GRAY FOX,

I would expect a return comment like that from someone who threw a cheap shot. I expect and look forward to comments like that from OXY BOB, but not from someone who apparently has no clue to the depth of Chapman's scheduling problems. By the way, I understand that CU will continue to schedule La Sierra, as we do other NAIA and NCCAA teams as has been done in the past.

If cheap shots like that one is the best you can do to stir up a quiet board......... oh wait, we were having an intelligent conversation regarding teams in D3... or were you not reading the exchanges?

Cheers!

dahlby,

Lighten up!

GRAY FOX,

Who, me lighten up? I am laughing. I thrive on posts such as yours where you are so far off base and don't realize it until after the post has been made, if at all.

Cheers!

Titan Q...
It would be interesting to know what Alex Rudd signed. A deposit check for tuition? Maybe his application? I did not know that D3 had letters of intent, as I had never heard of them before.

D3 does not have letters of intent. The scouting site to which Bob linked simply made an error, which is not unusual in this case; even scouting websites tend to not have much knowledge about D3 and its rules.

Greg is right. This time of year, that is a common mistake in newspapers and on websites across the country. You'll see all kinds of references to a kid "signing" with a D3.

Does anyone out there know where I can find Occy's 2010-11 men's basketball schedule? I have checked the web site, but it hasn't been posted yet. Thanks.

I went to several places looking for Occy's (sic) schedule and was unable to find it. I did find Chapman's schedule, and they do not play Oxy. They do play in a tournament together, so keep your fingers crossed. See you in Dallas in January.

dahlby · June 26, 2010, 02:01:13 PM

Oxy, Pudget Sound, Azusa Pacific (NAIA) and Chapman are in the tourney. Normally Oxy and Chapman would play Pudget Sound and Azusa Pacific, but I was hoping that this year the possibility would exist that Oxy would would relent and play Chapman, instead of an NAIA team, although APU had a tremendous team and season last year.

The Chapman schedule does include playing other SCIAC teams (LaVerne twice and not Cal Tech). But alas, I guess the boards will be addressing strength of schedules again.

Yes, I plan on going to Dallas, I have a cousin down there I am going to visit.

More Chapman BS.

APU was No. 15 NAIA I, won the GSAC, and came within a fraction of a second of winning the NAIA championship. What a plum of a team to have in Oxy's tournament.

And yet there's Chapman playing Menlo (NAIA II) and La Sierra (NAIA II).

OxyBob:

First off, if OXY had the testicles to schedule Chapman, they wouldn't have to schedule the weaker teams to the extent they do now.

I see where Oxy is so proud of their schedule that it isn't even posted on either the D3 boards or their local web site. Are they waiting to have a big party for the announcement?

I am anxiously awaiting the posting. Let's see what the balance of the schedule looks like.

I guess that it is better for Oxy to lose to an NAIA powerhouse than risk a game with Chapman.

Cheers, and sharpen that keyboard a little.

Pat Coleman · July 15, 2010, 10:05:44 PM

Dahlby:

We have maybe 50 of the 400 schedules for 2010-11. I wouldn't read too much into the fact that Occidental's isn't posted yet because they are in the vast majority.

dahlby · July 15, 2010, 10:17:00 PM

Pat, I realize that you can't post until you receive the info. My comment was more directed to the fact that Oxy's schedule is not even up on their own web page yet.

But even moreso, that unless OxyBob has inside knowledge of their schedule, that he would even evaluate Chapman's schedule before seeing his own schedule, or before it was posted for the general public. That is so uncharacteristic of someone such as his calibur on this board. But, we can excuse him, because he is probably a little rusty and hasn't warmed up yet.

Oxy is a Presto client. They will go up on our site at the same time as they go on Oxy's site, if not sooner.

My point is still that the vast majority of Division III teams have not released their own schedules yet, even on their own site.
