Weekend Wrap/Coach Rombach makes an Omelet

Typically today would be a Wildcat game wrap from this past Saturday but since the 'Cats had the Bye Week, WC11 had to figure out what to put in this slot. Wasn't too sure what to do, but I figure that since it's Monday morning, and most of you are trying to get motivated to tackle the week old Wildcat11 would give you a video caffeine boost. Why not open up the Catdomealumni video vault and bust out a clip of Linfield's Linebacker Coach, Phil Rombach, making an omelet by breaking open an egg in the form of a quarterback? Coach Rombach was an intense player and he's an intense coach. Boom! Goes the Dynamite.


NWC Weekend Wrap up. (Again, probably won't do this often but with the Bye....why not?)

Willamette - 42 Southern Oregon - 24: Yeah, just about what I expected. Southern Oregon is what Southern Oregon is: Great individual talent all over the field but not a discipline bone to be found. 15 penalties for 151 yards, 3 interceptions, 2 lost fumbles, and a 26'ish year-old first year defensive coordinator against the Fly and you might as well stayed home and dry from the rain. If Willamette didn't cough up the rock 4 times themselves it would have been worse. Willamette is a very good ball club.

PLU - 35 CLU - 21: Yeah, colored me shocked on this one. However, I did write in my weekly picks that CLU might be suffering from a "big win hangover" and it looks like CLU was coming down off a 5 day bender as the Lutes jumped CLU from the start and put them away in the 2nd half. The line of the day came from Willamette play-by-play man Mike Allegre when he read this score while I was watching the WU/SOU game on-line: "Looks like CLU's 15 minutes of fame is up". Ouch. PLU had 490 yards of total offense and rushed for 203. The NWC better take note on PLU this season.

Redlands - 23, Whitworth - 7: In two games the Rats have played good competition Whitworth has 14 total points. Their defense has been pretty solid but the Rats offense is on life support. The Rats continue to use two quarterbacks and I'm from the school of thinking that if you have two quarterback, you actually have none.

L&C - 63, Pomona Pitzer - 38: If there wasn't 500 people at Palentine Hill to witness this I may not believe that the Pios rushed for 549 yards. I mean, are you kidding me? Talk about an undressing. Moses himself couldn't have created holes as big as the L&C offense to rush for that many yards. Holy smokes.

CMS - 37, Pacific - 9: To be expected. Pacific is a 1st year (again) program and this is what happens. You take your licks and they are going to for the remainder of the season. They will gain experience and be an improved team next season. World Beaters? no. Good? no. But this is a process.
