyone know what happened to so many underclassmen from the 2008 UWW team and why they are not playing this year.

Especially:

Joe Munn

Jeff Donovan

Jordan Stine

Greg Donovan

Munn left school.

They asked him to show his ID before entering the weight room.

60 to 70 % of showers for Moline, IL the site of the Augustgana Regional.... UW-W plays at 7 and by that time all the rain should be out of the area per weather.com....

They better hope that it doesnt rain much so the games dont get pushed back, because UWW will be playing late or early in the morning

Since Brad Demmin played in 40% of Oshkosh's games this year does that mean that he won't be eligible for a medical red shirt? I was wondering it got declined, because why else would he have played in the tournament game against WW.

Knowing that he had likely played in too many games already to receive a "medical hardship waiver" was the exact reason why Oshkosh trotted Demmin onto the field for the WIAC Tournament.

thats what i figured...tough brake for demmin and the titans.  that is definitely not how you want to end your career, especially being pre-season all-american.

Position player wise, I think there are a handful of "locks."
-Berger***
-Fanta***
-Richter***
-Jacobson***
-Gram***
-Giebel (HM)

Then the remaining nine spots are up for grabs among about fifteen guys:
-Fadness ***
-Fosler***
-Hiroskey (HM)
-Sebesta (HM)
-Surman (I would take him over Spurney, despite the lower BA as OB% nearly identical and better power numbers)
-Spurney
-Archambeau
-Stace***
-Gilbertson
-O'Connell***
-Kuhlman***
-Olson (HM)
-Cummings***
-Kannenberg*** (Should end up with enough at-bats to be eligible as both a position player and pitcher like Endl was a few years back.)

POY-I think Berger is again a "lock" as he leads the WIAC in batting average, hits, runs, and RBI's, and is near the top in HR's, total bases, and doubles.

**I bolded the nine guys I would place on the 1st Team**

I ended up getting 12 of the 16 position players selected correct....  (I only picked 15 going off of last year.)

Instead of Giebel, Archambeau, and Surman making it, Zalnis, Hawkins, Coe and Fritz were selected. 

I have NO CLUE how Zalnis or Fritz and their .286 and .276 WIAC averages made it.....

Richter, thanks to a late charge, wins the Position Player of the Year award.

As far as your pitchers, I think your list is pretty accurate, except that I think Saufley should be replaced by either Kannenberg or Lange.  Lange leads the WIAC in innings pitched, and is 2nd in strikeouts.  Kannenberg on the other hand has an ERA over a half run better than both of them, and is tied for third in the WIAC in wins.

As far as the Pitcher of the Year, Zielke is probably the leading candidate, however I wouldn't be surprised if it was a close vote.  Not because of numbers, but because there are some out there who feel the award should go to a starting pitcher.  (Kind of the same thoughts as the Position Player of the Year not going to a DH, but to a player that played the field.)

The two pre-season favorites, in Rubens and Dott, are likely out of the running, as pitchers on their own teams are having better seasons, in Hooper and Kannenberg.

Looks like I was right, as not only was Zielke passed over for the Pitcher of the Year award, he also missed out on a 1st Team selection.  Only four pitchers were selected this season, compared to five last year, and Lange, Dott, Hooper, and Williams were the winners.

Lange was selected as the Pitcher of the Year, after leading the WIAC in innings pitched, second in strikeouts, fifth in saves, and ninth in ERA at 3.86.

yah, there are definitely some spots on the all-wiac team that i don't agree with either

This years All WIAC team is a joke!  There are many deserving players on it and congratulations to everyone who did get on it, but it's quiet obvious that having a persuasive coach who goes to battle for you can get you on when you don't deserve to be there!   The numbers for this team have got to be the worst EVER for an all WIAC club.  You got guys on here with terrible averages, next to no rbis, horrible fldg %'s...IDK what's happening here, but it used to be incredibly difficult to make that team apparently that's not the case anymore.
