With the Super Bowl just days away, it’s easy to assume many Whitewater area pizza joints are preparing for a busy day. But with the Green Bay Packers gearing up for their first appearance in the big game since 1998, pizza businesses in Whitewater are looking forward to the extra incentive that the home team is sure to bring to their business.

When thinking of powerhouse women’s track and field programs, the UW-Whitewater coaches and players know not many think of them as one. Part of the reason is that in the last three years they haven’t contended for a conference championship and have finished in the bottom-half at the year-end WIAC indoor meet. But with the new season underway, new coach Josh Ireland wants to change the perception and attitude surrounding the program.

Andy Harris doesn’t have a fancy office or get any credit for the football team’s national success. But that doesn’t bother him. “I just like being behind the scenes and getting out of the way,” Harris, the team’s director of football operations, said. “I just like staying out of the way.”

It was all a matter of seizing the opportunity. For Levell Coppage and Antwan Anderson, this was the motto both played with throughout the 2008 football season. And when each had their chance to start, Coppage and Anderson grabbed it with full confidence and kept UW-Whitewater’s running back tradition alive.
