20 Years On
A good time was had by all visitors to Linfield last weekend during the annual Homecoming gathering.
I wanted to share a story with you about a Homecoming experience I enjoyed. One of my very first work-study student assistants came up to the pressbox after the football game to say hello. I immediately recognized Charlana (Saniatan) [...]

Live from Southern California
Waiting for what seems like an eternity for tonight’s 7 p.m. kickoff of the Linfield at Occidental football game. I’ve always favored day games over night contests, simply because when game day finally does roll around, you want to get to the field and get the game going, not sit around.

At 4:30, I met up with former Wildcats All-American Ryan Carlson to collaborate with him on his latest electronic masterpiece – the introduction video for the Maxwell Field display board. Ryan’s work in the [...]

Back to Work
Just returned from a three-week hiatus from the office that included a week in San Antonio at the annual College Sports Information Directors convention.
At the CoSIDA convention, Twitter was the big buzzword and consensus was that soon most colleges and universities would no longer be printing traditional media guides. Instead, sports information offices will migrating [...]

After Thoughts
Texas-Tyler 5, Linfield 4 in 8 innings
Texas-Tyler 3, Linfield 2 in 10 innings
Those are difficult scores to ponder for any Wildcats fan as we are left to consider what might have been. A ball that lands fair instead of foul, an overthrow by a UTT player, or perhaps one more favorable umpire call could have [...]
