MBB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[OxyBob]

I am looking forward to watching/listening to the Oxy CMS game Wednesday night.  It looks like Oxy has live video.  Does anyone know how, or if it works? Do you pay money to watch?  Do you have to watch it live, or do they archive all their games?  Is there a limit to the number of people who can watch live?  If the video doesn't work, is there any trick to listening to the live audio. 

I don't see a link to a video feed for the CMS game. Where do you see that? If it's on KadyTV.com then there's no cost to watch it. Otherwise you can listen to the game on oxybroadcast.com with Craig Dunkin aka tigersports on the mike.

Bully for Whitworth and their travel budget.

Wisconsin came to them.

And meanwhile, bully for Pomona-Pitzer as well.

I do the audio broadcasts.  Just go to www.oxybroadcast.com and click one of the 78 "listen live" links and we'll have the broadcast.  You may even get to hear OxyBob.

As for video, we tried it once, but I have not heard from them yet as to whether we're gonna try it again.  For now, you have just our "words eye view."  Enjoy.

I will be in SCIAC country Friday night, anyone want to get a game and a beer?  lol 

Which game should I definitely not miss?

A few interesting topics being discussed...

As far as I know, most SCIAC teams don't fly during the season very often.

Redlands flew to play at Union last season, their only flight in the past 5 years.
CMS flew to play in the Northwest this year, and at Wash U. 2 years ago.
Pomona-Pitzer flew to Wash U this year.  Their last flight was to Wash U. 3 years ago.
Cal Tech flew to Texas in 2005.
Oxy last flew to UTEP in 2005.
Cal Lu flew to Hawaii in 2008, and 2006
La Verne has taken a flight to Colorado, Hawaii, and the Northwest in the past 3 seasons.
Whittier last flew to Hawaii in 2008.

So it looks like most of the SCIAC teams only take one flight every few years.  Maybe its just me, but if I only got to fly once every few years, Spokane WA and Stevens Point WI would not be my top choices.

Unfortunately as some people know, just because a school like Whitworth offers to pay for flights and lodging, doesn't necessarily mean that a school can just go.  There are other issues, such as gender and program equity, that come into play when dealing with these issues.  It would be nice if all teams had to worry about was "respect" and "courage" as nwhoops says.

Tonight's schedule, all games 7:30 p.m.:

Whittier (6-5, 0-1 SCIAC) @ Pomona (5-7, 1-0)
Claremont (9-3, 1-0) @ Oxy (9-3, 1-0)
Redlands (4-8, 0-1) @ Caltech (0-12, 0-1)
Cal Lutheran (7-5, 1-0) @ La Verne (4-8, 0-1)

I will be in SCIAC country Friday night, anyone want to get a game and a beer?  lol

Unlike the NWC, SCIAC games are on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Saturday's schedule:

Pomona @ Redlands
Oxy @ Cal Lutheran
Claremont @ Caltech
La Verne @ Whittier

If you're still around on Saturday, Oxy @ Cal Lutheran is the best game of the four.

Unfortunately as some people know, just because a school like Whitworth offers to pay for flights and lodging, doesn't necessarily mean that a school can just go.  There are other issues, such as gender and program equity, that come into play when dealing with these issues.  It would be nice if all teams had to worry about was "respect" and "courage" as nwhoops says.

Indeed.

It is my understanding that Whitworth offers similar incentives to women programs as well.

[Still Can Play!!!]

I've been reading all the mess in here between oxybob and I guess a few chapman fans, and I thought I would finally chime in.  Every team in the SCIAC needs chapman to do well.  If they are all going to play them each year, then at least it helps your non-conference (not pre-season; pre-season is in october) schedule and strength of schedule.  Its been know and no secret that chapman's schedule is something to be desired, but look at it from another angle.  They play all they can against the SCIAC and then they go into their own "conference" against other independents.  This could be solved if the SCIAC schools would be like some other conferences across the country and play a non-conference game within the conference season.  For as long as I've followed D3 hoops, I've never seen this happen.  That probably would allow chapman to play someone else in November and December instead of a SCIAC school and drop some of the other non-D3 games to fill their schedule and not have to play UCSC Five times and La Sierra 4 times to finish their schedule.

Oxybob your right.........I can't believe i'm saying it...........(the your right part), but chapman's schedule is weak and could be improved, but they would have to be flying all over the place during this time of the year to get games.  I can't wait until you get your program, so we can see your scheduling.  Oxy (or any D3 team) plays the D1 for funding their budget.  Sorry they over looked you for the SC job, or sc jobs.  Kevin O'Neil or Lane don't have anything on you!!!   

did you apply to chapman and get denied or something, because the chip on your shoulder is very ugly.  this site is great, but when you argue back and forth so ugly and not making good points, it takes away from all the fun of being in here.  There are some great, or really good programs out here.  Kats and Scam do a great job over in pomona/ cms and Newhall and Rider/Dains over at Oxy and CLu.  Chapman has proven that they have a good program because regardless when the game is played, they have been successful against the SCIAC.

Stepping down off my soap box now.

I don't think OXYBOB has a chip on his shoulder..........it is more like a log!!!!!

You'd have done well to have taken English 254. Or read Mad magazine.

And OxyBob gets to hit another softball out of the park.

[dahlby]

OXYBOB...go ahead and delete my 2 karma. This is the last time I listen to my wife! She is now back in the kitchen.

That softball was softer than Oxy's schedule!
