MBB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Mr. Ypsi]

PC in no way 'discounted it' (predictably, or not), he merely observed that (in terms of primary criteria, however impressive it may otherwise be) the win over Gettysburg does not exist in the eyes of the selection committee.  Is that a problem?

Ypsi, I realize that your schtick is to be PC's attorney, but this is getting a bit tiresome. So, is he JUST your client, or do you have a problem?  Either way, kindly find a new foil. In fact, I hereby specifically prohibit you from further reading or commenting on my posts ever again. I further demand that you STOP READING THIS POST IMMEDIATELY! I mean it! Don't read this! STOP before I get mad!

Nice try (bringing the pool C comments to your 'home court'), but I dare say that Pat has hammered me over the years more often than anyone who has not been banned!  I somehow doubt he would hire a retired sociologist as his attorney.

But, as usual, you prefer the 'comedy' hatchet job to responding to the post itself.

BTW, I read the entire post - so sue me.

[Pat Coleman]

I merely attempted to correct your attempt at clouding the issue by clarifying what information is actually used in the NCAA selection process.

The ax-grinding is indeed growing old. You may wish to find something else to complain about. I have tolerated ax-grinding so far but the Terms of Service say I do not have to.

OB just likes to debate in a scarcastic humorous way.  Take them for what the are...funny with points tossed in there every so often.

As an outsider always keeping tabs on the SCIAC, I got to say I am looking forward to seeing how the 1st year of the conference tourney shakes out.

PC...I'll represent you.  I specialize in ax grinding.  A small nonrefundable retainer is required say 195 +K points will suffice.  You can make installments if you need to.

"I further demand that you STOP READING THIS POST IMMEDIATELY! I mean it! Don't read this! STOP before I get mad!"

My sentiments exactly.

Snoop, from the looks of your Karma I would think that you invented axe grinding. 

Here's one to get you back on track...only 195 to go.

Nice to see Conner doing well, he is a great kid.  I coached him for two years in travel ball.  Congrats Conner, keep it up.

Took the 8 year old son to an Oxy women's home game earlier this year . . . am thinking about taking him to the first round SCIAC men's game on Friday night . . .

. . . . so my question to you all is . . .

How are the crowds at Oxy men's games . . . 8 year old appropriate . . . or on the louder, more profane side?

And . . . what's the latest on Sasich?

The men's games are definitely louder/more crowded than the women's, I'd say you safe bringing the youngin' to the game though.  The surliest the crowd will get is to chant "push it," in order to get around those pesky no swearing rules. 

The student section mainly sits in the bleachers across from the opposing bench, so if you pick some seats across from Oxy's bench, or in the bleachers they pull out part way behind the Tiger bench, you'll have a good/clean time.

Sasich posted 11 minutes in the game against the La Verne and was dressed on the sideline against Cal Lu, but did not check in.  Not sure on the actual status of his health, but getting him back in the lineup is great news for the Tigers.

I hope CLU is prepared for the possibility that Kats played some mind games in that last game.  His team was playing the best in the conference going into that game.  Their drubbing at the hands of CLU had me scratching my head.  Not to take anything away from CLU, because they are good enough to take PP's best shot and beat them, but don't sleep on Kats.  He has lots of tricks and undoubtedly had the conference tourney in mind when coming up with a strategy in that last game.  Win two games, go to the Tourney.  Simple as that. 

I find the criticisms of the post-season tournament interesting.  The ONLY reason we need it is the right reason, to send our best rep to the tournament.  Coaches and the players get used to the win or go home format.  Much, much overdue for our conference and reflects an equally overdue sentiment that the end game here is not the Conference banner, but competing nationally.

Observers of the SCIAC know it tends to be on something other than the cutting edge when it comes to Division III trends

I agree with Bob (and coach Rider).  The Tournament keeps most teams relevant much longer.  I am especially excited about this year's version, even though you could make the argument that in this particular season the two top teams might have had a better chance of both going to the playoffs without the tourney.

In the past, if this scenario occurred, then Oxy and CLU would play for the AQ at a neutral site.  I think CLU's only chance at the NCAA's is to win out any way.

Oxy Bob - Speculating on NCAA first round sites. If Occidental wins the conference tournament, am I right, to think that they would probably host the first weekend on the West Coas?. And, If they would, are there four teams out there? What's the chances of that Pod needing a #4 seed from the midwest?
