Titan shout-out from Ike!

Quote in Potrykus's story today (which also nicely breaks down that Donovan incompletion I referenced Saturday):

"We were playing undisciplined football," UW cornerback Jack Ikegwuonu said of the defense. "And you play that way against Illinois or . . . I don't know, UW-Oshkosh, it doesn't matter. If you play undisciplined football, you're going to get beat."

Now, Oshkosh has made great strides since Phil Meyer took over when Schwib, Frank and I arrived in town seven years ago, and Pat Cerroni has done a good job keeping the program moving forward since Phil left to coach with Brewster at the U. But Ike might be getting a bit dramatic here, and I hope his comments aren't seen as disparaging. He should have said "... I don't know, Minnesota."

Oh, and we're discussing Swan's season-ending injury, as reported by Millie and Jim Polzin of The Capital Times, in this comment thread.

My only question is, why would Meyer move from Division III to Division IV like that? Too much pressure from the Oshkosh Northwestern writers, I suppose.

Gopher kidding aside, I didn't get it either. Remember when he came to Oshkosh, he said he was sick of traveling far and wide to recruit and wanted to be able to spend more time with his family? Given what we know about Big Ten football that probably isn't the case at the U. But more power to him.
