MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[GSAC Killer]

Matt Grubb you are so modest.. The Alumni Game will feature many GSAC Assasins!!

Imagine having these guys on one team: Point Guards: Myself and Jeff McCord, Shooting Guards: Monte Calloway, Brent Watts, Spencer Beaty
Small Forwards: Chris Housewright, Sidney Ellis Power Forwards: Walden Buttram, Dee Bell, Center: Paul Reed, Josh Tummel..

Don´t forget we are also inviting 3 time Women All American Hayley Smith!!!

The alumni game is going to be tons of fun and a new tradition at the College.

By the way GO SCOTS!!

OldLion that is a good scrimmage.  Andy Sharpe the head coach at Emmanuel is a good guy doing good things up there.  We play them the day after New Year's.  If you went to their gym...how about those poles around the court which are strategically placed in your way from any angle in the bleachers. 

We had a scrimmage against a good JUCO and did well.  We didn't play one of our better players who just got back this week from a knee scope but had to figure out how to play (1) our big kid who is finally healthy to start the year, (2) a much improved soph center, a (3) now eligible point forward, and all the other usual suspects.  We have one more scrimmage against a DII school which hopefully will be a great preperation game for our opener against NC Wesleyan. 

Yeah Coach, those poles were pretty bad ... the only solution I could come up with was to sit on the front row. I was gratified to see a number of our fans make the trip to support us ... it's a shame we have so few home games this season.

OK Coach, I'll take the quiz ...
(1) Podbielski
(2) Nutt,? Redding?
(3) Williams

How did I do?

[mattgrubb]

Nice job Old Lion, i would guess you made an A on that quiz
Coach Haynes i saw a D2 scrimmage last night as the vols dominated D2 Lemoyne Owen who wilburt would point out Fisk beat in 1999 when Lemoyne owen was ranked#1 in NCAA D2.  They were 22-0 and their first loss was to FISK.

I also want to point out that when snoop doggy dogg was in court for murder charges in the mid 1990's he was wearing a Fisk University sweatshirt

Both of you guys are smart enough to get a degree from LaGrange!  You guys didn't guess the JUCO though.  That means only partial credit.  Nutt is improved but not as much as Redding. 

[mattgrubb]

good job Pat,
I see 6 south region teams in the top 25, maybe a little generous but we will take it, I certainly like maryville much better at 23, i think that is much more realistic than the Street and Smith #7.  We all know D3hoops has a much more in depth poll.

The scots have some perimeter questions to answer and some answers in the post so hopefully the scots will have another good season this year.  GO SCOTS.

P.S. never rank Hampden Sydney higher than maryville ever again, i thank you for your cooperation in advance

What a line up!
My goodness you put that together fast! What are the details? They are playing the team or alumni? Costs? What will the money go towards? Is Cooper on this?
(I can't get PMs so I have to ask questions here on the board.)

[mattgrubb]

we are just playing against each other to have fun and raise some money for the program, we are asking $100 bucks a person, so not a lot for one but you multiply that by 30 and we will have raised a descent amount of money for the program, its called teamwork

Thanks for the info, Mr. Grubb. I can't wait for this game, I know y'all will have a lot of fun. Wish there was a clever way to have the fans involved that would raise money also...

[GSAC Killer]

Congrats to the Scots #23!! Like the Fighting Matt Grubb said more realistic ranking.. We have 3 very talented players in Mason.Golden, and Blair but all three are not very good defenders!!!

Will see how it goes... Season is almost here!!

[mattgrubb]

The Scots will be ready come their first game, i can feel it

[MCScotsFan]

   I hear the great Fighting Monte will be unable to be here for the alumni game. Sad news for us Monte fans. Maybe next alumni game!

The best thing about Fall is MC Fighting Scots basketball!! 

[mattgrubb]

monte was always a fan favorite
has anyone heard anything about the scrimmage against LMU last night, how bad did the scots win?

[d3ball]

Hawks All the Way

[old_lion]

Hawks All the Way

That's nice, Allen ... but we could use a little more in-depth preview ...

OK, you have Hairston in the frontcourt and Sampleton in the backcourt. What else you got?

Who else has the inside track to start?

What other guys will step up?

Inquiring minds want to know ... 

[mattgrubb]

Allen,
Rave review, so daring, concise, and to the point.  I will have to agree with you that the hawks can handle the big 3 of maryville.  Let's all not forget Jeremy Holliday.  He is a junior, i believe he is a pisces, he enjoys long walks on the beach, warm nights in front of the fire, rebounding, and playing defense.  This will be his third year starting at the power forward for the scots and he is ready to have a dominate year defending other teams premier post players.  While he is only 145 pounds at 6'7" he is quick and a very intelligent player.  You may think he is fragile, but he is actually agile.  He is the only man in the GSAC that Bobby Golden fears.  Sorry Lambert, Jeremy is the only guy in the GSAC Bobby fears.

Tomorrow will feature and different under recognized fighting scot, here is a hint, He will be a "Quagmire" and pose many "Quandaries" for GSAC schools this year.
Sincerely
The Fighting Matt Grubb
