Pat or Ralph.  Is there some sort of minimum amount of activity needed to retain my screen name and stats.  Last year it deactivated my account

Spencer, Pat Coleman moved the message boards from the old format and server to this current server and the new message board program.

In the process, he practically could not save all of the accounts.

Personally, he consolidated my football account into my hoops account.

I doubt that you will lose you account this off-season..

Maryville, travel safely during the playoffs.

[Hawks88]

Very disappointing. I figured 20 wins and a 13 game win streak at the end would be enough to get in even with the weak schedule. I guess HC will need to work on that in the future.
Congrats, MC. Make the GSAC proud.

All I know is that it is a crock of SH!t for Huntingdon to not make the tournament after beating Maryville twice in 13 days.  Maryville couldn't even win the conference tournament.  It goes to show you that this crap is all politics. 

Huntingdon is the better team and proved it the last two weeks!

Griff, respectfully, Villa Julie prevailed solely on the numbers of an entire season.

D3 does not have the D1 rule of the last 10 games.  I really thought that there were sufficient results in the last half of the season for some subjective criteria to be employed, specifically last half of the season as stated in the handbook.  Quite the opposite!  Any attempt to politic at the national level failed.

This is the second time in 4 years that Maryville has lost in the Tourney and yet gotten a Pool B bid.  I have probably ruffled some feathers about finding at least 2 more men's programs to get to Pool A status.  As I understand the women become Pool A next year.  I hoe that the GSAC can find 2 more men's members.

As I looked at the Maryville page on D3hoops, I saw that this is the lowest point total to which they have been held in the last 4 seasons.

The percentage of the margin of victory 13 points allowed over 48 points scored (27%) is worst defeat handed Maryville TN in that period also, equivalent to a 101 to 80.

I am truly saddened for Huntingdon's omission.

Ditto. Make the the GSAC proud MC!  You got a second chance...

Griffcoach22:  You need some anger management classes and start to look at things objectively. 

[cnufan]

Tell Maryvul to petition the USA South for full time membership, that will solve your Pool B woes!!!

[mattgrubb]

GO SCOTS
Never underestimate Randall D. Lambert

[Griffcoach22]

MattGrubb,

Lambert didn't get this done.  The committee must have felt sorry for them.  Huntingdon whipped their butts twice when it counted. 

I wish them the best of luck in the tournament, however.

Grow Up Griffcoach22 and quit your whining...

Just work harder next year like we have to do in Nashville.

I hope Randy figures out how to get maximum effort out of the whole bunch.  

I agree with Ralph that if it were "politics" (by which I assume Griff means "subjective factors dominating"), the Hawks would be in.

I doubt that Maryville would try to leave the GSAC, which Randy had a lot to do with starting.  It clearly has the potential to be a good AQ conference.  Seems to me that a couple of USASouth schools might want to move to the GSAC to enhance their own shot at a Pool A bid (assuming they think they can handle the competition).

1) I agree, I thought that would be enough.

2) That must have been their undoing. I can't think of any other reason they wouldn't have gotten in. IMHO, over the last month or so, (with Monte out) they were the best team in the GSAC.

I feel badly for the HC players ... I thought they earned the bid.

Congrats to Murvul. I hope you do well.

In my mind, there is one downside to Murvul getting the bid. It sort of sends the message to the rest of the GSAC ... "It's going to take more than just being a little better than MC ... you are going to have to be a lot better, because they are always going to get the benefit of the doubt on close calls."

I guess it's the "Jordan syndrone" ...

Ralph,

I'm having a hard time understanding why the comittee would pick MC over HC. I think it's obvious that Calloway was clearly MC's best player and they aren't nearly the team they were before he got hurt. The Pool B is subjective, right? Doesn't HC beating MC twice lately matter?

I think I remember you saying that non-DIII opponents don't come into play ... so does that means it didn't hurt HC to play so many teams like Carver Bible, Wesley, etc.? But that maybe they played too many weak DIII opponents? Wouldn't it have to be a factor that while they were playing the Carver Bibles, etc. ... that they weren't playing a tougher opponent, like a DII Carson Neuman or a North Ga?

I'm confused ... it just seems to me that HC earned it by what the did on the court the last month or so ...

One more question for you, re becoming an AQ conference ...
If the 6th team (is it 6 or 7?) joined the GSAC tomorrow, would we get an automatic bid next year? Or is there a waiting period?

[mattgrubb]

Bitterness is not an attractive quality, i always treat the girl at the bar that is bitter about her xboyfriend very poorly, but i always get it done

Strength of schedule obviously had a lot to do with it

Pat
seems the committee has a sense of humor, Mississippi College could play maryville twice in one weekend?

[mattgrubb]

The golden dome will rock out with 2 maryvilles in one place.  I love the golden dome.  I am going to meet an MC Choctaw alum for lunch right now, i am going to try and poison his pizza.  Go Scots.

Bobby The Golden Dome will be his name after this weekend
