DT 48...... Not sure where you picked up that I was against Carney? ( I have a student Athlete at Linfield, I don't think that would be a very good Idea!) I think he has done a great job!
     I could draw this out & put you all to sleep, so I will just say I've never said the athletic Dept needs to pay, give back the seats or anything else.
      I would like to have a Linfield pep Band back, pure and simple. I haven't asked anyone to put $ where their mouth is. I have agreed to meet with pdawg, abby, bluenote and any one else who would like to see this happen. As LBC has said, E-mails wont get it done, so, the meeting to get a plan. If we can make this work, GREAT! If not, no big deal as some have said.

Checkout page 392 I took the blame for something you never said or implied.

Sorry Tux...it was swede that wrote:

...providing the AD works with the pep band and not against it. I think It's pretty obvious they just don't want the pep band in the catdome regardless of where they sit.

That is the quote I was referring to...and I realize this wasn't an attemp to badmouth Carney, I'm just wondering if he's ever said he didn't want it back...

You be at the elks next year before one of the playoff games and I'll buy you a drink also.

Money for the pep band can come from ASLC, as Abby mentioned, they are a sanctioned ASLC club (Pat, ASLC stands for Associated Students of Linfield College). 

Abby- I suggest you make up a proposal asking ASLC for some more $$, trust me, they have it, donated to send the cheerleaders to Virginia in 2004, they support football supporters.  They really like a well written proposal detailing how it would benefit Linfield students to have a good pep band.  Contact me if you need suggestions. 

Also, if you really want to make this happen, tap into the cheerleaders.  You will work with them a lot (I'm sure you've noticed during basketball season).  If you get them on your side you have support from 15 more students that go to almost every game, plus two Linfield staff members- the coach and Dan Fergueson the cheerleading advisor who is also the advisor for ASLC.  Now, the cheerleaders like the canned music (not the quality of it, but the consistancy) because they can use it to practice for sideline dances and the songs are a little more upbeat.  If you are able to coordinate with them on timeouts so that they can still dance and stunt (as oppossed to not knowing when the band will play, what they will play, trying to cheer over the music, doing dances to slow paced songs, or standing there feeling like idiots because nobody figured out what was going on), then you'll win them over.  The fight song was SO much better coming from the band.

LBC- on a side note, I'm a week into my busy season, putting in 60 hours a week to, ahem, "count beans," is a big change from my Linfield days.

Mount Union has had a pep band at every game of theirs I have been to.

Pat
I stand corrected. They also have a marching band don't they?

[Tuxguy]

Thanks R&P,
                Interesting..........

                 The number 265/1720.....is that the projected pick 265? and are there 1720 total picks in the draft?

                  I have a good feeling about the Hula Bowl. Brett will have a great day! It's Hawaii at least.

                        BRING BACK THE BAND!

Not sure what the numbers mean either. I just wish him the best. Hawaii! No kidding, great place to be this time of the year. Actually, any time of the year!

BRING BACK THE BAND!

Linfield Video of the Week!!!!

Here is this weeks link to the Linfield video clip of the week:

2005 Highlight Video Opening Clip

GREAT CLIP, Wildcat 11.  I saw a few UWW players get burned for some beautiful touchdown passes from Brett.  Must mean that there is some tape of the game out there.  I am working on one connection to get a copy so hopefully that works out. 

[Olinemom]

I was walking around checking out the UNLV stadium on the East side when I spotted Casey Allen doing the same thing. He got to spend since Wednesday around all the happenings. It seems the Aztec Bowl was kind of a lonely affair. Got to meet Grandpa and Grandma Allen and chat as the 4th quarter dragged on. By then the cold wind was ricocheting all around the stadium.
Had the pleasure of meeting  #3's sister too.

Today was a good day here The winds that you had earlier finally left here today as well.  And Marcus Washington, from BC who played in the Aztec Bowl with Casey Allen brought me his autograph like the good young man he is.  So now, my girls left today with the picture for Brett to sign out in Hawaii.  And the Olinemom will be a Happy person if and when she gets that autograph!! Of course, she'd be happier if I were to be in Hawaii instead of teaching this class, but you can't have everything and I do get to see Les Mis on Wednesday in DC and go to a fancy French restaurant with 1/2 of the football team--those brave enough to take my class!!

[Olinemom]

I was hoping that I can get some infor from the Linfield faithful about whether it is possible to buy a copy of the Linfield/Whitewater game.  There were replays on the scoreboard during the game so it does appear that a tape of some kind was being made.  WW has a local cable broadcast that the communication students do that goes out to the campus and town and I know there are other schools that do similar broadcast so I was just checking.  It may be just the programs game tape but I still would like to buy a copy.  I e-mailed the sports info director but got no answer and don't want to bug the head coach unless necessary so thought I would ask all of you as my next step.  Thanks for the help.

Olinemom, check your e-mail!  Sent you a note.

Thanks but the stupid e-mail is on the fritz at the moment.  There are 43 messages in the box that I can't get to and it's driving me nuts.  I am going to have to break down and call Adelphia and scream!!!!!  Try my Yahoo address:  bcbaseballmom@yahoo.com  Maybe that one will work   Sigh!

Bretts stats
4-10 28 yards 2 int 1 fumble 2 sacks
rushing 2 for a net -15 yards

Other three west QB's a combined 7-26 51 yards 0 int. 0 fumble 2 sacks
rushing 6 for a net -13 yards.

Now lets forget about that one and bring on the Hula Bowl

tux: 265/1720 probably means that Elliott is that evaluator's 265th best prospect out of 1720 prospects considered. The number of picks in this draft will be 32 (32 teams in the League) times 7 (7 picks per team) plus any supplemental or compensatory picks (approximately zero to 15) minus any picks forfeited by inappropriate action (approximately zero to 5) - for a rough total of about 235.

Hopefully Brett will fair better at Hula Bowl time and his stock will go up.

What's your take on the DE position for the cats next year? I think Soo will be back (if he chooses) along with Denny but losing Tom and Ace has to hurt.

Last year we were talking about the LB's  perhaps being a weak spot, this year it looks strong. I can see 5 LB's starting just about anywhere in the conf. What do you think the possibility of one of those LB's changing over to a DE position is?
freshman but I've heard Bubba Lemon is considering LC and if dad has his way that's a done deal.
