Nothing wrong with free booze.

The one exception to free booze on the Claremont course schedule is a literature class called "Shakepeare's Comedies." When those students get together to study it's a no-host Bard.

No one goes to CMC to be a lit major. At least no one who wants to get the full experience.
Free booze would help a lit class.

[EastCoastStag]

Impressive. Seems all the teams this year have had a good haul. Haven't heard word about LaVerne, but otherwise, seems rosters are filling up with some talented players.

Bob,
I think you are on to something with the Shakespeare Comedy thing.  Regular readers of this board can relate to many of them in some way.

First, we have the obvious "Poets"

Than there are several of his plays that relate.

"All's Well That Ends Well" - Danny Jones - 2007
As You Like It.
The Comedy of Errors. - Oxy vs CLU in 2007
Love's Labors Lost - Pomona beats La Verne 26-21 in OT
Measure for Measure - good chain gang work.
The Merchant of Venice - hydrate
A Midsummer Night's Dream  - Our team will win in 2008
Much Ado About Nothing - WC11's rant to RFB about scheduling Linfield.
The Taming of the Shrew - OB tries to upgrade snoopy's posts.
The Tempest - Danny Jones controversy.
The Twelfth Night - The real games are about to begin.
The Winters Tale - Woulda , Coulda, Shoulda

My favorite : The Two Noble Kingsmen

Bollocks!
We all know that UoR is far superior to anyone else in the Top 25. They should be 1. Mount WHO? Redlands is the most dominant team ever to walk onto a football field. Not another team in all of DIII stands a chance.
Pure and unadulterated bollocks!

Now that I have that bit of sarcasm out of my system.....

Redlands HS > CMS

Couple things standing out from the Top 25:
UWW so high? Correct me if I am wrong (which occasionally happens from time to time), but they lost Beaver, among other starters. Now I know their academic standards are just slightly lower (note no sarcasm) than say UoR, so they are able to reload, but I seem to remember comments about how UWW was losing a chunk to graduation.
Case Western? Was last year a fluke? What are they returning to be ranked so high? I know last year they had a great run, but are they really poised for the same run this year?
Wabash loses Chris Creighton and keeps a high rank? I know the players play the game, but one must think there might be a slight fall-off with a new coaching staff.
Does Linfield make it back into the poll?
Oxy, after being there for so many years, how bad did the loss to the Poets hurt the Tigers? How good will they really be?

[Pat Coleman]

Case: Nine starters on offense, seven on defense return.
Wabash: Replaced Creighton with a coach with a very good background, 14 starters back.
UWW: Uhm, won the title and played in three straight Stagg Bowls.

A Whittier sighting in the Fort Meyers News-Press:

On second thought, it's FGCU
University may become 10,000 students strong

It's a do-over for some, an academic mulligan. For others, it's been their plan all along.

Whatever the reason, Florida Gulf Coast University is attracting a high number of transfer students for the fall semester - 875 as of Tuesday. By comparison, FGCU projects 1,850 freshmen also will hit campus for the first time.

By definition, transfers are students who have earned at least 12 college credits, equivalent to four standard classes, at another institution before seeking admission.

"My first school didn't work out," said incoming junior John Stewart, 22, an English major transferring from Whittier College near Los Angeles. "It was too small and didn't offer much.["]
...

I guess he didn't consider it a cultural advantage to be only 10 minutes from Pico Rivera.

it certainly is no Eagle Rock.

Why attend a small residential liberal arts college with over a century of tradition when you can go to a brand spanking new institution with 11 years of tradition under its belt with 10,000 students and growing every year . . . in that bastion of enlightened thought . . . southwest Florida?

Clearly a no brainer . . . and you can take that any way you wish.

[Sabretooth Tiger]

And speaking of Whittier . . . and Oxy . . . big congratulations to Peggy Carl . . . Whittier graduate and associate AD and head swimming coach at Oxy for the past 18 years for her appointment as the new athletic director at Beloit College in the MWC.

Nope, like the good "boys club" we are, we fully support discrimination against women; do not encourage their participation in campus life other than selected campus parties; and certainly would never encourage them to engage in sports-related endeavours when there is cooking, cleaning and sewing to be finished.
