MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[Ralph Turner]

Wilburt, the Mississippi College Golden Dome is a very tough place to play.  MC probably has the best home record in the ASC over the last decade.  I shall be following FISK against the Chocs with great anticipation.

(Did I spell FISK correctly?   )

Wilburt:

Mark Simon wrote an excellent article on Lincoln in the "Around The Nation" column, that you should check out.  I emailed Mark to advise him that Lincoln is not the sole DIII HBCU program, and that FISK is the other DIII HBCU.

[wilburt]

njlincolnlion:

There are in fact 3 HBCUs in D3.  Lincoln, FISK and Rust College in Mississippi. 

I started to skim the article this morning, but I'll get to it later when I have more time to digest it.  Thanks.

Dr. Turner, you did spell FISK correctly.  Can you spell MURVUL? FISK lost to Mississippi College at the Golden Dome two seasons ago by 12, so they should be familiar with the Dome.

Wilburt:

I forgot about Rust College    .  Thanks for the clarification.

[Ralph Turner]

Wilburt, let me try...

murvul   

[mattgrubb]

spelling maryville and pronouncing murvul are 2 totally different things
The scots were obviously impressive down low last night.
they are 5-0 and hopefully headed in the right direction but they have some tough games coming up

[Ralph Turner]

Matt, Murvul fans are so much fun!

Some year, I wish we could get a GSAC/ASC early-season tourney with Murvul, FISK, McMurry and Mississippi College.  Host it in Clinton!

We could get Mark Simon down here for that one!  8)

OK Wilburt, I have been unable to figure this out myself, having only a Murvul education, so I guess I have to ask you. When did Fisk become FISK? 

[coachwgh]

William,
LaGrange @ Emory today @ 3.  That is right in your backyard.  I don't know how you could miss it.

[Ralph Turner]

scottie, it is actually FISK!

Man, give William a new set of colors and he goes wild!

[scottiedoug]

Ralph:  Says who?  I do not remember our friend William spelling Fisk FISK last year, but maybe it's the colors that caught my eye.   

So if I, or the President of Maryville, decided it was MARYVILLE, is that all it takes?

[Ralph Turner]

 

Isn't it "Maryville" that is in Missouri and MURVUL the one in Tennessee?

MURVUL is the team that wins post-season games.  The SLAIC still hasn't won one!

We had better hope that Wilburt doesn't figure out how to use the variable fonts.

FISK

Oh scottie, Mississippi College lost on the road at UMHB!  There is a chance you might move up some, maybe into the Top 25!

[wilburt]

Fisk became FISK with the new d3hoops format change and when I figured out how to use the dog gone color thing. I was not a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of FISK so it took me a little longer to figure it out than most of you guys!

Coach Haynes, unfortunately I don't live in the Atlanta area, although I have a number of good friends that live there that I visit a lot from time to time.  I do live in an undisclosed location in the Eastern time zone though.  Although, I can't make it to any of the FISK-MURVUL games (work stuff), I am planning on going to the GSAC tourney games in Montgomery in February (provided Coach Duckworth can give me good directions to Huntingdon's gym)!

Andrey, thanks for compiling the list.  Please remember that UT-Tyler (ASC-East)  is in the 3rd year of provisional status, and their games do not count towards in-region standings.

And you have Murvul leading the pack!
