Gray Fox has kept his gentle Southern California accent.  In the conversations that I have had with him, he has not acquired the "y'all".

Y'all" is properly used as the second person plural pronoun as opposed to "you'uns"  "yooz-guys"  and other dialectical attempts to clarify the ambiguity of the English "you". :)

Maybe in Texas.  In what is self-referenced as the "Mid-South," a region that includes Clinton, MS, ya'll (note regional spelling) is second person singular; the second person plural form is all ya'll.   ;D

First off, congrats to both MC for their victory on friday and for Oxy's bball team for respresenting the SCIAC at the Big dance.
Eventhough, i am three days old on this and because i don't have the Net at home, i still needed to give both schools praises for what they have done thus far in their seasons.
I am confident and can assure you that the Men in orange and black will be back in the dance next year, so don't exclude them out just yet.
Good luck to the graduating Oxy seniors as well.

RT,

You forgot a dialectical attempt used commonly in eastern Ohio, northern WVA and western Pa, that is , "you'nz guys".

Men's Hoops Falls in Mississippi

Los Angeles (March 2, 2007)

Occidental men's basketball lost to No. 3 ranked Mississippi College 68-51 in an NCAA Division III Championship first-round game Friday, March 2 in Clinton, Miss.  The Tigers, SCIAC champions for the second time in five seasons, end the 2006-07 campaign with a 19-6 overall record.

Mississippi College improved to 26-2 and will host Maryville College (Tenn.) Saturday night at 7 p.m. Central for the right to advance to the Division III Sweet 16.

The Choctaws, ranked second in Division III in points allowed (55.9 ppg), turned in a stellar defensive effort, holding the Tigers to 29% shooting from the floor in the contest.  Occidental hit seven of 24 attempts in the first half, 10 of 34 in the second, and went five of 16 from behind the three-point line. 

Point guard Ryan Hudson led Mississippi College with 15 points, eight rebounds and two assists.  Nick Mills '07 paced the Tigers with 13 points; Justin Zebb '07 added eight points and recorded four steals.  The Tigers missed the inside presence of Sam Betty '07, who sat out with a sprained knee.

Having spent a couple of summers in Tennessee announcing baseball, I can tell you that "y'all" is not used in that part of the country as a second person singular.  It is only used as second person plural.  "All y'all" is referred to different groups of people put together; e.g., if addressing the Baptist Minister and the Methodist minister as to whether their congregants are welcome at the pancake breakfast, one would say "All y'all are welcome."

CLU will more than likely make a run at the SCIAC title next year, but shouldn't we wait for them to win one first before we start talking 'dynasty'?

Edit: I copied the players' names from the SCIAC web site, which has Connor Whitman's name misspelled. Nice.

Not only Whitman's name but also:
Manny instead of Mani
Zack instead of Zach

And OxyBob, I think you are correct that Finn Rebassssssoooooo was the last Freshman to be named 1st Team ALL-SCIAC

>>Next season the Kingsmen should make sure they don't have 3 of their last 4 on the road so they don't fold faster than a 2-7 beer hand.<<

Is that the equivilent of a cheap lesiure suit?

I was very impressed with their young guards in the 2 games I watched them play.  Coach Geoff Dains has done a great job with them.  Geoff if you read this, Hi from an old friend who you saw at the Redlands game.

I think the scheduling issue was out of their control? No?

And I think it may have had something to do with who they had to play on the road as well - at Oxy, at PP, and at CMS in an 8 day stretch presented quite a challenge.

Finally, I know this is a bit late but it's my first post in a while, I give much credit to the Tigers for a good season and hanging pretty tough at Mississippi College without Betty.  Yeah, I know it's a team game and all that but Betty is one of the best the SCIAC has seen in recent years, and it would have been great to see how tough the Tigers played the Choctaws with him in the lineup.  Congrats to all the Tiger seniors on their success at Oxy.
