[Spencer Beaty]

who are the new assistants Grubb.  there was a big black guy and a skinny guy with glasses that i didnt know.

We are really and I mean really in unchartered waters here!  I thought winning made things easier but it is unbelievably harder to sleep, prepare or eat, well maybe not eat I still got that under control.  I am proud of my guys for lots but mostly for their business like approach to each day after an accomplishment.  Don't get me wrong, we enjoy wins and are a happy bunch around here but they really seem to get that last night won't help you today.  Sewanee is in the middle of a whole lot of bad luck.  They played nose to nose with us for 40 minutes and really got after us.  They are doing a really good job getting through a difficult time up there.  This weekend will tell a lot about us win or lose.  I hope no one thinks we are going to have a Maryville like season because I don't think we are there yet.  I love my team but we do some simple things that people will be able to defend along the way.  The Panthers are fired up and motivated to do great things.  It is my job to keep them focused and informed on the next opponent.  Saturday will be a well rested and intense Emory squad who has beaten us all but one time in history. 

If I guarded Lambert's set shot close enough I could take him 4 out of 7 but the task would be difficult.  Zuver is an intense, scrappy, pump fake using guy like myself so I don't see anything but a tie after we are both exhausted and dizzy from ball faking.  Here is an inside scoop....Emory's assistant, Jimmy "Popcorn" Paulis is every bit as good as he looks.  He made more fancy lay ups and pull jumpers in one game than I have seen over a whole season in LaGrange. 

HAPPY TURKEY DAY!

my money is still on you coach haynes

sometimes i think winning basketball games consists of doing the same simple things that work over and over so keep it up

The new guys are Andy Rhines "Rhino" former coach at heritage and tennessee travelers coach

The other is Jeff Mallory former LMU assistant, i have heard he is pretty knowledgeable

[coachwgh]

Thanks for the support Grubb. 

[Spencer Beaty]

I have my money on Randall Dean Lambert. 

[Spencer Beaty]

what is up with all this negative karma?

[mattgrubb]

some people don't like the maryville fans, i will give you some Karma spencer b/c you are an icon

[mattgrubb]

any word on the maryville/OU game

[FlightofthePetrel]

Maryville by 4

[mattgrubb]

go scots, but i am distrought my panthers lost, but an overtime loss at Emory is a good sign that they are much improved over last year, we will see how good they are tomorrow against OU

also we will see how good emory is this year, the emory kids seem to pick up their system quicker than other teams, probably b/c they are a lot smarter than the other kids

[coachwgh]

Grub, let that be a lesson to you about which bandwagon you choose to jump on.  Another 2nd half falter for the Panthers.  Somebody rub a good luck charm today for our free throw shooting!

[Spencer Beaty]

speaking of free throw shooting has anyone watched UT play?  I think Chism has to be the worst free throw shooter in the world.

[mattgrubb]

don't expect the vols to repeat last year, but they will be a solid club

Coach, Emory is a tough place to win, ask Randy

I am not jumping band wagons again anytime soon

Looks like Bobby had a dominant performance, but only 6 rebounds, come on big guy

This Quinn Bradley character could be a major key to the success of the scots this year, he and Jeremy could be quiet killers for the scots

Go Panthers

[mattgrubb]

well coach haynes, your guys did better against emory than the MC boys did, ouch!!!!
Emory is a tough place to play and the eagles are tough in November

Go Panthers

[Spencer Beaty]
