MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[bballlover]

Thanks Coach

[mattgrubb]

scots win at HC is a big step in fulfilling the Grubby's One prediction of a GSAC title for these Scots.

I dare say the Grubby One is psychic.

[bballlover]

I hope Lions can give Scots a game tomorrow.

[bballlover]

Sorry........They didn't.

Well Coach Haynes' bunch just about got one this afternoon!  Great effort.  Scots were fortunate to win this one.

yea, who does coach haynes think he is?  Playing the scots that close does not make the grubby one happy at all.
I like Coach Haynes, but he needs to realize at my advanced age games like that could cause a heart attack.

I sure hope he doesn't have anything cooking for when the scots go down there.  Coach Haynes sure could use a break this season, he is a good dude.
Coach Haynes, whenever the grubby one needs some luck, he goes to the local boys and girls club in Knoxville and spends time with the kids and does what he can to help them.  Now it is not a secret recipe or anything and i cannot guarantee anything, but if you get what you give 10 fold?  Now, I cannot predict how good karma comes my way, but i sure can say that the grubby one always ends up with some good karma after one of those trips.  You might want to take your guys there one day (not before you play maryville an go to the club in lagrange) and see if you all get any good karma.  From what i hear, a little karma on your side and you may have stolen a W in Murvul and i know you would have enjoyed that feeling.

I see it has been a rough season for all the GSAC teams.  For some reason, i don't think the hard times are going to be over for these small liberal arts colleges any time soon.  Randy will have the scots ready to fire next season though after he wins the GSAC title again this year.

Grubbster, I am right there with you.  I believe you get both what you deserve and also what you can handle. 
I am very proud of my guys.  They are fighting with whatever they've got for me and I can't express my appreciation enough. 

I got to be honest; I thought your Boys/Girls club story was going to end with you raining three's in the faces of Knox County's youth. 

[mattgrubb]

Coach Haynes
There plenty of rain when i go there, it is sandy lyle-esque.  There is also a lot of trash talking on both ends but i have always been a big believer that when you step between the lines you have to give all you got.  Even if that means holding the Tshirt of a 12 year old as he goes for a rebound or setting an illegal screen on an 11 year old.  As long as you are between the lines, it is just part of the game.

The panthers still have a chance to win the conference tournament.

[coachwgh]

I guess everybody has a chance...

In real life, i think she did marry him, if not marry, she at least went crazy over long term relationship.

[mattgrubb]

oh my, are the panthers on a win streak?  YES

Could they be peaking at the right time?   YES

Coach Haynes, if you win the conference tourney, the grubby one woudn't even be mad.  I would drive to Lagrange and let you buy me lunch in celebrations.  Let's go ahead and pencil in that bbq joint in lagrange for let's say March 4th???  Around noon???
Please bring the trophy with you.
thanks
The Grubby One

For those of you that were not at the Maryville - Piedmont game yesterday you missed seeing the end of an era. Eryk Watson played his final home game of an outstanding career. What a player.I know this years record has not been up to Scott standards but,you can't put any blame on Watson.He came to play every night, just as he did for four years.He could play for me anytime.I can't help but wonder what could have been if Watson had decided to travel two hours east to Demorest,GA for his education rather than three hours north.That we will never know.Congratulations Eryk Watson.
