My 15 year old daughter was with me and called the music that game ops uses a "divorced dad" playlist.

Hahah! This definitely creates a mental image.

Also, she is 15? Wow!

16 in a few days. Great kid and has really enjoyed going to games this season.

Time flies.

Enjoy it while you can, RC. My daughter who you met is a 19 year old sophomore in college now. She balled out playing HS hoops in San Diego, but is a normal college student now and as happy as a clam.

Well, 'Cats got the job done.  Extended the streak to an amazing 70-years.  Shut-out PLU.

Still--if they play the way they did yesterday--they may see themselves on the losing end of the game against Lewis and Clark next week and will find themselves missing the play-offs for a second year in a row.

Things to fix:
1.  Untimely and stupid penalties.  Hitting the punter twice to extend drives for PLU--can't happen against a better team.
2.  Missing wide open throws that would have been huge gains or easy TDs--QB needs to make those more than 50% of the time.
3.  Not wrapping up/tackling the ball carrier and allowing big secondary gains/QB getting passes off to wide open guys because the DBs have given up on the play.
4.  Missing short FG attempts-all season our FG/PAT team has been suspect.  They need to clean it up.

If 'Cats play clean and to their ability---they win next week, but as we've seen all season--that's a big "IF".

McNabb's misses in the first half surprised me - my view so far this season was his long throws had been greatly improved over last year.

The schedule does the Wildcats a favor (maybe): for Lewis & Clark and Whitworth, their two "must-win" games among this season's big three are back-to-back; Linfield had a week in between to get past any slippage after a big win.

But we'll see ...

Well, that didn't play out how I thought it would.  Both teams had trouble scoring which was not what I anticipated.  'Cat's Defense came-up big when it had to and the offense got enough done (despite the continued kicking game issues).  Either way, big win for the 'Cats but big loss with Johnson going down (looked like a possible shoulder dislocation). 'Cats have UPS and Willamette to tune-up with before the play-offs.  Hopefully they can get guys healthy and get some young 'Cats game time.

'Cats played the same script as Whitworth. Get a lead and grind out a win. Felt like Linfield should have put them away comfortably in that 2nd and 3rd but penalties along with our inability to kick FG's is painful. Glad we went to the back up.

Defense was masterful today. L&C has weapons but it was obvious this was their first time this year the River Otters felt a push from a defensive front.
