I think they forgot to finish their sentence.  It should read: 

How far can they go?  This is a team that can go all the way to Minnesota, make no mistake.

Gotta be able to get out of McMinnville first....Go 'Cats!

  I thought Lake Forest was out of Illinois?

Very good, CalCat!

Uh oh!   The D3 "Our surprises" article today has Linfield even with MH-B to reach the semi's.   I would rather be the hidden underdog.

Redlands should be a closer game and beating St. John's in Minnesota in cold, late November will not be easy.   I remember our stellar 2003 team that came close, but we still lost there.

Those Midwest and Texas teams have stronger defenses and running games than we see on the west coast.   Yet this year's Linfield team is the most exciting one in many years.    They are extremely young, but talented and very well coached.

Not sure if anyone has seen the Hansen Ratings. His model has Linfield even with SJU...basically a coin flip game in round two. Interesting that not one expert has SJU coming out of that region (which is fine by me).

UWW fans will be watching that game with a close eye

I was hoping nobody would shine a light out here.  'Cats could get tripped up this Saturday so I'm not looking down the road at all.

I mean, if you really want to take a trip to Lake Forest, be my guest, but even if the Foresters were to beat SJU, they'd be traveling to McMinnville, so if you go to Illinois, you'll miss the game.

So pumped for tomorrow! 
Not sure that I agree with all of the D3 predictions of a blowout.  Redlands will be way better than they were in week 2.  And hopefully we are just as much improved, but it's definitely in their favor for the margin to be smaller than it was in week 2 just hopefully not too much!
I watched all the games this season and just can't tell how good this Cats team is.  It really seems as though the other NWC teams are getting soft. 
The test begins tomorrow!  Leave no Doubt!!!

Cats...Left no Doubt...nothing left but big boys now.

It really seems as though the other NWC teams are getting soft. 

Pacific, GFU, Whitworth and L&C aren't pansies.

Go 'Cats!

[DuffMan]

Solid win for the 'Cats.  Next stop: Minnesota!
