Lipscomb Football

What's going on over at Lipscomb? 0-5 on the season.  Can't remember the last time that happenedl, if ever.

Last nights game against GCS they had some injuries that probably kept them from winning the game. QB and starting tailback both left the game hurt.

What about the first 4 games? Ensworth is understandable (losing to them, not scheduling them!), but FRA? Columbia Academy?

They play little single A South Pittsburg this week. Should be an easy game for them.

Sarcasm alert

Booger just sayin

Lipscomb does not get the type kids they used to. They are all at CPA. They have dropped off in every sport. Playing everything but football in the large division is going to destroy their athletic program. They just can't compete at that level.

From watching the video the starting QB and #21 for Lipscomb are really good players.  I think #21 scored all of the Mustangs points and if he is banged up might be a very long season for them.  Yes South Pitt may be small in terms of the number of students, but they will bring a good team with a long history of beating much bigger schools.

Looking forward to welcoming the Mustangs to the PITT Friday night. Safe travels.

It's more than the football program - Lipscomb needs a new athletic administration. It has been going downhill for a number of years. The choices of coaches recently have been abysmal. Unfortunately, leadership doesn't seem to care all that much.

In private school sports programs, you are always one bad hire away from disaster. All of the publics picked on the privates for recruiting. The thing the publics dont realize is how difficult it is to keep and maintain a private school program. Publics have little to worry about when it comes to losing players to other schools. Yes, I know it happens, but not at the rate it can happen to privates. It appears that Lipscomb has fallen victim to this very thing. All you have to do is look at Ezell Harding and what has happend there in the last few years and you get the picture. I would think CPA has taken a lot from the mid-size private pool.

You may want to start by replacing Randy Lowery and all of his California political correctness.  Until the old Lipscomb family circles the wagons and has a president and the majority of it's board of directors from Lipscomb they will continue to have problems.  

 

Not picking of David Lipscomb because there are other private schools that have made the same mistakes and they are also suffering.

So a university president is making the high school coach run an antiquated offense and hiring second tier coaches?  I'm not buying that.  The Headmaster, AD, head football coach, every single football assistant (and while we're at it, the head boy's and girl's basketball coaches) are all "from Lipscomb" and that entire athletic program is a only a shell of what it once was.  It used to be fun to play Lipscomb because they were good.  Heck, they even kicked our butts several times over the years.  Now, it's just sad, really.
