Let's see if we can pick up some more Mercer chatter by talking about our games this year. You never know who only reads the forums, or checks once and writes it off as a dead forum.

That said, any thoughts on the upcoming Wisconsin road game (November 12th)? Besides the obvious "lets hope we don't get completely destroyed!"

It is of course, a guarantee game for Wisconsin, but there are some keys in this game that will shape the season:

- Starting lineup: Slonaker likes to stick with a starting lineup, I've noticed that changes are extremely few and far between during the season. This lineup will shape the season, lets hope its good!!

- Key players off the bench: Once again, Slonaker is typically predictable as to who gets the minutes off the bench.

So basically we will find out a lot of information as to what to expect in the upcoming games. Anyone that plays well in this type of environment is definitely going to be able to perform in the conference games. If the freshmen had gitters at home vs. CG&SU, then they better get in a zone come Sunday.

Coverage for the game: Radio is maximum, ESPN Full Court did not pick this game up.

Well we got waxed as expected, but it was somewhat close at times. I think the team did pretty well for playing the #9 team to open the season. I think it was the same starting lineup as GC&SU
