BB: Regionals (Midwest) Oshkosh '08, '09, Whitewater '10, '11

Seeing Jeff Donovan cannot play football this fall could he opt to play for the Whitewater basketball team?  I heard he is quite a basketball player too.  That would be impressive if he could and made 1rst team all conference.  I'm guessing there's not even a chance but just had to throw the idea out there.  I can't imagine how great of a senior year he'll have in baseball now that he can just focus on 1 sport.

I don't know what Jeff's plans are but it would be cool if he was an assistant QB coach in the fall and played baseball next spring.

Jeff is focusing on baseball this summer.  He'll play for the Green Bay team in the Northwoods League.  I don't know about football coaching next year but he does plan on using his final year of baseball eligibility.   I kind of doubt basketball is anywhere in his plans.

Message board for the 2011 Midwest Regionals at Prucha Field to be hosted by UW-Whitewater.

Let's hope either Oshkosh or Point assuming both make regionals are shipped out to another regional.

IF, and that is a big IF, both the CCIW and WIAC both get three teams in, I could see them swapping a team into each Regional.  If not, I could see all three WIAC teams going to Whitewater I don't think there will be a surplus of Midwest Regional teams qualifying this season.

I don't see that happening, at least based on last year's Central regional -- the CCIW had three teams qualify and all went to the same regional.  I'm not sure it's even something that can be proposed.

Please remember that the South Regional is at Rhodes.  The Virginia teams are more than 500 miles away from Memphis, so we might see some teams moved westward, all thru the brackets.

Google maps says Joliet to Millington is 506 miles. Nowhere in Iowa appears to be close enough. Dallas, Indianapolis and Cincinnati are less than 500 miles.

Significantly, so is Demorest, GA, which shows up as precisely 500 miles from Marietta by the shortest route. Every VA or NC possibility could go to Marietta. Methodist could only go to Marietta and stay under 500 miles, if they get a berth that is.

Teams that could be in the tournament that could go to Millington would be anyone in the SLIAC, Transylvania, Rose-Hulman, Franklin, Thomas More, University of Dallas, anyone in the ASC East still playing (Mississippi College could only go to Millington and stay less than 500 miles).

That's really not many possibility. SLIAC and Piedmont will most likely be there. Maybe 50-50 on HCAC champ or a Pool C, Thomas More maybe, and it seems likely that the ASC champ will go to the West unless it's Mississippi to help fill that regional.

Piedmont to Marietta is 505 miles.

If Piedmont is selected, then Piedmont can be flown anywhere that they are needed.

It can and HAS been proposed....  Take a look at the 2008 Regionals.....

While there were three CCIW teams last year, there were only two WIAC teams.  In 2008 when three WIAC and CCIW teams qualified, Carthage was "shipped" to the Midwest Regional, joining Whitewater and Oshkosh, while Stevens Point went to the Central Regional, joining Augustana and Illinois Wesleyan.

As you can see, things were shuffled as recently as three years ago, so it wouldn't surprise me to see it happen again.

Well they should use google because it's a helluva lot easier than navigating all that crap.

I am not looking up the zip code for every place that isn't a university.

Whatever...pretty sure they're not going to ask me anyway.

Piedmont isn't more than 500 to Millington though, is it?

You're right.  Piedmont to Rhodes is only 460 miles. 

If Piedmont gets a Pool B/C, then they are can go there.
