Voice's random throughts on football (8/25 edition)
-- Just 12 days till the Warhawks open the season on September 4th by hosting Adrian College at Perkins Stadium. The Bulldogs will bring a team into the Perk that legitimately believes it can win the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Conference title this season. It will be a solid test for the Hawks.
-- Pat Coleman congratulates Division III Adrian for "stepping up" and scheduling Whitewater for a non-conference game. It is something other D III coaches or athletic directors have failed to do over the past five seasons.
-- By the way, Pat and his trusty sidekick Keith McMillan have their first D3football.com Around the Nation 2010 Preview Podcast now online. Check out the Warhawkfootball.com News Wire for more information and a link to the podcast.
-- WQOW, Channel 18 in Eau Claire aired a WIAC football special recently. Eau Claire head coach Todd Glaser and first year Stout head coach Clayt Birmingham talked about the difficulty in scheduling non-conference games against Division III schools.
-- Earlier this week I blogged on the proposed mandate calling for WIAC schools to play one of its three non-conference games against another WIAC school. The Hawks and Eau Claire played an in-conference, non-conference game in 2008. With four new athletic directors in the WIAC this year, I wonder if the WIAC's in-conference, non-conference proposal will be scrapped? You can vote on the WIAC's in-conference, non-conference recommendation by voting on the poll I have posted in the right column of this on-line blog. So far all voters are against the proposal.
-- The popular KOOL 106.5 Monday Night Coaches Show will debut this coming Monday evening. This year the show will be broadcast live from the KOOL 106.5 studios in Fort Atkinson. The 6 p.m. show will also be streamed live along with being available via podcast. I'll have more information on the Coache's Show over the weekend.
-- The deadline for purchasing official New Balance Warhawk Football apparel is coming up on August 31st. Check out the Warhawkfootball.com News Wire for more information including an order form and catalog of the available apparel.
-- It is now 2 a.m. and time for me to shut down for the night. Thanks for clicking on to Voiceseyeonfootball.blogspot.com!
