Just sent Aaron home from AZ to do a 7 on 7 with WOU tomorrow night... we both agree that the only thing that matters is what happens on the field.... btw... he's gotten bigger  :-)

GO CATS!!

[Proud Papa Joe]

It's getting close to my favorite time of the year. How can D-III Football leave Rocketman off the list. Didn't we slaughter that number 2 guy? Lets get it right. The Rocketman is number 1.

[Gig Harbor Cat]

+K  Cal Cat-- Get back in your golf cart and quit bitchin dude !!  Had a tune up last week for the BWC,  Tell Mike that the wedge is safe with him, if my shots are any indication of what I will do at the BWC

Oh yea--  Congrats Wildcat 11 for securing the silver for the Linfield Program on the national stage for the scoreboard video.  You do awesome work--but then you always did.

[Touchdown Tommy]

GHC: Your boy Rocketman got the bizness from the "guru"!!!  Look at the competition, Monmouth vs Linfield.

Case Closed.

Hope you are doing well.  See you in the Fall you old doggie!!

...findings...they are both excellent QB's.  I just think Boehme is better.

[Pat Coleman]

No doubt. Except one of those quarterbacks faced the vaunted Linfield defense, and the other faced Hardin-Simmons, did it not?

In my sample, both faced the same team.

Same with my Boehme-Tanney comparison.

We did our homework.

Well...vs Whitworth, Linfield was up 24-7 at half   Hardin-Simmons on the other half was down 11 at half to Whitworth.  Can you concede that may possibly effect how the remainder of the game is called by both offenses?

We could always compare them to another common opponent...UMHB.  Granted Feaster didn't play UMHB this year because he missed 80% of the season but he has two games to sample from.

Feaster vs UMHB

Passing             att-comp-int   yards  TD long sack
Justin Feaster    28-17-1          203     1   30     1  (2008)  loss
Justin Feaster    29-17-2          188     1   52     2  (2007)  loss

Rushing
Justin Feaster      5     24     2     22     0     10     4.4  (2008)
Justin Feaster      10     13     28     -15     1     7     -1.5 (2007)

vs UMHB, 2009

Passing                att-comp-int   yards  TD  long   sack
Boehme,Aaron      32-20-0           260    3    70      1  win

Rushing
Boehme,Aaron     5   14   12    2  1  8  0.4

Again, I appreciate that D3.com only selects two QB's and I respect D3's top 25 and All-American teams more than anyone else.  We'll just have to agree to disagree on the choice of Feaster over Boehme.

[D O.C.]

End of the year counts anyway, right?

The nature of the game is Aaron went down in 2008 to a lost season and Justin went down hard and gave it the old college try in 2010.

I will add in Aaron's receiving stats. Any team that does not guard against that fact just might give up a close game, so that's the last time I'll mention it.

As a former Db I also like his chances of stopping a pick six should a tipped ball begin to lead to that.

Boehme was 3-for-9 passing in the second half against Whitworth (13-for-26/50% in the first). More passing at 33% (or 50%) wouldn't help your statistical cause. Up 31-14 with 1:53 left in the third, Linfield went three-and-out on three incomplete passes. Would Linfield have passed more in that possession if the game were closer?

Not sure UMHB in 2007 and 2008 stacked up to UMHB in 2009.

As far as Feaster vs. Boehme...looks like Pat and company had a tough call. Both are great solid QB's. Feaster, however, season ended shortly so, it's tough to compare the two statiscally based on last year's performance.

Comparing what Boehme did against UMB in 2009 vs. what Feaster did against them in 2007 and 08...really isn't a fair comparison. two different teams...two different defenses i'm sure.

As far as facing a vaunted defense Boehme had a decent game against UWW in the semi's last season (apart from his three INTs). Next to Rocco, Boehme was the toughest QB Whitewater's defense faced last season.

I'm not looking forward to facing him again...if both teams get that far

Two years ago, Grant Leslie went from preseason backup at Willamette - not exactly a pass-happy school - to First Team All-NWC.  Which leads back to this:

the only thing that matters is what happens on the field

On an unrelated topic, I think it's really encouraging that L&C feels confident enough in the future of their program to invest in replacing that hideous carpet.  This is another sign that the Pios are in it for the long haul.
