MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[wilburt]

wilburt i question your priorities again

How many good scholars does Vanderbilt produce?

okay, now how many of them are basketball players?
Good point grubby one, academics have their place, just not on the basketball team

I can't speak for Vanderbilt.  But I know that over the decades many academic achievers have been athletes at Fisk - including myself.  For example:

- Fisk's All-Time leading scorer and former basketball MVP went on to Harvard Law School and now is Chair of the Fisk Board of Trustees. 

- Fisk's AD and Head Basketball Coach Larry Glover '79 has an earned doctorate in education. One of the few colleges coaches in the nation with an earned doctorate. 

- One of Coach Glover's former players who graduated in 2000 was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate who went on to Emory Law School and now is with a big time Atlanta law firm.

- In 2005 another guy graduated from Fisk with Phi Beta Kappa honors, a 3.8 GPA and was a three-time Division III All-American in Track and Field.  As I understand it his name was submitted for Rhodes Scholarship consideration.  I could go on and on Grubb...

Maybe academics aren't a priority at Maryville but they certainly are at Fisk.  The more I keep thinking about it maybe the GSAC isn't such an academic fit for Fisk like the SCAC was.

Thats funny.  I dont know of many Maryville Graduates that arent successful.  But hey, no American Idols at MC...how many classes does that take?

[wilburt]

Must not be any talent at MC like there is at Fisk to make the Top 10 on American Idol.  That's my guess  ...

[mattgrubb]

maybe that is why the fisk kids acted with such class after they finally beat maryville, they read about it, in a book, how to handle success by randy lambert

I do know MC is listed in the top 10 of southern liberal arts colleges every year by US news, maybe MC buys that title, i don't know, but to be such a good school with such esteemed alums, can't they afford to fix their gym?  I know plenty of MC alums who could throw out 10k for new lights, should we start taking up alumni donations for the fisk gym and  this is for you wilburt

i posted this article for you and b/c you are the king of it

[wilburt]

You ever thought that they just reflected what they saw from some of the Maryville fans Grubb.

All you guys talk about it is the gym.  So what's new?  I understand why now because that seems to be where you guys have spent most of your time at Maryville rather than the library. 

Thanks for posting the article Grubb. It's quite nice because Maryville needs some culture.

And by the way - If I am the King of it you are certainly on my right side as the Queen of it  !

Keep it up guys I'm having fun... 

[Ralph Turner]

Nice Maryville Civic Arts Center!

Congratulations!  $20M plus land is a considerable investment!

[mattgrubb]

first of all i am a princess, not a queen
second of all, Maryville has a library???

[ohyeah]

Pat,

I was reading your recruiting blog on the main page.  Blake Derrick from McMinn Central High School is not going to Maryville.  He backed out on his committment and is going to d2 doormat Lincoln Memorial.

[GSAC Killer]

The Killer is back and graduated...  I see the message board has heated up a little since I last posted but hey thats the GSAC for you..
  Well Coach Lambert did not get the UT job but hey thats life.. He will be able to see his son Wes play and possibly play at Da Ville. I dont think Coach got to many more years left in him especially with the clowns he has had to coach this past year..
  Hands down if everyone comes back and the recruits who had originally signed come the Scots should have a successfulu season.. But that is a lot of IFS..
  Bo, Bobby, and Bradley are great offensive players but we know were just offense gets you in the tournament run sent home in the second round...
  Well I hope everyone is well.. Remember these words my fellow Wilburt LaGrange if they make all the right moves can I will be the team to beat in the GSAC.. Trust me!!

[mattgrubb]

I hope everyone is well and had a safe weekend, i.e. wilburt, i am glad we got to keep Randall, does this mean that the killer is now at LC??
I think the scots will have some good summer workouts, i will go to one soon and let you all know the attitude in the air.

Killer i am going to Miami soon, you will have to be my tour guide

[GSAC Killer]

Killer is currently working for General Motor Company in its Commercial Leasing Department and is not at LC MR.Watts...
  You better be careful down at the MIA... You need a tan, have fun!! Holla at me whenever you get a chance..
Killer wants to Coach and is interested in any job openings... Might see me back with LScots again.. Who knows???
  But the Killa was born to play and coach especially on the men's side..

[Spencer Beaty]

I havent been on here in a while but I hope everyone knows that Lambert didnt get the job.  He is coming back to MC

[Spencer Beaty]

I saw Bobby outside of subs and such yesterday.  I am not kidding about this.  He had a footlong in one hand and a drink in the other.

[GSAC Killer]

If Bobby dont watch it he might be at 290 at the start of conditioning!!

[mattgrubb]

oh he will watch what he eats, he will stare it down and dominate it

We are glad to have lambert for good, he is an okay guy

The grubby one will be in miami soon, maybe the grubby one and matt grubb can get together and rock out
