what is up with my Karma.  Im not Budhist.  I do not need it.  But why is it so bad what have i done to anybody

[Spencer Beaty]

Hern Dog was present at the "Massacre and Boydson." King was dethroned and the MC "king" AKA Hern Dog was there to see it.  Perched high on his lofty pillar across from me, i saw him applaued very pleased with the effort he had enstilled in his team.  Hern then hugged a tree as he is king of the trees

[GSAC Killer]

I appreciate the love Spencer but your comment on Hern Dog has had me rolling throughout the day.. He is the king of trees..hahahahaha
  Big game this Saturday... 1st official test of the year....

These Trannys are going to be a real test on sat.  I will be there to cheer on the Fighting Scots.  My prediction is Maryville 187
Tranny   14

They are going to get some late buckets in the last minute of the game.

That prediction is in honor of the MC superfans who regularly post on the board.

I think the scots have the firepower to outscore the pioneers and i don't know if the pioneers have the athletes to compete with the scots, but they do have some good wins and one close to loss to an obviously impressive wittenburg team.

great article in the knoxville paper about the scots today, it focuses in on how fat bobby is, and the years of success lambert has had

This is the website for the article entitled "The Golden Touch"
sounds like Sheila Evans has gotten ahold of the scots this year, go dance team

I will definitely be at the MC game tomorrow.  So Yes "Mix" is back.  I did see the Scots play last year against Wilmington College in Ohio and Thomas Moore and I can't wait to see them this year.  The Knoxville Sentinel's article on the Scots today was very good.  I still don't understand and no one can ever give me an answer why all the big Universities in Wisconsin are allowed to play in Division III.  I pulled up the enrollment for all of those schools and one of the schools have over 9000 students. 
Anyhow it is still concerning to me that when Wittenberg beats Cedarville (a NAIA school schlorship) there is a big article on them and how they almost walk on water; however, when MC beats (kills) a NAIA school (King College) there is not one mention about this.  How many other schools are 7-0?  I don't believe many if any.  I believe MC's only tough games will be Carson Newman (Division II), Tennessee Wesleyan and perhaps Fisk (at Fisk).  I believe MC could go undefeated at best or three losses at worse.
That is all.... Go Scots!!!!!

mcscotsalumni85, Wittenburg defeated the #4 ranked team in NAIA-2.

King was not even among the 43 NAIA-2 schools who received a vote in the Dec 7th poll.

As for the WIAC schools, they decided to move from NAIA-1 to D3 in the mid 1980's.  They have to follow the same rules as Maryville.  Whether we like it or not, the public vs private argument always draws heat but little light that has not been seen before.

Kinda like D-1 NCAA, Centenary LA (835 students) competes in the same division as UT-Austin (50,000+) in all sports that it sponsors.

This ain't high school. In college, classification is not determined by enrollment. It's not like they recruit their basketball team by hanging up some signs in the hallway -- the basketball players are at that institution for the same reason they are at yours, or any other. They are recruited specifically to come there.

Anyhow it is still concerning to me that when Wittenberg beats Cedarville (a NAIA school schlorship) there is a big article on them and how they almost walk on water.

We're smart enough to know the difference between beating a ranked NAIA team and a 7-5 NAIA team.

Tranny's only lost was to whitenberg who is number 3 in the nation.  They also beat Otterbein so be prepared for a great game today.  MCscotsalumni, this will be a good game trust me on this one.  Bobby needs to play big today

[Spencer Beaty]

What now!  MC with a big win.  A very scrappy performance by all.  A great win that will certainly push them into the top 25

[mcscotsalumni85]

Scots are 8-0 and I hope this will give them some respect.  I went to the game today and MC looked good, but not spectacular or Transylvania is just very good.  The game was tied at 51 with just a few minutes to play.  Now I do know that Transylvania only lost one game coming into MC and that was by 11 points to Wittenberg.  Transylvania has really excellent 3 point shooters.  They aren't much inside though.  MC looked somewhat sluggish, but they did win.  I believe Coach Lambert is one of the best coaches ever, as he has had several opportunities to go to bigger schools to coach.  However I don't understand why the big guy Golden doesn't stay in the paint more and make layups instead of standing on the outside.  It didn't seem like anyone could block him when he was inside.  And I thought MC should of fouled the inward pass with like 10 seconds left up by 3 points.  Bo the point guard is very good and Holliday is good.  I hope the Scots crank it up a notch in Tampa against Transyvania again.  They surely should be in the top 25 after being 8-0.  Go Scots.  Good seeing you TR.

the scots had a descent game today
Great win for them, i would have liked to see them play better and run their offense more effectively, but it was a very disciplined transy team as usual.
Obviously beating King is good win, but not a great one
I MC had beaten Transy in 01 when they were ranked #1 in NAIA 1, that would have been noteworthy, but they lost by 6
Who really cares about size, everyone knows "size doesn't matter"
Great job to Lambert for 8-0 before the break, he oviously has a brain in that large cranium of his and he is learning how to use it with age.
He is a great D3 coach and very knowledgeable about the game and we are glad he stayed at home at MC.
Mason shot well and Monte had 12 points and 12 boards not bad for a shooting guard
Make it hot scots

[Big Dog]

Great Scots win and also good to see an alumnus from my era. However, and I don't mean to sound critical, but the Scots play better when the cheerleader sings the National Anthem. The piped in  church organ just didn't get me as fired up as a back hand springer crooning at the Baird House. Game management, fix that for me. Another thing, the multiple half time dance routines were appreciated by this conniseur of such cultural delights. Give me a new Fines Arts Center and I'll be doin  hip hop with Gerald G. The stepping event had the best post man in MC history and me mesmorized as he even left the confines of the reserved seats behind the bench for the section where I was sitting with my dad and a guy handing out MURVUL hats.  Well done Scots! I liked Transy's team and they were well coached and I am sure they will be an NCAA tourney team. If we can handle the egg without dropping it or breaking it or sitting on it and hatching it, the Scots will be OK. Welcome back Mix.
