PitDawg-

If you're right then props to Pomona, but I think most of the board will be shocked if the Leos don't roll the Hens.  A Pomona win might make a lot of folks re-evaluate LaVerne...

I'll add my own prediction:

ULV 31, PP 17

[Browneagle64]

I also think this game will be won by U.L.V  around the same score that others are predicting.  The hens are making changes that will take them to the bottom of the league this year. That's just my prediction.

21-14.

I gotta go with the flow and pick the Leos 24-14 but that might be too close, LaVerne is gonna surprise some folks this year.

PP leads 7 to 6 over ULV at the half.  La Verne sounds like they are playing really uptight.  Lots of dropped passes.  PP only has 7 so the D is doing pretty well.  It's hard to tell whats really going on though because the KULV radio team sucks!!!

[CarloRossiLep]

Either the PP redzone defense is awesome or the ULV redzone offense is garbage!!!

[CarloRossiLep]

ULV wins a sloppy one 20 to 17.  Not that impressive but they got it done.  I am PUMPED.

Hail to the ORANGE!!!

Sounds like the Leos backed into this one and was hard to get a feel for which team played well, if either one, but its early, just tuff being a league game that early in the season, kinda starts you out in a hole.  I see Menlo lost to McMurray, 40 - 30, and Menlo showed some offense, but defense broke down, only reason for mentioning this is several SCIAC teams play Menlo, and they are slideing into the NWC this year.

Twoducks,

You have old info - most SCIAC schools won't play Menlo anymore - this year, only Whittier will play Menlo.

Redlands looked good in their schrimmage.  Looks like it might be hard to run on the front 8 this year, it was nice to see some guys a bit more active and running around.  The secondary had issues at times, the players were in position to make plays, but didn't.  I am sure the boys will iron that out before making the trip up to the pacific northwest this weekend.

Good luck dogs!!

rbaikie-

CLU plays Menlo as well, hence TwoDucks interest in the Oaks.

It will be interesting to see how Menlo's venture into the NWC plays out.

[rbaikie]

sorry - missed that one -

I thought last year was the end of that contract

[paohca]

The California Lutheran University Kingsmen of the Great City of Thousand Oaks Ca.beats the Pacific Lutheran Lutes of Tacoma Wash. 31-20 in a Hard fought battle.Coach Scott Squires has the men ready to play  ball 2005. Be there for all the action and check out all the construction going on at the "North Campus".When finished will be one of the finest sports complexes in all d-3 sports.

rbaikie, yea I know the Oaks are going to the NWC next year, I thought there might have been a couple more games but for me its kinda like a home game as Atherton is only a couple hours away and an easy drive to see Cal Lu play,  I also am wondering if the Oaks can compete with the kids up north, my idea is maybe middle of the pack but not at the top or even close.
Redlands Fan, how is Charles Coleman looking so far, hope the kid has a great year for you guys, keep your good eye on him for me please, and good luck.

[rbaikie]

About the OAKS competing n the NWC, I think for the most part, they will be middle of the pack. They tend to be kind of cyclical, so probably ever couple of years, they might contend for the #2 spot, but also every couple of years, they will probably be in the bottom of the league.

I have been watching Menlo football since 1970 or so and they haven't ever been able to build a program that consistently wins 7 or 8 games a year. Over long periods, they have a winning record but it tends to hover between .550 and .650.

Maybe with the stability of being in a league and playing a number of teams year in and year out might help to strengthen the program. Being "isolated" in Northern California has made it tough to get consistent opponents. Throughout the years since turning D3 (early 80's), Menlo has played everybody in the SCIAC and there once was even talk about becoming an associate member, but that bombed out. I think it was because the SCIAC schools didn't want to be locked into a trip to Northern Cal once every two years. They wanted to be able to choose their long trips.
