Great game between the Cats and the Kingsmen yesterday. Nice to see the Cats at #3. Regarding the Kingsmen, very rarely do we see a top ten ranked team lose and then go up in ranking!! That speaks volumes of respect for both CLU and Linfield football.

GO CATS!!

In my mind today was a perfect example of no matter what the score is in life (or a football game), if one has faith, anything can happen. My hat is off to Wesley for never giving up, and making the most of a dire situation. You guys witnessed a tremendous comeback, one of humongous proportion. Good luck next week.

As with Linfield, I want Wesley to play to their absolute best potential - no mistakes, no injuries, no coaching booboos, and in fantastic weather conditions.

May each kid and every coach on both sidelines be able say after the game, "I did my best, I gave it my all; I have no regrets."

Should that happen, it reduces the probability of hearing excuses - the should of, could of, would of scenarios - from people who find fault with anything after their team loses.

With a Wesley win, I will be one of the first to tip my hat and say job well done Wolverines. With a Linfield win, I will still be one of the first to tip my hat and say job well done Wolverines.

GO CATS - LEAVE NO DOUBT

... "I expect that Linfield will play a slightly different D than they did last week and try to stop McSweeney from running.  Most of the Cal Luth QB yards came on drop backs that turned into runs when the O line opened huge lanes for him.  "

Spot on Wesleydad. I'll be surprised if Wesley sees much of a three-man rush. CLU's qb tucked and ran because the defense gave him that choice with effective secondary coverage. Perhaps one should review the Lewis and Clark game from a week previous, and evaluate Linfield's defensive strategy in containing their double threat NWC Player of the Year qb. The Cats won 47-14.

..."if Wesley can't run the ball with someone other that McSweeney it could be a long day." Good observation.

..."I am worried about the punting..." Good observation.

..."I expect Linfield to bring the house to try and turn the game on a blocked punt." Think it and ink it, and it will probably happen.  You know then, the special teams are coached by a former Linfield Hall-of-Fame head football coach. If a punt isn't blocked, there's a likely chance #4 will run one back.   

..."If Wesley plays like they did last week they will get blown out."  It won't happen. You have too much pride, we have a whole lot of respect. The past is water under the bridge.  I expect Wesley to give their best effort.

I know from personal observation this year Linfield's defense is very quick, fundamentally sound, well disciplined, well-coached, and intelligent. I know defense wins championships.
If Wesley wins, your team deserves to bask in the glory of victory.

If you expect a short passing game, you will be torched as well as executing far more kick-off returns than you like.

If the kicking game is going to make a difference, I know our field goal kicker has game - anytime the ball is snapped within your 32 yard line, he can nail it.

One thing that needs to be addressed that hasn't been discussed: half-time adjustments and second-half execution.

Wesleydad, and all Wolerines, you guys are in for a treat.

As best as I can tell, Linfield's record in the Eastern Time Zone is 1-0. ;)

Ralph, the CATS played in the NAIA Championship Bowl at Augusta, GA in 1965 against St. Johns. You might say we're on a one-game winning streak hoping to make it two.

Wildcater23 .....

Happy Birthday, and thanks for the memories that made the game special for you. It was also a special game for me, and I imagine a lot of Linfielders have positive thoughts about the journey to a successful outcome as well.

Dude, enough of the excuses. The guy you had at QB for more or less the entire year (13 of 14 games), actually had a better season throwing the ball than your "#1" the year prior in '10 (look it up, I did). It wasn't like you won games despite his deficiencies. 

Obviously you didnt do enough research. Look at the rushing yardage. The reason I said that was because McSweeny adds a demension to our offense that Sottilare does not and that is the ability to run at QB. Sottilare had a great season at quarterback last year, but I think with McSweeny, his running ability makes him harder to defend and allows us to do more.

Whoop dee doo, you guys lost Blanchard last year. Thats one man. We lost 5 or 6 of our starters offense. I think that if they were healthy we may not have won, but it would have been a much closer game. If you cannot really grasp that fact. I cannot help you there my friend

FACT? How do you know it is fact?

How come some fans feel a need to rationalize when their team loses? Why is it necessary for them to offer excuses, or to fabricate, and find solace in statistics to convince others that his team should have been victorious?

Waterboy, would you say as described above in your post had Wesley won?

Concerning the Linfield-Wesley video feed, a great big boolah Pat.

Can only speak for myself, but Linfielders must continue to support those who advertize on d3football.com. Pat, you have many fine sponsors, but I'm particularly impressed that Eckhart Tolle chooses your media to promote his teachings. Having been chosen by him speaks volumes for your work.

Good job, and again, thank you.

Our welcome has been worn out on the SouthEast Independents board. There will now begin a period of not answering any hook, line, or sinker. Probably got advice from the johns.

Dang it D.O.C., I believe you're correct with your reflections about Wesley posters. And I wanted to share some whimsical banter:

What does a Wesley fan say when s/he sees a Navy blue and white jockstrap lying on the field? Oh no, another Linfield touchdown.

Why do Wesley posters want to talk "x's" and "o's" with us prior to the game? Because they love Linfield football.

Oh well.

Ski, my man, rather than insult me with your diatribe, you guys need to go work on your car... the nuts around your driveshaft are way too tight. Loosen them up baby!

This is the time to give thanks. Be thankful the Wolverines are still playing football this week, but it too shall come to pass.... "Inns takes a two-step drop, looks left, spots Jepson wide open on the far sideline, fires deep.... TOUCHDOWN WILDCATS. My Oh My."

Kiss your wife before dinner tonight. Find peace.

gig, just in case you didnt get it, the donkey has nothing to do with your possible political affiliation.  more towards the fact that you are a jackass.

Speaking of jack's magna cum laude ass, I bet you're just like his smart-ass. It wouldn't surprise me if you could sit on a tub of ice cream and tell me what flavor it is.

Have a good day.

Hel PA Wesleyfan,

The only folks that'll be visiting The First State next week are those who will pay a visit to the Dover Downs Casino.

Hey wesleydad....

I want to apologize for all my Cat buds who don't want to talk football with you. So, let's talk some football? Tell me, is it stuffed or pumped? Why do some football's have white stripes and some do not? What's the circumstance of a football at its equator? Which is obtuse, a football or a certain east coast poster?

There'll be no need for you to Google Maps for anything Texas.
