FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

I think the d3football poll is more accurate than the ACFA poll.  These guys follow division III football more closely than anybody in the country.

Oh, and for the Heisman critic who said Elliott has only thrown touchdowns against bad teams....last time I checked he threw 7 against the SCIAC's finest last year....oh and he didn't even play the whole game.

[RFB]

Here we go again, another Oxy fan talking crap with their first post. Good to see the bandwagon is running just fine.

DT48,

Don't worry, Redlands will be back on top real soon. Laverne won three in a row in the 90's and haven't been heard from since.

[RFB]

Ok, and how many of those wins are Lewis & Clark/Colorado College or some other creampuff pansy program. My math says about ten of those wins come from those two schools. Then you add Chapman, probably another four wins. So close to about 50% of those wins stink. What is Oxy's record over the last fifteen years? I won't even go there. Haven't seen you posting here before. So coming here and talking smack with your first post screams bandwagon to me.

okay fellows,
somebody has to say it, it seems that the team with the most difficult schedule ever
imagined,the team that was battle tested & ready to taking on all teams that wanted to be tested.....crumbled at the rock on Sat... dang fumbles & delay of game penalties can happen to any team....even those that are supposed to be so tough,
anyway, I say, "cupcakes for everyone",
Okay, so I can be a bit juvenile, heres to redlands tougher than thou schedule
neter...neter...neter.

Nicely said RFB - OxyBob, you walked right into that one.

You might also want to consider that many of the regular posters on this board have been watching SCIAC football for a long time - some for more than 20 years.  It's great to have new posters on board, but I'd encourage you to both take a longer view and realize you're posting to a board where folks understand that numbers don't always tell the whole story.

I hope OxyBob and Robert aren't the same person - that might be in violation of site regulations

Sorry Browneagle, no mud bowl this year, at least not yet.  Looks like it will be a nice day at The Lu.  Lets just hope the Regals...I mean Kingsmen show up to make the Alumni happy.  I know I will catch a lot of flack for this one, but why do some posters come on here and talk crap.  So your team beat another, now why not be men (or women) about it and talk about the game ythat was just played, not about the past.  I realize there is a lot of tradition at BOTH Oxy and Redlands, but the past is past and all that matters is what happened on the field this year.  Enough from me.  Looking forward to the weekend.

Guys,

Take a look at the Around the Nation article and see what Keith has to say about Oxy.  He seems to have given us some love, or at least some ink in the past few weeks.

We can go on and on comparing history and what not between Redlands and Oxy, but I'm thinking that the score last week speaks for itself, right?  Oxy has come on strong in recent years and the fans of Oxy on this site have a right to be excited.  I don't think we should be talking about past seasons when past seasons do nothing for the kids who are playing now. 

Certainly when I was at Oxy, the program was not much to write home about, but all of us cannot help but feel excited about the direction we seem to be heading. 

Redlands' tougher schedule didn't translate into a win in Eagle Rock this year or last.  As I said before the game, I'm not convinced that a tougher schedule is that beneficial when you take into account the fact that Redlands now has 3 losses and has seemingly played themselves out of post season consideration. 

As for Oxy playing Colorado College and Lewis and Clark, perhaps that can be attributed to honoring contractual agreements?  With Oxy's success in recent seasons, the formula they have going seems to be working.  So, does the program even want to schedule differently?  With the geographic isolation of the SCIAC being a major hurdle, it could be difficult for all parties.  Oxy seems to prefer scheduling schools with similar academic profiles as itself, with a less emphasis on athletic tradition/success.

As I have been saying before, if the SCIAC improves itself to the level of Oxy/Redlands, then this entire conversation is dead.

GO TIGERS.

OxyBob,

Your a joke...Oxy is legit, and I will give that to them...but if Redlands plays their scheudle they could be 5-1, and could have beaten Oxy the other night.  Be happy that Oxy is 6-0, they will represent the SCIAC well....but look at the big picture, give Redlands their respect, and please dont be "pig headed" (owner circa 1993)

Oh yea...and your name is trash!!!  Oxy Bob?  What about Bob?  Sick movie, but your joke!

[tigersports]

Guys, we need to raise the civility level up a bit, here.  It's not life and death.  What I'm disappointed in not seeing is a celebration of what a great college football game this was.  When Princeton and Rutgers threw it down in 1869, this kind of setting and competition was what they had in mind -- two college teams made up of kids solely their to get an education going at it with everything they have.   I'm not trying to be a pollyanna but this nyah nyah nyah stuff going on is beneath the normal quality of the board.

[rockcat]

RFB, great job proving your point...

It is amazing how angry so many Oxy fans are.  You would think that after sucking for a long time they would enjoy the run their boys are having.  Being ranked #7 shows people are taking notice.

OxyBob, is your goal to go undefeated in the regular season just to lose come playoffs?  It sounds like you are saying it is ok to play creampuffs just so you can make the playoffs.  I'm sure the goals of the team are slightly more ambitious than yours are.  Get a clue and learn to compete.  You would probably be excited to see Oxy add Macalaster to their schedule next year to guarantee another win.

The real SCIAC fans understand that by playing and beating quality opponents you can earn respect so when you make the playoffs you can actually get a high enough seed to host a few games.  Right now Oxy will be lucky to host more than one playoff game because Whitewater and St John's have earned the right to be ranked higher (with of course Linfield as the #1 seed).

[Browneagle64]

Brady--- I agree with you on the two points that you mentioned in your last post. I sure do agree that if the Kingsmen show up and Redlands wakes up after their long bus trip, this game will turn out to be a good one.

As for what recent posters have been saying, yeah, the past is the past. We should live the present. I think i had mentioned that to a poster on this time a while ago.

Anyway's, we are one day away from some exciting games around the league. I hope that all teams do their best to get a W. The battle for the drum will be won by the team that has a solid game plan and a defense that is ready to get it done. In saying that, I know that Oxy's O-line will beat Pomona's much inferior D-Line. I bet the Running backs will reach 180 yards rushing and the passing game will be in the high 300's. 

Like i said this game will be over by the 4th quarter with Oxy keeping the drum.....

[RFB]

I was just responding to OxyBob throwing out Oxy's record since 2001. That is why I responded with Redlands success over Oxy for more than a five year period. My point is any team can be good for three years, ask Laverne. But what about success and longevity as a football program? If Oxy continues their success post Collins, I will be the first one here to eat crow. But I suspect that Oxy will come back to earth real fast as soon as he graduates. He is a special player and makes that much of a difference.

RFB...

If it will make you feel better, just remember, OXY's season will only be one week longer than Redlands if they get sent plane tickets to Portland for Round 1.
