FB: Northwest Conference

[d-train]

Well Said Geroge though I think the boys from PLU may disagree with your comment about "no team on the west coast...."  The Lute program has been strong for years (yea down the last couple but every program has down years).  I like looking back a the 80's (and early 90's) where it was Linfield, PLU, Linfield, PLU......taking turns each year at the conference national title. 

+1, but I fixed a few parts.


(509)Rat - come on back.

D-train,

What a great video. Thanks for posting that.

that is a wonderful story.  We are very lucky in ways we don't even understand. Seems like Pac Lu is a great place to be.

Someone removed a post about next year not looking too good for Linfield.    Don't count us out.    We lost 3 games this year by a total of 17 points.     

I'd like to hear the reasons why but couldn't come up with any so I removed it.

Yes, I got spoiled from the Mathews and Elliott years and as down as the season seamed it could easily have been 8-1 a top 10 ranking and a playoff berth. Next year the NWC gets the AQ and the 'cats will be back.

As some of you know I am working on fixing up the guest bedroom in our new home with a wildcat theme to it as well as having stuff from all D3 schools in the country. If you guys have anything you could part with please bring it to the tailgate.
Thanks,
Swede

(509)Rat is around and posting on the NWC Basketball board with the season about to start.  He loves all his Pirates but I think he is really a
(GYM)Rat

swede...I cannot deliver for a couple of weeks but I'd like to donate (509)Rat to your guest bedroom basement collection.

...will it be stuffed or preserved in a jar?

With first quarter grades done, and the high school football season over it is good to be back on board.  May not be the favorite or most consistent of the Whitworth posters, but still love the crimson and black.  There have been a few things brought up recently that I wanted to touch on.  Financial Aid packages...I think it is much more common for Linfield to put together a better financial aid package than Whitworth (friends could have gone their for cheaper, my personal recruits said linfield was cheaper, and you have a freshman now that said Linfield was 6 grand cheaper (so don't think you can use that as an excuse for issues of recruiting).  I don't necessarily believe that there is that big of a problem at Linfield either, you were one 4th down stop away from beating Willamette and you ran into a defense at Whitworth that has been playing together for 4 years (if you score one TD you basically win).  Whitworth broadcaster is Bob Castle, and yes he does a phenomenal job.  I also think he does a pretty good job of not being so homerish in his game calling as well, Whitworth is very lucky to have him.

Great to have the BUCS come to the westside for a nice 30-40 minute commute so that I can watch them in person and listen to the Logger PA guy.  They have played us tough in years that we were more skilled, hope that isn't the case tomorrow.  Interesting to see what the Loggers look like after life without Rory Lee (who put up some big stats against us in the past). 

GO BUCS 28-7, into the playoffs...(unless someone has their head up their a$$)

I'm in Mac. When do the festivities start tomorrow?

[bluenote]

I don't necessarily believe that there is that big of a problem at Linfield either, you were one 4th down stop away from beating Willamette and you ran into a defense at Whitworth that has been playing together for 4 years (if you score one TD you basically win).

No excuse for the Willamette game but we did score a touchdown at Whitworth.

It would have been great if that one counted...

[Olinemom]

Good luck tomorrow to Linfield.  Sending e-brownies to the Tailgate!!  They come in all flavors and never dry out!!  Go, Cats, Go!!!!

Thanks, Olinemom.

Good luck to your Eagles, too. I know you are taking an unwanted break from the playoffs as well. Maybe next year....
