FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[D O.C.]

All SCIAC games will be good practice for the Leopards as they have the snarl and hiss to have scheduled LINFIELD the next two years.

OxyBob...did you stumble on that football article while looking for your monthly Casper Milquetoast fix?

Have you looked at the roster?  Almost all the line are frosh and sophs and they are big.  Getting kids to stay around is a common problem at D3, especially if they aren't playing.  Looking at the roster, this shouldn't be happening to the linemen.

Yeah, unlike some teams in the SCIAC, we don't shy away from a tough non-conference opponents.

My point was we have had all Frosh and Sophs on the line the past three years.

There is a rumor that Selway may have yet another year of eligibility.

It's hardly a rumor. He told me that directly after the Oxy-Redlands game.

OxyBob...did you stumble on that football article while looking for your monthly Casper Milquetoast fix?

Peter King, who covers the NFL in his "Monday Morning QB" column in Sports Illustrated, mentioned the article:

Gladwell compares dog-fighting to football players suffering concussions, and it's a compelling, stark piece -- very good and vivid. His lead on Kyle Turley suffering a severe attack of post-concussion syndrome at a bar in Nashville is frightening and a great illustration of the problems "some" former players live with every day. You'll have to read the story to get the connection of dog-fighting to football, but the story is well worth your time.

Check it out, tough guy.

apparently he has had several so there was extra concern.

I would hope so.

Since it's Monday here and I'm 1) trying to waste some time and 2) depressed about all the serious talk about brain trauma and struggling programs, I've decided to become a bookie.  Here's the over/under for Saturday's game.

2. Self-promoting posts by Clayton Cardenas, extended family:

4. Redlands seniors that transfer to CLU this week to get a final shot at Oxy (minus Selway, he of infinite eligibility)

10

5. Cumulative 50+/Inside-the-20 punts by The Artist Formerly Known As Alex Groh

5.5

6. Amount of Oxy meal card money finagled by Haller from 90lb Frosh girls in order to "bulk up for this week's game" in US dollars:

Do you break knees?

[OxyBob]

Pomona over Whittier in a close one, would like to hear from the Poet posters on that one. 

Tough day for Whittier according to Roger Murray in the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin:

Failure to get points on five trips within the red zone proved costly as the Poets dropped a 15-7 Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference football game to visiting Pomona-Pitzer on Saturday afternoon. The setback also put a damper on what had been a day-long homecoming celebration.

Whittier turned the ball over on two fumbles, two interceptions and missed two field goals.

They also suffered a sack for a safety that capped the scoring.

OxyBob...I've decided to go with the latter choice costume for the game Saturday night.
I'll need your
a) orange Big Pumpkin tee-shirt with the Io tr.. whatever, on the back
b) two or three of your pocket dictionaries
c) the 'How to Insult People and Have It Go Over Their Head" pamphlet ( that neat little pocket edition)
d) one of your pen pocket protectors

Thanks a bunch.
(I'm with you.  I think Browneagle will just come up and start talking to you without knowing it's really ME!)

congrats on all SCIAC school's that got their W's this past saturday.

Secondly, I'll be on the Look out for that case of identity switch-a-roo old surfer dude. That would be really embrassing of me if i did start talking to you as if you where OxyBob. Thanks for the Tip.

Bob, sorry I missed you at the game on saturday.
Tooth, where the heck where you old tiger? I have yet to meet you. Glad to see former 00-08 Tigers on saturday at the Rock and at the after- homecoming celebration at a near by resturant at the Rock.

p.s. Here's to a great week of practice for Oxy. I hope the boys in Orange and Black stay focused starting today and build tons of energy for saturday's game at the rock.

[Mr. Ypsi]

Having the colors Orange and Black seems somehow unfair on Halloween!

[Nihon Tiger]

Do you break knees?

Only on cut blocks...

[Sabretooth Tiger]

Tooth, where the heck where you old tiger? I have yet to meet you.  

I was down on the pitch, watching from the westside so I didn't have to stare into the setting sun while hobnobbing with my old teammates and other Tiger family types.

[D O.C.]

...and Saturday? Where will you be?
