[footballfan413]

Footballfan413, great to hear from you! Hope all is well, I have always enjoyed your input and support of Brett and the Cats. Hope we can get together again this year, with maybe a different out come ofcourse. Take care.........

             GO WILDCATS....LEAVE NO DOUBT '06

Thanks, Tuxguy!  I appreciate it!  I see you have made it through Prom season alive and well !!    How could I not support Brett and the Cats!!  They and the Warhawks provided us all with one of the best football games ever played and certainly the best one I have ever witnessed!   I will never forget it!  As far as I am concerned, may the Cats win every game they play in '06 except for the one they play against UWW!!!!!  Getting together would be great, maybe this year you can come to the PERK!!! Speaking of support, how is the "Bring Back The Band," campaign going?  I have money invested in that one!!!!   Take care!

Nice rightup on George Carter on the Fever website. I had no idea he inked a contract with a CFL team but was only with them a short time and signed on with Spokane of the AFL2 and then was traded. Anyway check out the Fever's website. Last week George had 8 receptionds for over a hundred yards and three scores.

Thanks SWEDE:

"Not far behind Quincy is George "please don't call me a possession receiver" Carter, a rookie from Linfield College in Oregon. Carter has caught 13 passes for 195 yards and a team leading 13.9 yards per catch. "George has some speed, some real speed," said Whitsett. "You don't expect it when you see him, but the kid is a sub 4.5 40 guy and will get by some very fast defensive backs that you don't expect him to get by." Rounding out the rest of the talented receiving core are Thomas Ford, Jarvis Dunn, and Kevin Heard. "Kevin is your savvy veteran that understands the angles of the game," says Whitsett. "Thomas Ford is still learning the receiver position, but he is very good after the catch when he can become a runner."

So cool reading about Linfield Wildcats doing well.

Makes me teary eyed for the days when Carter's favorite pattern was "run at full speed straight ahead and burn any db in d3". Worked every time!

Spirit....your comment on Carter reminded me of the banter in the box at the Occidental 2004 playoff game.   Linfield received the opening kick and on the first play from scrimmage, Oxy jammed the box with eight guys, leaving one on one coverage on the edges.    Brett Elliott, seeing the obvious, audibled, took a three step drop and lofted a pass over the top to Carter who had no trouble taking the pass home for a TD.   The memorable comment, "We've played less than a minute and it is already time for Plan B".....

Interesting few days here on the board.....

And the thought that Casey Allen's "character" might rub off on Onterrio Smith.    Several years ago, I used to encounter Blazer fans who thought that Rasheed Wallace was maturing because his technical fouls were down....or that maybe Isaiah Rider was maturing because he hadn't said on done anything stupid for a month or so.    It seems to be asking a lot of an environmental studies major like Casey to do what psychiatrists and other professionals haven't been able to do.......reform reprobate teammates.

Haven't you ever heard the word "facetious"? I don't think any one here was ACTUALLY serious about Onterrio Smith suddenly becoming an upstanding citizen because he's hanging around Casey Allen. Sure. In an ideal world, it would be great if that happened but I don't think anyone here was EXPECTING it to happen or even BELIEVING it would happen.

As for the Blazers fans. Well, they have had unrealistic expectations for a long, long time.

"We've played less than a minute and it is already time for Plan B".....

Ah yes. Such fond memories.

I love sports quotes like that. My all time favorite (can't remember who said it, though) was when a coach was asked about the execution of his offense, he said, "I think that would be a good idea."

Fa Natic.... before you get too far on your high horse, how about "do you know what an emoticon is"?      Yup,  that little row of faces above the posting area.   Cam cat's post on the Smith bit lacked emoticons...therefore it would appear to be a serious post.   

It isn't like the emoticons are inaccessible.....

(BTW, the answer to your question on execution....John McKay, when he coached the expansion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who went 0-14 in 1976 and started the 1977 season 0-12)

Check out the Winnipeg Blue Bomber website.....guess who Winnipeg signed as a receiver......

Andrae Thurman from Southern Oregon.

Small world, isn't it??

He played in the NFL for a bit, didn't he? I was just watching the highlights of the 2003 sou game when he ran back a kickoff for a td- he looks to be in fast-forward while everyone else if going sloooooooow.

Oregoian headline reads......"Injuries can't derail Linfield's softball team"

Good luck to the Lady Cats today as they take on Muskingum College.

The Lady Cats limp into the National Tourny with an infield playing in different positions. They lost their 2nd and 3rd baseman in the regionals but others have stepped up big time.

They lost  their first game 8-6 and then went on to win 6 in a row to claim the Regional Title. Way to Go!!!

                           GO     WILDCATS

Winnipeg seems to alway keep an eye out for players from "smaller" schools - maybe part of their program - I beleive that their head coach for a few years was the dad of one of Occidental's QB's (PaoPao).

[Wildcat'64]

Tux,
This softball team reminds me of the basketball team that went to the Nationals.  Remember when the entire first team misbehaved on a road trip...Coach Wilson removed them all from the team...picked up some Intermural players and JV members.....no one game them a chance to even win the conference.....they not only won the conference they went all the way to the National tourney.

The Lady Wildcats start out as the underdogs but the heart and will is clearly there.....never can tell what will happen over the next few days.

Go Ladies!!!!

64.......I remember it well, was just a young boy at the time though.  If I remember right they were misbeahaving in your fine state.

Ted also got a few very good football players. A fun group to watch play Ball!
