Seeing as how you are an Oshkosh guy, I will take a guess that one of the Titans is packing his bags for the move.

Actually he's a Point guy, although in his earlier years he would have been considered a Whitewater guy....

Sorry, you are right. I forgot he was a Point guy:) My bad. Point, Oshkosh, Whitewater... what's the difference when you are a Carthage supporter like me?

Just what the rest of the WIAC wants to see...the rich getting richer.     

Glad to see he's parting with a portion of his poker money and giving back to the university

Who will be catching for WW this year now that Coe had tommy john surgery in september?  Also, is Donovan playing baseball again for them now that football is over with for hiim?

I have confirmed the identity of the mystery transfer.  However I don't want to ruin Dagger's surprise so all I'll say that one poster has made a pretty good guess despite having no direct knowledge of the fact. 

Donovan is playing baseball this season.  Stine will also be back.

Big Poppa, not that it matters but Point was already a contender.  The transfer will probably help them but they're a contenter with or without him.

Come on BW!!!!  Don't I get a little bit of credit for breaking the news first!

I agree 100%. The added transfer really makes them a threat on the national level though. I am very high on Point this season.

Sorry about that cubs.  Initially I thought it was you but when I paged back I saw Dagger's post and thought it was the first. 

The preseason D3baseball.com Top 25 poll is out.  Point is the only WIAC team to crack the top 25 checking in at #18.WHITEWATER is just off the radar at #29th and Oshkosh is also mentioned at #40th.

Ex-WARHAWK outfielder Eric Baldwin is doing quite well as a professional poker player.  Here's some information I recently came across....

     Upon graduation Baldwin entered the world of professional poker playing and, in 2008,
moved to Las Vegas.  He won four major tournaments in 2009, earning $1.5 million, and being
named Player of the Year by Cardplayer Magazine.  In the past four years he has won nearly $3
million.
     Recently Baldwin signed a sponsorship deal with the website Ultimate Bet, www.UB.net, and
will be appearing on NBC's Heads-Up Championship in April.


I remember telling his father that I thought he was nuts for becoming a professional poker player.  I was really on top of that one. 
     .

Stout's the first to post a roster. Two nice transfers – Jon Schoch, UWSP; Jake Duske, Upper Iowa. Good to see nine frosh pitchers. Saw only one of them in HS, and he was pretty good.

So is Jirschele at Point?   I am not so certain how excited he was to be going to Oshkosh in the first place.

I would tell you but it's secret and if I did I'd have to kill you.   

Here's an interesting article about Eric Baldwin's contribution to the WARHAWK baseball program and his poker career.

Gee BW, that looks strangely similar to this post from January 20.

Interesting---Care to elaborate?
