So, we agree there is an early season bias?

I'm not saying HSC shouldn't be in the discussion of being a ranked team, but Macon loses an early season game and folks seem to feel the need to find another ODAC team to fill in the void. I'm not impressed with DelVal's or Shenandoah's resume—let's not even begin to discuss Guilford. Central is a good ball team and a 10-0 loss all the way in Iowa doesn't seem too terrible now.

HSC beats W&J by 7 at home; W&J crushes #18 Grove City on the road.

Result?

�HSC ranked 23rd and W&J gets 2 total votes. Week 4 ATN bias?

MC President Coker graduated from Rhodes, so I'm sure that has something to do with the situation we find ourselves in.

As far as other sports, Men's Basketball is strong. Women's team has slid a little recently but historically very good. Both soccer teams usually very competitive. Baseball and softball have picked it up the last couple of years. I suspect we'll have Lacrosse teams before long.

Anyone know what's going on with Berry's Christian Lewis? He had an awkward play on the sideline against Huntingdon in the first quarter and haven't seen him since. Ankle? Knee? The backup has been impressive in his absence.

Gentlemen (and ladies if present/reading): I'm making a return to the boards since COVID hit. I used to post under Scots13, but couldn't recover my login. So, here I am under this handle.

Thank God for Ben Fox and the new(ish) administration headed by President Bryan Coker and AD Andrew Wu. I expect big things in the near future. I live in Virginia and the USA South schedule was better for me, but glad to be in the SAA. Getting old rivals back on the annual schedule is good to see.

Maryville needs to clean up the penalties. If we can, we'll be in the mix rolling into the last two weeks against Berry and Trinity

Greensboro nearly screwed us taking a paid game against Davidson in May. Had to schedule a regional NAIA school that team had a game loss after a school dropped their football program. Glad we beat UPike yesterday in a thriller. NAIA allows for 24 scholarships and they have a lot of TN and KY players from schools Fox & Co. recruit. 0-4 is not good, but 2 losses were to ranked teams and one on the cusp of the top 25.

In other news, yesterday's win was the 325th at home all time. *If* we can win out we'll finally be a .500 program all time. Early years playing Tennessee and Kentucky 40 or so times and losing all but 2 hurt the record. Right now, Maryville has 511 all time victories.

Next Saturday against Sewanee is Maryville's chance to even that all time record. It's 17-16 Sewanee at the moment with a 4 game win streak for my Scots.
