Good morning, and welcome to Whitewater.
Today begins the first day of winter, shortly before noon. The forecast calls for a high of twenty-eight, with cloudy skies.
Whitewater, a small town equidistant between Madison and Milwaukee, is in the news for its extraordinary college football team, national division three champions for the second time in three years.
Footage of the celebration, after the team’s return from the game, is available online:

FREE WHITEWATER is a blog about the politics and political culture of Whitewater, Wisconsin. As such, I seldom write about sports. There are times when one would prefer to write about sports, and the accomplishment of the truly extraordinary and exceptional, wholly free from politics.
Whitewater’s fine accomplishment is just such a time, free from political characterization, an accomplishment worthy of praise for the season-long efforts of players, coaches, and supportive families and fans to capture another national title. This exciting and victorious game, against an experienced and tenacious opponent, is worthy of admiration and congratulations.
