Out of curiousity, do you have some beef with Claremont? The #3 team in B Div will lose to the underdog Irvine? Then get blown out by the #1 Toreros?

Do you think Claremont is overrated or do you think USD is just head and shoulders above the rest?

Also, what's with the 8 goal loss for Cal against Stanford? I realize it's at Stanford, but why pick the only team with no wins over Div. A opponents and only one win on the year?

(P.S. Given your handle, I decided to let slip some of the goal differentials you had predicted for the Chico games, since even playing against Stanford, the team with the worst record in the WCLL, you only won by 9- certainly not by 18)

-St. Mary's won't beat Davis, Davis is better
-You obviously have not seen Stanford if you think they will beat Cal
-LMU won't beat Santa Clara by 8, SC is playing well going into playoffs
-You wish Chico will beat Cal by 15, I say 7

The Chico Cal game could not get rescheduled.

[Aaron Myers]

I can only comment on the teams I've seen this year so here it goes.


Chico over Davis by 6. Chico is playing good lacrosse as of late and Davis is still rebuilding and lacks big game experience on the field. Chico has alot of veteran starters.

St Mary's at Davis. Push. Both teams have been up and down this year. Davis has lost some close games while St Mary's has scheduled several B teams. Tip for the Aggies, put it on cage for starters, and let the goalie clear it on a save. He cannot make a good pass under pressure.


Cal over stanford by atleast 4. cal has a strong defense to compliment its ball control offense. Although young at attack, the bears possess a better matchup scenario in comparison to stanfords offense vs cal's strong defense and goalie.

SB over Chapman. Goto and Metoyer are great players but you need more than just two stars to beat SB. SB by 6.

Cal Poly vs Sonoma. Somona is playing great ball but Poly is looking to regroup after two tough losses. Look for this game to be a close one


Chico lax alum, your picks of LMU and USC over Santa Clara are ridiculous. USC vs SC should be close but Santa Clara will dominate LMU. The Lions are having an off year and will not be able to keep it close.
Santa clara over LMU by 6 and push with SC vs USC.(USC has played well as of late and Miller is a good player if he decides to take over.

[laxative]

USC has played well as of late and Miller is a good player if he decides to take over.

I am sure Miller appreciates the compliment and it is true, but he's been out since Feb. 26 with a knee injury.

[Hackalicious]

Out of curiousity, do you have some beef with shoulders
Also, what's with the 8 goal loss for Cal against Stanford? I realize it's at Stanford, but why pick the only team with no wins over Div. A opponents and only one win on the year?

Predicting an 8 goal win for a winless team is a little out of line, especially when Stanford has a lot of games where they haven't been able to even put 8 goals on the board.

Then again, sometimes big rivalries can bring out the best in teams. I wouldn't write either team off in any season.

[sohotrightnow]

Chicolax,

Have you seen any games this year?

Cal will beat Stanford and had Cal played Chico, the game would have been close. In addition, Santa Clara will handle LMU, Davis will kill St. Mary's and UCSD will beat SDSU by a lot more than 5.

[WaterBoy]

Now, now, everyone.

I didn't mean to start some big festival of picking on Chicolaxalum. I just meant to point out some small mistakes.

What's important is that we realize the meaning and intent of his message.


Team Someone vs. Team Someone-else (Someone by 5)
Team Nameless vs. Team Whoknows (Whoknows in a close one)
Chico State vs. Doesn't matter who (Chico by 236)
Team Doe vs. Team Smith (Does by 3)
Chico State 3rd team vs. NCAA AA team (Chico by only 23)
Chico State vs. God (God forfeits in fear before game)


(Tongue in cheek on this one of course)

Yeah funny guys, im not to familiar with with most of the so cal teams so there i admited it i might have been pullin a little, but regarding some of the nor cal picks, i dont think that cal has a good shot, and i think stanford has a better shot, regarding Davis, yeah they are not as bad as i put it, but hey above else, you gotta rep your team sorry!!!

[batman]

Chicolaxalum,

What years did you play?

On another note and judging by your avatar...maybe you should layoff the white russians while posting predictions like Stanford over Cal on the message board.

You obviously have not seen Stanford play this year. . . .

[laxfan25]

this just in!!! chico beats god by 1 in triple overtime

I'd be careful there! You don't want to end up in the Big Guy's penalty box! Especially if it's non-releasable!
