A team's raw record doesn't matter as long as it is .500 or better, although there is some disagreement about whether they use 3 points for a win when calculating the .500. Santa Clara's record qualifies either way. And the coach's reputation doesn't enter into it at all.

I was thinking of Pepperdine a few years back 9 - 5 - 4 beat Santa Clara 2-1...Santa Clara went to the party.
Pepperdine didn't get the invite...just sour grapes from me :cool:
I'd like to believe reputations/politics don't enter in to it at all...but call me Thomas.
Good luck to all in the NCAA's

I have been in contact with parents of current players there and Commits. Its my daughters dream school with the Major that she wants. Journalism. So she is still on board if the new staff will have her along with the other parents I have spoken to. So we will see.

Good luck to your daughter. Smart of her to pick the school not the coach.

I like Pepp's chances. Cal lost 3-0 to St. Mary's this season. Plus, they are 3-3 in the first round of the NCAA tournament going back to 2010:

'15 - Loss vs. LMU 0-1
'14 - Win vs. SDSU 3-2
'13 - Loss vs. Santa Clara 1-2
'12 - Win vs. Pepperdine 1-0
'11 - Draw vs. Santa Clara 1-1 (Cal went on to win in PKs)
'10 - Loss vs. Duke 1-2

Santa Clara will get drubbed by Long Beach State.

I dont see LB drubbing Santa Clara.
I see a 1-0 or 2-1 game that could go either way.
I like Pepperdine at home against Cal 1-0

NC State could upset Minnesota.

The rest of the games are ho-hum.

I've seen both teams play multiple times this year. If Cal is motivated they will beat Pepperdine handily. If they sleepwalk through it then the Waves will win. I'm not sure about he LB State/Santa Clara game. Could go either way. Both teams lose focus for good stretches of games. It's definitely a toss up and could end in PK's.

Why would Cal not be motivated?
Its the NCAA college cup.
I think they'll be motivated.

What were Pepperdine and Santa Clara RPI back then?

Let's see. They may just be pissed at getting to go on the road to play a team with a lower RPI from a school outside of the Power 5 conferences. They will likely feel snubbed which can either serve to motivate or to feel sorry for having a road game. Stranger things have happened. We can bet another bottle of wine or sixpack of Dorado, Ruination or Habenero Sculpin if you are game. Just to be clear, I think that Cal will win.

They will be motivated, and Pepperdine is my pick.
I'll take that bet.

The "politics" is embedded in the requirement that every one of the 31 conferences gets at least one entry into the bracket of 64. That results in many teams with good records left out, such as North Texas (15-5-1) and South Florida (12-4-3)this year.

Muni courses are for the working man.

Hackers doesn't mean povertly level golfer. Hackers mean individuals who suck at golf.

There are a lot of good muni courses that are not considered hackers courses such as Arcadia Golf Course, El Dorado Golf course in Long Beach, Mountain Meadows Golf course in Pomona, Griffith Park Golf Courses, Rancho Park in Los Angeles, Brookside GC in Pasadena, then there are high end municipal courses such Torrey Pines in La Jolla.

I know my golf....I used to be a 6 handicap, before my kids started playing club soccer.

Torrey is a nice course. The views are pretty stunning on some holes. If you are a San Diego city resident it's also reasonably priced. They even offer junior clinics there on Saturday and Sunday for $80 a month or $20 for a drop in lesson for the day.

Gene Littler was a very small man and great golfer.
I had the pleasure of playing a round with his son, who is also a very good player.

Gary Player, also a little guy, but fit as a fiddle, and strong for such a diminutive specimen.
