Lance,

Thanks for the support. I'm not going to argue with you on anything to do with statistics or football research. I hope it all works out like you suggested it can.

Good luck to Wartburg, too. We always keep an eye on them.

[D O.C.]

1:15 AM PST and I can give speedybigboy a karmalization. Pacific...good one.

[coco]

Yeah, that was a good one. Are we still hearing those continuing rumors about Pacific?

Hey, how come we don't play any games for shoes or pipes or buckets or bells in the NWC? We have our individual rivalries, but we don't play for any traveling prizes.

Like the one between Linfield and Willamette could be a kicker wearing a skirt.
Nah, why would we even want to win that?

[Kilted Rat]

WC11,

Got any videos like this one?

To be honest, I don't think even our BE could pull this one off!

Willamette and L&C play for an Oregon Trail inspired Wagon Wheel. UPS and PLU play for some type of Totem Pole.



Linfield and PLU pretty much used to play for the NAIA D2 title.

Lance Harbor for President.

To all those who have served or are currently serving in the military thank you for your service and Happy VETERAN'S DAY.

[Tuxguy]

I second that R&P,
We will be thinking about all of you tomorrow, and every day as you give us the freedom to do as we please.

God Bless America!

KR, The kid could come run Track for us! He has great Form! 

Hope to see many of you at the game tomorrow. Go CATS! 
                                                         BELIEVE

Thanks Red for reminding me to honor those brave souls who gave it up for the rest of us. To all, you are not forgotten, especially Mike Barrow.

Bringing up Pacific for an additional opponent is great. Playing under the lights at Forest Grove is even better, beings they had one of the smelliest fields known to mankind. Too bad they plowed the field and tore down - or did it fall down - their version of Qwest Field. BTW, we might as well bring back Whitman and ACFKACOI. Both were capable adversarys in their day, and each has the money and resources to do so, it's just that we beat them too badly too often. And, if we really want a league of our own, maybe the old Seattle Ramblers can muster up a few ex-Huskies.

As others have said and what I believe, it ain't over til the fat lay sings. It's not all that bad having your destiny in the hands of another once in a while.

D-train, really?  we play them for a Totem Pole?  Must be a newer tradition or re-instituted cause I don't remember that from '83/'84.

RNP, thanks for reminding me why I have the day off!  I'm sending some +Karma (brainwave style) to all our Veterans out there, thank you!!!

Classic, who/what was ACFKACOI?  and what about Oregon Tech?  I take it they no longer have a program?  Do other areas, Midwest?, back East? have this problem of schools dropping their football programs? 

Here's my Destiny not in your hands story.  1983 we were sitting at 6-2, ranked #9 (only 8 teams went to the playoffs) with our final game in the mud at Pacific.  The day was typical early November Oregon, that is RAIN.  They had those stands with the wooden front that went all the way to the ground thereby trapping the water as it flowed off the field and forming a puddle, okay a small pond!  By the 2nd half the pond was big enough that standing on the sidelines we were ankle deep in water.  We won the game so we're happy about that.  Then the news came in that (I think Willamette) had beat or tied Linfield giving us a share of the conference crown.  Then the best news, a team from Colorado, Mesa?, ranked #8 had got beat and we were in the playoffs.  We made a fine run before losing a close final to Northwestern Iowa at the Tacoma Dome.

So like Classic said.  "it ain't over til the fat lay sings"

Congrats to the big man from Whitworth who has been invited to the Hula Bowl, and accepted.

Aloha, Mr. Allan

Memo to the rest of the Whitworth receivers: You had better start getting open and making some plays. Teams are going to be focusing their efforts on your TE big time. Take some of the pressure and attention off of him and start catching the rock. You had a combined 0 grabs against Linfield.

ClassicCat,
I posted this awhile back, Thanks for remembering Mike, his life was too short that's for sure.

[During that same time line, I remember a Quote from the L&C coach about Linfield Qb. Mike Barrow, "That Barrow kid can throw it on a dime."  (rest in Peace Mike, you will never be forgotten!) Dang War!
Every one have a great night!
PEACE!]

Damn...Oxy beat me to it.

[retagent]

I'm right now watching "Honor Roll" featuring the top ten bowl games, on ESPN2. Unless my aged eyes are deceiving me, I see a Linfield jersey hanging in the background

You forgot Lancaster.....LOL

It is not the distance one has to drive down here (this is still the greatest fwy system Sunday morning 6 AM) but 8,000,000 cars on the road at once and some ignoramus drops a load of used mattresses off the '79 Dodge pick-up and 40 miles can take you 200 minutes.

California Highway Patrol willing I can get to
Chapman 15'
OXY 60'
Redlands 70'
La Verne 50'
Muddville 55'
Po Pitz 40'
CaLu 80'
Cal Tech 50' (watched cricket there once)
Whittier 45'

On further reflection, Monrovia Cat is just about alligned with all those institutions except Chapman. They are all somehow relative in their proximity to the 210 Fwy (Rose Bowl) and mountain foothills. Redlands is most east and Cal Lutheran the most west.

I posted once already  it is Whitworth's home game to earn but a pity they may not draw as many as 3000 if / when OXY comes to play.  Lots of  the LINFIELD community would like to see it and it's too far for a day trip.
