MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[wilburt]

Point well made and taken Mr. Carlweathers.

I just wanted to bring attention to the fact that the Lady Scots had to play essentially the number one seed in the tournament in the second round.  So we can complain about who got in and what not but that is only the beginning.  A tournament is supposed to progess in difficulty until you eliminate the weaker teams, except the cinderellas, and play the best of the best in the end.  I know that geography plays a part and I guess it has to but I bet Wooster is wishing it had gotten sent north or east and not to Transy.  That game should have been played at least one round later.  I know that you got to win with what you brought and win or go home and play whoever but it is just a little frustrating to watch(and by watch I mean check the scores the day after, how about a little tv for Pete's sake!).  Speaking of tv Lagrange has signed a radio contract for 8 home games plus the conference tournament and it will also be on the radio station's website as well.  Keeping up with the Scots and Hawks.

The 8 home games would include the 4 GSAC games Coach Haynes?

I doubt that Fisk will ever get a deal like that even with the campus radio station WFSK.  In a city like Nashville with 4 Division I schools (Vandy, TSU, Belmont, Lipscomb) and 1 NAIA school (Trevecca) it's tough for a small school like Fisk to get articles about the Bulldogs in the sports section of the city's major newspapers much less get any local radio or tv time!

Maryville made the 2nd round again, I think it is about time we looked for a coach who can take us farther, This whole randy lambert thing is getting old, I mean most of us scots fans live in and around knoxville, we can see what unstable coaching positions have done for the vols, maybe put lambert on the hotseat, Beaty is right there, we all know he is the brains in the operation anyway, Lambert is just a pretty face?

[wilburt]

Matt, if you do that you would need to go external like the Vols did.  That would eliminate S. Beaty, and Dee Bell.  Plus Maryville would also have to bring in an Associate Head Coach that played at Fisk like the Vols did with Tony Jones to really run the operation  . 

[mattgrubb]

I agree, we were thinking Latrae Hampton and for you other old school gsacers, did anyone see that Stillman won the SIAC this year, funny they could not do anything in the gsac and are winning the SIAC?

[wilburt]

Grubb it's amazing what scholarships can do for you once you go Division II.  Plus they have a new coach - Leon Douglas who played for the Crimson Tide and the Pistons in the NBA.  There has been debate (not serious) amongst many Fisk alums whether Fisk should go Division II and rejoin the SIAC, but I personally doubt that Fisk's Board of Trustees will ever vote to leave Division III or to reinstate football.

MattGrubb:  Did not know you were so funny.   

[mattgrubb]

i guess a coach with those kind of connections can make a difference, also they did renovate their gym, if you could call it that in the gsac days.  good for them.

Here are some unknown facts about randy lambert
Randy Lambert has never used a question mark in his entire life, he believes the interrogative tense is a sign of weakness.

Randy Lambert can divide by zero.

Randy Lambert counted to infinity, twice.

Randy Lambert's mother called him Randall once.  Once.

Not only does randy lambert talk in the 3rd person, he also sees in the 3rd person.

Tony Duckworth, these are just a few examples of how Lambert is going to gain revenge upon your hawks next year, so tread softly around the gsac next year b/c lambert is looking for you.  You too coach Haynes.

[scottiedoug]

Here is something else about Randy.  He is apparently the coach of the team with the most consecutive years of winning a game in the D3 NCAA tournament.  HoopsFan did a little looking.  Here is part of the post from the Bumblin' B's board:

I remember Maryville. They played in the sectional in 2000 when Calvin won it all.

[mattgrubb]

that was the 2nd year of the run they are currently on

[Spencer Beaty]

did we not loose our first game to mississippi college last year.  We did get a bye so i guess you mean getting in the second round of the tourney.

[Spencer Beaty]

I dont wanna give away anything, but there are some pretty good high school players that i have seen this year that might be making the trip to murvul college.  I just hope that we stay healthy this year.  THE WHOLE TURNOUT OF THE SEASON DEPENDS ON WHETHER JOHANTHON JOHNSON STARTS MAKING 3'S.  That is not an understatement.  Next year if him or Q dont make there 3's that makes one person who can shoot the longball.  So we need to work on that

Coach Beaty, in the 2005 season,  Maryville hosted Methodist and won convincingly.
