i definitley have the worst karma ever i think budha is going to bite me

Spencer Beaty · January 14, 2006, 10:04:28 PM

i would like to take this moment to congratulate and give some dapps to bradely blair. He played probably his best game against fisk and played defense. this is so shocking because most of the time bradley has a tough time "D"ing up in the clutch. I witnessed a big time chewing by coach lambert earlier in the year which might have sparked him into playing some quality D

Mr.Wilburt: My posts are venemous?? I am just having a little bit of fun, is that not what this is all about.. There is no reason to get all emotional about it and state that you have suspicions? Suspicions of what? If you are not able to realize that Maryville runs the table year in and year out then your blind.. Every year before the start of the season people question Coach Lambert's team because of losing seniors or the rising of some team in the Conference but in the end its the same results: Maryville in the NCAA Tournament..
P.S. Wilburt no need to leave for so long..
By the way I met Old Lion at the game and it was a pleasure to meet you.. It was also real nice to hear how you enjoyed watching me play. Best of luck the rest of the way!

Killer, it was nice to meet you as well. I'm starting to recover from the disappointment of Saturday's game enough that I can at least talk about it.

We are much improved this year and I thought we were ready to run with the big dogs ... but apparently we still have some work to do.

Kudos to Maryville. They are an extremely well coached team. We are well coached too, but with Maryville you can just see the ingrained effect of years of running their system. IMHO, I thought Lambert did a great job of getting his "big three" major minutes while running a bunch of other guys in and out. The result was to always have a potent mix on the floor while keeping everyone fresh and keeping the intensity level high.

William, please keep us posted on Chris Adams. My wife and I both had the opportunity to speak with him in Nashville last year. Seems like a good guy and he is a great competitor. Here's wishing him a speedy recovery.

ya'll need to get off my scots
It is tough being a maryville, it is content when we win and anger when we lose, we hardly ever have excitement from victory b/c we are so used to it
but we are not like big time programs where we get mad at our coach for petty stuff, We love the guy with the big head, he is our leader
The scots are getting to where they rival Hampden Syd. just need a couple of games deeper in the tourney, next to platteville we ruined their best chance to win a title and ever since then things have been going great. We were one shot away from an Elite eight in 04, and our games are usually competitive, not many blow outs in the tourney and they do usually ship us up north. Can't wait for march
Where is Shelia Evans?

Dont be so quick to talk murvul fans. We do have fisk coming to our building and since the retiring of hamburgular boydson hasnt been its old self. We also have methodist oglethorpe and who could forget the big CN coming to town

Spencer Beaty · January 17, 2006, 07:00:47 PM

im not sure if bobby was limited in the cafeteria or kicked out of golden corral but he wasnt himself in the fisk game. He didnt have his normal "im fat can u stop me" vibe going on. And as a fellow food lover i know how it feels when the gravy doesnt quite go down right. Hang in there bob and drink a gallon of milk for me

mattgrubb · January 18, 2006, 09:19:25 AM

Bobby is not fat, he is just a little thick
I heard it was indigestion, Chaney told me he tried to eat a midget and got most of it down
I can't wait for the big CN game i think this is our year we should have the advantage on the inside

Shiela Evans was injured in an accident with a male cheerleader. I don't know the extent of her injury but alledgedly she did suffer a strain of the medial collateral ligament adjoining the tendons in her left knee that support the brickhouse that is Shiela Evans. Reports that Joe Black and the Therapy Center are trying to get her ready for the postseason seem to be unfounded. But back to hoops, while touring the MC campus today with a visitor with knowledge of many of the prestigious D3 Schools of Ohio (Wooster, Wittenberg, John Carroll etc.) said visitor was impressed with the college and its facilities. Not surprising at some point after repeated upgrades to the campus if Maryville is not invited back to the ODAC, or forms a Southern League with like schools of academic interest and ability (Sewanee, Rhodes, Transy,Oglethorpe) as rumors to that effect are somewhat rampant these days. GO SCOTS! Go Shiela! And Go up up up Under Armour stock!

Rough night in Montgomery tonight ... the only thing worse than Huntingdon's stat guy was Piedmonts shooting.

We were 17 of 64 from the field tonight ... 27% ... unbelievable! If we had only shot poorly (as opposed to atrociously) ... we would have won easily. We lost by 4. We played hard and staged a valiant comeback (we were down 19 at one point) ... but if you shoot that poorly, I guess you just have to forget about it and move on. But that one hurts ... it was one we coulda/ shouda won ... Oh well, no one died ...

But I'm sure you are all wondering about Huntingdon's stat guy ... I thought the guy at LaGrange was bad ... this clown tonight had us for 1 assist and 19 turnovers ... please!!! We had to have at least 8 or 9 assists on the 17 buckets we did make ... If you just don't give a s**t, that's fine ... just get the heck out of the way and put a chimp or some other mildly intelligent life form at the controls and see what it can do ... it would have to be an improvement ...

But a final word of encouragement for our Piedmont guys ... I guess we can take some solace from the fact that we hung tough ... that in spite of shooting like we did, we didn't quit and amazingly, actually had a shot at winning there at the end. Tomorrow will be a better day ... it will have to be ...

See ya, I think I'll go toss and turn for a while ...

On the SCAC board earlier this week, mattgrubb opined:

Maryville is set to continue its domination of the SCAC, sewanee is the scots next victim, should be a blowout, can't wait to see the results, get ready SCAC maybe you will send your conference champ to maryville again this year to get run in the NCAA tourney

Sewanee 75, Maryville 73. Sewanee (the last place team in the SCAC, playing without two injured starters) improved their record to 5-10.

Stop by again any time, Matt.

mattgrubb · January 19, 2006, 09:27:07 AM

what a joke
the scots are young this year, but that is pathetic
I bet practice is going to be fun today

coachwgh · January 19, 2006, 10:26:07 AM

O.K. OldLion I am going to appologize for this before I even begin, but enough is enough. Leave my stat and clock and anybody else associated with LaGrange alone and Kiss It. I ignored the first post you made about our clock person and that you saw better at rec league games and now you want to throw our stat guy in the mud over being upset at playing bad on the road in conference. In case you didn't notice Huntingdon is pretty good, especially at home and especially defensively at home. I saw Piedmont miss some open jump shots(that they hit at LaGrange) but most shots were contested by Huntingdon's huge or at least long armed line up. Good Luck with Fisk.

Maryville loses at U of the South. Initially I am surprised but that is a tough place to play. We have only played there twice and both times it was the day classes got out for Thanksgiving so I never got a true feel for the atmosphere. It looks like they were able, like we were, to force turnovers out of Maryville but they were able to finish the game, unlike us. The Garcia kid may be the best 2nd half player I have ever seen.

We are off to Rust for the weekend to see if we can put something together down here.

Hey, I hope everyone had a good MLK Day and took a moment to reflect that no matter who you are and where your from, someone came before you and possibly opened up opportunities that might not have been there without someone ordinary doing great things like King. It doesn't matter what color you are in order to do great things that will affect all people. College athletes are living King's dream. It doesn't matter your color if you can play; you can play!

ohyeah · January 19, 2006, 10:36:34 AM

Lagrange's stat and clock guys are terrible. But nobody will ever compare to Fisk's announcer. Long live the days of the "crossed up", "in your face", and "broken ankles" coming over the PA system.

William, where is that guy at now?

Also, Coach Haynes, why dont you guys hire the kid that played a couple years back that looked like Wally Cleaver. That kid was awesome and I bet he would do an excellent job.
