[I.E. Tiger]

Been reading the board for a while now and I just wanted to put in my two cents about this weeks big game before all the redland's fans call be a bandwangoner after Oxy beats u of r this weekend. I predict the game to be much like last years minus the 4 turnovers on 4 downs thing that happened in the second half of last years game. So in saying that

Tigers 42
Puppies 28

Go TIGERS!!!!

I.E. Tiger,

A puppy can beat a kitten any day of the week, and twice on Sundays......

Lame response, but I did have to talk some type of trash.  All the Oxy fans are knowledgable, and don't talk too much trash, so its hard to always be negative.  It will be a good one....hopefully as good as my senior year when we beat them in double overtime!!!!!

Go bulldogs!!!

Got to love the "owner." My personal favorite is "Saturday, we going to make us a Pomoney sandwhich".

Here are my thoughts as an impartial observer (with a big stake in a Redlands victory ):

It will be close - if Oxy wins by more than a TD it will only be on an insurance TD late in the game.  If Redlands wins it will be on a late score to pull ahead or because they were up by more than a TD and held on after an Oxy comeback. 

Make no mistake - this is a playoff game for both teams.  Given the strength of other conferences in the West region I don't think the SCIAC's going to get two teams into the postseason.  Redlands loses and their posteason hopes are done with three losses.  Oxy loses and it's almost a lock that either Redlands or Cal Lu will be the conference rep in the playoffs (at least according to my understanding of the SCIAC tie-breaker).

I hope all of you who make it to Eagle Rock have a great time tomorrow night and see a great game.  It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Any nice places to eat around Eagle Rock??? Help me out Oxy fans!

[Lights On]

Casa Bianca, great pizza place. Get there early, should be a long wait on a saturday evening. Coffee Table is legit too, both on Colorado off of Eagle Rock.

As for the game, Oxy wins. I feel Oxy has too many athletes and too much speed for Redlands. And not even sure if it is going to be close. I think Oxy's defense steps up huge and the "kittens" coaching staff out-performs those Bulldogs and Maynard. Team Collins plays a full game start to finish and we'll all have to hear about it come sunday morning from Liger Himself. Brilliant.

The key factor in the Redlands/OXY game will be SPEED.....OXY is extremely fast on both sides of the ball and Redlands will have trouble guarding the OXY receivers (BRAD SMITH VS RIC FUKUSHIMA = TOUCHDOWN ALL DAY) also the OXY defense is very opportunisitc and I predict them flying to the ball and creating turnovers just like last year....also Karl Mikolin or whatever seems to be pretty solid coming off a 220 yd perfromance vs la verne but OXY covers those small quick backs very well and I don't see him getting to the outside vs OXY's speedy duo of outside backers who can probably beat anyone on the redlands roster in a 40.... and finally speed will kill the redlands d when collins scrambles....I see redlands bringing good pressure but when collins scrambles it is like watching a cheetah on an antelope...see ya later....

[redlandsfan]

Thanks Lights On!

Lion Lover...good points you made about speed...I am not sure if Redlands will even show up now...hopefully they will, but if they don't I don't blame them.

By the way...we have some kids who know how to run aswell......

I can't wait for this game.....if we show up of course....

[RFB]

Liger,

Oxy might well win this game, but Redlands has a lot more under the hood then you think. My opinion is that Redlands wins in a close battle. One thing I do know though, your posts are getting worse and more rediculous as the days go by.

[LigerLover]

Redlands should definitley show up.... but I think OXY wins....because of team speed...that was all I was saying

[OxyFan21]

RedlandsFan,
I recommend Leo's taco truck on the corner of Eagle Rock and York for a late night snack.

Casa Bianca is good, but it may be too crowded for you to eat and run to the game.  Senor Fish, on the corner of Eagle Rock and Westdale is good stuff and across the street from the field/campus.  Enjoy.

I'll be listening on oxybroadcast.com

An Occidental win gives the West region four of the top five ranked teams in the nation and five of the top eight.

[rockcat]

A couple of big losses in the top 5 today may allow Oxy to jump up a few spots, especially if they spank Redlands tonight.  Alright Oxy fans, here is your boys chance to show us if they are as good as you all think they are.

[LigerLover]

UPSETS !!!! so where does OXY stand if they beat Redlands? any guesses?
