Quote from: olddog on September 30, 2025, 10:52:19 AMOk, lets get this over with. UR's loss to the Regals....The O line, ...you owe an apology to the team...That was brutal, I did not see very many linebackers get picked up blitzing, and even one on one, you all got your butts whipped. Cal Lu's game plan was simple, linebackers read the RB on running downs (flowing, qb wont beat us running)  and we are bring 5 most of the the time on pass plays..Net result no first downs in the first half..embarrassing. The masters of the "look out" block...I can not sugar coat it, made me sick to my stomach.

Defense, no shame in your game...Defense is really good, just can not play all night with a short field. A couple turnovers per game is all a HC can ask for..

Chapman will boat race us if we can not block ...

If you insist on calling CLU the Regals, then what does it say about Redlands football if they lose to a girls team?  You are better than that Old Dog

Quote from: that guy 31 on September 28, 2025, 01:19:17 AMI was at Pomona vs CMS. The rain was pretty bad for much of the game. Neither team is as good as they have been for the past few years.

Pomona lost their QB right before halftime and the guy who finished the game was the 3rd stringer. Pomona has a stud DL in #97 who impacted the game in a major way. He was in the backfield all night and forced the fumble for a TD late. They don't have a RB, the quarterbacks are their run game and they don't get much out of it. Their WRs are down from what they have been. Olsen didn't play and didn't play last week either so he must be hurt. He would make a difference on the outside. Their OL is smaller than they have been the past couple of years. This is much more similar to old school Pomona. They are small, they are super scrappy, they are tough and well coached but not a lot of athletes jump out at you.

CMS can't run the football at all. They tried to run mostly stretch and outside stuff and they couldn't get the corner. They don't get any movement. Really a big departure from the kind of run heavy teams they have had in recent years. They were able to throw it effectively late in the game but it was too little too late. They have a good defense, super well coached and they tackle well but not dominant. The 44 kid is all over the place at LB and they have some secondary guys who can cover. They'll need to get way better on offense if they're going to be anything other than a spoiler.

Redlands meanwhile gained 117 total yards and got thumped by Cal Lu. Great win for the Lutherans who appear to have had quite the defensive reformation. I'll see myself out...

punny!

Well, I think that CLU beating Redlands is more a reflection of Redlands down, than CLU up.  CLU struggled to beat a BAD Pacific Lutheran team.  However, as a result, ALL you Redland guys need to call them the Kingsman (Not Regals) for the next 12 months.  Chapman is cream of the crop, La Verne bottom dweller, and a mosh pit for the rest.

Quote from: olddog on September 09, 2025, 11:44:10 AMWorking on a theory ....as to why CA D3 teams are not better...as I always harp, it comes down to linemen
AZ dropped JC ball, Oregon and Washington do not have JC programs...AZ has club ball and Washington does too.

My premise is due to Junior College Football in CA it hurts SCIAC schools ....There are 67 junior college teams playing football in CA , and the upper half play at a very high level, somewhere between D3 and D2 in my opinion. When I played my ex mates that went to local D2 schools said our JC team would have beat them or it would be close. We had a couple part time JC guys end up starting in D2 and D3 levels too. There is talent here, it just does not make it to the SCIAC

CA Population 39.6m, used to be 40+ but guess who has run folks out...So for every 600k of population there is a JC team playing football, with the majority of kids coming from CA. Now not every JC kid can get into a CA D3 school, but I know for a fact UR loses kids to JC that have visions of playing D1 despite not having the tool box plus school is virtually free. I would just guess from known local HS players and a few JC head coaches, there are 10 to 25 kids on a JC roster that could have got into a SCIAC school,...So SCIAC schools like UR,LV,CLU,WU, and AP...could easily grab a couple more linemen...that would really bolster their program. What I am seeing any kid that has some good size test the JC market...unlike the Midwest, and our rival LF to the north.

So I would agree with almost everything, except some of the top tier JC programs would beat most D3 and D2 programs.  They have elite talent without the academic grades, so these studs who F-ed around in HS go until they can transfer to D!.

