On ‘Jeopardy’ in 2016 (recorded August, initially aired Nov. 2, 2016), professor Chuck and host Alex don’t mention Linfield. In Las Vegas and Honolulu all-star football games in 2006, Brett doesn’t have Cats on his hat (Wildcat decals on Linfield white football helmet).

 

 

Saw Jeopardy TV game show aired 11/4/2016. Linfield math professor Chuck Dunn and game show host Alex Trebek didn't mention Linfield.

One Linfielder who watched the program said, “Not even a mention of LINFIELD. A math teacher from Oregon could be Malheur."

The prof won. So, perhaps in next Jeopardy episode the prof or Alex will mention Linfield?!

Do you recall when Brett Elliott played QB in two 2006 post-season all-star football games in Jan 2006(Las Vegas, Honolulu) wearing white helmet, no Wildcat decals.

Some online posts from January 2006 regarding the Jan. 14, 2006, Las Vegas Bowl (officially the Las Vegas All-American Classic) and the Hula Bowl (Jan. 21, 2006) in Honolulu:

--“Brett did not wear helmet decals because he traded his at the Las Vegas Bowl, and then assumed he could stick on a bunch of the new decals he had for the Hula. Then he found out ESPN was not allowing that practice (if indeed they are the ones that mandated it, because it was prevalent in the Shrine game) and was stuck with the all-white helmet.”

--Brett didn't wear the Wildcat Decal at the Las Vegas Bowl either, what's with that? I tried to call Beancounter to find out if that was the case because he Tivo'd the game, but he was at the BB Game (surely you can give a few decals to some kids, but you can also have ones for yourself for the game, I don't think we're that cheap are we?)....I just got off the phone with TuxGuy and he and I both couldn't figure out why Brett was not wearing the Linfield Decal on his helmet? It looked to us that every other player on the roster was sporting their team logo/helmet and were proud of the fact and that by wearing their helmet gave respect and pride to the college they went to? We don't understand.... Both of us were somewhat mystified and somewhat bummed as to why Brett was not wearing the Linfield Decal on the helmet?...what gives!   :-\ 

--I double checked a picture of Elliott from the Las Vegas All-American game and it appears that he DID NOT have the Wildcats logo on his helmet. The shot is from the back and to the side, but I didn't see the 'cat. I really don't believe there's anything sinister about the missing logo. Although it would have been nice to have it on.

Of the 4 QBs in the Hula Bowl, Brett played the best. The commentators didn't do their homework concerning Linfield. I heard one of them say "...Linfield runs a lot of screens. The scouts here want to know if Elliott can throw the ball downfield. Their not concerned with short (16 yard) passes." Also, the slap to our #8 was not appreciated. When the WR from Central Florida caught a pass from Elliott the announcers commented that Brett didn't have a receiver like him to throw to at Linfield. 

--Why no stickers on Elliott’s helmet? You would think he would want to show off his Linfield Roots.

--He gave his out to teammates during the L-V all american game and flew stright out to Hawaii for the Hula Bowl. Don’t think he had extra declas. Would have been nice to see the decal but not the end of the world. He played well and that’s what counts the most!

--i was however disappointed to see the all white helmet of elliott. can someone please spring for some extra stickers when you send your kids to the hula bowl.

--Gotta hand it to the Hula Bowl graphic people. They had the LINFIELD WILDCAT logo plain as day there on Brett's profile in Wildcat11's video clips.

P.S. One Linfielder’s hazy recollection is reading a story or posting which said Brett gave the Wildcat helmet decals to a kid (apparently in Las Vegas) who asked for them.
