Hey Tiger Fan,

We are passionate AND informed...a dangerous combination! Plus, we have history on our side. This allows all of the CAT posters to be friendly, kind, respectful and intense. We love what we do

So how do the 2013 Wildcats compare to the national champion 2004 Wildcats?

2004 Cats averaged 50 points per game and gave up an average 20 points per game on defense.   2013 Cats have averaged 53 points per game and give up an average 12 points per game on defense.  Thus we are winning games by 11more points than the 2004 Cats. With those numbers I like our chances in the playoffs.

The 2004 team did not have to play the 2013 HSC Tigers.

Oh boy. You should have stopped.

Happy Thanksgiving to the PC family.

Other than the Wisconsin Whitewater classic semi-final game at the CatDome in 2005, my most vivid CAT playoff memory is the 2004 semi-final game played at the CatDome against Rowan.
I had a pre-game ritual of watching from field level all CAT opponents arrive at Maxwell Field, unload their team bus and go out on the field for their pre-game warm-ups. The Rowan players impressed me from the git-go.     

It's funny that you give such a detailed description of this game.....I don't have time to research all the players involved but your description reminds me exactly of the playoff game we had at the CatDome with UMHB.....with the same result. Interesting how history repeats itself.

I knew that would get you guys fired up.

I've had so much fun this week hanging on your board. Can I come back next year and just always be the guy pulling against you?  That way you'll always have someone to talk smack to. The ODAC board is great but this one is a lot more fun.

....can't wait 'till you play the Johnnies or Whitewater.....

ADvantage 'Catdome = Playoff Round 2 preview: Linfield (10-0) vs Hampden-Sydney (9-2)

I'm bettin that UWW and Mount will both have their hands full this Saturday with opponents that will have a good chance at shocking them both.

So you're hoping the Cats can beat H-S, Franklin, Rowan, and Wittenberg to win the championship?

Sorry dude, the Cats will have to make the trip to Whitewater next week. And Mount isn't going anywhere either. I guess you can always wish, though.

...That might call for another burger at the Deluxe!

Here's hoping that the actual Wildcat team isn't as cocky as many of its supporters. 

Cocky?  I guess.  However, this core group of Linfield posters have been some of the most loyal and and supportive Wildcat fans I know.  Even during the "lean" 6-3 years when Coach Smith first took over the program these posters didn't waver and didn't fade into the night.  There are examples over and over again of lots of smack talk during the build up of a big game and lots of compliments and congratulations to the 'Cats opponent from these Linfield posters in victory and defeat.

People can label this group anyway you want, but to me, the Linfield fans on here make this board and the d3football community a better place (even if we get out of hand from time to time).

Personally I have found bantering back and forth with you guys great fun. I expect to get it as much as I give. No one, at least to me, has made personal attacks. You guys have a lot to be proud of with regards to your team. We have not had any national tournament success until this past Saturday but we still have loyal fans that love our Tigers. Each of the last 3 or 4 years we have averaged over 5000 fans per game. Second most in D3. That more impressive considering our enrollment (1100) and the remoteness of our campus. I hope we have 100 to 150 travel to this game. With it being Thanksgiving weekend I'm not sure.

Your website lists your attendance at just under 3700 per game.  That may be second in d3 but i don't know where you get that from.  3700 is impressive for such a small school but REMOTENESS, cmon, you are in Virginia, nothing is remote in Virginia.  Although you are only about 6 miles from Farmville.

Happy Thanksgiving to all.  Safe travels to the Tiger fans who head out to Oregon.  Have fun out there.

Nash Nance is a good stage name....

With all the stats and info you we've discussed I'm actually surprised that no one had not pointed this out sooner. Nash is the real deal - Rivals 3 Star recruit coming out of high school.  I have no doubt Yoder is every bit as talented.  I have really enjoyed the back and forth we've had on this board the last few days. I love my team, you love yours. If I give it I expect to get it back. I tend to be more the politically incorrect guy on the ODAC board.  Thus my 50/50 in the Karma. There's really not a lot of zings over there. I call it the sweetest board ever.

We'll arrive Thursday. Any suggestions for Friday activities. Please don't suggest visiting a winery to sip wine.

I'm sure the Oregon guys have a lot of things you could do but for me..... next time I'm in McMinnville I'm making a trip to the Evergreen Aviation Museum to see Howard Hughes Spruce Goose.

Yeah!  I don't wanna hear any complaints about playing in the cold weather.
