Roanoke is offering $5k/year for students from SW Virginia. Assuming this is a response to E&H, Ferrum and Averett slashing tuition.

That game could not have come at a better time. Rhodes is about as bad of a team I've seen in a long time. Good to get the team their first victory. Still, lots to clean up. 31-3 at half and ended 38-3. Dabrowski had a freshman moment and coughed the ball up around the Rhodes 20 with a minute in the half to give them their one score.

296 yards in the air for Dabrowksi. Hoping his first 300 yard game comes next week under the lights at Centre!

(Centre just wrapped up blasting Bridgewater. Ouch.)

There's a video delay on Flo for the MC-Rhodes game. Fun to hear the result of the play before the snap.

In an era of uncertainty, Maryville College boasts increases in enrollment, retention and graduation rates, and academic profile

Happy news to share.  I believe we've been over 1,200 enrollment once (2015-2016)--hoping the momentum gets us back over 1,200 soon!

It is a popular opinion in Missouri, made more popular by the hype video that Kansas football released two weeks ago.

I think it was in poor taste, but to each their own.

UVA tried a similar albeit tamer version for the WVU game (insinuating Country Roads is about western Virginia (Shenandoah Valley/Blue Ridge) rather than West Virginia), but of course, UVA couldn't included Lee or Stonewall could they?

On another note, having grown up in Virginia and having all the Confederate statues and monuments around, it was a sort of funny touché moment when I visited Charleston, WV for work and drove by an Abe Lincoln statue in front of the Capitol.

(Final note: Stonewall was actually born in present day WV.)

Unpopular opinion: John Brown had a just cause but not just means.

Viewed with a post-2020 lens, Pottawatomie was mass murder and Harper's Ferry would've been another January 6th.

Moral of the story: things feel bad now, but at least it's not 1850's bad.

Does Maryville have the dubious honor of being the best 0-3 in the country after the Heidelberg win at Mount Union?

Tough day with giving up the big plays, but glad to see we fought for four quarters and did not have stupid penalties.

I was wondering when Macon would remember the film and expose our secondary...

Other than the snafu on the opening kickoff, the 1Q was some good quality old school football. Love that both teams are huddling!

R-MC could probably save on game day costs if they didn't have so many random RMC events checkpoints. 4 in a 300 yard walk from parking to the visitor side is a little much.

It's been one hell of a slippery slope going from "let's recognize we aren't angels throughout history" to "damn you, you fascist pig for having your great-great-great grandfather even exist" just by being born with a certain pigment in a certain area without being judged by the content of character. Wild times.

Quote from: jknezek on September 17, 2026, 12:34:30 PMThe ruins of Liberty Hall Academy still stand on W&L's grounds, just across the street from the soccer fields. But W&L's tenuous claim to its 1749 founding rest on Augusta Academy, which could have been one of several small educational buildings in and around the Shenandoah Valley that may or may not have ties to the later Liberty Hall.

If W&L can claim 1749, maybe Maryville should claim 1802. Reverend Anderson was ordained at age 22 and shortly built a two-story cabin called Union Academy, locally referred to as "Mr. Anderson's Log College". I'm kidding, of course. W&L can claim 1749 and we'll keep 1819.

Anderson was born near Lexington and studied at Liberty Hall before heading south to the frontier. Wouldn't mind stopping by and taking a look at the ruins, if allowed, next time I'm in the area.

"Mr. Anderson's Log College" was relocated from Knoxville to the Smoky Mountain Heritage Center in Townsend several years ago after finding itself being in the middle of a developed subdivision.

Thank you for the correction!

It would be interesting to know how many colleges in the South were burned/destroyed during the Civil War. Maryville's original "campus"—better described as its only building— was destroyed by the Confederates under Gen. "Fightin'Joe" Wheeler, not Gen. Sherman as one might think as Maryville is located in Tennessee. Maryville and Blount County were very pro-Union and anti-slavery before and during the War. The faculty at the start of the War were split and the College was closed until 1866 when professor and alumnus Thomas Jefferson Lamar ushered in the "Second Founding".
