MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[GSAC Killer]

I am going start off by saying I am the next Nostradamus... I predicted a Maryville win and by in fact 7 points (was that the final margin?), The team who would get to the line more( 52 attempts by MC to 19 of Fisk), and lastly less turnovers MC did that, would end up winning the game, DID IT HAPPEN? Well enough about me and now about the Scots and the game..
  I truly enjoyed last nights game.. As a player you sometimes miss out on all that goes on and let me tell you last nights participation by both crowds is what basketball is all about.School Pride!!..
  About the game Fisk jumped out real fast on MC but as the phrase says basketball is a full 40 minutes not just 20.. The SYSTEM ran by the Scots was the difference in the game.Did you read that Wilburt?? SYSTEM... They got back in the game with the Outstanding play of Bradley Blair and the gutsy effort of their leader and POY Monte Calloway..
I could write a book on the game but I think I would rub it in too much, but is a little bit of it . THE STREAK CONTINUES!! 43-0 in the regular season for Mr.Randy Lambert and his staff.. Three straight overtime games at Fisk and who comes out the winner, The SCOTS!!! Can you ask yourself why , COACHING and (SYSTEM).. We are by far one of the best programs in the country year in and year out (DID YOU HEAR THAT PAT COLEMAN)... DO your research and I cant wait for your response because I can't wait for your excuses on why were not...
  Can someone give Spencer Beaty a job because obviously him and Lambert are an unbeatable tandem.. Spencer your the best Assistant in the country...
   I hope all the haters will be quiet for awhile beacuse if Fisk cant beat us with 6 or 7 seniors that they have at HOME when will they beat us!!!!!!!( I am quoting someone but I wont reveal them)
  I am so honored that I am able to say I am a Fighting Scot!! 20-0 in the Conference when I played... 45-13 record and may I add a Sweet 16 apperance, 2 NCAA Tournament births and 2 CONFERENCE CHAMPIONSHIPS!!! WOW!!! I LOVE BEING A FIGHTING SCOT.... Before I forget mad props to the new guy on the Scots bench and his tutelage to the post players MR. Kendall Wallace a.k.a. REX.................

p.s. My prayers go out to Chris Adams and his family.. I hope all is well.. He is a terrific kid and a good basketball player... Hopefully someone can keep us updated on his status..

I was waiting for someone from Maryville to Gloat and the GSAC Killer has not disappointed me.

Very classy...

gloating iswhat us fat old alums do, we have the right to, we have earned, I think i had a record of 84 and 23 as a scot, 3 tourney, 1 conf. title, 1 sweet sixteen, and a 50 point beating of fisk,

when we get old and fat gloating is all we have left, please don't take our glory days away from us.

Anyway the rematch and probable third game of the season should be amazing so scots keep it up, there is nothing more embarassing than an early exit in the conf. tourney. 
Pat will realize we are good some time around mid march like he always does, he likes underdogs so that is why he keeps us where we are at.

I think if all our fans come out and we can get our attendance way up then that will bring him out to the mountains to see "the real fighting scots" play.

GO SCOTS BABY

[scottiedoug]

Yeah ok gloaters and fellow Scots fans.  When this team decides to play both halves all the time it will not lose to Transylvania and Averett and Pat will have no choice...and he did even mention the game last night in the recap on the home page without either team in the Top 25.

William:  I think Chris missed only the last couple of minutes of the OT....

It sounded on the radio like Bradley Blair and Greg Martin really stepped up with Bobby on the bench.  That could be really important going forward, especially remembering the Mississippi College game last year when the wore us out inside.

[mattgrubb]

imagine that rowdy fans at a gsac game
I heard fisk still has the huge speakers, I love it, things like that make it so much sweeter to win there.  I bet that fan was not happy when they found out there bulldogs lost and they got kicked out, awesome
I will give credit to the Cooper Crazies heckle with class

[mattgrubb]

if calvin and hope can be on TV then so can mc and fisk, not really i played a game at calvin and it was disgusting, the place was packed, you could hardly get to the locker rooms without getting through the crowd,
One of my buddies told me 2 weeks ago about that stuff, he said his final two choices for college were Hope or UMICH and he was a linebacker, obviously he picked UMICH, but for Hope to be 2nd, i don't think many people are going to debate between MC and UT but the local cable network in knoxville Charter should show the game, they don't have anything better, i mean they do a great job but this is a big deal to a lot of crazed MC fans, so if anyone has any connections make it hot

