Anheuser Busch?

[desertcat1]

RFB,

I love the AB reference!  I wonder how many members of the bandwagon in this room even know who AB is?

Yes , we do he is family  ... Go Cats.. And  do you remember Fat Harvey? 

[rockcat]

AB(Aaron Biglin) was the older brother of former Whitworth quarterback Scott Biglin.  AB was perhaps the dumbest poster ever to enter the site.  He would make crazy claims about how his brother was going to play in either the NFL or CFL.  He also talked serious crap during Linfield week.  Anybody who knows anything about Linfield vs. Whitworth knows that the Pirates can't buy a win against the Cats.  All-time Linfield holds the slight edge at 25-3-2.

AB was also known for not being able to spell anything.  His grammer was really bad too.  I probably looked forward to reading posts from AB more than anybody else because I would serious laugh out loud.  It was a sad day when he disappeared after I think the 2002 game.  That game decided who won conference.  Linfield won 35-0 and I think Whitworth's offense had the ball for maybe 1:00 in the first half.

After that game AB changed his login name trying to be sneaky but everyone knew it was him because he couldn't spell.  When he was called out he disappeared forever.

A funny note about AB...the biggest debate was whether AB was a real person or just someone screwin' around.  A friend of mine had a summer job doing promotions while we were at Linfield.  He was calling a list of people and actually came across Aaron Biglin of Tacoma, WA.  So, the mythical AB really did exist.

Don't forget Rockcat, AB said that he was going to attend the Linfield game that year,  As a huge AB basher I told him exactly where I would be (south endzone)  no balls by AB  he no showed us.  Don't forget that AB always always used caps.  What a dandy

I am glad that he flamed out

[Gray Fox]

Thanks, guys.  I remember his posts.

Only a few old timers to the SCIAC site will remember Jo Ryan.  He didn't know a thing but pretended to.  He was promoting some obscure new school to be part of the SCIAC.

He suddenly disappeared.  I think his school did also. 

I actually think Pat pulled his (her) posting rights.

Just a few obervations from the Cal Lu/Redlands game.  Both teams played hard and it was a good game to watch.  Redlands had the momentum the first half as Cal Lu struggled to find their rhythm.  Good opening drive with some great plays to open the game.  Redlands tended to have problems running the ball but they never quit.  #48 looked good for Redlands as well as a couple of the backers.  The punter for Redlands did a fine job and made some nice punts to put Cal Lu in a hole.  Cal Lu used a lot of folks on O as 4 recievers had 6 catches and their game plan seemed well balanced.  Charles Coleman WR for Redlands re-injured his knee and that hurt them I felt. Saras seemed to be hot and cold at QB.  Was wondering about Brown as he wasn't listed on the 2 deep line up but was still on the roster.  All in all it was a great day, (if you were pulling for Cal Lu) and an enertaining game.  Both teams worrked very hard and I thought Redlands showed a lot of class overall.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

As the season is almost complete I hope that every team is pushing their hardest to play some exciting football. I know that Pitzer was doing their best to show what they had. Even Whitter did their finest but couldn't get it done. Congrats to Cal Lu on their win. Seems like the Kingsmen Bounced back from and Won over Redlands.

Anyways, Its homecoming week at the Rock. I hope that this weekends game turns out to be fun. I should be fun and exciting to see legends like Jack Kemp or Coach Jim Mora, Ben Affleck (oops, he never played sports at oxy) and all the rest of the guys coming back.   Overall, Oxy will take this game to its highest and come out with a 48 --14 Win..

Go Tigers

More evidence that the SCIAC doesn't get the respect it deserves... Cal Lu is 6-1 on the year, with its only loss coming to Occidental.  They beat Pacific Lutheran, Redlands, and whipped up on Menlo (54-0).  In spite of this strong performance this season, they don't have a single point in the D3Football.com rankings.  They may or may not be a top 25 team... but they're good enough to be get some getting votes.

[Browneagle64]

Btw--- Thats some funny Stuff about the info on who AB was and that potentially there is another AB among this site.  In the end, i just hope everyone can keep this site civialized and aim toward just hearing about the fan's passion for d3football and what occured over the weekend.

Last thing, I do think and agree that Cal Lu should Recieve votes to go into the Pool B for the playoffs. THe kingsmen have done their part on whipping on some pretty good teams, eventhough, they mysteriously got lost when they arrived at the rock. Overall, i must say they are a better team than what they were expected to be. SO good luck to Cal Lu

[xfactor82]

Save it...I'm thinking OXY didn't go in 2001 after their IMPRESSIVE 3 point squeaker the last week of the season to 0-9 and now defunct Lewis and Clark failed to impress the NCAA.  Not to mention that the SCIAC hadn't won a playoff game in YEARS before last year.

That game against L&C was played the same Saturday that the first round playoff games were played.  We already had been past over long before we boarded a flight to play L&C.

[RFB]

Cal Lu is in a tough spot. They have some good wins but they will be passed over come playoff time. The SCIAC will have a tough time getting a second team in over the NWC. Whitworth is in the drivers seat to get in if they win out. Too bad for the Kingsmen but the Oxy blowout is going to hurt them.

[scandihoovian]

It will be interesting to watch the playoff selection process unfold, and I'm excited that the Kingsmen have an outside shot.  RFB is dead on about both the loss at Oxy and Whitworth being the primary competition for the additional slot.  The Pirates play two decent teams, PLU and Willamette, in their last two games - so an upset is not out of the question.  It also wouldn't hurt the Kingsmen for some MIAC or WIAC schools to get moved out of the region, although I have no idea how likely that is.  Regardless, CLU has two more chances to show its own team strength, and both Whittier and Chapman have played teams close this season, so I am sure neither game will be taken lightly.

Saturday's win was big, regardless of how the playoff picture works out.  Redlands played tough and smart - and took advantage of CLU mistakes (2 fumbles - one right through the back of the end zone from the three yard line) in the first half to forge a lead.  I was very impressed by the way that the Kingsmen shrugged off the first half mistakes and came out strong in the second half, moving the ball offensively and stopping the Bulldogs on a crucial 3rd and goal from the 2.  It was an exciting afternoon of football, although I know it was a disappointing day for Redlands fans, who to their credit, showed up in large numbers and really supported the Dogs.

Frank...you got an applaud from me on the 'Anheuser Busch?'.

Suprised that a veritable, venerable d3 staple such as yourself had a negative karma. But then...you, as I, probably do not care because negative karma is a non-entity.

The Kingsmen did get 1 vote in last week's AFCA poll, and they are No. 38 in this week's Don Hansen poll, in which Oxy is ranked No. 9.

With 40-some voters, the AFCA has a lot more votes to hand out.