Quote from: olddog on September 04, 2025, 04:48:46 PMThe coaches picked UR just ahead of LV and CLU. Its very early but deserved. Here is what to expect. Defense will be strong again. Looks like three or four all league type guys will be on defense. On offense with the new OC, expect an offense that is more complex for opponents, more sets, motion, quicker passes,...Having an extra coach has helped Good be a head coach, in short more is getting done. However the best O line will win the league, you have to be able to run the ball. So lets see which team emerges as to having some dudes. It looks like the league could be down this season, but this is why they play the games.

On a side note, George Fox game report says we have a new JC qb, we will see at game time.
I agree about the team with the best offensive line will win SCIAC.  Cal Lutheran does not have an offensive line coach?  The says a lot about the commitment to winning. 

The heat appears to be breaking a bit in the IE, so it will be a cool 86 at kick off, on the best turf in CA.

Quote from: 10Freeway on July 25, 2025, 12:06:54 PMChapman has promoted their OC to Interim HC.

Chapman Interim HC

Chapman is the most attractive job in the conference in my opinion, and the best they could do is promote an interim? That's how you get a Jim Good type coach to sink your program.

When you take into consideration how short notice they had to fill the head coaching job, an interim-H.C. is to be expected.

They had plenty of time. Lewis & Clark hired Brett Elliott from Linfield in a similar amount of time, so don't buy it.

So Bob retired in early May and we are in July and that is plenty of time?  OK?  Either way, this guy has been with the Panthers for a dozen years, so he is qualified for an opportunity.  Just one Chapman Alumnus opinion.  My son played at CLU.

Supplements,  hahaha 

Quote from: olddog on July 08, 2025, 04:40:47 PMTook a look at the pre-season schedules.

Chapman, has the toughest with Hardin Simmons (home)  and LF , any word on the coach
UR, I would put second with GFU and WW

The rest are very weak, LV has just one game and a scrimmage, CLU, PP and CMS ...I guess CMS in third...

CLU seems to like PLU and Puget Sound, but Southwestern was a bit more interesting

Quote from: olddog on January 27, 2025, 11:14:37 AMPat, in defense of RBF...I have been watching UR games since the late 90's....our O line play continues to decline.

I'm not disputing this point, olddog. What I actually wrote was different.

Pat, have you watched Redlands offensive line specifically this last season or two?

No, but I know there are many worse teams and I'm sure many worse offensive lines. Have you watched a lot of the bottom 25 teams play? There's lots of really bad offensive line so again, going to say that the statement that "more than half of those guys have no business playing college football," is unsupported by reality. There is lots of college football worse than Redlands.

Pat, as you know the SCIAC had Occidental and currently has La Verne, so the Redlands backers know how bad teams and Offensive lines are, since they play them yearly--and in La Verne's case, the only two wins this year.  I know you have to support the D3 athletes, but some teams and players do not belong playing.  I know that great programs like St. John's allows anybody willing to try to join the team and practice, so?

Quote from: 10Freeway on January 08, 2025, 11:07:00 AMPeople in the Midwest do not want to move to CA let alone go to school there.  That is the big issue even USC is dealing with currently.  California costs too much in general.

I hate to point out the obvious, but in agreement with you, people from the mid-west do not like the liberal education and attitudes in CA!

Quote from: 10Freeway on January 06, 2025, 12:47:00 PMWith the Stagg Bowl last night, will we ever see a SCIAC team make a run?  Oxy did 20 years ago.  I think some UR teams could have had they not had to play Linfield or St John's in the first round.  Better questions might be, will the SCIAC ever win a football playoff game again?

North Central and Mount Union are on a different level on the field because academic standards at those schools are not nearly as restrictive as most SCIAC schools.  Most athletes at those schools could not get into the Claremont schools, Chapman, ect...

Quote from: olddog on November 11, 2024, 07:43:06 PMCoordinators in SCIAC

Chapman, OC and DC, old as dirt but good guys
CMS, OC and DC ...dont know them
CLU, website so crappy does not say they have one, Dr D ? Under Mac he had both
PP, OC and does not say HC is DC, but in the past, PP help us out
LV, OC and DC, yikes ....their recruiting makes zero sense to me
UR, DC, and HC is the OC ...

Under Mac, they had an O Coordinator (Lugo) and a Defensive Coordinator.
