To fans of D-3 football everywhere.  I am honored to have been asked to spread the word regarding a new cancer fund that has been established to help Tom Pattison, UW-W sports broadcaster and founder of www.warhawkfootball.com    I and my family know, all to well, how a cancer diagnosis can be devastating to a families daily lives and finances. Please, consider making even the smallest donation to Tom.

The following is an open letter by Retired UW-W Coach Bob Berezowitz:

Team Tom Cancer Fund Drive established

Once a Warhawk, always a Warhawk are the often spoken words by Tom Pattison, longtime "voice" of the Warhawks. Over the many years of broadcasting UW-Whitewater football, basketball and baseball games on KOOL 106.5 (and prior to that (940 WFAW), Tom has "bled purple" during each one of his broadcasts.

Unfortunately, on May 28, 2012 Tom was diagnosed with advanced stage 2 colon cancer. He underwent colorectal cancer surgery in Fort Atkinson and in the process has developed astronomical hospital and medical bills.

Tom has already gone through the first phase of radiation treatment at the UW Cancer Clinic along with chemotherapy with phase two starting later this month.

Tom has given his heart and soul to Warhawk athletics over his 25 years of living here in southern Wisconsin. He served six years as the president of the UW-Whitewater Quarterback Club and still serves on the club's board of directors.

In 2003 Tom founded Warhawkfootball.com where Warhawk fans, players, former players and parents have been able to view up-to-date Warhawk football news and information 365 days a year. Nearly 1.5 million visitors have clicked onto the Website over the years.

The Website that has been funded entirely by Tom has been a popular "voice" for Warhawk football fans not only locally but around the world.

Well now Tom needs your assistance in his battle with cancer.

With the help and leadership of UW-Whitewater Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Paul Plinke and former Warhawk football coach Bob Berezowitz and KOOL 106.5 Radio a team has been set up to lead a campaign to raise funds for Tom.

The "Team Tom Cancer Fund" has been established through Commercial Bank in Whitewater and is now accepting donations.

Donations may be sent to: Team Tom Cancer Fund, c/o Commercial Bank, 200 South Freemont St. Whitewater, WI 53190

The fund raising drive will also include Tom Pattison Day at Perkins Stadium on Oct. 6, 2012. More details will be announced shortly.

"I have known Tom for many years while coaching and now in retirement," Berezowitz said. "There is not another person who has given more of himself to help promote UW-Whitewater football. He is always writing articles for both past and present players that are published on his Website.

It is now our turn to say "thank you" for his efforts by considering making a donation to the to assist Tom in his time of need.

Go Warhawks,
Bob Berezowitz
UW-Whitewater Football Coach/Retired

Back home from a game that was their for the taking for either school - but SNC converted a few more times and made a few fewer mistakes than Knox. After a loss last week, I'll take the win even if we don't get any style points.

Back from Grinnell.  Pretty good win for the Blueboys today.

Last week, Cecil Brimmage ran for 340 yards.  Today, he hurt his knee on IC's second drive of the game and didn't return (more later).  Michael Bates took over, completing 34 passes for 580 yards, a conference record, and connecting with 6 different WR for a total of 7 passing TDs.  Quite the day for Bates and IC's passing attack.

On defense, IC hounded Grinnell's first year QB all day.  IC was credited with 6 sacks, but it felt like the QB was getting hit on every play.  To his credit, he battled all day.  Unfortunately, Grinnell just doesn't appear to have the offensive weapons that they've had in the past (Seer, etc.)  And I do think that IC is better on defense this year.  They have several guys with high motors who can get after the quarterback.  I'm still a little suspect though of the secondary.

IC did have way too many penalties today -- 12 for 120 yards.  They also turned the ball over 3 times.  One of those, an interception, was returned for a TD.

All in all, a pretty good day in Iowa.  The only bad news was the Cecil Brimmage injury.  Heard rumors that he might have tweaked his MCL.  If he has to miss any significant time, it would be a tough blow to the Blueboys.  Injuries will happen though, like always, and IC showed today that they can still be very formidable through the air. 

IC has a Bye next week before hosting Ripon.  I was pretty surprised to see how close the other conference games were today.  Going in, I thought LF, Monmouth, Norbert, and Carroll would all win blowouts.  Not sure what the scores of those games really mean, but count me as surprised.

I watched the Carroll-Ripon game online. Carroll was able to build a lead in the first half due to Ripon miscues (a bad snap on a punt, interception). In the second half though Carroll's defense couldn't find an answer for that defense from the 1950s that Ripon runs and the Carroll offense started to faulter. Ripon tied it with three minutes to go but Carroll pulled together a drive to score the winning touchdown (missed the PAT) with 40 seconds left and Ripon's lack of pass offense gave them no chance to tie the score or take the game.

It was good to see Carroll come out with a win but they will have to play better of they want to compete for the conference crown.

I was at the Lake Forest/Lawrence game.  Lake Forest did a good job against Lawrence, I think better than the score ended up being.  Their defense is much improved over last year.  From my observation, the big differance is instead of taking opposing players down, they are smashing them down.  That was something I sat watching last year thinking they had to get better at.  The Linebackers are a big bright spot.  They have 4-5 very good linebackers this year who are really going after the ball.  On that, they still only have one senior starting on defense.  There were momentary lapses in the game that allowed Lawrence to scratch the way back into the game.  Hats off to the Lawrence QB, he's a scrappy player.  With some more experience and some tweeks, I believe this I believe will only get better.  One hidden stat was that Lake Forest had 8 sacks I believe, add three intentanial grounding penalties on Lawrence to that and you see they were really going after him.

On offense Scaffidi is one tough QB.  And Mitchell ran for 200+ yards yesterday.  They are doing well behind a very young offensive line.  The line is way above what I expected.  I was really getting ready for disaster, but they have stepped up to the plate.  Still looking to see who is going to be the next "playmaker" in the reciever corps.  With the loss of Kevin Davis, they are still all posturing.  Someone needs to grab the gold ring and go.

We should see next week against Grinnell how good they are.

Good recaps, thanks! 

Fulbakdad -- you guys should take care of business next week in Iowa.  Scaffidi should have a huge day against Grinnell's secondary.
