I think it's a lot more extreme.

I thought that PP did it after a season so the other teams had a chance to fill in the next year's schedule.


To do it during the season is really rough and makes any trust between schools very weak.

I don't know - when a school decides to basically drop half of it's season, I think it would greatly impact recruiting going forward and make it especially tough to field a team next season.

This has a big impact on the NWC in that who makes the final decision as to how long conference schools have to wait to see if L&C is going to have a team next year? If L&C breaks this year's contract, then are the subsequent years still valid?

I really like these Whitworth announcers...they are good!

Final score from Thousand Oaks:

CLU 42
PLU 35

Very exciting game, lots of great plays and lots of first game mistakes.  Both teams had trouble hanging on to the ball at times.  The Kingsmen D gave up some big plays but held several times inside the thirty where the Lutes went with a four down offense due to suspect kicking.  Nice to see the same exciting style from the Kingsmen offense that we came to love last year.

Just got home from the Cal Lu/Pac Lu game and all I have to say is WOW.  What a great game where both teams showed great class, sloppy moments, hard hitting and all around desire to win the game. 
The thing I enjoyed the most about this game was the way PLU and their fans carried themselves.  I know there is a great deal of tradition at PLU and it is great to see a team help every player, no matter which team, up off the ground.  I love the way the players held hands while running off the field.
Cal Lu, which I understand is not the classiest bunch around, did a very good job with their class as well.  It is great to see two teams huddle up in the middle of the field and each coach got a chance to speak.
Hats off to both teams for playing the game the way it should be played.

Tom Brady-You have it all wrong .The Cal.Lu U. footballers are really classy guys.They don,t use profanity,they say yes sir,and no sir,and are clean living players.They are a religious bunch and never play dirty football! They never talk trash.Somebody gave you bum information Brady.

Paocha,

You are killing me....Cal Lutheran is a very unclassy bunch...I am not saying we are any better at Redalnds, but get your head out of the sand

I hope you're right Gray Fox.  A Redlands win vs. Trinity does a great deal for the national rep of the conference.  I'm sure playing at home will help give them an edge, as well as a week of practice to iron out the kinks from Saturday...

As for the class issue, seems like we've been here before.  I know that as a spectator, one that can only watch and not hear 98% of what's said on the field, CLU's on field conduct is equal to or better than the other conference members.  I say this based on things you can see from the stands: unsportsmanlike conduct penalties, taunting, cheap hits, etc. 

I'll allow that those of you who have played have a different experience, but a lifetime of experience with competitive sports tells me that everyone encounters their opponents in a different way.  In other words, I think you could find a wide variety of former players across the conference who have had both positive and negative experiences while in competition with every school in the conference.

Tom Brady-

I agree - the positive post game experience on Saturday was a nice way to finish off a CLU win, and I think you'll find over time that the Kingsmen are representative of what is, on the whole, a classy conference.

Without beating a dead horse to death the Cal Lu low class stuff is getting old, Brady, what do you base your info on, you say you understand  that they are low class, I have been to most all the games for the last couple of years and although I must admitt PLU takes sportsmanship  to another level the Cal Lu kids played hard hitting ball with no unsportsmanship penalties that I saw.  I am for every team in the SCIAC, and was really glad to see Whitter pull off a win versus Colorado, talking about the last few years I just don't see the stigma that continues. I raised one of the Cal Lu kids and I can assure you that he neither talks trash or delivers cheap shots, his play on the field is enough. These are kids and there is a large passion for the game for sure.
Redlands Fan:  any info on Charles Coleman and how he did aganist Whitworth?

RFB

Twoducks,

I listened to the game and Charles Coleman had a few catches, but nothing gamebreaking. Alex Ballard had a big day as did a newcomer by the name of Dan Selway. I look for Coleman to get going at home on Saturday against Trinity.

Pirat

The RATS got a lot of pressure on Brown so the DAWGS really couldn't develop anything to Coleman plus he seemed to by matched up against our best corner most of the day. But, Brown and Ballard did very well in the short passing game. I thought the most impressive Redlands guy was Selway. This kid looks to have a big upside, good size, speed and hands but probably figures to be QB for the next 3 years.  Any news on his injury? Will he be ready for Trinity?

From the future schedules, it looks we will be seeing the DAWGS for the next 2 years hopefully things keep going our way.

Nice game

GO RATS

Tom Brady

My fault everyone, I didn't mean to fuffle any feathers about the Cal Lu not being classy deal.  I was just going by what I had read on here before, not my own thoughts.  I thought they were very classy against PLU and didn't see one bit of trash-talk or anything after the whistle.  Now to say they are all good religious kids, well that one was stretching it a little...

Tom, sorry I probably am over sensitive to some degree, but like I said before i am for all the SCIAC teams as of now Oxy is at the top but we need to pull for Redlands aganist Trinity and the other teams playing outside the conference, it helps us all when we win, but back in league well its every dog for himself and my kennel is at Cal Lu, take care and good luck this weekend.

What's the QB situation looking like at Redlands?  Brown is an exciting player but I noticed he had a hard time hanging on to the ball again.  What are Saras' prospects as a backup for Brown?

I hope the Dogs play well Saturday against Trinity.  It's by far the best chance for the SCIAC to make a national statement this week, although LaVerne beating Whitworth wouldn't be bad for the conference either.  It does not seem like CMS has much of a shot against UPS.
