Quote from: olddog on January 27, 2025, 11:14:37 AMPat, in defense of RBF...I have been watching UR games since the late 90's....our O line play continues to decline.

I'm not disputing this point, olddog. What I actually wrote was different.

Pat, have you watched Redlands offensive line specifically this last season or two?

No, but I know there are many worse teams and I'm sure many worse offensive lines. Have you watched a lot of the bottom 25 teams play? There's lots of really bad offensive line so again, going to say that the statement that "more than half of those guys have no business playing college football," is unsupported by reality. There is lots of college football worse than Redlands.

Pat, as you know the SCIAC had Occidental and currently has La Verne, so the Redlands backers know how bad teams and Offensive lines are, since they play them yearly--and in La Verne's case, the only two wins this year.  I know you have to support the D3 athletes, but some teams and players do not belong playing.  I know that great programs like St. John's allows anybody willing to try to join the team and practice, so?

Indeed it is Old Dog

Quote from: 10Freeway on January 08, 2025, 11:07:00 AMPeople in the Midwest do not want to move to CA let alone go to school there.  That is the big issue even USC is dealing with currently.  California costs too much in general.

I hate to point out the obvious, but in agreement with you, people from the mid-west do not like the liberal education and attitudes in CA!

Quote from: 10Freeway on January 06, 2025, 12:47:00 PMWith the Stagg Bowl last night, will we ever see a SCIAC team make a run?  Oxy did 20 years ago.  I think some UR teams could have had they not had to play Linfield or St John's in the first round.  Better questions might be, will the SCIAC ever win a football playoff game again?

North Central and Mount Union are on a different level on the field because academic standards at those schools are not nearly as restrictive as most SCIAC schools.  Most athletes at those schools could not get into the Claremont schools, Chapman, ect...

Quote from: D O.C. on November 18, 2024, 11:30:24 PM[ CAPS BECAUSE OF FAILING VISION ]

LINFIELD IS THE PREMIER PROGRAM ON THE WEST COAST. OC/DC DO MATTER A WHOLE LOT.
BRETT ELLIOTT, QB  - 2004 GAGLIARDI TROPY WINNER IS OC
JACKSON VAUGHN ( 2 NATIONAL WOMEN SOFTBALL TITLES ) - DIII OC OF THR YEAR
EVEN 93 YO AD RUTSCHMAN COACHES KICKING TEAMS

NO IDEA OF THE BUDGET BUT SCOTT BROSIUS IS THE AD

No worries about the all caps, sir. We get it!

That was Bold Pat!

Quote from: olddog on November 11, 2024, 07:43:06 PMCoordinators in SCIAC

Chapman, OC and DC, old as dirt but good guys
CMS, OC and DC ...dont know them
CLU, website so crappy does not say they have one, Dr D ? Under Mac he had both
PP, OC and does not say HC is DC, but in the past, PP help us out
LV, OC and DC, yikes ....their recruiting makes zero sense to me
UR, DC, and HC is the OC ...

Under Mac, they had an O Coordinator (Lugo) and a Defensive Coordinator.

Quote from: that guy 31 on November 09, 2024, 08:50:59 PM0-3 vs the Claremont Colleges this year puts the Bulldogs at 1-10 against them over their last 11 (at least that's what they said on the Redlands radio broadcast and I trust them enough not to double check)

That is an incredible number for anyone who has been around this conference. I remember the days when Redlands losing to Pomona or Claremont was considered a monumental upset. Shoot I remember when it was a monumental upset if the game was even close!

The nature of college football.  Cal Lu won how many conference titles several years back, and now they stink.

The Redlands standard and identity established under Mike Maynard's leadership is long gone. Jim Good and his staff need to be fired immediately.

Quote from: olddog on November 06, 2024, 07:32:00 PMHello Fellow Posters, for some reason today I am more optimistic about UR football and life in general, not sure why.
Food taste better, the trees are greener and Red is my favorite color.

Sometimes, life works out for the better.  I am having the same feeling--living the dream!

Quote from: olddog on October 28, 2024, 10:26:30 AMWell Saturday night was very frustrating. Our defense held the Stags to less than two hundred yards, I think only two first downs in the second half, the second one coming in the last series. Defense dominated CMS run and pass game in the second half. Redlands ran a lot of 30 front in the second half, CMS O line struggled blocking linebackers and we took the hook to curl away better, forcing more outs and up top throws.

We actually moved the ball in the second half, QB was late on the goaline (nice read by the safety) on the RPO play that CMS took back to the house, cost us the game. I like our #22 at RB (speed) and we need to get # 30 the ball more in the slot (speed) ....both frosh btw.


CMS got the win when they got outplayed...nice to get lucky once in a while too

Redlands played great on D, but your O-line is weak.  You have two great RB's (thunder and Lightning).  Interesting to know that your big RB #4 is deaf.  My son thought that was cool that he has not let this disability stop him.

Quote from: olddog on October 21, 2024, 01:08:13 PMRBF I dont disagree with you but the cost of the school and type of aid giving out...not sure we could get enough, those folks are not used the prices in the Newsome's Coast ...

Tuition is steep at these SCIAC schools!

Quote from: RFBredux on October 20, 2024, 11:33:18 AMGood win for Redlands. Beating Cal Who is the MUST win game every season.

Ugly, boring game.  Neither team did much-Redlands total offense under 300 yards.  Redlands only passing for 37 yards.  Take away one big game changing run, and Redlands loses.  CLU is the weakest in at least 6 years and Redland worst in the six years that I have followed them.  Both teams suffer from weak O-lines.

Old Dog,   What do you think will happen in CLU-Redlands game Sat?

Quote from: SoCalLance on October 14, 2024, 05:31:14 PMDoes anyone have insight on the Redlands and Pomona game? Did Redlands offense just play poorly (again) or did Pomona's defense look good?

I think both--Redlands is just not a good team this year.  I think the Redlands--CLU game this year could be a battle.

The Smudge Pot Game will be the game of the week and I think it is a toss up for the first time in like 7 years.  Redlands has been dominant, but the Trophy may stay in Thousand Oaks this year which is more a reflection of Redlands decline, than CLU rise.

Old Dog,
CLU did what Redlands did--they were able to finally run the ball.  Amazing what a balanced offense can do to open up the passing game.  They have improved, I agree, but will be surprised if they win more than the La Verne game.  I am hopeful they can pull that game off, but the program is also changing for the worse.
