FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Browneagle64]

The Eagle has landed,

So far, i am glad to hear that the other S.C.I.A.C schools are gearing up for the upcoming season. In addition, thanks to those who pointed out that there will be scrimmages coming up soon. Although, the scrimmages do not count, they will definately let the schools know how the teams are doing.

The staying power for fans will be buy far more supportive. I know that since i learned about these post patterns I will do my best to still root for my team. 

It seems interesting to hear what the fans have said about WHo talks smack, who has pride or who is striving to reach for that pride. Throughout the past four years that i had played at one of the S.C.I.A.C school's (2000-2004) I have witness how each school and their players feel about any school.  The Cal Lu's v.s redlands, The oxy v.s. redlands fued, the battle for the drum, the battle for the shoes, the battle for the peace pipe (hahah, peace pipe) all of these have been very traditional hated fueds. But buy most, what some of you players from the past have mention, most of that smack talking has stopped.

The last time i heared the redlands team talk smack they ended up losing the conferance in 2001. In 2002 they barely beat Oxy in a double over time and buy a fumble by us in 2003. Cal Lu never said anythiny. (They just wanted to join our victory celebration at times....and i kid you not, there was a time that a player from cal lu that asked us if he could join our celebrations after we beat them for one of our homecomings. Overall, Players have shown sportmenship. Sure, there has been that individual smack talking. But over all, it just the nature of this great game..


Go Oxy

Browneagle64,

I bet you were a math major, yes?

RFB-
Whatever it was, it must have been something that did not require much keyboarding and/or proofreading...


That Oxy-COC scrimmage sounds like the best of the lot.  COC is a strong program, they're just a little nuts about their football up in the Santa Clarita Valley.

BrownEagle,

I notice you have 64 at the end of your handle..was that your number???  If it was then maybe you and I mixed it up a bit!!  Both games against Oxy were career games for me...so I am sure I handed it to you....

I went 1 and 1 against you guys...I think we did have the better team in 2002, but you guys could have won the game......why the hell were you throwing the ball with 3 minutes to go in the game when you were winning?  An interception by one of our linebackers and it was tied.....what could have been!!!

[Lights On]

great point redlandsfan-"why the hell were you throwing the ball with 3 minutes to go in the game when you were winning?"

My SCIAC Fantasy Team:

QB : Danny Ragsdale - UR
RB: Sean Cheatam - UR
WR: Chad Hustead - UR
TE: Melvin White - UR
K/P: Sean Lipscomb - UR
Team D - Who needs one with those skill positions?

[wildcat11]

Dawgs,

Just make sure that Ragsdale isn't playing against Linfield's defense....I'm sure he still thinks about that 48-0 bashing at the 'Catdome in 1999.   

[dawgs57]

Ragdale isn't the guy who lost 3 fumbles while we were moving the football and still in the game in the first half.  I won't name names, but the running back was a "Bear."

There's a little love for the D3 & SCIAC way of things in this morning's LA Times sports section.  You do need to read all the way through to the end of the article where Pomona's Katsiaficas and Oxy's Widolff are quoted.

Any info on the scrimmages,  Oxy or PP ?, I did not catch if Redlands had a scrimmage?  Also Redlands Fan, have you seen how Charles Coleman is doing so far, off to Santa Barbara to see Cal Lu, Fall and Football are getting close.

ULV scrimmaged against Fullerton City College on Thursday.  Through the grapevine I hear they handled them pretty well.  The Leps should do well this year.  They have a lot of good returners on both sides of the ball and the offensive coaching staff has stayed the same for the first time in about 5 seasons.

Hail to the Orange!!!

In prepping for The Kickoff season preview I spoke with at least one SCIAC coach who was slightly concerned about the talent returning at La Verne.  They should have a pretty sweet passing attack.

All's you have to do to get some front page sports coverage of SCIAC teams by the LA Times is to get the NY Times to do a story on your DIII championship QB or have a woman soccer player kick a few field goals or extra points.  Journalistic competition, you know.

...or have a former football coach at a SCIAC school who signs a multi-million dollar contract renewal at a D-I school, and who resists offers to interview with Stanford, Washington, and Notre Dame....
