Thanks Cawdad for the research.  Figured that was the case but appreciate you following up.

One is an accident (07), two is a mistake (08), three is a trend (notice no number to insert here?)

George-

Any idea on the question I posed earlier about the ref standing over the ball to delay play after we lined up for the punt and then ran our offensive unit onto the field?

Bubs, I e-mailed one of the officials. I didn't ask it the way you presented, but I think this will answer your question.

My questions:  A question regarding the fake punt by Linfield near the end of the game. If they
had become set, could they have snapped the ball before UST was finished making
their change?

Side Judge's Response: No, Linfield has to allow the defense to match up,
If there is a delay because of the substitution it is a penalty on linfield.

So does that mean if the Tommies had just taken their time to slowly get lined up and the play clock expires that linfield would have a delay of game call?

Yep. Dumb rule.

Oh you guys know you love Speckman. You had such nice things to say when it looked like he might leave, I was starting to think you were all very gracious, truly a kinder gentler Wildcat nation.  But he is staying now so back to ripping him eh? Anyway I don't see how a 3 point loss is getting it handed to you but it is a loss.  I would think you would all be happy, a strong Willamette= a strong Linfield= a strong NWC.  Willamette will be back in the playoffs next year, but for now good luck Wildcats. I respect the heck out of your team and your tradition you guys are class all the way. Do the NWC proud. Go Wildcats!!!!!

Yea, I like him. But hate him on Linfield-Willamette game day.

"Mount Union will beat Wesley by at least 4 touchdowns probably more. "  I think that Wesley's experience in the playoffs have got to get them more credit than that....we'll see.

I believe the poster who said this is a UW-W fan and considering that we beat Wesley in the Semi-Final in 05,  58-6 and in 06,  44-7, whether an accurate assumption or not, I think you can understand why the Wolverine's football prowess didn't earn a lot of respect around the Perk.    

Here is another link that will have the game for free on Saturday.  At least, all the play-off games have come with no charge so far. It is not listed right now but it is still early in the week.

A video link to Saturday's game at uww:  http://all-access.cbssports.com/player.html?code=ncaa&media=157764

Are there any other links out there?

That's the one to watch.

To answer the question from earlier this week, I got confirmation that our crew (me and Joe Davis) will be the ones calling the game there.

Thank you both very much.

It sounds to me that UWW has yet to face any real adversty this season....just maybe the Cats will provide that service.

Brig Jr....you know that was just one hater that wrote that.

If the 'CATS can hang with that top tier level team that practices indoors and get the game into overtime I like your prediction. That is where a qb who can accelerate the ball like a rocket  - or run - can make The Difference.

Consider this ROCKETMAN'S coach is THE BUTCHER FROM 04-05.

Let the Purple frisbees fly boys--Let em fly

you 've got the ROCKETMAN  we have theCANNONMAN

here's hoping he shoots down all the purple frisbees.

Everone needs to stop being nice,  I'm going to puke.  No one on here is playing in the game so lets get the smack talking going... (basicly I'm bored)

I really appreciate they way you used Linfield's colors (red and purple) to highlight the words in your last post. We Wildcat fans accept your support of our team.

Tuesday night. Just got in from the DU dinner. Good time. Won a couple prizes and drinked some beer.

So the Cats are leaving thursday. Weather souldnt be a factor because both teams have to play in it. Mac town is no warm fuzzy area. It gets very cold up there and the cold out west cuts threw you alot more then the cold back east. Its going to come down to exacution. I agree with gramps. The cats will win and Mrs. PPJ and myself will be flying to Salem. Grochygramps and Granny might go too. Can't wait.

Go Cats

Are those big waves on the North Shore making you think you might want to travel west instead of east, DenS?

Cawcdad,
Nice photos of the Linfield/St. Thomas game.

WC11, is #23's name pronounced Slee-zak or Slay-zak. I hear it both ways.
