Conference Play This Week

The Linfield Wildcats open their Northwest Conference schedule with a road game in Salem against Willamette. The two teams have competed for the conference championship for the past 3 years with the Wildcats taking the crown the past two seasons.

Unfortunately there is no video feed available so we'll be following it using our theater of the mind!

Viva Las Vegas!

Made it in to Las Vegas this morning for the UH-UNLV game.
Checked in and had a nice breakfast with SteveM and Rasu Begasu.

After some downtime the same trio met up for dinner at the buffet at Golden Nugget.

Downtown was hoppin' with Hawaii fans out in force at all the popular hotels: The Cal, Main Street and the Nugget. I didn't make it to the Fremont but it was probably the same.

Wildcats Win Season Opener

It's a big day as the Wildcats take the field for the first time this season against Cal Lutheran in McMinnville.

Linfield ended the Kingsmens' season in the first round of the playoffs last November and also avenged their season opening loss from last season to Cal Lu in Thousand Oaks.

Brent gets his first ever start for Linfield today which really kicks up the excitement level. He'll be playing DE today and for his Senior year has decided to switch to #92 in honor of his brother who wore that number at Eastern Oregon for 4 years.

One hour prior to that game the Warriors kickoff their first road game this season at Husky Stadium in Seattle. We're looking forward to that to see if these Warriors are really going to be able to make some big things happen this year.

_________________________________________

Linfield survived an opening drive TD by CLU to win their first game, 24-14.

First-time starting QB Mickey Inns shook off some opening jitters to manage the win, mostly by handing off to RB Josh Hill and Hill's replacement Stephen Nasca.

Brent did start the game and rotated snaps with 4 other DE's. He played well and I'll update his stats when they become available.
