Great PR for OXY and D3 football.....the recognition is well deserved!

[Browneagle64]

No worries brady-  ---What i was mentioning was the same thing that some posters were mentioning in that the defense seemed to show a little glitch in the first two quaters of saturdays game. I think tigersports put it well when he said that this should be a caution when the tigers get ready for the postseason.

Yet. on the other hand, i feel confident in that the defense will improve the glitches, bugs , mistakes just in time for the playoff. Thats all i meant.
Anyways, i could also guess that they guys from oxy were just busy and happy to have homecoming celebrations all week last week. I mean they all had a reception with legends like Jack kemp, Jim Mora , Ben Affleck and a lot of other teams that had tradition at oxy. (I was there myself).


Overall, though like i said the tigers will bounce from any little mistakes and take it all the way.They will prove a lot in this postseaon and in the years to come..

Go tigers

P.s. Goood luck to Cal Lu if they can get a bid into pool B or any pool to make it to the playoffs.

A person really has not taken in Southern California until he spends a nice July day at Hermosa Beach. Grab yourself a nice cold, frosty beverage and watch Baywatch in realtime.

Nice article on Oxy, nice to see DIII getting some love.

Browneagle,

Did I read correctly that you included Ben Affleck as an Oxy alumni legend? I think I might go puke now, the guy is a major hack.

[scandihoovian]

I thought Affleck was an Ivy league guy...  and RFB's assessment of his recent career is dead on.

The great thing about the Oxy article for those of you who don't get the print edition of the times was that it ran on the front page of the sports section, and ran with great photos that took up most of the page.  Definitely the Times feature sports story of the day - especially important given the fact that they've stopped running D3 game summaries in the print edition on Sunday mornings.

Bob-O, I wasn't refering to the OXY "O" as being sluggish, it was directed more at the D.  I believe I saw more than 400 yards given up to Pomona, 36 points to ULV.  Like I said though, I am not knocking OXY at all cause they obviously have a hell of a team, but when the Playoffs roll around, pretty much everyone has a solid offense, which from the way it LOOKS on paper (i have not seen it in person) might spell a lot of trouble for OXY.  Just my random thoughts, and like I said, I am not knocking OXY.

Also, I like RFB's idea about the beach and twins and all that good stuff.

I can't believe Jennifer Garner went from me to that no-talent ass clown Affleck.  I mean come on, didn't she see "Gigli" like the rest of us

Oops, it was desertcat that had the idea about the twins.  My bad, but all thoughts about the beach and twins and all that bring a smile to this guys face

Does anyone know when the next set of regional rankings come out?  Where's the best place to find them?  Seems like they're usually posted elsewhere first and then posted by d3football.

Scandihoovian,

Cal Lu needs to pull out all the stops and hang about 55 on Chapman this weekend. They need a blowout victory to be freshly sitting in the heads of the committee on Sunday.

You might find them here:

just a little before Pat gets a chance to post them. But usually he is fairly quick. Anyway, they typically are released sometime this evening.

Didn't Affleck only go to Oxy for like a semester?  I was actually talking about that last night with a few Oxy students.  I actually heard that Oxy did a whole story about famous students who transferred out of Oxy before graduating.  I think it was in their alumni magazine or something.

Desertcat, you're big on twins huh?   If I could get out of class and avoid my wife  learning of these twins that would be a great substitution for being at the Catdome on a rainy autumn Saturday.

RFB, go look outside....this is what I'm used to seeing at the beach in July back in Orygun.  It will be blazing hot in the Willamette Valley in mid-summer but when you get to the beach it is 62 and drizzling.

[OxyFan21]

Yes, it was in our alumni magazine at some point.  Depending on your political leaning, left or right, we can also be say that Barack Obama went to Oxy before transferring (to Columbia, I believe).

If anyone is willing to save a print copy of today's LA Times, let me know, I'd love to have a copy of it with the pictures.

Go Tigers.

[scandihoovian]

You may well be right RFB, I think teams in CLU's current position often have no choice but to try and put up big numbers where possible in order to impress the selection committee.  It doesn't generate warm and fuzzy feelings with opponents but they just have to deal with it.  I can remember a few times in the 1990's when Redlands had to put up some extra TD's in the days before the SCIAC got an auto bid.  It was a bummer when your team was the one they were doing it to, but I remember understanding why they needed to do it.

At any rate, I think the Kingsmen need to at least have the kind of strong showing (consistent effort & execution with limited penalties and turnovers) that they've had a couple of times this season and avoid going a little flat like they did against CMS and Whittier.  It would be a big step for the SCIAC to get two teams in.

...and thanks, D-Train, for the info on the regional rankings.  My manners escaped me momentarily - to the abject horror of my two scandihoovian grandmothers.
