BB: SCIAC: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[oldcat]

just to let you know...cavan is the one that has transfered to UCSB
one big addition is Mike Vass from UC Riverside

[Ralph Turner]

Did Cavan get a scholarship to go to UCSB?

I think that he must sit out a year.  Ryan Cavan played at Trinity in 2005-06.

no cavan is walking on to UCSB and he is redshirting or sitting out this year because of the rule that you cannot go to 3 NCAA schools without sitting out one year.

Bad for Chapman good for me

Jim - UCSB '84

chapman will hurt from the loss of cavan,  but the addition of mike vass will make up for the offense that was lost.

I believe that he will.

Cal Lu has posted their schedule.  Pretty weak first three games and then they go take on the big boys from Chapman.

You're right W.T on the "Who's" weak opponents during the opening games, however, i hope that such games like these really get them ready for the big games against the panthers.  Chapman will be real good this year.

Though Simpson and  Westmont are a bit weak, they are a NAIA schools and do have scholarship players. It is a way for CLU to play some games and possibly struggl without having it hurt their in-region record. I actually think it is a smart move from a coaching standpoint. They can iron out the wrinkles prior to facing Chapman which will count as in-region.

Isn't Simpson an NCAA school in the IIAC?  Or isn't this the Simpson in Iowa?

I agree with starting with some non-rgion schools to iron out any kinks... espeically if you start down south after practicing in the gym for weeks.

I think that this is Simpson University of California (NAIA and NCCAA).

I though the baseball lovers here on the SCIAC board would like this blog entry found on sports blog With Leather.  This is in regards to a document found from 1897 from Major League Baseball where the league banned players from using foul language towards fans, umps, and other players. 

THE LANGUAGE USED HERE IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK...but it is still classic!

Who does everyone think has the best chance in winning the SCIAC this year?
Is Pomona going to repeat?
Is Redlands going to be a force?
How good is La Verne going to be?
Will Whittier be better than last years disapointing season?
How many games will Oxy win?
I honostly think that Cal Lu is going to be the best team in the SCIAC this year.

Welcome O-Cat,

You might want to refer to several post back if you want answers to this question from other posters besides myself. However, My early prediction on the way the SCIAC will finish.......

1. ULV
2. P-P
3. UOR
4. Oxy/ Cal Who
5. Whitter  (some of the best young players, terrible coaching)
6CMS
8. The Beavs

The logic behind these, ULV has a strong returning class and a list of upcoming supporting cast members that will keep the club at the top. P-P will do their best to defend its Crown, but it's always tough repeating as champs in baseball. The dawgs will feel the effect of graduation early in the season, but will rebound just like they did last year. My tigers will have an All-america Q.B on the mound plus other up and coming player (Matt Anderson and co.)
THe who is still young but strong and will do well on the field.
The poets  (my surprise pick, maybe better than i think) will come with strong first wins and good pitching that will keep them in the hunt for the SCIAC crown and the Stags will fall early yet again.

The beaves will win 1 game in baseball this year leading to their first ever baseball documentary entitled the "law of probability".... winning 1 game against a team that is not made up of 70 year olds.
