corect but once again your team did not make the playoffs!!!

And may also add you are 0-2 against the Killa!! hahahahahahaha...

You did lose 3 games by 4 or less points! You just need RDL magic late in games! I believe he is selling the secret potion for 499.95

After an MRI on Wes Lambert's ankle it was found to be badly sprained and not broken. He is spending 3 weeks in a boot and rehabing after that but it looks better that the original prognosis.

Message from the Alumni to anyone who has met Brent Watts:

In no way, shape, or form do the Student-Athletes of Maryville College act in that way. We apologize if you have met this man. We will try as a family and community to mold him into the True Scot that we know he can become. We have many mountains to climb but we love him as a son and are willing to help him.

If you have any interesting suggestions on how we should approach this delicate case please fell free to post!

BRENT WE LOVE YOU! RANDY LOVES YOU!! WALLACE LOVES YOU!! BEATY LOVES YOU!! TUMMY LOVES YOU!! Housewright loves you! TU NOVIA does not!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Wallace told me to put that)

mi esposa wallace, ay dios mio

The Grubby One is a True Scot 2.0, this is where the scots are headed.

Also, I have a new favorite player to replace Orr/Hernandez. His name will be released to the public soon.

Covenant and Berry have begun the process to join D3. (Post # 1464)

They are starting provisional status in 2009. Their games would count in 2011-12 and would be NCAA tourney eligible in 2013-14.

Here are two likely candidates to join the GSAC, or "the USASouth Southern Division".

Thanks to pabegg for tracking this down!

The AD's for LaGrange and Piedmont have had a meeting with Covenant's people this summer. That is a good decision for them. We would seem like the only conference choice for them. Berry could have hopes for a better academic conference such as the SCAC but who knows. It would make my scheduling a lot less painful to add those guys for one more each a year. It would also help if they weren't giving scholarships, obviously. That would still leave the men one team short of an AQ.

Berry presents a challenge to the SCAC. If one looks at all of the "beauty contest" grades that the college reference services give, then Berry is a better fit than Oglethorpe. The SCAC has said that it is happy with 12 teams. Where will the SCAC find an acceptable number of "travel partners"? (Centenary LA went thru a basketball coaching change and one of the criteria was staying in D-I.)

Can Oglethorpe continue to spend that amount of money on travel? If there is a viable option for "NCAA Division III" in the south that wasn't there in 1991 (i.e., the GSAC or a "merged" USA South) when Oglethorpe joined the SCAC, might a Berry for Oglethorpe arrangment be made? Just thoughts!

what kind of a timetable are we looking at that these schools might make a decision?

Spencer Beaty · August 14, 2008, 01:12:34 PM

even better news on Wes. He is now walking around very comfortably without any support brace. He is also participating in light workouts; a speedy recovery is just what MC needed.

scottiedoug · August 14, 2008, 03:27:44 PM

If Berry and Covenant and Oglethorpe were to join the GSAC, then Berry and Oglethorpe could think they are the best academic schools in the conference instead of being also-rans in the SCAC. Sounds like a plan!!

Exploratory in 08-09.
If they wish to continue, then they would be first year provisional in 09-10.
Games versus the two schools would count as regional games in 11-12, and they would be full NCAA members in 13-14, assuming that they hit all criteria.

I know I'm showing my ignorance but,can they back out at any time and stay NAIA or is there a point of no return?
