MBB: Northwest Conference

[nwhoops1903]

Any idea why Wiser isn't playing for Linfield?  He didn't play against Immaculata on Tuesday and didn't again today against Stevens Point.

No one from Linfield posts here regularly that I can think of so hard to say.   Wiser played full minutes in their previous game but recap of Immaculata says he was injured for that game (and vs Point).

Radio said it was due to injury (ankle).

New poll out and Whitworth #4!!!  I am sure there is a big target on Pirates back in the NWC.

We have a basketball team?  Only 239 days until Linfield opens up football fall camp!

Not only are we #4 now, but we picked up 2 more first place votes.  Looks like someone else is showing us a little love.

On another note:  Vegas was a blast, didnt come home rich though.  Got to see both games, and did meet Pat C and Dave M from the D3Hoops crew...nice guys. Interesting venue...holds 4,500 or so, but only had 100+ there!  Everything said echoed alot - just ask Noah R!

Good to see Nakamura, Sellereit, Willemsen, and Norton again - those guys were a riot.

A good family representation was there too for many of the players, that was nice to see too.

Really looking forward to the rest of the season - Go Bucs !

You are unreal.  This is a basketball board.  Be supportive of the athletes that support the football team.

(509),

I went to most of their home stands last year...hell of a program.  I know how big of a hoop junkie you are so congrats on your Rats #4 ranking so far.  Looking forward to talking Tullyball back on the football board this summer/fall.

You're lucky I'm smarter than the Linfield men's basketball team...it'll be some stimulating conversation

The Internet is a beautiful thing. You can pretend to be whoever you want...unless of course you register your d3boards profile with your school email.

*cough*playball*cough*

In the words of Keyshawn Johnson...C'mon Man!!

Speaking of the baseball team. I got a buddy who played their. Good guy. I guess what they say about Linfield athletes isn't true...

[playball]

I don't need to hide behind anything.  I don't have an issue owning up to anything I say on here.  What I do have an issue with is people who are Linfield affiliated bad mouthing our team.  I understand we won't win over every person, but really?  You guys should grow up.

[(509)Rat]

Well of course not now. What were you going to do delete your account? Wouldn't change your post. But complaining about support to a person who does more towards gaining recognition for Linfield in general makes you sound like a WNBA player talking about how the womens game is just as entertaining and people should come watch.

It's really simple. Put a better product on the court and you'll get as much support as Whitworth. Then you too can fly to every game further than a 2 hour drive. Yes, our bball team rides a bus once the entire season.

O.K....my intent wasn't to bad mouth the basketball team.  I was just playing into the stereotype that has long existed on this board that Linfield posters only care about their football team.  That's all that I was doing in that post was playing into that and having a little fun.

I support everything Linfield.  Go 'Cats.


(509)...thanks for the words...you're a pretty good guy....for a Rat.

"I think you're asking a bit much if you want the Wildcats competing for a title every year."

Let me keep this alive....
9 out of 10 NWC titles at one point  in middle ages history - and the tenth one was taken away by the WILLAMETTE athletic director pressing for a sanction of all LINFIELD teams because of a freshman transcript 'problem'.

I do not know Lary Doty.  I know of the great work he did as a player.

I did know Ted Wilson, Doty's coach.

In the early 1990's I met a 5th grade kid that was a quiet, diligent student. He was small, but showed a good deal of heart when I saw him play in a Los Angeles City flag football tournament.  I lost track of him.
7 years later I got interested in high school basketball and Corey showed up as a player on the #1 ranked L.A. City team.  I talked to him after a game once and he was still a good guy.
I thought "LINFIELD material!"  
I checked around and found out that he had been 2nd team All-City defensive back the previous two years, was one of the fastest guys in the City at 200m and here he was at 5'9, 180 on the basketball team.
His Fremont High played perennial nationally ranked Crenshaw High for the City Championship and Corey came off the bench for 20 something points in a losing cause.

I talked to Corey's Grandma. I talked to admissions at LINFIELD. I talked to the lady (name skips me) who handles minorities at LINFIELD. I communicated with Doty. I borrowed a VHS of the L.A. City Final and sent it to him.

June passed.
August passed.
School started.  
Corey enrolled in local JC.

At homecoming I asked around about Doty, someone pointed and said, "He's right there."
I introduced myself.
I asked if he received my tape.
"Yeah."
(pause...pause...pause)
"Well?"
"We thought he was too good for us."
I turned heel.

Would I cheer at a national playoff game? Yes.

Tenure. Tenure. Tenure.

Big weekend for the NWC! I love this time of year! Go Loggers! Tough tripp to Walla Walla and Spokane.
