Was wondering if the Oxy scrimmage with College of the Canyons went OK, I heard that the Canyons were tuff on them but heck they would usually be tuff on alot of D1 schools, anyway what little info I got was hear say so I don't put alot into it, anyone watch the scrimmage Friday? Watched Cal Lu at Santa Barbara, CLU looked good in some aspects and a ways to go in otherĀ  parts of their game, Man that SBCC statium is a nice venue, well worth the drive, was good to see the kids out there playing and no major injuries on either side.

Oxy looked fine on friday. Tough to measure how well they played just based on the talent College of the Canyons had, which was unreal.  But the offensive timely looked great and the defense reacted well. Should be well prepared for the season opener against Chapman. The new field turf is amazing as well.

College of the Canyons?  You mean J.J. Arrington's old stomping grounds?

I was just looking around on the College of the Canyons site and found this link with pictures of the scrimmage against Oxy.

Is Oxy really that good or is it hype?

Not too much Redlands talk this year are they down?

La Verne?

obviously, they "won." why would a C of C photographer take pictures of Occidental players to be posted on a C of C website? Common sense?

C of C did win. But only by a touchdown late in the fourth quater. Overall, the game was really a tune-up for two good teams. Both offense on each respective team did their part. Co C offense did fine. Yet, You would expect that coming from an O. Corridinator that work at Oxy a few years back. Overall, both defensive teams were just as good.

SO besides that, In my opinion, oxy looks like they are ready to go. They should do just fine in the S.C.I.A.C. and repeat their goals.

I must agree that the field turf at the school is really a beauty. Especially, during this heat wave in Southern California.

The field turf does look nice......except for the bright soccer lines mucking up the surface.

Go Tigers!

It sounds like Oxy should be ready for the opener. There should only be a few spots to fill from people graduating. Anybody know the score from the scrimmage with C of C? I was wondering if it was all offense, all defense or a balance of the two.

It looks like one more week until all the exciting games start for the S.C.I.A.C teams. If this is wrong, let us know who will be playing this weekend.

Anywho's, hopefully all the teams are tuning up and not milling around like sheep for their first games.  I hope all the camps across the league went well. What are your predictions for each 1st game played by the S.C.I.A.C schools?

I say ULV gives it to PP pretty good this year.  The games have been close the past few years but the Leps have too much talent coming back this year for the Hens to keep up with 'em.  ULV wins 31-7.

Oxy had some run in the LA Times today

When Small is Big

Excerpts:

---Occidental officials distributed Elite Eight rings to commemorate the playoff run, but Tiger Coach Dale Widolff says he doesn't worry that his players will get hung up on past accomplishments.

"We've been locking them up and saying, 'That's last year. Let's worry about this year,' " Widolff said.


---Widolff said Occidental didn't want to schedule Azusa Pacific because Azusa Pacific, unlike Occidental and other Division III schools, can provide some scholarship money to about 50 players, allowing it to attract Division II-caliber athletes.

"It's kind of a different animal," Widolff said. "They would be very, very tough."

Thanks for posting the article, Wildcat.

It cracks me up that Azusa wants to boohoo about the fact that SCIAC schools no longer want to play them.  That should have been readily apparent to them when they made the decision to start pumping serious money into their program during the 1990's.  I know there's an argument to be made for seeking strong non conference competition, but not at the risk of suffering costly injuries at the hands of an oversized opponent.
