The University of Puget Sound and Pacific Lutheran University are attempting to put their annual rivarly game (battle for the Totem Pole Trophy) in the Tacoma Dome where it used to be played. 

That would be a nice venue.....hope they can pull if off.

I played in the first two at the T-Dome when the rivalry was resumed.  If they can draw a good crowd that would be great.  If it's only going to be 4-5k though it would seem empty and they might be better continuing at the current stadiums.

Agreed.  But it's hard to believe that the same amount of fans that have been showing up to Sparks or UPS would show up the Tacoma Dome.  the game never had less than 8000 people when it was in the T-Dome.  That's awesome that you played in the game in that atmosphere.  It would be wonderful to get that back.  Plus than the schools could actually make some money from the game and get in the news a little bit. 

not to mention it certainly would not hurt recruiting. 

now "I will leave you tikets at the door, go ahead a sit where ever it doesn't matter"
then "We will leave you tickets at gate D1, the recruits will get a special badge to come down on the field, you might want to bring ear plugs..." 

For any other high school football nerds like me the games at the Tacoma Dome have been great in the last couple of years since they put in the new turf.  Not like it used to be... all the games are on TV and radio now and thousands of people show up. 

This game is a long time coming...

I remember Linfield playing PLU in the Tacoma Dome.....it was in the late '80s or early '90s. Fun venue. It was a great game with PLU coming back in the last couple minutes to tie the game....the game ended in a tie if I recall it right....something like 20-20. It was when PLU had that really shifty QB....can't remember his name....somebody will recall him though......we couldn't stop him on that last drive....he scrambled like crazy and PLU had some very talented skill people if I recall right. Did PLU go on to win the title that year?

'93 was a 20-20 tie in the T-Dome; Marc Weekly was PLU's QB; yes the Lutes won it all that year - Linfield lost to Central Washington in the playoffs.

That game was our only visit to the Tacoma Dome, and we made a weekend of it. It was a  great venue.

Hey, in looking at the names of the PLU recruits, does anyone know if Taylor Angevine is related to Ty Angevine?

ah yes, thanks for those details d-train....I went to that Title game that year, I believe it was played at Civic Stadium in Portland.... Linfield had played for the title a year before against Findlay of Ohio in the same venue........can't forget the fake QB sneak when Weekly took the snap pretended to dive into the line and then jumped back and threw a TD pass...classic PLU.

TrashCan's email address is "thyme4java@onlinenw.com" 

"onlinenw.com" is a McMinnville company that provides internet, dsl, etc. Oneline Northwest.

so this latest troll is from within...sad.

[D O.C.]

Whatever....I dinged him on his first post and that's that.

I dunno what's bad about from within, UMHBincatland was just fine and so is Bennie.

The burr in the saddle is just fine for motivation. Not coming through in a big game is a fact. Let's just do it this season.

What is a "recordo?" 

[raiderguy]

What is a "recordo?" 

My limited knowledge of the subject would suggest "Recordo" is "cutesy" for record. However my limited education came from a football factory.

...DOC smart. Me not trollip ...me motivzate! Linfeet must get higher in Nwc and more...me help!

[Bluenote]

...well, Linfield has a pretty tough schedule the 1st couple months but I'm predicting a 9-0 season heading into the playoffs. We don't play Western Oregon University anymore so that is good.
