MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[GSAC Killer]

you will probably see Andy Chaney down there... He has migrated to the MIA

[mattgrubb]

I bet south beach has been on fire since he got there,
Do you think he is dominating the latin women or is he behaving very presidential?

GSAC Women side.....no comments!!!!!!!

Was wondering if Coach Bell signed the point guard he was trying to get out of Florida?

Anyone knows?

Thank you!

So Lambert's mad with Dr. Glover and now he wants to kick Fisk out of the GSAC.  Randall Lambert is a racist and has the nerve to hide behind his "newly found" concern for Fisk's athletic budget?  Come on Lambert I'm no fool...

Maryville is a D3 school with a D1 attitude, while Birmingham Southern is a D1 school with a D3 attitude.  Go figure...

Under the GSAC Constitution it takes a 2/3 vote to expel a school.  That means 6 out of the 8 schools!

Wilburt,
Why are you playing the race card so early in the game? Apparently you read a different article than the one that I read. What I drew from reading that article is that- (1) Fisk has not been able to field competitive athletic teams over the last few years- It was sad to see the records of their athletic teams last year. (2) That Fisk is not making an effort to fund their teams with at least enough money to try to be competitive in this league.
By the way- I have heard that Fisk has showed up at a GSAC contest and not even had enough players to field a team, or have chosen to not show up at all and forfeit the game.

Don't insult my intelligence by hiding behind that. We both know the real deal!  Six going on seven years into the GSAC and now all of a sudden everyone is concerned about Fisk's athletic department.  I call them as I see them Highlander and don't insult my intelligence again...

Hey Wilburt,
Do not get short with me. I am not trying to insult your intelligence, yet maybe if you would stop being so defensive you would realize that I was trying to have a civil conversation with you. Earlier you had replied that all Maryville cared about was winning, yet to me it seems as if  you- (1) Only care about Fisk athletics winning againest Maryville in men's B- ball and (2) That maybe Fisk as a school doesn't care if their athletic programs are successful i.e. Not providing with the necessary funds to compete at a competitive level with the rest of the conference.

Wilburt,
 A man of such wit should not be acting like this. The facts are the facts its that simple. Fisk has been given more than enough time to make all GSAC participating teams catch up to teh erst of teh GSAC. The problem is besides your Men's basketball team no other team is even competitive. You lose almost every soccer,volleyball, baseball game every year by large margins. Now you might tell me well we can't get the players the others school get but its fair game for everybody since no Athletic scholarships are given out. At any other program in the country most of the athletic department at Fisk would have been fired solely based on performance.
 You might think Randy is racist I for one don't but put yourself in the shoes of all those athletic directors throughout the conference who have to make all types of arrangements once these teams can't make it to matches or games because of lack of competitors. Money is lost!!
 Wilburt your a great guy but don't pull the race card on this. If it was Piedmont Randy would say and try to do the same things.
 Well I hope all this gets resolved because in the end its all about the student-athletes!

p.s. Highlander My recruit from Miami is almost in. Just waiting on some paperwork. She will be the Freshman of the Year in the conference.

Enough said...   Sounds like a D1 attitude to me fellas!

I don't recall these problems when we were in the SCAC. 

[GSAC Killer]

its not a DIV I attitude its life, reality whatever you choose to call it. Sorry Wilburt... Its not about wins and losses its about competition... Being competitive is what its all about.. Those programs I stated don't even compete they just show up...

[mattgrubb]

Wilburt,
not racist, maybe a big time attitude, i guarantee whether in the same conference or not, the rivalry between MC and FU in men's bball will continue, do they fit as conference schools maybe/maybe not, but you sound like a bitter xgirlfriend throwing out the race card.

[Pat Coleman]

now all of a sudden

Why do you assume that it's now all of a sudden? I've been hearing this for almost a year, and if that's the case, it's probably been discussued much longer than that.

[wilburt]

To me it is not necessarily about whether Lambert is right or not.  The way he is/has handling this IMHO leaves a lot to be desired and that is what I am upset about (in addition to some other things GSAC member schools have alleged or done).

I know 100% of you all disagree with me and you can or maybe have called me all sorts of names. So be it. I can live with that.  But I feel strongly that this is not the way to resolve the issue and I still stand by my earlier comments about Lambert.  I refuse to believe that race is not a latent factor behind all of this, despite what you guys say.

Pat are you going to do the Lambert and kick me off the GSAC Board    

[Pat Coleman]

Only if you keep deleting your posts and starting over like you did on that one.

[wilburt]

Now I can't even change my mind huh Pat?
