WBB: Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[stoutguy]

I hate posting two in a row; it looks like I'm talking to myself...

But, I'm wondering if the Stout women's games in Texas will be on radio/internet? Internet is the more pressing question, since I probably won't pull in that  (scathing adjective  removed) AM station from Menomonie/Eau Claire way up here. Really, would a stronger signal be too much to ask?

Okay, I'll talk to you so it doesn't look like you are talking to yourself.  I don't know if the Texas games will be on the internet, but we (WMEQ) are just doing road games on Wednesdays and doubleheaders on Sat.s and only conference games.  The internet is about the only way to go for our broadcasts also, as our AM stations around here are a tad bit short on power.  The good part of that news is we can blab away and really enjoy the game ourselves with the knowlege that only 2 or 3 people can tune the game in because of reception.  Takes all the pressure off us.  But that internet thing can get a person in trouble.  I remember my partner and I making a snide comment about driving up to Superior for a game and I think it was you who caught it on the internet and took us to task for it.  Regarding that trip, this year I told Ed Andrist on our Sat. show that the bad news was we had to drive up to Superior for a game but the good news was when we got up there we got to play Superior.  As it turns out both the men and the women's teams appear to be better up there.

I think UW-Superior's biggest issues--at least the women's--has been stamina. UWS can play a decent first half but doesn't have enough life left to carry on a complete second half. This year, the women did very well against Stout--especially in the second half ( ), which looked promising. They tanked against Whitewater a couple nights later. Nice game against St Scholastica, though. With some recruiting--Mulhern didn't really have a shot at any real recruiting after a spring hire--the depth/stamina thing will probably iron out. I think a summer program would benefit the team, as well.

You know, I've always argued that bus rides play a big part in the quality of play, which might have been a factor in the Stout-Finlandia game. You plant a team on a bus for a couple of hours, and I believe there's some drainage going on--energy, specifically. It's a little like hibernating and then trying to resume warp speed immediately.

I'll keep an ear to the internet, hoping Pam Ruder can work some kind of magic at her end.

Thank you for talking to me.

Hello foul,

Concerning Stout women's games on the internet, just keep an eye on the women's basketball part of the Stout website. If Stoutguy and Jake aren't doing the games at anytime, the SID will link to the other team's radio coverage if available on the net.



But beware, you may end up listening to a Dickie V. wannabe!

For God's sake! Get off line; the game is about to start!

[UWPSUPERFAN77]

Stay on the line, the game is on the NFL network, which none of us on regular Cable get! Blessings!

Hope you all have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Some questions and observations: Just come back from seeing the relatives in Milwaukee. Is this site dead? FL. does your daughter play college BB or coach. If you want to tell me privately, that is fine? You have a lot of insight that I enjoy! Mr. Downtown or other UWO fans: Why did your Titans Women Coach leave last year for a smaller School? I thought Pam Rider did a great job for you guys? I do agree that Ms Trivilar is also a great BB player. I was trying to emphasise how good She was in both Sports. Looks like UWW is having a good season. Your coach is finely reaping some rewards for her hard work.  All I want for Christmas is my my two Positive Karma, My front teeth are fine. Blessings and happy New Year!

U-Super 77--My daughter used to play college basketball and soccer; through a series of unfortunate (or fortunate, depending on how you look at it) events, she transferred on the assumption she'd be able to play DI soccer and declare a major.  Never assume anything, especially when you don't get the full story...

Anyway, she has a nice part-time job and a major. You can't underestimate the value of a major when you're in college. I think she may even have a plan. Yikes.

Belated holiday greetings to all.

[Mr. Downtown]

Its all rumors out of Oshkosh exactly why did Pam Ruder leave. I heard from her former players that she is getting more money to coach in Texas than in Wisconsin.

Plus, there wasn't much more she could do in Oshkosh. I think she needed a new place to go.

I' M A STARTER!!! MY WILDEST DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE!!!!!!!!

Now I'm going after the PowerBall.

I don't get benched because I can't make my quota of karma points or anything, right? I know in most games (not golf, of course) points are vital (NOT vitale).

One thing I've got nailed: I can be defensive and offensive; often at the same time.

Yeah, I mean she already had won a national title (No, wait. She didn't. That was Kathi Bennett's last team).

Well at least she had been to the Final Four a couple of times (No, actually she didn't do that either).

Then at least she had that nice streak of NCAA appearences (No, actually she missed the NCAAs in her last five seasons, right after the last of Kathi's recruits left).

Yep, she sure did it all at Oshkosh

Final just in:  Wartburg 55, UW-LaCrosse 54. (Per Eagle website, LaCrosse' late scoring drought cost them big time).

[UWPSUPERFAN77]

Thank You guys, positive karma and answers, what more could the SF get! Bill: I know she did not do a Mark Thomas or Lisa Stone, but Rider did do a good Job. Blessings to all! leaving for hazardous duty going shopping with spouse. Going to see UWO tomorrow in DBQ, even if I am sleep deprived!

Ouch! Looks like they had a good sized lead, and then led again very late. Things aren't going well for them right now. Searing is playing well ... Hunter, okay. The rest, ehh ...

They should have a day off Friday against Clarke, they're awful. Could have had another game with Viterbo for a trip to the title game. Now they'll have to try to settle for consolation.

So is she not able to play soccer at all now? That's too bad, sorry to hear that. She was a pretty good rebounder from what I remember two years ago. Glad to hear she's doing well though.

I agree that Pam Ruder (that's Ruder with a u) did fine at UW-Oshkosh.  I just think it's a little silly to use the "she had accomplished everything she could" argument.
