It is great to see Danny Jones on the front page.  IMHO he's one of the best QB's we've seen in the SCIAC over the last decade.  Andy Collins deserves all the recognition he gets, but it's nice to see Jones get his due props as well.

Awesome coverage on Cal Lu being pick for team of the week, along with Jones as the main player. 

If they keep this up, the Oxy-Cal Lu game will have to be a western region game of the week that no one should miss. To bad Jones and Crew couldn't get it done last year at the Rock. Can't wait to hear, though, how a humble and smart Q.B. like Collins shows up at Mt. Clef and makes this one of the biggest game of his final year at Oxy.

In honor of the blue crew's apperance in the MLB playoff's:
Oxy goes to Redlands, hears GuN's and Roses "welcome to the jungle" blasting from the loud speakers,  comes out with a strong flow and CAlls it "GAME OVER" by the 3rd quarter. (HaHaha, i know i'll hear crap about this. Oh well....)

Congrats to CLU and Mr. Jones...what a great performance.... it's great to see a local kid get good pub. 

Man...my k rating goes up and down more than the stock exchange!!!!!!!

I am really excited about Saturday and hope it will be a great game W or L.......may not be bringing the RV but will still tail gate and bring the goodies....

GO DAWGS   GO DEEP.....dawg gone it!!!!!!!!!!!!

New CLU unis... eh. Go back to the Vegas Gold and Purple. Looks more royal.

On another note- ouch it's a rebuilding year. I think the frosh need some growth hormone or something.
Didn't think it would be a W, but certainly thought the performance would be better. However... the "ifs" I wondered about, no chance. Poor calls and selection, poor execution, and poor schemes. Will say there were a couple year ending injuries in Thurs. practice and obviously the players filling in were not ready. Also, the O suffered from the OC being replaced post UPS. Obviously the change didn't help.
DId beat the spread the blog was so generous to give. Still, not worth my $5.
On the upside, Collins had more incompletions than last year. And I am pretty sure the scrubadubdubs v CMS would be a thriller of a game. Hope for the future? Yes, experience and the Tijuana pharmacy will help big time.
Sidebar- GET NEW/MORE LIGHTS. Pretty please?
Sidebar 2- Oxy dance team needs to work on their timing. Not all in sync with each other.
Sidebar 3- For the sake of school pride and dignity, I wish it was permissible to throw objects from the stands in the direction of our own "cheerleaders." I've seen better at pop warner games. Truth be told, some, in the past, have been from Pomona. They do it for PE credit. Ouch. My pride. Oh well. I don't think DIII will ever compare to the girls of the SEC or Jenn Sterger and the FSU girls. Thank God for internet access via blackberry. Those girls are the only thing which make the afternoon and evening hours tolerable at work.

oh cute. my karma is dropping. guess now is the time to short it.

ECS-

CLU's new colors, in part at least, are due to the standardization of logos and colors as a part of the new "branding" initiative.  I like the new unis, but I liked the Vegas gold as well.

[EastCoastStag]

Scand,
I figured it was a move by the school to move to a cohesive scheme across the board for all teams. Nice call. I'm just prone to the Vegas over the Yellow Gold.
However, nothing will be as bad as the old CMS unis which were literally used game unis from USC. The new ones are a vast improvement.
As for UniWatch, I vote that Oregon brings back the flourescent yellow unis. Those were amazing.

On the uniform front I dont think anyone has a worse color scheme/uni's than Whittier! Yet as far as who has the most basic uni's and could use a little something extra, I gotta go with Oxy. While Oxy did just get new uniforms in 2003, they are clearly the most basic and simple uniform ever made.  The only flashy thing on them is a tiny orange O just under the collar. Just recently did the entire team get a pair of new age game pants that are strechty and not that tough cotton that tears in the crotch if you stretch far enough.  Wildolff is still holding out on the helmet decals, I guess thats what you get with and Old School Coach.

New CLU unis... eh. Go back to the Vegas Gold and Purple. Looks more royal.

I'd agree that I like the old uni's better too, sometimes changes gotta be made though.

Sidebar- GET NEW/MORE LIGHTS. Pretty please?

We did.  There was a TV/movie (I forget which) taping last year that replaced a good deal of the lights for us.  A vast improvement on past years, but I am in agreement that more would help visability on the field.

[dawg gone it]

Regarding CLU's uniforms.....I thought they were donated by the LA Lakers.


However, I like them.   I have to agree about the Whittier uni's thow....ugghh.

[RFB]

I like Cal Lu's new uniforms. Oxy's could definitely use some updating. I would like Redlands to go back to maroon pants. Nothing looked sweeter than all maroon at home.

[dawg gone it]

Redlands has a very proud football tradition, the current players need to call upon that tradition this week in their preperation for Oxy.  If they play with the pride and intensity like they did in the last game AND, eliminate the turnovers, I think it will be a competive game. 

Some are saying that the game lacks the significance that it did at the start of the season before Redlands went 0-3.  I disagree.  This game is the season for the dawgs....they know it and will come to play.  I hope it's a great game.

[Browneagle64]

Alright October Madness starts today

Same goes for Oxy, in that, "This game is one of the biggest in the 2006 season" for the Tigers....they know it and will go to play at the Runner on high cylinders.

Back to MLB playoffs and patiently waiting for Saturday's Oxy-Redlands game. Good thing i still have Baseball to keep me sane.

Good article about Redlands facilities and those behind the scenes who take care of it. I played with Kelly Cooper, great guy and very deserving of the praise the article brings.

Eye-
The simple scheme isn't bad for Whittier. Simple is good- Penn State, ND, etc. However, it is that terrible jersey stripe on thehome unis that doesn't match the pants. Personally I'd go Purple home top White away top with Purple, White, and Yellow pants so they can mix and match. Either that or contact Nike and get the Oregon uni designers down there to spruce them up. That armoured look could be cool? Yeah and I'm sure we all want to see the gas prices of July again as well.
Oh well.
Last uni comment. The use of helmet decals on only one side of the CMS helmet. WEAK.
Although if anyone is up for a laugh, check out the webvideo of the UK CMS scrim. The UK helmets will make anyone laugh. A union jack as a helmet logo- priceless.

As for the Oxy Cal Lu game, where is it this year? I live in West BumF*ck California and would prefer not having to drive all the way across LA County to watch the battle.
