Volleyball swept Pacific and Linfield, drastically improving to 4-4 in conference and No. 5 overall.Football. 0-48. Whitworth. Oh, umm … hang on … we have a caller …
“Hello?”
Caller: “Hey, The Collegian, this is John from Portland. Long-time reader, first-time caller here: I gotta say, the B-Cats have shown a few moments of coherence this season, particularly in the run-game. Also, in the Whitworth game Rivera threw for over 100 and rushed for God knows how much. Is aerial defensive coverage the last key for us to get a win? Or do the needless turnovers on the other side of the ball warrant a personnel overhaul we just don’t have the recruiting prowess to pull off?”“Beats me, John. Thanks for calling, but I don’t know how you did this and I’m going to have to ask that you don’t do it again.” Click!
