That article had what I thought was a lot of inside information. It certainly opens the discussion....are we better or worse as a conference without Fisk?

Coach Haynes, I hope you summer is going well. Scottiedoug opened up a good thread on the USAC board last weekend.

and others.

I really would like to see the GSAC move en bloc into the USAC South Division.

Might this merger allow Shenandoah gracefully to move to the CAC for geographic considerations? (And possibly CNU? Isn't D3 about not missing class time?) I see the USAC's northern tier as being vulnerable to shake-up occurring in and because of the the Landmark ("Interstate-7") Conference and Capital AC. The women's divisions maintain good solidarity as competitive units. It is the men's programs that need to merge.

The ASC has dealt with the uncertainty of members leaving (University of Dallas and Austin College specifically and even a Texas Wesleyan who took one look at D3 on their way out of D2 on their way to the NAIA) by getting big. I think that the USAC would be smart to take the entire GSAC and operate with anywhere from 8-10 Women in the north and all 7 GSAC in the South. And, 5-7 men in the North and all 4 (GSAC) in the South.

Then you have at least 8 football teams as well.

Speaking of football...LC opens at MC Sept. 2 and I expect nothing but good ole TN hospitality for my trip to watch a milestone in my alma mater's fine 176 year history.

Killer, let's not forget about Placeres, whom I believe left with Beaty to reenergize the Highlanders of GP (are you with me). I believe the cornerstone is still there, but the heart might have gotten smaller with the big 3 (Bell, Placeres, and Beaty)looking to create their own coaching legagcy. Of course, Bell has a head start on that with 5 years of college coaching and 5 years to the big dance. Best of luck old friend, you deserve it as much as anyone, we all know that you will do well. Stay tough early and it will pay off in the end.

I see that Coach Haynes (the only coach in the country still on a message board) is back. Hey Coach Haynes, CJR says to shut the hello up, and do something productive.

GSAC Killer · July 24, 2006, 04:20:54 PM

Coach Haynes any updates on your recruits?? Congrats on your school participating in Football .. You have a shot at beating us!! Suggestion to your defensive coordinator we run, run, run and on 4th and 30 we run up the middle... Favorite Play "Draw" just kidding but we do run a lot..

Highlander · July 24, 2006, 04:35:16 PM

Killer,
Such harsh words about the football Scots. Apparently you did not notice the air connection between Price and JJ last season. Do not count out the Scots before the season. They have been working hard and have plenty of upper classmen returning. It would be great if the football program got the same amount of student body support that the B-ball team gets, but I know that comes with proving that you play hard and win in the crunch.

mattgrubb · July 24, 2006, 06:42:25 PM

yeah fan support is usually earned or you could recruit some really hot girls to kick the field goals and i would never miss a game and show up in body paint,
Beaty and placeres are going to start a dynasty in gburg, one team of 15 players that come from 2 different families, i love the mountain people

Highlander · July 24, 2006, 06:54:02 PM

Mr. Grubb,
If you start showing up in body paint MC would probably lose fans. Either that or they might all go blind.

The football Scots are pretty decent and I stated publicly they would outperform their conference coaches poll prediction last year. Think they will do the same this year.

GSAC Killer · July 25, 2006, 07:59:16 AM

I don't think JJ will be coming back and that means Run run run PUNT!!

mattgrubb · July 25, 2006, 02:16:50 PM

talk foosball on the foosball board, this is the game where the small schools can compete with the big schools for one night and we play more than one game a week

GSAC Killer · July 25, 2006, 03:38:01 PM

let them know matt grubb!!!!!!!!!!

Highlander · July 25, 2006, 06:18:33 PM

This is the last post I will add to the Basketball section. In my post regarding football, in no why did I insult or say anything that is even disrespectful in regards to the Maryville B- ball program. The true intent of my post was simply to say that I know how great the B- ball support is, and I realize two things- (1) that type of support is always a positive for the program and (2) that I realize that to gain that type of support then the program must work hard and prove to be competitive.

P.S. I find it disheartening that supporters of Maryville can not be supportive of all the sports no matter what they are or their win lose records. We all know the time and effort that the players and coaches put into their programs.

Good Day
