BB: NWC: Northwest Conference

Bucs,

That is a pretty wild move.  Whitworth has some nice facilities and we all know the college is very supportive of athletics so to see them choose a kid who just finished playing a few weeks ago seems risky.  It will be fun to follow his progress.

wow! that's a big move for the university. i say give him a chance and see what he does! young guys are hungry and will do what it takes to prove people wrong! good luck to him!

I haven't posted in a while or really much at all, but congrats to the Cats on their playoff wins.

I also needed a venue to express my displeasure with Whitworth's choice for their new head baseball coach.

http://www.whitworth.edu/Athletics/Teams/Baseball/Releases/2008/Ramsay.htm

Since Paul Merkel was named Whitworth's head coach for the 1955 season, eight of the nine Pirate head coaches have been alumnae of the school, covering 50 years of the 53-year period. That list includes Merkel (1955-71 and 1978-79), Spike Grosvenor (1972-73 and 1975-77), Bob Huber (1974), Dave Vaughn (1980-81), McQuilkin (1985-90), Randy Russell (1991-93), Rod Taylor (1994-97) and Ward (1998-2007). The only coach that did not graduate from Whitworth was Steve Brown (1982-84).

Alumnae?

Spike? Bob? Dave?  Randy?  Rod?

Those don't seem like women's names to me!

Update anyone?

I'll be OK as soon as the injections wear off. 
Thanks.

I wonder if Copenhagen (US pat.) will come into play in this Championship run like it did the last one?

Great start 'Cats!  5-1 with Dorn shutting down the 'Hawks.  Keep it rolling!

Congratulations Cats. That was a very fine job today against a good Hawk team. Way to represent the west. Hope Coach Bro' finds that Charm again to keep his boys focused and ready for the next tough match up.

Hey! It worked last time.

[Krakatoa]

Maybe it's still too early, but I'm trying to tune into the audio-cast...however - keep getting a message saying Quicktime can't play the file because it's a .mov (video) file.  Can anyone help?
