MBB: Great South Athletic Conference

Coach: I know you know this, but E&H will make it really hard for you to get the ball upcourt after they score. And their shooters are required to shoot from absolutely all over the place. Coach Johnson has taken an extended leave to get treatments for cancer and an assistant has taken over. It is really a sad situation.

I agree doug, Coach Johnson is a good dude, he will remember my little joke that some of you know and still mortifies randy lambert to this day. In true murvul fashion, we took care of you young casey johnson when he spent a week with us at murvul in the summer.

Coach haynes, i will say your backcourt sure will get a work out in that first game. Also, if you have any newcomers that like to score, welcome to D3 bball.

The scots have quite a task when they take on Averett. I still think the scots are going to come out victorious though.

There are a lot of good matchups for the GSAC that first week including Rust, Sewanee, and Centre. I will be at the tournament at murvul so be ready.

Go Scots!!! I am starting the timmy blakely POY campaign today so all of you jump on board TB'08

I used to get booed a lot in high school, but that may have been because of my mullet and the fact that I wore purple high tops.

...scary!

Quote from: coachwgh on November 13, 2007, 06:54:51 AMOur final scrimmage went well. We definitely finalized some depth chart questions and discovered our remaining weaknesses that we will be working on. There will be times this season where we won't have a senior on the floor and possibly no one with previous LC experience on the floor either....scary!

coach...please expand on these weaknesses...tell us all about them...and don't fix them until after december 2 at about 5:30 pm

Fellow posters,
I am trying to get a certain student section pumped up. You represent different colleges and regions of the south. I need a couple really good cheers...any help?

Rah Rah Rah
Punch 'em in the Head
Bite 'em Bite 'em
Kill 'em Dead

or

Rah Rah Ree
Kick 'em in the knee
Rah Rah Ruts
Kick 'em in....

the other knee!!

Sad! That's all I got!

CNU85 · November 13, 2007, 05:17:21 PM

this board must be tough...I see one poster with about 150 posts and a negative 55 Karma...another guy with 300 posts and minus 75....

Brutal!

Spencer Beaty · November 13, 2007, 07:06:28 PM

yeah that is how we roll here on this board...go hard or go home.

Spencer Beaty · November 13, 2007, 07:07:48 PM

on the line of cheering i hope the scots can muster a better "is that not the winning team" cheer. Last year was one weak one after the next.

scottiedoug · November 13, 2007, 09:34:48 PM

Yeah the USASouth board is a pushover!

mattgrubb · November 14, 2007, 09:46:23 AM

i hope wilburt was not watching ESPN last night as they showed the score of the women's Fisk vs. Lipscomb game last night, let's just say you have all seen the outcome of their games and Jay and Hubert shared a laugh

Spencer Beaty · November 15, 2007, 04:14:21 PM

well when anyone gets beat by 101 points you know there is something wrong.

scottiedoug · November 17, 2007, 11:09:52 PM

Looks like Mr. Bowers is ready for the challenge as Murvul handles the pre-season USASouth favorite. Anybody see it?

Ralph Turner · November 18, 2007, 07:54:01 PM

Good report, battered bard!

I think that Murvul can take it to the next level with Bowers!

Coach Haynes,

Amazing game Friday night, very entertaining ... I have to admit I'm not a big fan of Emory and Henry's style (giving up 50+ layups per game is not my idea of defense) ... 15 deep, 5 in and 5 out, every minute to minute and a half, like hockey line changes. But they certainly executed it well and played with impressive energy.

Render has got to love you for opening with that game. It got his FG% stats off to a heck of a start. It could be 2008 before his cumulative FG% drops below 60%.

Check this out.

Last year, their 25 opponents combined, shot 59.5% from the field against them ... wow.

However, I was disappointed when I reviewed the box score. Those guys sitting at your table are still apathetic re tracking assists ... There was great ball movement and unselfish play by both teams ... I would estimate in the neighborhood of at least 80 or so assists (on 166 FGs) combined. Your stat people recorded 28 ... that's sad. Landon, I feel for you, buddy.

well i noticed that the Murvul v. Averett game was tabbed as worth watching and i bet it was. Alex Bowers break out performance in the season opener. If everyone remembers, Bowers started to break out last season but it was tough with all that emphasis on the post game last year. Now Bowers has his chance. Good job scots and good luck in Danville. Did anyone notice that Averett was second in receiving votes and centre was third. if the scots beat both of them, shouldn't they be considered for the top 25, but let's not get ahead of ourselves b/c centre is a very tough place to play.

Go Scots

Good win for the Scots.

Piedmont is also off to a nice start.
