Let's take a hypothetical look how the Olympic Club will fare this weekend and how we would do in some of the other sports.
This weekend:
Men's Basketball: Since the NBA is not playing right now I assume Lebron is playing for NYAC.
Prediction: NYAC comfortably wins.
Men's Soccer (9:00am): Slight advantage NYAC if they bring ringers. I hope OC home field advantage gives them the win.
Prediction: 3-2 OC
Women's Soccer (11:00am): Advantage OC. Team is down a stud defender due to injury but should be able to out-score NYAC.
Prediction: 4-3 OC
Men's Lacrosse: I can only assume NYAC crushes the OC. East coast versus West. 'Nuff said.
Prediction: A lot - A little NYAC
Rugby: Sounds like both teams will have some recruits (ringers) playing so it should be a good fight.
Prediction: High scoring close game won by OC.
M&W Water Polo. If the OC does not win (we are in CA people!) then NYAC cheated.
Prediction: OC wins both (unless NYAC cheats).
Other sports:
Golf: We have a course and they don't, but I bet they have some members with pretty good sticks. Advantage OC but I bet NYAC would win.
Tennis: They have courts just like the OC but I bet they play more tennis. NYAC wins.
Handball: I hear the OC has a damn good handball team. I would assume NYAC is good as well, but I am going to predict an OC win.
Running: We have a pretty studly and rather deep team. Not sure about NYAC but I would assume they are solid since running is one of the few things you can do outdoors (cycling is tough in NYC). But we have Albert. Advantage OC.
Ski & Snowboard: OC
Squash: NYAC
Swimming: OC (no-brainer)
Triathlon: OC (no-brainer)
Cycling: OC (no-brainer)
OC = 11 wins
NYAC = 5 wins
But that only assume NYAC doesn't cheat.
Go OC!
