Quote from: wildcat11 on November 16, 2025, 02:43:46 PMFeel like the 'Cats are playing the best ball in the NWC to end the year but have ton of areas to address in the offseason.  That said, the 2026 Linfield squad has a chance to be pretty good if they can make those improvements.

Congrats to the Rats. Well earned NWC title and good luck in the playoffs.

If Chapman can't beat this Whitworth team (when was the last time a SCIAC team beat an NWC program in the playoffs?), then honestly the whole league should just be banned from post-season play. This is probably as "down" of a year in the NWC as they are going to see...

Quote from: MonroviaCat on October 18, 2025, 07:31:16 PMYup- this might be the weakest 'Cat team in the D3-era.

This Whitworth team is worse than the previous 3-4 versions (the playoff teams). Your assessment is probably not far off.

Nah,  just had to address wildcat11's blasphemy 

Carry on...

He beat Oxy Collins with only one functioning ankle in the playoffs

WW, QB is the best I have seen on the West Coast in the last 5+ years. Watched the fourth quarter of the LF game and Chapman game. He has skills, throws on the run, checks down, moves well surprise he ended up in D3.

Best QB Whitworth has ever had and the best non-Linfield QB in the NWC since Chad Johnson at PLU (97-2000).  The NWC should be happy he's a one and done.

I'd like a time traveling machine to see Joel Clark in this offense (instead of Tully's), before I completely agree with this statement.

Man this is painful, because I think the UR season is over...as far as the playoffs go...

Our little out-of-the-way conference gets an automatic bid. That's it. Anyone who thinks the SCIAC will get two teams in the playoffs hasn't been around very long.

Sorry, UR. (Not really.)

OxyBob

I know you're becoming a bigger curmudgeon by the day...but UR has a very real shot at an at large if Linfield wins the NWC. Which, I hate to admit, looks likely with how Whitworth has played this season

That's the MLS stadium. St. Thomas' stadium is definitely not impressive

October 19, 2019: Linfield beats Willamette 96-7, setting a record for most lopsided victory in the history of the series

The Black and White jersey's are terrible and do not reflect the honored tradition of Linfield football.....and that was the consensus of everyone sitting around me in the stadium.  Here's hoping the staff is monitoring these Boards and return to the Linfield tradition!

i didn't hate them.  And if it helps them score 77 points they can wear Willamette jerseys for all I care....

Nobody wearing Willamette jerseys will be scoring 77 points any time soon...

Chapman wins. Wish I could have caught the game. Hopefully it's archived and I can watch it some time in the next few days.

In other news...The local chapter of the Linfield Wildcat Football Fan Club, just opened on campus at the University of Redlands.

Yeah neither Linfield nor Whitworth will have a pool C worthy resume, and that's assuming that the loser of that game doesn't drop another one in conference.

68-30 was the final

Well, it's early but Pios D stuffs the Rats offense on the first possession and then scores on a big play to take a 6-0 (PAT was not good) lead

Rats responds quickly with a TD on a 17 second drive--PAT is good.  Rats 7-Pios 6

3rd drive took em 2 seconds

So the misinformed announcers for the Linfield game somehow got ahold of the Chapman-Whitworth game and announced them as the Pios/Rat game with the Pios winning .......

The scoreboard page on d3football had it as a 44-41 win for the Pios for a bit. Then it updated

Whitworth up 35-6. 3 min left in the first quarter

Have had 3 scoring drives under 20 seconds. 2 that took less than 5 seconds
