FB: Northwest Conference

We should look at hiring someone like Kevin Guy, and demote Falc to OC.

At least this week is a winnable game, given the Lutes offense has gone off a cliff. Hopefully the Homecoming crowd can give us a boost.

I have more or less zero knowledge of the pacific program (aside from watching them play Linfield and other teams) but given that "Falk" is currently working as the OC (and head coach), he might might not be the guy you want to demote to just offensive coordinator.  Pacific's offense is historically bad this year. 

Regarding PLU--they definitely have a QB problem. I think they've had 3 different starters this year and the guy that started week 1 and the most recent games is a Freshman who doesn't seem to make good decisions as evidenced by the 8 picks in 3 games.  I'm sure there are other factors that contribute to that stat but from what I've seen so far...he's not ready to run the offense (and what Freshman really would be?).  Still, I like PLU to win that match over Pacific.

Well, 'Cats continue to look great one minute and then just bad the next.  First half, they dominated Whitworth.  Second half, they couldn't do much right to save their own lives.  Rats out-coached them for most of the second half but then gifted the 'Cats some turnovers that Linfield really needed to secure the win.

'Cats at Lewis and Clark should be the conference title game in two weeks.

Yeah, great first half by the 'Cats and then it was hold on for dear life in the 2nd. That should have been a lopsided game, and it was evident that Linfield is the more talented squad, but this is the 2nd week in a row where the Wildcat offense leaves the output in the locker room at half. It's a concerning trend. The 'Cats defense did a great job overall with getting pressure, continue to be a good tackling team, and took away the Rats rushing attack.

Our special teams continue to mystify me. Not executing PAT's and bad coverage. I'm just thankful our kicker can limit the returns on KO or I'm sure other teams would have housed a couple on us by now. 2nd year a row with suspect play on special teams.

Not sure what happened with the QB deal in the Fox/L&C game. Was GFU's starter benched at half or injured? Regardless, the Pios have a damn good offense and it will make for a dangerous game in 2 weeks in Portland.

And that was Lewis and Clarks QB2 that played the entire game today.

Kept it close with the Lutes, and now going into our rivalry game with Willamette, this may be our only chance left to win a game this year. Wake me up when it's basketball season...

I like the Boxers to pull it out this weekend. That program needs a new HC. I mean, the DC (Bates) came from Fox and was really well liked. Maybe that should be the guy but something has to change or it's going to be more of the same in Forest Grove.

I will say that the NWC isn't same without Willamette being viable. When the Bearcats are a conference title contender, it makes the NWC feel much more competitive but that administration doesn't give a rip about athletics anymore.

That's why I want to hire someone from Arena Football, any suggestions on who we can poach with a budget of $80K?

That's probably double what most arena HC's make!

I was thinking a current.
