In case anyone wants a word document printable bracket, here's one I threw together today complete with records of all competing teams.

Thanks KR  nice job..

Redlands Fan,
C'mon now, no need to stoop to his level.  As for me, yes I am too poor to fly from St. Louis to Portland, but I am trying to get all the funds I can so that maybe it will happen.

As for Redlands being a better academic school than Oxy, I think you may be mistaken on that one.

WC11 lives!!

I was worried you had gone on sabbatical or something...

Has anyone else noticed that Liger's posts tend to alternate between the rational and pre-pubescent irrational?

just wondering

As Linfield was Oxy's final game last year and the Wildcats are running essentially the same schemes, it'll be interesting to see what kind of adjustments Oxy can make for Saturday's game. I'm of the oninion that the Tigers gameplan well, so it might get interesting. And keep in mind that Oxy came out on fire in the game against Linfield last year, so they may have a legitimate chance at the upset.

No matter though, I know for a fact that a rematch with Linfield in their house has been on the Tigers mind for the past year and I anticipate a more mature and more experienced OXY team than last year to show up and play the game of their lives. Which offense is better OXY with 485 yds a game and averaging just over 41 pts a game or Linfield 472 yds a game and averaging 49 points per game? Collins or Elliot? well I think that  this will be a shootout to remember, and YES I think that Collins and the OXY offense are better. My prediction for the game....I know its early but I have been waiting for this all year.....OXY 49 LINFILED 48.

What both of these people are overlooking is that this is not the same defense OXY saw last year, it is much better!! And head and shoulders above any defense OXY has seen this season!

Hey Redlands Fan...your an idiot....

Sorry - couldn't resist.  Proper grammar has added importance when you're posting on a discussion board populated with graduates of some of the best small colleges in the nation.

[redlandsfan]

I don't think it should matter too much about spelling....I just sit here and type brother....my paycheck says I am a pretty smart dude!

Or maybe its my masters degree hanging on my wall.....

Or maybe its my acceptance letter into Pepperdines doctoral program....

Whatever it is I am legit!  And only 24!

Redlandsfan, my post was not in reference to you - hope you noticed that.

Preliminary thoughts on Oxy-Linfield:

Linfield is an amazing team - but they have yet to be tested and I think there's a chance that Oxy can catch them worried about the long haul through the West bracket.  The Tigers have to stay close into the second half - seems like last year they let their lead start slipping before the half and missed a chance to shake Linfield's confidence.

I think there is an advantage in having been there before, and Oxy certainly was last year.  They have to turn that into a confidence builder for themselves.

Oxy needs to travel well, not just the team but its supporters.  If I was an undergrad at Oxy I would be all over a road trip to McMinnville.  It's time for Oxy's student body to step up and act like they give rip.  If Oxy can bring even 300-400 fans they will at least have something other than the sound of their benchwarmers screaming when they score on Linfield's "bend but not break" defense.

Wow Redlands fan, they really do breed em dumb out there in the sticks.....You think Redlands is better academically than OXY? are you on crack? Maybe it is all that pollution that gets blown out to redlands that messed up your brain. Hey and if you don't think OXY deserves a home playoff game well then you can take your doctoral degree and give yourself a head examination cause you must have brain damage. And trust me the tuition is higher here than at redlands so obviously the money isn't that big of a deal.

Hey wildcat...like I posted earlier OXY and Linfield have similar stats and you guys played some joker teams as well so don't keep bringing up Colorado College...And didn't you promise me a hamburger?

[redlandsfan]

Oxy Bob,

All I know is the last time I played Oxy I beat them.  Now that I am a proud alumni, I still back my boys...but I personally Own the Tigers!!!  I went out on top..and so did the rest of the dogs that year!!!!

Hows that taste?

[redlandsfan]

LigerLover,

I bet your going to tell me that OXY's campus is nicer too?  To be honest your campus is a joke...and so is the ghetto neighborhood around your school!

[LigerLover]

we live 5 minutes from pasadena....and dodger stadium....and staples....and the rose bowl....20 from the beach....and on and on and on....The biggest thing going on in redlands on a saturday night is which pig to sleep with. And how many play-off games you win there Redlands fan ? You probably have some big redlands ring that doesn't mean squat, so go look yourself in the mirror and re-evaluate your life you loser.

[redlandsfan]

Dodger Stadium?  Oh yea, its a beautiful!  You might be 5 minutes from this, and 5 minutes from that...but Eagle Rock is still a crap hole......

Oh yea....and your an idiot

[LigerLover]

well I guess Redlands is nicer than eagle rock if you like farm animals.... you are just one happy little camper

[RFB]

Redlandsfan,

Just ignore Liger, no need to get into a pissing contest with him. Both Oxy and Redlands are fine academic institutions, no need to argue this point. Good luck to Oxy this weekend, they will need it.

[redlandsfan]

Your right RFB, I just dont like people who are scared to compete against the big boys...crying because you did not get a home game is really bothering me....

I hope Oxy wins, but when Liger tuns in to listen to the game via his computer I hope the speakers blow out so he can't hear!
