FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

UR is at CLU this year, CLU broadcast video for free..it is the game I would check out...even if UR is 0-2...I know CLU fans will be upset but I think UR was just as good or slightly better than CLU at the end of the season. Mainly because our QB did not get it together until the end of the season. CLU won the game fair and square...no doubt..they were the champs, UR just got hot at the wrong time...the PLU game cost UR a wild card spot...UR did not get it done on the field when it was time to do it,  so they deserved not to go to the playoffs...


Like I said in the past, if QB and O line play is just decent. I think the defense will keep them in games early.  UR with the all the d front back (total 7 good players back, a couple injured starters back too, and moved a couple athletes to defense in spring), run stop should be ok early...If UR can get a push out of just their D line on the pass...then they have chance against a real slick PLU QB/WR combo and a Cal Lu D1 bounce back QB..
You know MHB will surface with a couple D1 bounce backs...out of no where in the skills positions. Makes one work hard this summer...

I would just like to take some time out of my frolicking,lolly gagging national holiday to say how much I admire of gray and maroon, how much I like the grass at Runner stadium, and who cares who fired at the sheriffs at Saboba Indian Reservation.
It's all good.

I agree with you regarding UR's stadium. I like it even better now that the couches  that were near the end zone are gone.

Any word on how CLU will replace their awesome receiver from last year?

We won't. At best we will have 2-3 guys that can combine for his stat line last year.

Kingsmen, I see no reason to attack my post or be sarcastic, but I understand the CLU mentality well so I harbor no negative feelings or take it personally. I do not know where it comes from, I know not coach Mac. Any preseason is subjective. I clearly said CLU deserved to be the champion last year. Coach Mac is the one that said UR got hot at the end of the season, that is his quote I just agreed with it.
In order for CLU to repeat, there one and done QB will have to show he can get it done...with little college playing time, it will be interesting. Your d line and line backers will need to step up, if not your games will be a shoot out. I would be concerned on the size of your d line this season, if CLU makes the playoffs their opponents attempt to run the ball down your throats like NCC did last year at your home field. Has that hole been filled?

Thank you for the chuckle this morning.

If K4 were not sarcastic, I would not read his posts.


CLU fans, you've been sleeping and have not voted for LINFIELD on the d3football front page it appears.  I know not why.

Thanks Oxy,

UR opens against #3 MHB, then at #13 PLU as per D3 Football.com

Week 4, CLU #18

It can not get much tougher, early in the year.

PLU at home followed by Linfield in a place we have not found a way to win yet will be a tough way to open the season for CLU. Luckily we have Redlands week 4 to soften the schedule a bit (that is my signature CLU mentality talking, which since you asked comes from either yearly water boarding and shock therapy in camp at CLU ... OR ... Redlands inability to win a game against CLU in the past 5 years ... no one really knows for sure).

I was hoping he would try out for General Manager.

Well, there's an NCC/OXy connection, sorta, that few people know probably about. In 1979, an NCC assistant was named head coach at Oxy. However, he resigned before the season and Bruce Allen (son of George Allen) was named to replace him. It seems that Bruce Allen only coached that one season.

Bruce Allen was the youngest college head coach in the country that year. 

Bruce Allen went on to bigger and better things in the USFL and the NFL. Here's a transcript of his interview on ESPN Film's "30 for 30" series:
