LigerLover-

Make sure you stop by the idiots tent for a pregame burger this year when you're up for the annual SCIAC beatdown in McMinnville (at least Redlands kept it kind of close).  Should be sometime between November 19 and December 3, we'll save you one with cheese!  We're looking forward to the USC match-up the week after we dispose of you stiffs...

But that's a ways off...we've got PLU this week...RFB is right...one at time boys, one at a time!

[rbaikie]

One thing I have observed over the last few years -

Cal Lu tends to play down to the level of their opponent when Cal Lu is the better team. I have seen them make a number of mistakes to keep other teams in the game when they should be showing a killer instinct and putting them away.

They usually have a lot of talent and good coaching, but if I were a betting man, I would tend to bet against them in most cases.

(wins over NWC teams by SCIAC teams have been rare and those idiots up there SWEAR they are playing in the PAC-10 or something )

lover,

First, you're right about wins for SCIAC teams over NWC teams.  It doesn't happen much.  

Second, it looks like the only chance a SCIAC team will have to knock off Linfield is in the playoffs because the whole SCIAC is skirting scheduling Linfield (while I respect the fact Redlands has played Linfield 4 time in the regular season, it seems that they recently stop returning calls.....)

Third, the "idiots" on the NWC board know they're not playing in the Pac-10.....they just know they have the defending National Champion and #1 team in the country in their back yard.

[RFB]

WC11,

It seems that Redlands won't return calls from Linfield? So outside of your day job you're the athletic director for the Cats? I highly doubt your information. Redlands has a highly regarded, respected athletic director in Jeff Martinez. Redlands might have turned down Linfield for a contract but not returning calls is an asinine statement. I don't care where you heard that information, unless you're in a decision making position for Linfield athletics I would say you're not in the know.

[wildcat11]

RFB,

I know it's hard to pick up sarcasm but did I really need to put a sarcasm disclaimer around the line of: "it seems that they recently stop returning calls....."?

Fine...I retract that statement and will just say that recently when Linfield makes an inquire to Redlands about future football contests between the two school, Redlands has declined each the invitation to play....for whatever reason they may have

....and I think that reason is that Redlands hasn't been paying their phone bill and are unable to call Linfield back.  (*****that was sarcasm....I'm sure that Redlands is paying their phone bill right on time)

[downtown48]

I would hope they haven't stopped returning phone calls altogether, but I do know that it would be about as easy as a Linfield playoff victory over a SCIAC squad for WC11 to get that info from THE decision maker...

By the way RFB I do hope your boys sneak up on OXYCollins, I'd rather not see that guy in town any time soon.

[RFB]

WC11,

Your right, e-mail is tough to interpret at times and I read it wrong. But if I am not mistaken you or maybe other Linfield backers have painted Redlands as running scared. I just don't buy into those not involved within Linfield athletics coming here on these boards and acting like they are stating facts when in reality they are getting information from my mothers fathers second cousin.

[RFB]

DT48,

I have faith in my Dawgs, they will be ready for Oxy. One game at time though and they need to get by Laverne first at Ted Runner next weekend.

[Tuxguy]

RFB.... WC11 knows of what he says. 

[CarloRossiLep]

Redlands may not be playing Linfield every year but its not like they scheduled a cupcake instead.  Trinity TX is a OK program last time I checked.

[LigerLover]

Alright Boys....heres the law:

1. I want a double cheeseburger please, and throw some bacon on there too

2. I love the trash talk here by the NWC but don't you have your own post patterns site, why are you reading ours now....go fight about whos gonna win the NWC.....I look forward to hearing more from you guys later on in the season though about the play-off picture since thats when Oxy will meet another opponenet for the NWC ( I got my $ on a rematch of last years elite 8 game ).

3. Lewis andd clark would get their ass whopped by ANY SCIAC team, Pac-Lu lost to cal who, Oxy beat willamette last year....what I am getting at is that SCIAC is getting better each year and I do not see the NWC as all that much better than the SCIAC currently...I fully realize that in the past SCIAC has not shown well in games vs. NWC teams but we are on our way up!

4. the "DAWGS" will not sneak up on collins as you put it....Collins is bigger than most of the redlands D-line and ran all over them last year....If redlands wants to beat OXY I think they will have to find another way to do it cause you ain't gonna stop Collins. period.

[Tom Brady]

Is that confidence, or cockiness?

[wildcat11]

Ligar,

1.  "Don't you have your own post patterns site, why are you reading ours now..." 

---Well, if you didn't insult NWC posters by calling us idiots then you wouldn't get a response.  Pretty simple.

2.  "Lewis andd clark would get their ass whopped by ANY SCIAC team..."

---Lewis and Clark....yeah they're damn bad.  Way to point that out.  However, how quickly you forget your history:

2001 Lewis & Clark vs Occidental: 35-32 Oxy win
2002 Lewis & Clark vs Occidental: 21-20 Oxy win

BTW, Lewis & Clark still was still sucking in 2001 and 2002.  We'll see how good Oxy is when Collins is gone.

Regardless who comes up to Linfield from the SCIAC (if they make it that far) for the playoffs the result will be the same....a Linfield win and the SCIAC team goes home.

[scandihoovian]

Welcome to the reality of Post patterns, Liger.  Call out the Linfield folks and they'll come to visit.  Just be glad that Cal Lu beat PLU and LaVerne beat UPS or they'd be down here in full voice.  That's right, Oxy earns us no street cred up north with wins over L & C.

WC11 - Thanks for reminding the Oxy folks that their recent success does not equate with long term dominance.

DT48 - In my one chance to see him this year Collins looked even better than last year - he does things that D3 quarterbacks are not supposed to be able to do - especially in the semi-darkness under the "lights" of Patterson field.  I will be interested to see if anyone on Oxy's regular season schedule holds them under 30.

[LigerLover]

wildcat 11 : Like I said BEFORE.... SCIAC CURRENTLY (not 4 years ago) is on par with the NWC.period. but thanks for the trip down memory lane...I know that the NWC has a more storied past and if you want I can pull out OXY scores form the good ole days when we played in the rose bowl vs. USC and won but that is neither here nor there.... goodluck and lets move on with a new topic...your choice this time....no more silly quarelling.
