MBB: American Southwest Conference

[Ralph Turner]

Lest I be de-Karmatized again, the last comment was merely a joke.  In all sincerity, I applaud those willing to call out the comments about Betty.  I am sure he is a great player, but enough is enough.  MC played one half of great basketball, and one half of mediocre basketball, and won the game on a good effort, not the misfortune of an opponent.  They've done it 26 (?) times this year, and to say the last one was due to anything other than being a great basketball team is demeaning to the hard work of that group of young men.  Tonight should be a great game, and I'll go in expecting the same result as last night.  Go Choctaws (again, a reminder, "Chocs" is not an acceptable substitute for Choctaws, per the Choctaw tribe of Mississippi)  

I didn't smite you.

And I am happy that Mississippi College can still use their "Choctaw" nickname.

We still have Tipi Village, the Spirit Wind statue on the commons and an 84 year tradition that honors the Native American people whom our founding president first loved.

Go Choctaws!

Pardon my ignorance, but did McMurry lose the "Indians" nickname?  As previously stated, I usually only come out of my hole at playoff time.  If they indeed did, what are the possible replacements?

[NCChoctaw]

In a slightly related note, how about those Ole Miss Rebels, picked last in the SEC West, finishing with at least a share of the West Title!  Go Rebs! (this is an acceptable substitute.)

We lost all appeals last spring and summer.  In October, after a study group recommendation and deliberation by the Board of Trustees, McMurry chose to avoid Sanctions by going without a nickname.

Here is a Daily Dose link that covers most of it.

That bites. To me, you guys will always be the Indians.  The NCAA really overstepped its bounds.

Secondly, you article begs the question:  Did the registrars office realize you had some Choctaw blood when they let you in?    See, deep down, you bleed blue and old gold.

[Ralph Turner]

But my theology is deeply and profoundly Wesleyan!

Would you accept my Infant Baptism, my love of Open Communion and my salvation due to dying to self and my accepting God's Prevenient Grace?

I acknowledge that I am prone to backsliding, but I gotta root for the Choctaws tonight!   

[NCChoctaw]

The infant baptism and open communion I'll let slide.  Grace gets you a pass, but that's another board. 

Glad to have you on the Choctaw reservation tonight!

NCChoctaw, I think I just smited after my post on Infant Baptism and Open Communion!

There must be some real Baptist posters on the board tonight!   

[NCChoctaw]

We're a loyal bunch.  If you're keeping up with the board right now, what's your first half eval?

[mattgrubb]

i think as usual the chocs start out quick
the chocs are shooting 55% and the scots are shooting 29% there is any explanation
the fouls are onesided but that is always they case, there are always excuses and i won't use that one, we are playing in clinton, that is to be expected
the bottomline is shooting
foul trouble could be a problem for the scots
if the chocs simmer down in the 2nd half the way they did last night the scots have a chance
but an exciting 1st half, it is awesome to be able to watch it

[NCChoctaw]

The fouls are lop-sided, but, isn't that consistent with what we know about both teams?  A few calls were missed on both sides as well.  I may be biased, but the Choctaws again look like the much better team.  Announcers now saying VWC hangs on for the win.  We're going to Norfolk.

[Ralph Turner]

Grubby one, I understand that you told Coach Lambert that if you were given the winning MegaMillions ticket that you would put up a Diamondvision in the Boydston Baird! 

[NCChoctaw]

unbelievable that the jersey rip off wasn't called!

Woah, Maryville looks way tired. This game is totally over.
