GT,
Neither one of those posters had the priviledge of seeing the 05 match up between our teams, I believe.  For those of us who were around in 05 and did see it, there will be NO underestimating that a dog fight will take place at the Perk next weekend!  

I really could care less what happened between our teams in 05. We won, it was a great game from what I saw on Linfield's fan site recap (didn't get into UWW football until the Stagg Bowl that year when I was accepted there for 06). But the thing is that that game was 4 years ago and nobody on the teams are the same. So both sides can talk all they want about that game and it'll mean nothing.

Besides that I think UWW 09 is better than UWW 05 and that Linfield 09 is worse than Linfield 05. And I do respect Linfield, I know that you guys can beat us if we play bad, I just don't think we will.

Except for some of the coaching staffs .  What is the same is the respect that each program earned from the other after an absolutely incredible game was played between two equally talented and impressive teams.   Anyone who was priviledged enough to witness that game, from the fans to the players to the coaching staffs, experience and shared something special that day.  I don't expect anyone who wasn't around at the time to understand it but you are making a mistake if you downplay the shadow the 05 game will cast over the Perk on Saturday.

I do hope Linfield looks back because that will probably be a mistake. Both teams need to focus on this year and this game and not be distracted by what happened before. Maybe the coaches will focus on it but they're both smart enough to realize that doing it too much will likely result in defeat. No past result matters, I'm not sure about Linfield since I don't know their team but I know UWW knows it. Hopefully it's a good game but my prediction is still UWW 38-14. And who gives -k for disagreeing in a respectful manner?

Not I, young Master Jedi.  I'd be looking at the Linfield posters for the source of the -K.  I prefer to use positive reinforcement.    BTW, I have found that whining about -K usually just gets you more.

Haha, I will say that I don't really care about the -K at all, just saying how it's pretty dumb to give it when someone just disagrees with you lo.

MasterJedi...we all know UWW is a great team. We look forward to the opportunity to play them in the semi's.

[6t3bird]

Anybody out there really think Smith is looking back?  I doubt it.  Except maybe to the last two games.  Both against very big, talented , predominantly running teams.
I would hope we realize that we had the most trouble when we were in a 3 man front against both teams.  UWW is a similar system, but better manned, and a better passing team.  
We won't have the luxury of waiting until the 2nd quarter to adjust this week!

1. The offence will have to be spot on. Score early and not play catch-up.

2. Stop the run.

3. Get UWW out of sinc.

If we can, we'll be fine and it will be a great "CAT" fight.

Hey Jedi,

A better prepared and more disciplined team usually (99%) prevails in a football game. Three questions for Saturday: Does the more intelligent team make their opponent play badly? What happens when a home team plays well enough to win, but still loses? Worse yet, what happens when visiting team plays poorly and still wins?

Think about it! Tighten your jock strap baby and suck it up!

I don't get TOMMY FANS

We invited them to join us at the Deluxe  Pregame   NO SHOW

We invited them to join us at our Prime time Tailgate  NO SHOW
They instead decided to tailgate on the north side of the Catdome

Anyone that has ever been to the Catdome knows that the following rules apply.  Season ticket holders sit under cover.
Visiting team fans usually sit across in the stands on the fifty.  Students in the south endzone  (South Forty style)
The rest of the field is lined with the hard core Cat fans sometimes 4 deep.  On the visiting side the boys move up and down the field as the game action goes on--usuall between the 30's only.  When we go in front of the visiting stands we dont give the visitiors any crap,  Just go on our way.

This held true yesterday but I ( as a veteran hardcore fan) noticed some things that I just dont get about the Tommies ??

The Tommy team requested heaters for their sidelines ??  We had no heaters on the Cat side-- Are the Tommies really from Minnesota--  Cmon now  Man up a little !!

The tommie fans must have been very cold as well because throughout the whole game they were bouncing their feet off of the metal stands just to keep warm (we didnt supply heaters for the stands) They couldn't have been doing it as some kind of cheer, cause it would have given you a frickin headache in no time at all.

About half way through the second quarter the crew was moving from south to north when these 3 tommie girls ( very short) munchkin type came down and started walking with our crowd screaming
Tommmieehh,,Tommmieehh.  One was right next to me and she stopped to catch her breath and she asked me,  well arent you going to cheer.  I just asked her-- do I look like a frickin cheerleader and moved on.  They started back up Tommmioiehh,  Tommmieeehh.  Three trips later I had to ask.  I asked her which player number was her player boyfriend Mr Tommmieeh.  She said they all were Tommmieehh's  at this point I figured she was dating the whole Tommy team and moved on ( with a smile)  Back in the day we had names for girls that dated the whole team, but thats another story all together.

Next to join the party was a MILD ( mom I'd like to drop kick).  She joined in with her pom pom's screaming with the munchkins, front row right in the middle of the Cat crew.  I noticed that my buddies that work at the steel plant were quite impressed with Mrs MILD, we just moved on ( with a smile) She stayed with us for the duration pom pom's and munchkins in tow.  I think she kinda liked the steel workers, cause she was up on em pretty good.  I can only imagine what my son would have done if he would have come off of the field after a defensive stop with the fellahs and seen Mrs GHC bouncing around with pom poms yelling go Cats go.  Holy Crap Batman-- It would have been baddddddddddddd !!!

All in all it was another great Catdome experience--- No Harm done,  everyone had a great time in their own way.
BUT

I think I am starting to understand the comments from the SJU boys about the Tommieeesshh

Bottom line  I don't get TOMMY fans!!

BAM--Thats all I got

Let's go 'Cats. 

Droppin' bombs on the Toms, all day long! 

Dropping being the key word.

Hey  NWbird,  you were right on this we dropped many open passes today that could have doubled the cats score ..

That Cute little tommy  looks good skined hangin on the catdome wall next to the kingsmen crown and the cru man today ..  Go  cats  Go big D

[stanbob]

The bird man isn't done crying just yet:

I didn't want to bring this up because overall the 'Cat Fans were top notched in my opinion but, since you DID bring up the 'Cat fans in front of the Visitors Stands you dtated, "don't give visitor fans/players any crap is an outright lie or your looking thru rose colored glasses! I was embarassed for our "Ladies" in the stands that had to listen to the foul mouthed, crude & over the top 'Cat fans there.

This was the only dissapointing moment besides the loss on a great day of Football hosted by an overall proud & 1st class organization.

Anybody out there really think Smith is looking back?  I doubt it

I dunno just what made him almost crack a smile in the post game press conference.

Coach Smith and Staff are only in the present to the extent they need to evaluate the corrections and adjustments for the recently completed game.
Beyond that, these men (all the men) are already in the future.
I like his critical analysis and forthright answers to a question out of "The Past"...
"Because that's what I wanted to do!"
