Chapman applies to the SCIAC.

What makes them believe they will be accepted this time after being kept at arm's length for so long?

The SCIAC will not take anyone if it feels that Cal Tech is going to be threatened.

Have they ever formally applied before, though?

What does that even mean? Is Chapman going to beat up Caltech or take its lunch money?

I believe they have, although I don't know the exact history.

Boy, and I thought that the Caltech men's basketball team had it rough. Those baseball scores are positively frightening in their lopsidedness.

I'm most impressed that they finished the year... In game 2, they lost 25-2 and had NINE errors.  They were down 15-0 after 2.

I feel like I have some gumption and stick-to-itiveness... but goodness gracious...

Yeah, but in Game 1 they were AHEAD 7-5 in the 8th. Ya gotta believe.

However, I think Cal Tech is the epitome of playing the game for the sake of playing. Which should be commended. When you are 0-10 with an 18.98 ERA AS A SENIOR and you still want the ball - that says something.

Amen.  They are in some ways the epitome of D3.

Unfortunately, for the yahoos like some at UNO who think D3 is 'glorified intramurals', they are also the epitome of D3. :P

Alas, I have no easy solution for showing what a great athletic 'product' we have, yet showing that we are truly student athletes.  I guess we'll just have to win that battle one fan (parent, sibling, friend, other) at a time. ;)

So, they were on the verge of an historic year (for the good) when the bottom of the 8th happened and it was all downhill from there...?
