Hmph.
Nope.
Nothing here.

Best in the last week!   (Laughing my Hind End off  )

I think the only bikers attending a Linfield game are wine tasting hipsters.....who played kickball when they were younger.

Totally mixing up your crowds there, Mcat.

Hipsters ride fixed-gear bikes without helmets around downtown Portland, still play kickball, drink Pabst to be cool, and very few have ever heard of McMinnville.

The Cycle Oregon folks ride their $3k Cannondales towards McMinnville on the weekend, taste wine along the way (in Spandex), and use the verb 'antiquing'.  

8)

I seem to have been misunderstood.  I was referring to the 50-60ish hipsters who can no longer play kickball but enjoy riding through the wine country on their fancy motorcycle's while wearing their special leather trimmed riding outfits that they bust out on the weekends....

Working in downtown Portland, I have a very different idea of 'hipsters'. What you describe sounds like a Viva Viagra commercial. More like baby boomers with broken hip -sters. 

D-train has partied with us as several Cat-Lute games.  D chime in for me bro. 

Pirate fans - I will say that these Linfield guys are actually pretty down-to-earth and welcoming in person. Of course my Lutes haven't been much of a threat lately...

I got a good laugh out of the "viva viagra" comment- you do see a lot of those types around, all jacked up on pinot and geared out in their newest Orvis purchase.

Anyone been to practice this week or plan on going? I am curious as to what you might have seen, or not seen.....PM if you have any idea!

[criswyly]

Yes! There are kids around....Bluenote, GHC, Wildcat11, D.O.C., TopCat, Coco, Swede, etc....the usual suspects....

...so, is your body all covered with tattoos and piercings like everybody else in the coffee shops? And I assume you're riding your Vespa Scooter around to the thrift stores or dive bars for a PBR or a slice of pizza.... with your sketchpad or laptop in hand.

"Orvis? I haven't pretended to fly fish in years."

I'll be able to come up for the Homecoming flaying of the ghost Pirates so any hints you Oregonians can give me would help to plan.

Is the forecast for temperatures below 51? My metal piercings tend to irritate the skin at that temperature, or below, especially the ones on my knees and scalp above the ears.

Can anyone suggest where I can rent an Airnimal bike to cruise through campus on my way to The Moon during halftime?


                                                           DEFENSE!

Nah - I work downtown, but don't live here. Trade those tattoos, piercings, dive bars, and the Vespa for a blazer & slacks, family SUV, I-5 commute, etc.

Small gripe....not sure how Taylor Summers wasn't the NWC defensive player of the week again or didn't make d3football.com's team of the week in recording 4 sacks vs Menlo.  3 of those were against a returning 1st team All-NWC tackle.  Summers dominated that guy.

The stock answer applies.

That's why I stared that post with "small gripe" and not "screaming rant".

I accidentally deleted the wrong post, meant to delete mine and start over. Sorry DOC.

Linfield did nominate Birkhofer, so I think that assessment is unfair.

Agreed...that's a pretty low shot at a guy who busts his tail for the program.

[D O.C.]

I stand corrected and withdraw.
