FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

This move affects 76 students on campus, 54 men and 22 women.  The choice of these three sports came down to competitive success, conference affiliation, available facilities, fund raising success (or endowment earnings), roster size, and recruiting success.  It was also critical to follow all applicable federal regulations.  This change actually will bring CC more closely into compliance with Title IX Gender Equity legislation, an important aspect of any decision involving athletic programs.

It's all Oxy's fault for clobbering CC consistently, and OxyBob's fault for pointing this out repeatedly.  Otherwise they would have dropped scholarship Ice Hockey.

OB, all Menlo games start at noon. Couldn't start at 7 p.m. as there are no lights.

Too bad about Colorado College dropping football. Myson was accepted there and was interested in playing football for them but eventually chose to play in the SCIAC instead. Colo Coll is a good school but never really had much of a FB team and their travel costs must have been brutal. With Colo Coll dropping FB that probably doesn't bode well down the road for struggling programs like Lewis & Clark.

It's nice to see that snoop dawg has become so thick skinned that he still comes in here every day and dings my karma...what a phony. Hey snoop it's cool go ahead and ding away...you're still a clown. With FB season coming up I amdying to hear all about your son playing for that JC FB powerhouse Pierce College.

SCIAC FAN..... If all you can do is come on here and rag about my son, you must have a really miserable life.  I feel sorry for you.  Why do you even care where my son is playing next semester? You seem to mention him in every post you make. 

Not that it is any of your business but, he has been contacted by many d3 teams and chooses to play at Pierce next semester.  So drop it.

I really don't care what you say or think about me.  I don't understand why you continue to bad mouth my son.  Get over it.

Just curious...how much eligibility does your son have left?  2 years? 1 year?

[snoop dawg]

He has 3.  He had a medical redshirt his soph year at UR.

There's a documentary called Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 which recounts the 1968 game between the two rivals in which underdog Harvard rallied to tie 16th-ranked Yale. Film maker Kevin Rafferty (a Harvard grad) intercuts original game footage with interviews of several game participants, including Yale tackle Bob Livingston (George W. Bush's roommate), Harvard guard Tommy Lee Jones (Al Gore's roommate), Yale fullback Bob Levin (Meryl Streep's boyfriend), and Yale quarterback Brian Dowling (who became immortalized as B.D. in Doonesbury). Rafferty also intentionally (or unintentionally, I couldn't tell) portrays the Harvard players as working class, blue collar regular guys up against their snootier Yale rivals, and Rafferty does take the opportunity to edit the interviews just so to make a few of the Yale guys look like pompous a-holes, which is quite amusing.

Chris Erskine wrote about the film in today's Los Angeles Times:

Yale-Harvard game documentary is subtly wonderful

Erskine also mentioned Quantum Hoops, the documentary about the Caltech basketball team, also worth seeing. If you get a chance to see Harvard Beats Yale 29-29 I think you'll enjoy it.

I didn't know that a player could get a medical redshirt because he and his daddy had bruised egos

[snoop dawg]

And you wonder why you get smited?

I know what happened, as soon as Whittier put CC on the schedule to replace Principia, they ran in fear and decided to drop the football program in lieu of playing the Mighty Poets .

Oxy has consistently clobbered Whittier, and I have repeatedly pointed out that Whittier is terrible, yet the Poets didn't up and quit like Colorado College did, which is a real tribute to the fighting spirit of Whittier, which endeavors to persevere despite not being any good.

Interesting observation coming from the king of pompous a-holes

Hello fellas!

Been so busy lately, have not been here or to the Oxy website to see what's up.

So . . . just for sh**s and grins . . .

+k to everyone on the page (770) . . . including stealth, for good humor, good information, and good community . . . EXCEPT for SCIAC Fan who I smite for being churlish and not just letting it go.  Lay off the man's son for crying out loud.

Really sorry to see that CC is dropping the program . . . things are tough, budgets are a nightmare . . . I hope I'm wrong, but would not be shocked to see more of the same.

gotta get back to work,

We are going after Lewis and Clark next!!

Please don't!

We walk on NWC eggshells as it is and our fragile egos cannot withstand too much.
