FB: Region 6 fan poll

[02 Warhawk]

Looks like I might be a little harsh on my alma mater. I have UWW the lowest at 7. Also, I have Concordia the highest at 6. I have the UWW/Concordia game still fresh in my mind from last year, I guess.

They have to earn back my trust 

[Mr. Ypsi]

Man, I had the Top 9 in order except swapping Linfield and St. John's. I also voted for George Fox instead of Monmouth.

I must be "Generic West Voter".

Not bad for a North Region guy!

I think the Redlands vs Cal Lutheran October 27th. will be a game to watch, since it's not only a rivialy but Playoff birth.

[OCguy]

Seems like no one is giving Chapman the benefit of the doubt about being defending champs. Hope they surprise some folks this year. 

[Hemingway13]

Oc Guy,
Chapman got undervalued during the preseason last year also, but their laudable Head Coach appears to foster a strong team spirit that lifts the entire squad up a notch or two. Panthers have been my Redlands Dawgs most challenging SCIAC opponents in the last five years, and they don't seem to rely as heavily on transfers as has been the case elsewhere at times.


I anticipate that the Chapman/Cal Lutheran game will decide the conference championship. Redlands has graduated too many stalwart defenders including SCIAC Dee Player of the Year, LB Mitch Shepherd.


Btw, I'm originally an OC guy too ........ Huntington Beach High Oiler (during the Punic Wars).

Much Appreciated & great to have another OC native on the boards!
Coach Owens and his staff do a great job of raising the level of play from their players. Guys who may have been overlooked on the HS or JC level come out and have great careers at Chapman...See Pyka from last year, guy was a beast.
Looking forward to both match ups with Cal Lu and The Dawgs. You guys always compete your tails off.

[D O.C.]

Hemingway 13... Were the Punic Wars before Mike Contreras?

BTW, you two love birds, the O.C. stands for Orange County.

[Hemingway13]

D O.C.,


Indeed, I went there before Contreras. It's soooooo far into the mists of time that one of my teachers was Cap Sheue, the widely respected coach in whose honor the HBHS football field is named.


Thanks for the headsup about "O. C."! During the Punic Wars, we had way more in common with guys in Venice and Belmont Shore, just a speedy drive up Pacific Coast Highway, than inlanders such as Buena Park and Orange. 


Cheers,
Hem

Still waiting on one more ballot. Hopefully I'll get the results posted later today.

Still room for one more if anyone is interested!!

[MiacMan]

Wow, no love for Bethel at all, while Simpson gets a vote?

[02 Warhawk]

Yeah, a little unexpected, but I'll let the people involved in those votes explain.....if they feel inclined.

Oh, no worries, just thought it was interesting. Thanks for doing this 02!
