Whitewater vs Linfield coming up. Again. Wish I could find the history between these two, besides last year comeback win for the Warhawks.

Wisconsin-Whitewater, Linfield, and Mt. Union made the D3 semis? Man, who would have ever guessed that before the season started?

If the game was in McMinnville, I'd go (my buddy lives down the street, we could get drunk and walk, or keep somewhat sober and take his boys).

Linfield just completed their 59th consecutive winning season (all-division record). Watch out for the Wildcats, since they've got the newsworthy inspiration -- a couple of weeks ago, one of the players walked across the street to 7-11 to get some snacks after the game, and a crazy (illegal) Mexican kid went nuts and walked up and stabbed him to death... so they've been rallying behind that, obviously.

Go Cats. Let's bring multiple NCAA championships to Oregon.

So, you're saying that the 3 or so teams out of hundreds that absolutely dominate D3 might be...

bending the rules?

Damn, that never occurred to me.

Although, if I was a kid and considering D3, there would be much worse placed to end up than McMinnville. Great little town (~40K these days, I think).

Great baseball program, too (although I thought I heard World Series MVP Scott Brosius might be leaving).

How many D3 schools have won a baseball and football championship in rapid succession?

Which in case you were wondering, he fled the scene, then returned, which led to him being ventilated by the cops.

But as a general rule, McMinnville is a pretty darned crime-free place.

Southern Oregon University is in the NAIA Final, as well.