[Big Dog]

Scots on TV, against Fisk. Very good concept. However, Bobby Golden would be ineligible to play as he is under contract for TV appearances under the name "The Bobinator." Maybe we could even have a hot dog eating contest at halftime. The possibilites are limitless. But back to this weekend, all Scots posters are invited to attend the game and be ready for the appearance of MC's newest male cheerleader. After repeated attempts to get female cheerleader to sing National Anthem, a new male cheerleader has been appointed to shock yo mama with his stirring rendition of the stars and stripes. Be ready to stand, take off your hat, put up your pocket knife, and put your hand over your heart as Josh Groban, thats right, Josh Groban, sings the "land of the free, and the home of the Scots." God Bless America, our soldiers, and all Scots fans carrying swords and wearing kilts to Saturdays's game.

[old_lion]

Uh, Big Dog, you do realize Saturday is a road game for the Scots? You might want to put your skirt back in the closet.

But what the heck, we don't care ... we are open minded in Demorest ... slip on your skirt and come on down.

We promise to do our best to at least make it interesting for you.

[ohyeah]

I just wanted to say that Wednesday's game at Fisk reminded me of the time the Scots chipped away at the 20 pt halftime lead at Fisk and came away victorious in '00.

That was also the time of the notorious headbutt by Brent Watts.

[Big Dog]

Old Lion, should I shave my (a)face (b) sideburns (c) legs or (d) back for the road trip? And in defense of Master Brent Watts, if he head butted someone they deserved it. Watts was rawboned stones for the Scots. He won more games with his breaking from the offense than any player in Scots History (see Rose Hulman NCAA tourney win, or Hampden Sydney for that matter). Come to think of it, under the Lambert legacy, drop the name of any ODAC school and they have tasted of the opened can of ScotSpank at one time or another. Just think what would have been if Martha Hess and  Dr. G had let Shiela Evans return for J term at the start of the millenium. Well, gotta go get my can of wax opened for the roadtrip. Go Scots and Go Old Lion for not having me show up at the gym tomorrow to see a cheerleading or karate competition. GO SCOTS!

Old Lion, should I shave my (a)face (b) sideburns (c) legs or (d) back for the road trip?

I don't know, Big Dog. I'm not really up on kilt etiquette ... Just shave whatever and come on down.

All we ask is that if you plan on junping up and down and cheering for your Scots ... don't forget your under armor ...

[Spencer Beaty]

man i was listening to the fisk maryville game on the radio and it definitley seemed like a tale of two halves.  i could tell that neither team was playing their best ball with bobby really sucky in gravy and adams getting hurt.  how is he by the way wilburt.  but im not sure how murvul pulled it out.  down by 15 and end up winning i think that Andy Chaney had a definite role in the victory

GSAC Killer (aka Raul) said:

"I hope all the haters will be quiet for awhile beacuse [sic] if Fisk cant beat us with 6 or 7 seniors that they have at HOME when will they beat us!!!!!!!( I am quoting someone but I wont [sic] reveal them)"

Come on Raul, why can't you admit that Coach Lambert said that?

As an aside, I have not seen such a number of venomous posts against a team by those from East Tennessee since Cazzie Russell's SCAD team beat Maryville twice in one season. The undercurrent of animosity is palpable.  I have my suspicions as to why, but I dare not say them yet.

Chris Adams may be out for the rest of the season, so I hear.

Will be back to post in February...

[scottiedoug]

William:   Actually I think the posts from E. TN about the MC-Fisk gave have been rather devoid of "venom."  To which posts do you refer?   Gloating, yes, but venom?

In the case of SCAD, many people thought that SCAD's adherence to the regs of DIII was less than solid, which turned out to be true. 

[Spencer Beaty]

GSAC Killer,  Yeah man!  When can i get a head job, jk, but seriously i changed josh herdon into the superstar sensation he was.  I have invented a giant rolling pin that is going to enable bobby to drop 400 pound and get down to only 230.  i think i desereve some cred and i was a darn good player when i went to Murvul myslef.  I do have to thank David Large for never giving up on me and also putting all my bball camp teams out of the tournament
