Bruce Pearl has almost reached Lambert status in this area and Tony Jones, who is cool as a fan, is a big part of that

Great Article William

We just have to get Tony to attend a Maryville-Fisk game next season, before he takes a Head Coaching job at another D1 school.

Go Vols

Go Bulldogs

I actually talked to him about Fisk one day, i don't think it would be too hard to do, if UT was not playing that night

I did have to let him know that maryville had a superior basketball program though, i tried to be diplomatic, but in the end, The Scots dominate the GSAC

saw Bruce Pearl today at Blackberry Farms.  He is sure living the high life.  In other news his son is walking on at the university of tennessee.

Some recruiting news for LaGrange football.

when did lagrange get a football team?

Not sure maryville can dominate them in football the way we do in bball

[Highlander]

Grubb,

Why are you doubting the Fighting Scots Football Team. I believe that they have showed a few steps in the positive direction. Maybe, we can even get the Cooper Crazies,who aren't football players to provide the home field advantage that they provide the B-Ball team.

[mattgrubb]

i am not doubting them, i am just pointing out the obvious, Tony has a couple more years of work before he can reach Randy status, i am all for crowd support, there is nothing better than when Boydson Baird gym rocks out with 400 crazy students, but there is a lot of tradition with bball, football has improved under tony, but they still have a lot of work to do, and the best way to get fan support is to play hard and keep a good attitude which is something that the maryville college basketball team is losing, fans appreciate effort more than winning, fans are the first ones to notice how hard you played, win or lose

Back again with some reports on my new favorite player Alex Bowers.  This kid is a player.  He is smart and can do it all.  When he slams it Boydson will be rocking.  Can't wait for that to happen
