FB: Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

DensLA:

Actually, the cheer was adopted at Oxy in 1905, having originated at Albion College in 1900.

Clearly, I have too much time on my hands and am avoiding work way too much.

Catnip...I like it!

As for the soccer field question, yes it is grass up at Linfield.

So, how many Oxy fans are headed north?  Hopefully more than last year.  It seemed like last year Oxy traveled to Linfield with fewer fans than any other playoff team in recent years.  It was surprising, especially because it is within a days drive.

But that is a damn long day rockcat. It takes me 10 hours and the Oxy folks have another 300 miles on top of that. Rotate drivers, drive safe, and have fun.

It's a very long day and half the night..

Road report A.M..  from the Rogue Valley headed north on I-5  to 7 Feathers next stop, (unless I see another nice "RANCH" first)..

Early morning line from Southern Oregon,  Cats 45, Skinned Tigers 17..

Go Cats...

fog and more fog, so Be careful ..

 Sitting back and reading the boards lately and I noticed a couple of things; Cal Lu got screwed, Oxy got screwed, and with Redlands new work on the facilities they can compete for best overall in D3.
  The only way for the SCIAC to get more than one team in the playoffs is either Oxy goes up and beats the Wildcats or someone in the coference beats an OOC that is worth a damn.  Other than that, the West Champion will win the whole thing if it can survive.  There are three or four teams that would win the title if they played in other conferences.
 Azuza would be a great fit for D3, but the NAIA does not want to lose any of the GSAC schools because they are the only SoCal schools.  It is just like why the NCAA tried to get Redlands to move to D2 ten years ago, they wanted a Southern Cal football program.  Go SCIAC on Sat.  The only championship the SCIAC will win this fall is in Redlands H2O Polo.

Oxy fans,
  have a safe trip to the Catdome.  If you arrive early, come tailgate with us we will be about 2 blocks south of the field.  Look for the Linfield flag and motorhome

[Tom Brady]

Bulldog- What kind of upgrades are they going to be doing at Redlands?  My suggestion would be to put the school/stadium somewhere besides the "beautiful" city of Redlands

[Tom Brady]

Don't worry, it was all in good fun.  Seriously though, what kind of upgrades are they going to be doing?

OXY got screwed? How? To be the best you need to play the best........

[DawgHeaven]

Oxy got screwed solely because they have to travel in the first round.  Not because they have to play Linfield, they would have had to anyway.  To be the best you have to beat the best.  Secondly, Redlands has the best facilities in the SCIAC and possibly the nation.  Linfield has the videoboard, but Redlands has hot water in the showers.

I'll give that one to you. Maybe they should have deserved a home game. But, UMHB deserves a home game as well. It will be fun on Sat.

[RFB]

Redlands has great facilities, but not best in the nation. Currier gymnasium is ok but I have seen better high school gyms. Redlands definitely has some of the best facilities in the West but a new gym should be next on the list. As far as fooball venues I would say Ted Runner is in the top ten.

I guess the Redlands SID feels the same way since he uses a road game photo at SJU as the main picture of Redlands football site instead of the glory that is a Redlands home game.  

btw can you really claim that if you have a 6,750 seat stadium that only draws about 1,650 a game?

[DawgHeaven]

First off, that is a great pic.  Second, the two high schools in town routinely get 8,000 people.  REV v RHS game and the REV Colton game.  Not to mention each team draws about 4,000 for other aditional games.  I said that they had top notch  facilities, I never said anything about attendance.
