FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[Gray Fox]

The Willamette-CLU game should be entertaining. "The Fly" offense run by Willamette is fun to watch with all of the misdirection. Weather forecast is sunshine and 76°F. Simply perfect. CLU will prevail at home.

Sounds like Willamette's Starting QB (the guy who can run well) may be out this week which could signficantly limit the Fly's effectiveness which should further shift the advantage in favor of CLU

Suck it up or phone it in.

Iowans are pasty white and California's are burned out pot heads

Wait, what were we talking about?

We were talking about this, with which there is apparently no dispute:

The Dubuque fans will enjoy some California sun while watching their team get thrashed by the Bulldogs.

OB...Love the line about the pizza.  Glad we can all take part in a little fun.  I heard when the UD fans get off the plane you will smell a stench of pig crap.  I also heard they are bringing their own bandjos to play the UD fight song.  Lastly I heard they are going to ask where the nearest Piggly Wiggly is so that they can get some more luggage

In regards to the game I think you will see a strong UD team come out there.  They have a lot of talent and could make some noise.  I am not going to go out on a limb and say they will win, but I doubt a thrashing.  There QB is going to be a good one.

From the Stealths to all of the SCIACs. Good luck and good health to all this weekend. CLU/Willamette should be a fun one.
Regards to all.

My synthesis:

Since Claremont and Pomona are both playing at home, and both games start at noon, you can enjoy the always unique experience of being able to watch two games at once by walking the 100 or so yards between Merritt Field and Burns Stadium.

UNLESS...you can't see the 100 yards because of

the unique Inland Empire blend of agricultural pesticides, manufacturing by-products, and most of SoCal's (LA County) smog - which gets blown in every afternoon.

Yeah, because they don't have the sun in Iowa and people are never outside there during the summer.

Photographic proof:

"This is before we got fried by the sun; our pasty white Iowa skin was not prepared."

I also recall when Iowa came out to play Washington in the Rose Bowl. Never in history had so many skim milk-colored thighs in plaid shorts congregated in one place at the same time.

Shockingly, the weather in Iowa is different in December/January than it is in August/September, OB.

I was in MN on Saturday and had to buy and apply sunscreen!  Oh yeah, and I was outdoors (just in case you thought I was at one of the tanning salons ).  Imagine that. 8)

I didn't see any plaid Bermuda shorts, either - although Minnesotans do have better taste in clothes than Iowans so I can't really dispute OB on that point.  (I remember walking around the old Huntington Hotel in Pasadena when the Big 10 teams were in for the Rose Bowl; it made me absolutely nostalgic for the midwest.)

Kilted Rat wears plaid. 8)

Let's not rip on plaid here folks. I have a pair of plaid pants which are my absolute favorite.
But I must say, those plains state and upper midwest people are pasty. I can say this as a sibling moved there and now blends in with the snow.

That's it we use it for camo in the winter.  That way you can't find us.

Absolute indisputable evidence that you did, in fact, go to Claremont.

My law school roommate went to Claremont and, aside from his Deerfield shirt, his madras plaid bermuda shorts were his favorite item of attire. 8)

Dear EastCoastStag:

I completely understand how you feel. Plaid was my favorite color, too.

Now that you put it that way, OB, I like plaid - A LOT!  Good 'ole Lindsey ("We now move on to further action ... ")

[MonroviaCat]

Heck, I read that whole CLU article looking for a mention of Plaid and nothing.  Are you back to Football already?

Nothing about plaid, only CLU's checkered past.

It started with all-conference senior quarterback Danny Jones transferring before the season and ended with a pile of health insurance bills.
