WBB: American Southwest Conference

[Ralph Turner]

McMurry fans and alums from the late 1960's, early 1970's will remember TLU Head Coach Katheryne Grahn's parents.



Congratulations to Coach Grahn on the Head Coaching job at TLU!

Coach Grahn resigned today.

What does TLU have to do to be competitive, they are horrible?

A big week coming up, with first McM and then HSU playing HPU in Brownwood.  Since all three have recently played (and beaten) UMHB, CUA, TLU, and Schreiner, I added up the numbers with the following (not unexpected) result:

HPU  +177
HSU  + 93
McM  + 90

HPU should have the edge, though a lot of those points come from the lopsided win against TLU (102-22, +80).  But when good teams meet, who knows what can happen?

It is hard to recruit kids to a losing program.  It is a hard road to walk.  If you don't win you can't recruit.  If you are not successful at recruiting you won't win.

How are all the nerves out there with the BIG match-up tomorrow in Brownwood?  

[dballa]

I'm surprised there isn't more chatter on here right now with the big games upon us.

I think the fans are more nervous than the players.  It should be a fun environment.  Definitely come early if you want a good parking spot and a good seat.

Stock up on the toilet paper!!!! I'm leaving work early tomorrow headed to B-wood with members of the family in tow.  Hopefully there will be seating for some of the visiting fans.  Heard on the radio, Brown County schools and their parents get in free......better save us McM faithful some seats. Who will win? Why of course a close game, I predict LIB on top as long as we play our game.  If not we'll see you next week at our house!!!!!!!

HPU has taken extra measures to make sure that McMurry fans will be happier on the toilets than they will be in the gym

Good luck, fanstand.  I hope you find the bathroom stall that has all of the toilet paper in it! 

[BBenthusiast]

dballa...I gotta tell you that I laughed out loud when I read your post!  

[fanstand]

Cute dballa. But looking at the picture I know the plumbing is not that modern and the lighting sure isn't that good! Ha ha.....but it might be good for HPU fans to find that restroom so they can wipe all those tears away after the game....

[mcmfan]

dballa,
When the NCAA sees that picture, they will have no excuse not to let HPU host a post-season sectional if they make it that far, unlike last year.  Forget the new floor -- TP is how you make an impression on the NCAA!

[dballa]

Sorry fanstand I guess their budget left out a waiting room for the bathroom.  But hey there is a hand rail there for you.  It makes it easier to sit down on a sore butt after the game

"HPU dominates first half in 58-46 win over McMurry"

That's the headline on the McMurry webpage.

Great win for the Lady Jackets.  HPU played a great first half.  The 2nd half McMurry turned up the intensity and made the game closer. 

McMurry only shot around 11% in the first half which I knew wouldn't last.  They looked tired and sluggish and like they weren't ready to play at all.
