- Stagg Bowl week is quite a scramble for the UW-Whitewater football team. The biggest game of the season is coming up on Saturday. “Fall semester final tests for players prior to leaving for Salem on Wednesday evening. Two days of indoor practice (tonight in Kachel Field House and hopefully Wednesday at the U-Dub’s McClain Indoor Facility). Oh, by the way, the UWW coaches had yet to get the Mount Union video from the NCAA as of 6 p.m. Monday evening.!
- It has been a Warhawk football tradition to have “on site” graduation for football players earning degrees but on the road in Salem for the Stagg Bowl. Not sure how many will recieve degrees at the team hotel on Thurday but it is very cool!!
- What is the old saying? "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" Is the saying also good if it says, "If a light standard falls in a college football stadium and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
- If you are heading out to Salem this weekend and will be in town by Friday evening, may I suggest you consider having dinner at Awful Arthur’s Seafood Company in downtown Roanoke, Virginia (108 Campbell Ave, SE ). AA has been the official Friday night of Stagg Bowl week restaurant for many of us Warhawk fans for what is now a sixth consecutive year.
- For player’s parents and other U-Dub-Dub football fans that will be in the Salem/Roanoke are by Thursday noon – the annual Stagg Bowl Week Spotlight on Champions" Luncheon will be held at 12-Noon at the Salem Civic Center. A limited number of tickets at $25 each are available to the general public. For ticket information call the Salem Civic Center ticket office at 540-375-3004. A limited amount of tickets are available.
- While my mind is focused in on the Warhawks and the Stagg Bowl, I'm saddened that Brett Favre's football career has likely come to an end. When I was on the on the Green Bay Packer beat producing the Titletown Report aired radio stations around Wisconsin an neigboring states, the Brett Favre Wednesday media conferences were legendary. Something changed with Brett following his departure from Green Bay. To me, it seems like Brett was forever scarred by the way it ended in Green Bay. I know it is a business but why do NFL clubs just send many of the elite players simply out to pasture (Joe Montana, Dan Marino, Emmitt Smith, etc)?
- Time to go so I can get to washing clothes for the trip to Salem!
