MBB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Stags4Life]

Stag, you first apparently need to take a course in respectful discourse.  I would think that someone with your educational credentials would not stoop to fourth-grade recess commands.   I never once directed anything like that your way.

That said, you will note that my data came from last year and the year before.  If people are packing Ducey this year, then it's about time because they sure weren't there the last two years.   (And that team sure deserves good fan support).   If that's the case,  it's therefore my mistake for extrapolating last year's data to this year's team.

I don't think I started the "fourth-grade recess commands."  Your sarcastic comment about "41 CMS Diehards" merely incited me.

Anyways, the fans will be in full force against Oxy and so will the Stags.

@ believing the numbers that are put in the box score for attendence...those are NEVER accurate in SCIAC play...hopefully CMS has more people at games these days than I remember, but the fan support there (in terms of numbers) has traditionally been pretty average.  No diss Stagfan, just a fact.  This year, you guys are in the driver's seat though, so get the word out on campus and make sure everyone's behind the squad.


I'll be attending the PP/Cal Tech game on Wednesday and the big rivalry game on Saturday vs. CMS.  I expect my PP boys to come out amped up and it to be a great game...can't wait.  Who else will be in the building?

I'll definitely be at the Cal Tech game, though I will not be my normal dynamic self given that heckling Cal Tech is akin to fixing the Special Olympics in terms of moral validity.

Quick note on CMS/PP attendence, if any SCIAC school claims that a third of their student body (outside of rivalry games, i.e PP-CMS, PP-Oxy, etc..) showed up to a game they are clearly lying.  I know what 500 people look like, and it is not the 12 drunk guys in the first row.

I say let's agree to move past the fan debate.  Bottom line is that outside of PP-CMS, the SCIAC will always have at best mid-tier DIII hoops support.   Everyone here has covered all of the reasons for that and it just has to be recognized that the SCIAC schools have distractions that its cornfed cousins don't have.  Yes, from a hoops perspective you have to be a little jealous.  Watch a game at Hope and you have to get excited about basketball.   Take your two semesters of sun and get good enough to make the lack of crowd support not hurt you.   The SCIAC's big school neighbors in the Pac 10 have made it happen, and nobody is saying that playing in Pullman is like going to Ann Arbor. 

Talent is a cure for Big3-itis.

I am looking forward to the OXY/Cal Lu game.  I hope the fan support is good from OXY, which I am sure it will be.  The football players at Cal Lu have become fond of yelling things at the other teams players as of late, even refering to them as "Poop".  Even if Cal Lu does pull off the big upset, at least they won't be able to use the dumbest line ever....."Just like Football".  Safe travels to all.  If you look for me, I will be the guy hididng under the bleachers cause I am embarrassed about the gym (but only for a few more months).

[Tom Brady]

I am guessing it was a few of them.  They are probably the same idiots that called a kid a "Doushe Bag" and started the "Bull Sh**" chant in a gym that only holds about 200 people.  Smart bunch up this way.

I'll be right there with DJ Hyphen at the Pomona/CMS game on Saturday. It really is too bad that Chaz Turner had to quit the CMS team prior to the 2 games against Pomona. Nonetheless it should be a good game. Hopefully the Pomona team that came to play against Oxy will show up against CMS on Saturday.

If anyone can do IM's from their phone or send emails from the same, we would greatly appreciate any updates you could give us while we do the WC/Oxy game.   (We will also return in kind reports from our game).  Our contact info is at oxybroadcast.com.  Thanks in advance.

Rick (Tom?)-
I agree - I thought the "Purple Pit" was much more clever and creative earlier in the season.  Lately they seem in need of rejuvenation...  I'm a little disappointed you're embarrassed about the gym - I've found it much easier to think of it as charming and full of character since they broke ground for the new one 

Bob and Oswald-
Glad you guys are coming out to the game.  I'll try and stop by to introduce myself tomorrow night if I get a chance to make it for part of the game.  That is if it's not too hard to make it through the Cal Lu fans storming the court in celebration of a Kingsmen victory

[Tom Brady]

Yes Scandi, this is Tom.  I changed my name for baseball season.  Sorry for the confusion.

I know this is outside of the D3 community, but after going to the USC-Arizona game last week at the Sports Arena (which would arguably be amongst the worst gyms in the SCIAC ) I checked out USC's new Galen Center which is scheduled to open next fall.  I think many of you might enjoy taking a look at it.  If you click on the virtual seating diagram link it takes you to an interactive page where you can see interior views from each section.

$70M for that fine gigantic facility at SC.  $22M for Hope field house.
$29M for CLU's complex.  $16M for Rains.   LV getting updates.  Whittier needs updates.  Redlands, CMS & Oxy need new gyms.  Capital campaign time folks.  I have to believe that if Hope can pull off a $100M+ cap campaign that those schools can as well.  I'm sure it won't be easy.  Nothing worth having ever is.

ISmart bunch up this way.

Maybe they arent the most creative with their cheers.....but they are smart enough to spell "referring" and have much pride in their gym.  So you can stay under the bleachers!!!

[Gray Fox]

When the Sports Arena first opened there was an Attendance Sign that changed as fans entered.  I always thought that was cool.

[sciacguru]

The score that is posted for the CLU/Oxy game is wrong.....flip the score and Oxy won.

[OxyFan21]

whats the correct score?
i hope you're right guru!
