Re: NDSU wins 25th straight

It looks like the Bison are going to be excellent again this year. Iowa State is awful, however. They may even lose to Kansas this year.

Re: 8/28 - Leathernecks vs Valparaiso

For reasons I do not understand, "school spirit" in support of athletic teams appears to have waned at Western. This appears to be the "root cause" of low student turn out. Oh, you can blame weather, marketing, wifi availability, performance on the field, lack of beer sales in th...

Re: Wisconsin Alumni Social Roll Call

I will be at the game but will not be at the social since the event is being held on State Street which is a good distance from Camp Randall Stadium. I am staying at HotelRED right across the street from the stadium...

Re: 11am start times good for football?

I suspected this would be an 11:00am kick-off. Thankfully, I am staying at HotelRED right across the street from Camp Randall Stadium the night before the game...

Generally, they do not. There are exceptions of course. If they later earn a roster spot for the regular season, this is when they typically become "represented."

Re: Farewell, WIU

Best wishes for success Beau! I will miss your call of the WIU football games as I listen online. I lived in Wisconsin for 31 years after I graduated from Western. I hope you can tolerate long winters [essentially November-April]. I lived in Madison for my first 12 years in Wisconsin and I visit the...

Re: Bad News

I suspect the university and the football program will let the legal system "play out" before they make decisions on player status. This is SOP in this situation. If the player charged is later acquitted, the charges dropped or the charges reduced via plea agreement, this will likely affec...
