Good morning Warhawk Nation - it's Tuesday


- Congratulations to former UW-Whitewater defensive back, Eric Studesville, named the interim head coach of the Denver Broncos late Monday afternoon following the firing of Josh McDaniels earlier in the day. Eric began his NFL career with the Chicago Bears, working with the club during its 1996 training camp as part of the NFL minority fellowship program and spending 1997-2000 in Chicago handling offensive quality control duties. Studesville has also had NFL coaching stops as a running backs coach with the New York Giants and Buffalo Bills.

- The Warhawk football team and official travelling party will depart for Dover, Delaware Thursday evening via an NCAA charter flight out of Madison. The team will practice Friday in Dover prior to playing Wesley College Saturday afternoon in NCAA Division III semifinal action. The winner earn a berth in this year's Amos Alonzo Stagg Bowl in two weeks.

- Remember a couple of weeks ago when I conducted a halftime interview on a KOOL 106.5 men's basketball broadcast calling UWW center Chris Davis - CHRIS SMITH. Well I did it again. Shortly before going on the "air" last night I was told I had been publishing the final score of the North Central-Warhawk final game as 27-10. The actual final was 20-10. In my 35 years of jounalism I have never let correct facts get in the way of a good story!!

- If you just fed a computer the statistics of the UW-Whitewater and Wesley College football teams, it would spit-out a scenario of a classic playoff game. Both teams play outstanding defense with Wesley giving up 11.33 points per game. Whitewater gives up 11.46 points per game. Offensively, the two teams are just as even. The Warhawks rank 8th in Division III averaging 41.92 points per game. Wesley ranks 9th at 41.83 points per game!

- Saturday's Wesley-Whitewater game must be a big one because KOOL 106.5 sideline analyst Arnie Peck has asked me to laminate his rosters for use on the sidelines during Saturday's game broadcast.

- More to come....
