FB: Northwest Conference

[Andy Jamison - Walla Walla Wildcat]

The top 2 programs are Whitewater and Mount Union.  They are 1 and 2 for me, respectively. They have earned my respect with their on field results and until beaten deserve the top two spots.  In order my next tier would go - Mary Hardin Baylor, Wesley, Linfield, St Thomas, North Central and Bethel. 

I think that by year end Chapman will be a Top 10 team.  A close loss to Linfield to start the year and then dominating the SCIAC the rest of the year.

It would have to be a really competitive game against Linfield because Chapman won't have beaten anyone worthy of vaulting them into the Top 10.

Has anyone else seen the George Fox football billboard on I-5 just before the bridge? I took a photo to try and post but can't get it small enough...

They even had the b***s to put one right by the catdome  That'll cost 'em when they come to town

Did you type that post with your GFU hat on Swede?

Hat goes in the D3 room with the others. I will be buying a new Linfield hat today . Think I'll wear my Chapman hat    when I head out to get my LC hat think after I get my new Wildcat hat today I'll take a drive over to GF.....hope I don't get thrown out

I Thank all posters along with friends for helping me out with my room.

I see more of a slow but steady climb in the polls.

I voted UMU because if  they had long odds in Vegas for DIII who the Stagg Bowl participants will be...

HUH?
I'm sure there is a prescient thought in there somewhere but, to my elderly and deteriorating mind, it remains unidentified.

I think Chapman in for a huge surprise when they play Linfield, but they must take the step. The more interesting point will be what if UR can pull off an upset? even if the games are close, one could argue top 25.

.... I think Linfield will do very well vs. Chapman and Redlands. I don't think it will be blowouts....but Linfield's line on both sides of the ball will be better and deeper this year. They have a new QB but I'm pretty sure who ever gets the starting spot will be very good. Our receivers are stellar. Running back....big question there....along with linebackers....I think the DB's will be solid. Looking forward to a great year!

OldCatProf...it's not going to work. You're not going to get me to look up prescient on dictionary.com.

I'm OK. See you in a month.

OMGosh! Practice starts Monday.....The question is as always....How good will Linfield be this year?

They'll be fine

If Linfield's line on both sides of the ball is going to be "better and deeper" this year, then I am already looking for a special season.

Thanks badgerwarhawk One of the 'cats finest 'hawks are so fortunate having him on staff.

The job he did with a bunch of freshman OL men last year was really remarkable.  Prior to the season many of us thought it was going to be a big problem but it turned out a big asset.  And everyone of them is back and will be for three more years.
