MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

[Spencer Beaty]

positive karma for beaty for the first time ever.  Thank you very much all you powerful posters out there

[Spencer Beaty]

The fact is that Basketball has nothing to do with this action.  Basketball is the model program at Fisk.  In the other sports, it's as if there is no attempt to compete. 

Whoa there buddy.  I dont care to admit that fisk might not be so balanced in there sports, but "as if there is no attempt to compete?"  That is really harsh man.  The fact that fisk might not have the talent in some sports but they get out there and im da** sure that they are trying with all they got.  That is what sport is all about.  Lay off dude!

[Pat Coleman]

The student-athletes may be trying to compete, but is the school or athletic department? That's the question.

[scotswin]

Thanks for saying that better than I could, Pat.  The Fisk players I played against always gave a  great effort and were very good sports.

blah, blah
the gsac is the bomb with or without Fisk
Now that we have secured Randy and got him back on a tight leash, lookout for the scots next year, plenty of talent, no brains, sounds like a bad d1 program

i was in birmingham this weekend and there is a strong following for BSC in that town, they are going to make a great D3 institution

[ohyeah]

Congrats to Rusty Walker, former Maryville College basketball player and a 00 graduate of MC on being on the cover of Kiplingers Magazine.  Appears he is doing pretty well for himself. 

Glad winning isnt the only thing we think about

there is the link, fortunately he has gotten better looking since college
I also heard he can bench press the house 12 times

Huntingdon has next season's schedule posted. Looks like HC has added several south region games with Millsaps, Dallas and Rust. Still 5 non-DIII games, down from 7 last season. Two each against Atlanta Christian and Pensacola Christian plus a single game against Wesley(which I assume is the one in Mississippi and not the one in Delaware). Also, the Maryville and Fisk games aren't grouped together as in the past.

Hawks88, I like your schedule.  I can understand that Wesley MS game as filling the open date in a five-team conference.  Also, I would guess that UDallas and Rust will play on Jan 6th in Montgomery in the Brick House Classic III.  The dates with Pensacola Christian and Atlanta Christian are good opponents in the school year, considering the relative isolation of Montgomery AL.

Oh Yea and Matt Grubb it was a pleasure to play against you guys last night. Box in 1 against KG?? WOW!!!
  Hey you guys looked great and played great... FT's were the key... Well looks like I will be with Mr.Spencer Beaty next year!!! No more racial talks its all abotu basketball baby!!!

[mattgrubb]

Killer
Last night was a lot of fun, just a side note, 4 all gsac players on the same floor at the same time, it was fun
Congrats on your new position, it is a long way from Miami to the smokey mountains, good luck

Good job HC, the more respectable games you play the better you will get, win or lose

[GSAC Killer]

We would have been a heck of a team if we would all have played togther.. Me at the point, you and Sidney at the wings, Tummy down low, and Coach Bell!!! What a squad...

  Yes really excited to help the great Spencer Beaty and take them GP highlanders to the district title!!! haha doubtful but not impossible...

[mattgrubb]

GP has a great tradition, like when they graduated Oliver Morton and David Whaley in the same year, Morton went to Ole Miss and then transferred to UTC, where he dominated, and Whaley went to the Naval Academy and transferred to VTech, i don't care what high school team you are when you have two major college players on the same team, you have something special, there is talent in them there hills boy, you just have to do an awful lotta' diggin' to find it

you guys will have a lot of fun though and i might even make a couple of games when you guys roll into the big city

I just got back to the board (been vacating without a computer) and read the stuff apparently based on one article in a newspaper.  William, usually reasonable, sums up his postings with "You all know where I'm coming from and to Lambert's credit we know where he publically stands...."

I read all the posts and the article.  I do not know what Randy Lambert thinks about the Fisk-GSAC issue from anything I read.  I certainly cannot find the slightest evidence that he is a racist or that he was "behind" any move relative to Fisk.

To base conclusions about what Randy Lambert (or anyone else, for that matter) did or believes on one article in a local newspaper is unworthy of someone who often declares his respect for truth.  This is especially the case when William concludes that Lambert is a racist.

I have respected William's opinions even when I disagreed with them, but this "opinion" about Coach Lambert's character is unworthy of respect.
