Bibbee vs Kaille Wong - Rushing Numbers
Mike Bibbee was a toddler when future NFL player, Kailee Wong, set the MWL regular season rushing record of 1,542 yards in 9 regular season games during 1993. Wong led the Highlanders to the playoffs while averaging 171 yards a game for the regular season. MWL teams played 8 league games that year, during which Wong rambled for 161.4 yards per game.
Wong ran off to Stanford for a great college career (on D) before heading off to Minnesota to intercept a Brett Farve pass and take it back All The Way. Rather than going out of state, Bibbee is heading to OSU to play linebacker. Before he says ‘adieu’, he has one last shot Friday night of catching Wong. I’m not sure if breaking Wong’s record would be a new MWL high as the Register-Guard hasn’t been tracking season stats the last few years during the six team league format. Nevertheless, breaking Wong’s numbers would be an outstanding accomplishment. And who wouldn’t want to be able to say, ” I did better than Kailee Wong in football.”
If I’m tracking the numbers correctly, Bibbee needs 139 yards against Churchill to pass Wong. That’s doable considering Bibbee is averaging 144.8 yards in league games. The game will be on artificial turf, so even a bit of rain shouldn’t make too much difference.
The league season hasn’t gone the way the Highlanders hoped. But I have to think it would be cool for Bibbee’s teammates if they could push him over the top and then watch as Bibbee hopefully goes on to have a solid career at Beaverville. (I’m a Duck) Then his teammates can come back to reunions and say, “You would have been nothing if I didn’t open all of those holes for ya.”
For those precious reunion conversations to occur, Bibbee will have to complete two tasks. One, gain 139 yards Friday. And two, work incredibly hard academically and athletically the next four or five years at OSU.
