• The unbeaten UW-Whitewater football team travels to Eau Claire on Saturday. Now in the middle of the season, the Warhawks cannot “just show up” and get the win. Last year UWEC trailed UWW 17-14 in the third quarter before the Warhawks exploded for the final 21 points.
• The Blugolds are likely to have a “full house” at Carson Park on Saturday for its game vs. Whitewater. Eau Claire has played very well at home this season beating St. Johns 23-20 in overtime and a couple weeks later knocking off Stevens Point 26-20 for another overtime win. The Blugolds outscored Bethel (Tennessee) 35-31 in the season opener. Bethel, in the same conference as Campbellsville who played Whitewater in week 3, is averaging 40 points per game this season.
• UW-Stevens Point and UW-Stout will meet on Saturday in Menomonie. It is a huge game for both teams who enter the weekend with 1 & 1 conference marks. Stout is coming off a 30-7 loss at Whitewater. The Pointers beat Oshkosh at Point in dominating fashion, 41-17. Eau Claire and Platteville are also 1 & 1. Oshkosh enters the weekend in second place in the WIAC by a half-game with a 2-1 conference record.
• With UW-River Falls head coach John O’Grady “retiring” at the end of the season, the rumor is O’Grady may join his college roommate Stan Zweifel at Dubuque. It is JUST a rumor at this point.
• La Crosse Mayor Matt Harter on Tuesday vetoed a measure that would have decriminalized marijuana. The veto occurred just before the end of his five-day veto period. The council had approved the measures Thursday. BTW, Harter didn't object in the veto to the merits of the marijuana ordinance, which would give police and the district attorney's office flexibility to charge first-time offenders. Could the UWL football teams stuggles have something to do with all the talk of legal marijuana in La Crosse?
