This year marks the third visit to Whitewater, WI for the traveling Stiftungsfestivities. For those who have attended past years, the pre-game was far more enjoyable than the actual game itself.

In the spirit of good sportsmanship and fair play and bipartisanship and all that jazz, we’re bringing back the “View from [opponent]” feature from last season. It may only last this week, but there is no better week this season to include it. The MIAC championship is on the line and special situations call for special articles.
