The Nebraska fans are having a meltdown over this hire. Not a high profile hire by any means but I'm sure Mike Riley will do a good job with better resources at his disposal.

So, does Jay Locey get consideration for the Oregon State job?

Here's one Husker fan who's not getting all apoplectic over it!

My initial thoughts were:

I really think I like the Mike Riley hire.

1. Because it's not Beliema! (Thank goodness that was a rumor!)
2. I like that's it's outside of the box without being crazy.
3. He's won at a place that's really hard to win at.
4. He seems like a really quality guy. Which matters at Nebraska.

Then I heard this from a good friend, OSU fan and hs coach in Oregon on Riley:

Unbelievable man.  Invests deeply in his players, runs a pro-style offense but is open to many offensive philosophies.  Even though they had a losing season this year, folks here love him...OSU is in the 70's with their facilities.  It'll be really interesting to see what he does with backing, facilities & passion for the program.  It's a huge step for him, but he did coach the San Diego Chargers & is a professional football type of guy.  He knows what he's doing & he's a genuine article.  I hate this for OSU.  Last time he left we hired Dennis Erickson.  So we will see..."

I also like the Linfield connection. Coincidence that the AD who hired him was a small college guy himself, and knows how significant those years at Linfield were?

Thoughts on the hire from the NWC illuminati?

My first thought is whether they would try Beau Baldwin.  NW guy that has had great success and would likely stick around for awhile if he had success at OSU. With the debacle that Leach has been at WSU you wonder if they are less likely to try a big name splash again just for the sake of having a big name splash.  Maybe take a harder look at a guy that has done well recruiting NW & NorCal.

Just move Jay Locey and his DIII championship up.

Guys, the latest forecast seems to look like the rain may hold off until 2 - 3 time frame which may not effect the game at all.  I am hoping so since I am not a fan of watching games in the rain when I don't have a child playing in it.

Desertcat, I am not sure where you are staying, but if you are in the Widener area Friday during HH time which is 4 - 6, find your way to my hangout, Iron Hill Brewery, a microbrew house, in Media, Pa.  The beer is top notch and the food isn't bad either.  If you decide to come, send me a PM and I will look for you.  If not have a great stay in Pa and good luck tomorrow.

ADvantage Catdome Game 12 Preview: National Quarterfinals, Linfield (10-1) at Widener (12-0)

[gren]

Boy I hope the picture for the stream on Saturday is better than the test picture I poped up on the Widener site, it looked like the streams from yesteryear. Well done RC.

[D O.C.]

dc1...you going to stay at Dover Downs? You know I would. The special Treasure Island numbers are available PM. Seems a shame to be so close to the Wesley game and not be able to see it too.

'CATS all weekend.

Then you can change the oil and get the bus on I 76 to the capitol and cruise through State College on your way to I 80. Holy Toledo! Road turns to I 90 in Toledo and then back to 80! Ah well, 90 will get you to near that snow field Whitewater.

[macVille]

Gren, I watched 30mins.or so of last weekends game and stream was not good.I would rate at par or just below par to linfields which is not good.
Such a big game for my family to watch and cheer...might be guessing to who is making the big plays...cant make out numbs..
go cats
