As always, thanks Pat!

Clearly, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois, all Blue.  Change may come slower than I'd like.  Sooner than the rest of you would like.  But make no mistake; August 12th, change arrives at the MWC.

Sorry BTNT,  Wisconsin (and D3) is currently ruled by the purple.  Just ask around.

Fair enough.  For now.  I should have limited my statement to reflect only the MWC. 

[SNCOLDAD]

Don't worry about it blu. Most of us realized you were referring to the MWC. Some from those schools of over 10,000 feel like they have to flex their muscles every so often. 

[The Roop]

Oh, has Whitewater made the play offs recently ? ? ? I hadn't heard that...................

[SNCOLDAD]

Whitewater....Are they purple?   

Hey Roop.

[BoBo]

Yes, they're 10,000, purple & lovin it!! 

[blu thru n thru]

10,000!  Seriously?  I just looked that up.  Here I was scratching my head wondering how a program could be so dominant.  I was impressed.  Out of ignorance, I just figured all the D3 schools were smaller in nature.  All the ones we looked at were between 1000-1800 +/-.

Here in Texas, we have Class A through 5A high schools.  Even with that, we have (2) 5A classifications.  And, subsequently, (2) 5A state champions. "Big school" & "little school".  6A is being considered to deal with the increasing size desparity.  Klein High has never won a state championship.  They made it to the 5A semi-finals this year.  They've done that once before (in like 40 years).  In looking at this, we simply need to re-position ourselves in, say, 2A and we'd end that drought.  It'd be sweet!  Our band (400+/-) would be bigger than the entire student body of the teams we'd face.  But oh, how totally validating that championship would be...

There are D1's that barely have 10000.  Y'know, my kid woke up this AM feeling a bit in need of a self esteem infusion.  As luck would have it, some 8 year olds were walking to swim team practice.  I told him to go out and kick their a....!  He's strutting around the house like a peacock now!  He's 18...

We don't post flyers in the dorms or on campus that read "football tryouts today."

Every now and then there comes I time when I regain hope for the future.

Boy, please!  Nor do most D1, 1AA, or D2 schools.  But no one talks about it b/c they don't come on small conf. boards pounding their chest...  

[badgerwarhawk]

I was merely pointing out that the general student population isn't as big a deal as many think it is.  I leave the chest pounding to others.

Fair enough, Golliath.  Perhaps someday our paths will cross.  David

Gotta dream big!

If you're dreaming that dream then you better check for dampness when you wake up.

If they do it would be wise to bring more than a slingshot. 
You're new here but I can tell IC has added a staunch supporter to their numbers.  Good luck I hope IC experiences some success and your son finds his time there rewarding.
