Scandihoovian,

Thanks for the props, I have definitely enjoyed your posts and takes on the SCIAC and DIII football. Everyone remember it is all in good fun, but I suspect Eagle Rock College of Administrative Assistants will fall on their faces real soon.

[I.E. Tiger]

Just wanted to congratulate all the tigers that received All SCIAC and Western Region recognition, good work guys.

As far as all of you that think Oxy can't be a dominate team without Collins at the helm, last I checked in 2001 Andy was still in high school, yet Oxy still managed to field a pretty decent if I remeber correctly.

[Tom Brady]

First off, congrats to the OXY and Redlands players that made the all-region teams.

OxyBob- Pretty classic name; "Mt. Clef Jr. High"  Props for that one.   I like to think of Cal Lu as "The univ. of spoiled children north" or "City of spoiled moms that drive Escalades after going to the gym and hitting up Starbucks while wearing tight black workout pants and a sports bra University."

Good to see that everyone is alive on the Left Coast.  Things sure do seem more friendly without LigerLover on here

Brady-

I'll applaud that one.  I don't think of the Cal Lu kids as particularly spoiled but the "mom Escalade" bit was hilarious.

[Sabretooth Tiger]

Mr. Brady:  Excellent post.

This board is much improved with the departure of Liger Lover.

[OXY Oswald]

Why's everybody hating on Liger?  I thought he brought some life to the board....

We all know Andy Collins is a diamond in the ruff for any DIII school, but many people seem to have forgotten Justin Elway who steppedin as a frosh, a year before Collins even considered Oxy.  Elway in 8 games averaged 139 yards and was 84 for 144 and had a completion rating of 58.3%. He threw for 1116 yards with 14 TD's and 7 int's. This was after taking over for the All Conference Tyler Paopao during the second quarter of the tigers 14-28 loss to Pomona. He would go on to lead the Tigers to a 7-2 overall record and 4-2 second place SCIAC finish. Also that was a year in which Redlands beat Oxy by only four points,the final being Redlands 18 Oxy 14, but lost to Claremont 20-6, a year in which Oxy beat Claremont 33-10.  Redlands then went on to lose to Linfield in the first round 31-23, a good 17 of those points being against the second team defense,with Linfield starting their second team defense after a 21-0 halftime lead.

Just a side note; Oxy had 6 1st Team All SCIAC players and 4 Second Teamers while Redlands had five first teamers and 5 second teamers after the 2003 season.

That's a great point, I'd also like to add that I felt OXY's loss to Chapman in the '04 season had a lot to do with Quarterback controversy.  Elway being the starter due to the '03 season and the arrival of Collins cause some turmoil in the depth chart, and OXY never got any rythem. 
We obviously know who ended up the starter for the remainder of a great season for the Tigers, but I believe Elway was a great QB too and had a strong arm.  Obviously not the mobility of Collins, but never-the-less would have been a great player for the Tigers.

Le Tigre,

You're full of it. Linfield did not put in their second team defense with a 21-0 lead. I listened to the whole game and they had their starters in the whole time. Don't try to pull that crap and try to justify why Redlands played Linfield closer than Oxy has the last two years. Sounds like you're just a little embarrased about Oxy getting monkey stomped the last two years at the CatDome. Nice try though.

[DawgHeaven]

Redlands is in good hands with the posters on this board, in fact most are pretty intelligent.  Except for some posters from the Glendale School of Crashtest Dummies.

What does Cal Lu returnt as far a talent?  With the Stagg bowl being all purple, the Regals might have color on their side, but they will find a way to screw it up.  Word on the street is that Collins is foregoing his last year of elgibility because GM has rated him pretty high, if you know what I mean.

[Le Tigre]

Whether or not Collins decides to use his final year of eligiability or not (which I am pretty sure he will), Oxy will be in good hands with back up QB Justin Goltz at the helm. Goltz is a 6'5 220lb freshman from Mich, with a cannon for an arm, great field field vision and is very mobile for his height. Plays very similar to Elway but with a 4 inch advantage allowing him a better view of the field and can make plays on the run. By no means am I saying that he will be as dominate as Collins, but he can and will make plays, so dont sleep on the Tigers once Collins is gone.

[Le Tigre]

Everyone is right...Oxy has had a great run with Collins.  I do not recall Oxy beating Redlands by 4 or more lately and that is with Collins at the helm. 

The last 3 times that Oxy has beaten Redlands it has been by more than 4 each time:

2001- Redlands 17 Oxy 24, 7 point sread (Paopao at QB)
2004- Oxy 42 Redlands 28, 15 point spread (Collins at QB)
2005- Redlands24 Oxy 31, 7 point spread  (Collins at QB)

[RFB]

Well at least you got those facts right. Can't say the same for your imaginery post about Linfield putting in their second string defense against Redlands in a playoff game. Once again, nice try though.

[D O.C.]

Lemme stir the pot a bit.
When I see Redlands in print I still think of the giant powerhouse Redlands HIGH School when there was only 1 large school division in the Southern Section California  Interscholastic Federation. Where has that program gone? Is LINFIELD's sister school headed that way?
