PCH CUP 2011 - LMU down in flames

[stillalion]

I don't think the PCH Cup has captured the hearts of LMU or Pepperdine fans in the way that it was hoped but it has wrapped up again for the year with a crushing defeat for LMU. Final tally by my count is 12 points for Pepperdine and 6 for LMU.

Last year the final score was 14.5 for Pepperdine and 8.5 for LMU. (They have adjusted the scoring quite a bit from last year to this year.)

I don't know if they will continue this contest - but LMU certainly has a long way to go as an overall athletic program if we can't even come close to beating a school that isn't know for it's athletics (any more then we are.) Pepperdine is a national power in Tennis, so that will be a lose year in and year out, but besides that, there isn't any reason that we shouldn't be able win this contest. But, alas, we don't.

So, congrats to Pepperdine for the win. You have bested us once again. But, our mascot is better, so at least we have that going for us.

Haha, agreed. The PCH cup I don't think really caught on yet because it is so lopsied and this really is just the start. Hopefully the tradition will continue on and athletic acomplishments rise. It's the thought that counts I guess.

I think my favorite part is that last year we got 1 point for the Zappos shoe contest. This year - nope - no point for shoes. Just when I thought collecting shoes could be considered an athletic event they take it away from me. It's so confusing.

I do, in all reality, wonder if Pepperdine complained that we got a point for shoes. 1) I would love to have heard that phone call. "Um, yeah, I don't think LMU should get points for collecting shoes." and 2) come on, Really? You beat us last year by a nice margin, and you gotta take our shoe point away from us! Just bad sportsmanship I say. GIVE US SHOE POINTS!

Perhaps he avoids the low-hanging fruit ... or doesn't venture from the basketball forum (99.9% likelihood haha).
