Yeah, I've heard of it, but I've never been to Ironwood.

I've driven through Watersmeet, MI on my way to Copper Harbor...home of the Nimrods, of course...and I've also stopped by Gay, MI. No Ironwood though.

With 6-6-06 just recently passed, I have yet to go to Hell...Michigan.

Despite all the times you've been ordered there?

Do not pass Go? Do not collect $200?

I've been to Hell (Michigan).

Youpers would be quick to point out that Hell is near Detroit and Paradise (Michigan) is in the U.P.!

My friends and family say I'm pretty stubborn!

Yeah well, the money just burns a hole in my pocket when I get there anyway (drum please!)

As noted, the Platteville schedule is now posted.

Platteville gets another big time exibition game, this time vs. Purdue.

That should be a challenge!

I understand that there is a connection between Purdue and Paul Combs. His father was associated with the program (team doctor?) when Paul was a child and he spent a lot of time with his father watching Purdue basketball and meeting those connected with it. One of the papers ran a story on it recently.

The Oshkosh schedule is now up. Nonconference games on the road include Edgewood and Elmhurst, along with a "holiday" trip to Siberia, the Clarke College Holiday Tournament. Home games look intriguing with Lawrence, Carroll, St. Norb's and Grinnell all make the trip to Kolf. Lawrence and Carroll are top teams (obviously) in the MWC and both were ranked last year for most of the season. If you get a chance head to Oshkosh on Jan. 4th to see "the System" in Grinnell. It's entertaining and painful to watch at the same time. Oshkosh has a VERY STRONG noonconference schedule, IMO.

La Crosse schedule

Platteville schedule

River Falls schedule

Stout schedule

Eau Claire, Stevens Point, Superior and Whitewater have yet to post schedules.

UW-Superior picked up a nice backcourt recruit from the tough Chicago Catholic League, Dwight Hill.

Oldschool,

The tougher the non-conference, the better see's Van Dellen. He wants it that way so just in case if this team doesn't win the conference tourney again, they might still make it to the national tourney.

One name that I am watching : DJ Marsh. If he's half as good as Van Dellen thinks he is...then Oshkosh might not be missing Jahnke.
