yea, i watched the game. 16 and 16 doesn't just happen. looked like both Joey and Oscar got the message. I don't think Berry is very good but they are the same as Oglethorpe, Sewanee, and Bryan. bout time they did something. Oh well, they have not entered conference play and if they got the message that you have to go out and take it, then they could still win their conference.

I have not taken my paper bag off yet, I will wait till they have a winning record.

So this is how the football team made people feel all those years...
Ouch.

Yes. For years we denied murvul had a football team. Much like we have been doing with the basketball team the past few weeks.

Fortunately the basketball coach has been to the tournament more than once and there is always the conference tournament. These guys might go through puberty soon and then they will be fine. They will be playing as good as Coach Hernandez's hair looks.

But his hair looked that way last week, too. Or maybe you were not suggesting a relationship....

Can sophomores go through puberty? The juniors seem to have at least entered it.

I think Coach Lambert finally may have said the right thing to them, but I'm sure they've heard whatever he said more than once before in over 2+ years of being in the program. Praying it's not just a one game thing. They have the talent to be contenders..

The guys have 3 more games before conference play begins. Hopefully we can get to 5-5 before a 4 game home stretch.

One more thing. Just finished watching the archived Berry game. I was slightly impressed with the freshmen that played, especially Jackson's ball handling ability.

Antonio Jackson is fun to watch and as quick as any Scot I remember. And Gee seems pretty skilled, too.

If the upperclass guys can maintain seriousness about this, they could be good for more than a few minutes at a time.

Well I won't like anything until they are able to compete with teams from up north again. There are some teams that have had some success from the south region including Murvul but for the most part the north is where the good D3 action is at. The scots don't look like they could compete in the MIAA, CCIW, or most other northern conferences. Not tough enough. Murvul a athleticism is top notch, but their toughness is bottom notch and that is why they are struggling. Until they show consistent toughness, there are no bright spots.

scottiedoug · December 09, 2013, 04:32:02 PM

Have Scots teams ever had the toughness you think they need? Any southern teams?

mattgrubb · December 09, 2013, 05:33:59 PM

Yes

Well Guilford is 7-0 and in the top 25. I think that shows how good Lagrange could be this year. The championship caliber duo of Wallace and McGreal will have them right after christmas. They sure played GC tough at GC in the first game of the year. With the exception of the pensacola christian loss, the panthers are doing what they need to do.

There are only 2 teams with winning records in the conference right now, that doesn't say a lot for the strength of the conference, well, yea it does. Can you say one automatic bid only!

Better win the USASAC tournament!

mattgrubb · December 11, 2013, 10:47:23 AM

I'm calling it now. Murvul Scots win the USASAC tourney. Big news coming soon from Murvul. Gonna be a big weekend in Lexington for the scots. Should be a couple of big wins and another step on the right track.

I think the scots are like Mr Coach Klein from the Waterboy. They may have found their manhood.

scottiedoug · December 11, 2013, 08:52:46 PM

So RDL finally bought your toughness potion!

mattgrubb · December 11, 2013, 10:09:42 PM

No, but they sure did get a big shot of testosterone in the arm con mi compadre con queso!!!!

Looking at the composite conference schedule, I would have to say that Methodist and Lagrange are the 2 best teams in the conference right now. Methodist looks like they have some respectable wins based on the reputation of some of the teams they have beaten, not necessarily this years teams. I like Methodist. I like Lagrange but they look like they are relying on big nights out of 2 or 3 players to win and I mean one of those guys going off for near 30. Oh well, with 3 guys they have spread the risk.

I can't wait for conference play to begin!!!

hasanova · December 13, 2013, 08:07:29 AM

Anyone from Methodist (read narch) going to make the Guilford game in Greensboro tomorrow afternoon?

mattgrubb · December 15, 2013, 10:46:44 PM

Wow what a game between Methodist and Guilford.

Lagrange or Methodist need to get Guilford at home.
