You've seen all of those SCIAC Teams in person...who do you think will come out on top? Isn't it kind of up in the air between Oxy, Redlands and Cal Lutheran? Which team do you think is the best of that bunch?

I think Redlands looks the best  but I've only watched the SCIAC teams (except Oxy v Linfield)  on video....

ADvantage Catdome:  'Cats Win! Linfield clinches a share of the NWC Title and locks up an NCAA bid.

[Touchdown Tommy]

Weird 11, no mention of that weak sauce 36 pt defense...

This 'Cats squad will get carved up in the playoffs...

[D O.C.]

I have not seen LuLu play yet.

Redlands had an opening drive in the OXY game that hit on 12 cylinders. The coaches had the scheme, the route was WIDE open and Selway laid it out there. Then their jockstrap got twisted for 45 minutes until they put it all together again to go 90 yards for the winning score - oops, penalty = loss, again.

I will see the LuLu - dogged game at the end of the season. Whoever does win will be jacked and be a worthy opponent...for awhile.

Oregon colleges look to football to draw more males to female-dominated campuses

http://www.oregonlive.com/news/index.ssf/2009/11/oregon_colleges_look_to_footba.html


Our johns visitors will not be able to comprehend this article - if anyone would care to help them...

Pacific sophomore Brandi Palmer says she has a writing class that's all female students.

"We're mostly feminists, and everyone agrees about things," she says. "Having more boys would encourage a clash of ideas."

This is my favorite quote from the above article. What a disaster it would it be if college classes had people with differing IDEAS! The horror! The horror!
Sexist little snot.

Pacific gets huge points for trying to keep their school coed and diverse. It's reassuring that the administration realizes the connection that football creates with the players and alums. Maybe the others will figure it out.

Coco, I took her comment as being in favor of bringing in more men, maybe I'm wrong but note the word "encourage" that she used.  This is the drivel I found astonishing......

""So what?" asks Martha Rampton, a professor of history at Pacific who opposed re-introducing football. "Show me why it's a problem."
She wishes Pacific had tried to lure more male students by adding new intellectual or cultural programs, rather than the "retrograde" approach of adding football, which she says stereotypes young men."

This from a professor?  Who's the one with the stereotype problem here?  A male professor would have been sent to sensitivity training for a comment like that. 

It's been awhile since I was on campus or on the practice field, but the guys I played with weren't dumb jocks and usually each season a guy or two with significant playing time would decide to hang up his cleats and not return the next year so he could focus on his studies.

New regional rankings are out--

1. St. Johns
2. Whitewater
3. Linfield
4. Central

St. John's jumps to number one on a bye week...go figure---I'd say it's totally based on SOS but then Whitewater wouldn't be #2....  Oh well.  We have a bye this week so maybe we'll jump back up

[Gig Harbor Cat]

TD Tommygirl,
 The only carving to be done  will be by The Butcher--Now Coach Butcher's O--  I don't give a crap how much the other guy scores as long as we score more !!  Besides if you look past our boys on D you are truly a dumbass !!
In other words TDT our quick is better than your quick !!! Dude

I say this with all of the respect you deserve

UPS dragged Linfield down....just like it did for UWW

[D O.C.]

yeah, but....

Linfield's offense was outstanding. The Loggers started two freshman d-backs, and Boehme went after them all game. The o-line gave him great protection except for one breakdown in the first half. One of the UPS players I know said that the tackles were studs, better than UWW's linemen.

I still think this is about SJU, Central, and Linfield fighting for seeding position.  Just think they'll move UWW to the North, MUC to the East.  Then again it just might be wishful thinking.

Too bad we don't fight for that first game being a BYE anymore.

You mean like Cole Franklin transferring to Oregon State to study engineering?

You may be right about that girl, Speedy. I was irritated at the whole "football is bad" philosophy that some of them seemed to have, and perhaps she didn't. I think you're spot on about the professor's quote about football being "retrograde," and how if a male made such a comment about a female sport, he'd be sent to sensitivity training.

These people need to be clued in to the concept of STUDENT athletes at the D3 level. They're pissing me off.

In her defense--her opinion may have been shaped by a story I was told by a friend/Pacific Alum.  Apparently, when Pacific cut their program at least one player got drunk and tried to chop down the "tallest barber pole in the world" they had on campus (is that thing still there?).  Anyway, he passed out half way through and was picked up by the police when they came across him sleeping there, axe in hand, the next morning....

Cats are seeded #3 in the West?!  All the more reason to just focus on the PLU game.  Need to come out at CATDOME and Bring it.  Both O and D need to have their act together.  Looking forward to watching that game from the sidelines.

Go Linfield!
