Pat, can we get these guys their own room so they can throw GI Joes and Monopoly pieces at each other.  C'mon, guys, I'd expect to see that in a Tennesse/Bama thread but not here.

Oh, and Pat, nice suit today bro.  Good job promoting D-III!

To be honest, I don't think Eagle Rock or Redlands is all that nice.  Eagle Rock is improving, but when coming on the campus for games, I don't think that you really get a taste of the entire campus...right? 

Redlands Fan, I'm glad you get a good paycheck and that you have things to hang on the wall...   I think that you will enjoy the Pepperdine campus much more than Redlands or your game night stays in Eagle Rock.  If you think Eagle Rock is the ghetto, you are welcome to visit St. Louis anytime and I'll take you around to some places that would make both Eagle Rock and Redlands seem like the 310 area code, not 323 or 909...

If Oxy is able to stay close until the 3rd quarter, anything can happen.  I would have liked to see a home game as a reward for what we have done the past 2-3 years.

Does Oxy do their own radio broadcast? If so you might want to let your SID know. He has the Linfield radio station and computer link in the playoff story on the Oxy site. See Here

[OxyFan21]

TigerSports actually does the broadcasts on www.oxybroadcast.com

TigerSports, I hope you'll be making the trip? 

The main Oxy website tends to be a little slow...ha.  Well, not really funny.

You guys are all killing me.  I am an Oxy grad, class of '80.  I was on perhaps the worst Oxy team of all time.  I had the time of my life.  We never smelled the playoffs. I hosted the parking lot kegger when Oxy beat the Johnnies in '85 (I believe that was the year). Now, we make it two years in a row and everyone bitches?  How many teams can say they made it to the playoffs, let alone play the #1 ranked team?  Maybe Oxy loses, maybe they win, but to accomplish so much and get to play this game is something all the fellows on the team can cherish the rest of their lives.  I look forward to the challenge, listening to the game on the internet and know that the team will play their tails off.
These guys will have a blast.

 To all Oxy fans from the ASC South Region Board,

I know you guys are upset with the seeding? you got today.  Yes, I think you got the shaft today too.  Just remember it is not the first or the last time it has happened or will happen.  It has happened to UMHB four out of the last five years (the only other time we got hosed and did not even make it in).  In fact, as my son's post quotes below, it has become a "tradition".  Maybe you guys can learn from this post below and start a tradition of your own.  As UMHB showed last year by playing five top 10 teams in a row, it is possible to get to the Stagg Bowl anyway.   

"CONGRATS to all my boys playing for the CRU on a well deserved CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!   I couldnt believe the news when roocru told me last night.

If i was still playing, i wouldnt have it any other way but to play Trinity in the first round AT Trinity... it's a tradition now!  I have talked to a few players and they all feel the same way too.   Have a great week of practice boys and lets take that Black Flag from those Tigers again!!!"

Best of luck to all teams in the west and I hope UMHB is fortunate enough to see one of you in the semi-finals !!

Thanks, man. Sorry the bracket sucks so bad.

By the way, someone on this board reached a dangerous karma level and was eliminated. Liger Lover, you are the weakest link. Goodbye!

Scandi,

I was never too far away!

Looking forward to seeing two fine teams hook up on what looks a nice fall weekend in the NW.  The 'Catdome should be packed (5,000 fans plus) and ready to roll.

I know we'll be talking offense all week long but this game is going to come down to who's defense steps up. 

Linfield's defense has been excellent all year long and I think they'll be the difference in this game.

[tigersports]

Well, that post about the game being available on Linfield's internet is, shall we say, a bit of a slight, to say the least.  I was a bit disappointed that they didn't even talk to me before promoting Linfield's broadcast.  We traveled on our own dime to Colorado this year and to McMinnville last year on our own dime and, if we have to, we'll do it again.  We are planning on broadcasting -- just have to work out the details.  Go to www.oxybroadcast.com for more details.

Redlandsfan,
  this post is only a one time thing because I dont want to get into this big mess....but do you honestly think that redlands is academically superior to occidental?? thinking this is almost as insane as thinking redlands had a legit chance at a SCIAC title.....cmon buddy lets be real. if you go to collegeboard.com you can look at the facts....Redlands accepts 75% of its applicants! so pretty much the only requirement is a high school diploma and a heartbeat.  Your average SAT score isnt even over 1200. shall i continue? only 84% of the people that attend your school had over 3.0 in high school. How do you not get over a 3.0 in high school?? wtf is that..... you were better off attending a junior college. and thats really tight that you go to pepperdine or whatever...all jokes aside thats a great accomplishment...but even a blind squirrel gets a nut sometimes. how you ended up at redlands is beyond me (if you wanna get academically technical you would be what we call an "outlier"). ur so absorbed in ur own success that you dont realize that everyone else around you sucks at life. so really you can talk to liger about who was better at football, but when your talkin about academics, you should keep your mouth shut, cuz there arent many schools in the entire united states that youre academically superior to (maybe chico state, but thats a close call)

[areyouserious?]

something I forgot to add

occidental accepts 45% of its applicants
the average SAT score is above 1300 (somewhere around 1340 for this years incoming class i think)
96% of the students achieved above a 3.0 in high school
average gpa is a 3.9 maybe even a 4.0 for this years incoming class.

To be more specific about Redlands....
Average gpa 3.5
Average SAT 1164.

game. set. match.

TigerSports,

If you read Oxy's release, parts of it seem to be very similar to the release posted on Linfield's site minutes after the bracket was announced.  Hmmm...how dissapointing.  We can't even come up with our own wording?  I'm serious, Oxy can hire me as their SID and I'd do it from here in St. Louis.  To not even promote your broadcast, after all the years you have been doing BOTH football and basketball is a joke.  Mr. Holmes should know better.

Last year...they paid for you to go to Moorhead (Fargo), but not Linfield?  To that, I say...Are You Serious?

[OxyFan21]

PC,
I didn't see you on TV because I don't get ESPNews...but thanks for keeping this site up and I'm looking forward to reading your analysis. 

The west bracket is pretty crazy.  I would have liked to see another 1st round opponent, for sure.  To me, whoever comes out alive out of the West has the potential to blow out any of the teams for the other regions...Am I wrong for thinking that?

[criswyly]

I hope you guys realize that Oxy is going to be facing one of the best all time d3 football teams this weekend...welcome to the Catdome....of course that's just my opinion...a long time Wildcat fan.

Our first string defense has been giving up only about 7 points per game...and the the turnover margin is tops in the nation last time I looked.

OxyBob,
Jim Healy was always one of my favorites.  I still have a tape of his final broadcast.
