MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

ODE TO MURVUL

It's "Lambert's System!"  Raul bragged and boasted.
Said Fisk won't beat them, in the rematch they hosted.

86-76, now what is this?
Yes, mighty Murvul has just lost to Fisk!

They're happy in Nashville, and I feel dandy;
Now that Doc Glover has beaten ole Randy.

Today Murvul fans are sad and down;
Cause Fisk just got closer to the GSAC crown.
 
You see, Raul's trash talk was foolishness really;
It's he, who is now looking quite stupid and silly!

Congrats to Fisk but Wilburt, I hope you dont act like the players that represent you.

William:  You are a classy and clever fellow.  Fisk played well.  Maryville did not.  It had to end someday. 

Too bad some Fiskers haven't got the sportsmanship thing figured out better.  I don't really like Coke either but I'm not sure it gives me an excuse to try to bust up the scoreboard.

William,

Congrats on the win. I'm sure you are thrilled ... I know I would be.

But it seems to me good sportsmanship dictates that you acknowledge the fact the Monte Calloway (IMHO, the leading candidate for GSAC POY) didn't play.

But I may be premature with that POY projection. With the roll Bradley Blair has been on lately, it may be too soon to count him out.

And what's the deal with Chris Adams? Based on my limited personal experience, he seems like a nice young man. But this is the second time I've heard stories of him going ballistic. Was that against Murvul last year too?

Also, I gotta disagree with you about Raul looking stupid and silly. He's right ... "Lambert's System" is still the Gold Standard of the GSAC. It's going to take more than one conference loss to change that. Maybe sometime in the not too distant future the rest of can help continue the trend Fisk has started.

Again, congrats on the win.

 Well I was about to go to sleep but I wondered if people like Mr.Burton aka Wilburt would come out of hiding...
As a player I never made an excuse but the fact that two potential player of the year candidates are not 100% its tough to win games.. But hey I am not poor sport like some players from Fisk.uhmmm #34!! . It shows how big of a win it is when you beat the Scots.. We beat you at your place and its just another win. We eat our burger and fries ( by the way there great!)...We don't act like straight wild animals from the jungle we just get on the bus and go....
 By the way the reason we lost is because we didnt use our system!Bo I hope you read this all players have bad games its just how you bounce back!! Lead us to the one that counts thats in February!!
I post here to have some fun but I guess people do indeed take this serious so listen to this Wilburt... Your Fisk Bulldogs NEVER BEAT ME! Second they are 2-30 lifetime(30 is a little exagerration but your 2 for life against us).. So to conclude I say this: learn to 1) Win with Class..2) Its not our fault you guys don't like Coke.. 3) Placeres and his team was 5-0 lifetime and undefeated !!4) Lastly ask you players what they told me after the game..hint hint .. If I would have played the undefeated streak would have continued shows the respect they have unlike you...

P.S. Its a great thing to be a Fighting Scot.. They beat us once and its like winning the dang National Champioship... Congrats no doubt it was a great win to your team and you program but be more consistent in beating us and making the National Tournament and then you have the right to talk..... You basically acted like your players tonight on this harmless message board.. Hey by the way welcome back after your hibernation after your defeat in Nashville.... Much love though... Oh yea my girls won 8282383273247730732...!!! So I am still undefeated not only as a player but a COACH!!hahahahahahaha

You know what you just said could be construed as a racist remark!

Read the article:

It is conceivable that Fisk and Maryville could play each other two more times this season.  Once in the GSAC tourney and the other in the NCAA tourney provided both teams get Pool B bids!

No excuses, you play with the players you got...
If playing without Golden and Calloway was good enough to beat a Division II team, then it should have been good enough to beat Fisk.  You can't have it both ways!   

Oh yeah, I post to have fun too !

it could...if you were a hyper-sensitive person...if the details of the article are accurate, i'd say that description is pretty apt - you CAN'T be proud of those actions, and honestly, if you're defending them, you aren't the person i thought you were

great poem, though, and nice win for FISK

[wilburt]

I am not defending anybody's actions.  They speak for themselves.  It's one thing to say someone acted unsportsmanlike - That's fine. 

It is quite another to say that players from an historically black college acted like animals from the jungle - That's crossing the line in my book.  If you are defending that statement Narch, then you aren't the person I thought you were either.

Thanks for the compliment on the poem, though!

[fiskfan]

Hey  thats a big win for fisk . Why everybodt want to talk about chris adams attitude he just plays hard. He dont baged down from anyone both of them technicals fouls where questionable especially the second he was on the other in of  the court celebrating. He was a good sport about he shook the coaches hand and everything. Adams is  a good kid  i was at he game last night.  I told yall he was back He had 12pts 5assist 1 TO and 3steals  thats good for a point guard. Williamson, Adams and Patton are the best backcorut in the conference wilth the help of Eric Pillow off the bench. Adams plays with passion thats all .


PS. FISK SHOULD HAVE 3 FIRST TEAMERS THIS YEAR AND TWO SECOND TEAMERS ALSO.

[ohyeah]

Chris, thank you for your assessment of yourself.  If your actions werent that bad....why do you feel the need to defend them?

Wilburt, why does this board have to turn racial?  Truth, Raul has probably seen and heard as much of that stuff as Fisk has, so why would he turn it into racial remarks?

[GSAC Killer]

You sound like the Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, taking things to far.. I will say if you found that offensive those were not my intentions so I apologize if I offended anyone but the way in which your Historically Black College acted after the game " YOU WOULD NOT BE PROUD OF"....
 But hey you did make a valid statement on how we did beat Carson Newman without them and lost to you guys, your right but you guys are just better...
 Once again  congrats on the win and maybe for the first time in since the establishing of the GSAC two potential GSAC teams making the NCAA tournament on the same year...
Hey best of luck the rest of the year and looking forward to that rematch in February...

[mattgrubb]

that makes you 2-13 against MC in gsac play good job
Killer you are an animal

[scottiedoug]

I agree that the Fisk backcourt, including Chris Adams, is very good.  Maryville's "System" can beat a talented and big team like Fisk's but only if the players utilize it, which they did not do last night.  They did so against Carson Newman, without Bobby and Monte, but last night seemed to be trying too hard and rushing.  Fisk's defensive pressure was a problem but I did not think it was so intense that the Scots were taken out of their game by it alone.

I would rather have Bo not play the point...it is not his natural game (yeah we missed Raul).  Maybe young Coppage can grow into the role?

If the jungle remark had come from some redneck white guy I would completely agree with William and even so there were other ways to say what needed said.  The behavior in question was not close to acceptable even if the naming of it crossed a line.

A rematch at the GSAC would be helpful in figuring out who ought to get a Pool B.  There is little chance the loser of the rematch will get one.  And at least MC has some business to take care of next weekend for it to matter.

wilburt...understood, i think - to clarify, if he had left out the word jungle and said something like wild animals from the desert or plains or forest, the statement would have been fine, right?

while i agree that what killer wrote wasn't necessarily RACIALLY SENSITIVE, i find it hard to make the assumption that someone using a racially insensitive anology is RACIST

I agree with 95% of Doug's comment.  That's why I respect him so much.

Narch first said that Raul's comments were "apt" and now he said there were "racially insensitive."  Makes me wonder?Nonetheless, Raul has made a half-@$$ attempt at an apology which I accept.  Let's get back to talking basketball.

I may go back into hibernation, now that I see how much it drives you Murvul guys crazy!
