As a fan I’d like to use this window of opportunity to become elite. No guts no glory. The more rational side of me wonders if the NCAA would come down on us hard if we decided to jump in guns blazing and we’d be stuck in a legal battle. Who else would the NCAA like to punish more? I suppose this on...

If I understand this correctly, starting July 1st, Liberty can legally compensate athletes. This could give us a huge leg up in recruiting in football and other sports. Interesting Mccaw is quoted in the article: McCaw said Liberty planned to adhere to the NCAA's restrictions. Athletic directors fro...

I’m sad about this. I strongly doubt we’ll pick up 3 players that can contribute like Venzant. That’s a lot of transfers to fill and while Liberty is attractive to some athletes, it’s not like we can just mass offer scholarships to all the top transfers and expect that to work culturally. I’m not a ...

Saw this article ranking every team in attractiveness for conference realignment. I know we aren’t the most attractive but was surprised to see us practically dead last. I’m sure our religious/political affiliation was factored in the equation. https://footballscoop.com/news/every-fbs-school-ranked-...

Pretty epic meltdown in crunch time for Liberty. Can’t make a free throw. Can barely get a shot off.

This Liberty team looks surprised anytime one of their layups go in.

My opinion is higher seeds should get home court in smaller conferences. It's good for the conference to have the strongest team they can in the big dance. I think ballcoach will have the same opinion when we finish the regular season #1 in conference in future seasons.

Liberty playing UTEP tonight! Clearly excitement is down this season with not a lot of chatter on here about our first C-USA tournament. I know I’m in the minority but I think we have as good as shot as anyone to win this tournament. Sure we haven’t played well recently, but nobody is intimidating i...

Ok, so you’re saying G5s did have leverage to keep it 6+6 and chose not to for an unknown benefit (perhaps money or perhaps not losing a G5 autobid in the future). It sounds like you’re giving the G5 reps the benefit of the doubt that they made a fair trade. Without knowing the details of the negoti...

The season isn’t over. We dropped to 90 in the BPI. We can’t finish 2nd at this point but 3rd is a possibility and maybe a probability at this point.

The sky is a bit cloudy but not falling.

The pac-2 held out for awhile but was offered enough money to agree to the new model. I assume it was the same with the G5. With this new format being discussed it does not have to be unanimous and since the P4 has double the voting power, they don't need the G5 to agree to anything. Why would the ...

They don’t put up a fight because they don’t really have any leverage. The G5 need the P4 more than the other way around This is exactly what I was gonna say. It's not like the G5s can just refuse to play until the P4 gives them a better deal. We would just be doing them a favor at that point and c...

It's amazing at how little of a fight, if any, that it appears that the G5 and Mid-major conferences and their Commissioners put up against the Power conferences. 1st it was the First 4 play-in games, then the NIT changes, the recent change of 6+6 to 5+7, and now this proposal. You'd think that the...

Having more bids designated to a conference is not a good idea. You want more teams in the playoffs? They’re called at large bids and they’re based on your ranking. Seems silly to designate a certain number of teams per conference (outside of maybe conference champions) as strength of conferences na...

Obviously having 2 automatic bids for G5 would have been better than 1, but I think a lot of us saw this coming. To be honest, I'm not sure we really can complain, as under this format we would have been in the CFP this year. I was really hoping we'd get one year of 6 plus 6, with Kaidon and most of...

Update to BPI is that we are 77. This is where we started the year at. Of course our resume is on the 120s meaning our record is much worse than the team is, but basically this team has performed as expected. The BPI predictor has us finishing second in conference and a decent shot at making the tou...

I’m glad to see some trust in McKay on here. I’ve seen some already calling for his job on X/Twitter. That’s very embarrassing for the fan base in my opinion.

Was there ever any closure on his arrest? I wonder if that was part of the reason no one picked him up along with his inability to play right away. I found an article from last summer where he said a few teams contacted him but none seriously recruited him. He did ultimately end up signing with the...

Santa Clause punched a guy in the schnoz? I did not know that. You didn’t know that cuz it’s likely not a real thing. The first documentation that that happened was a thousand years after he died. If it were true it seems like something that there would be a record of before that. Sarcasm. Just pla...

Bump, this highlight video is really well done:

I thought Dae Dae went to the XFL but maybe I’m misremembering.

I think he had to sit a year due to the 2 transfer rule that has since been lifted.

What's the gut feeling on CJ? My gut is that he and KSalt were a packaged deal. When KS made a quick about face, CJ was busy enjoying the love from other schools. Kick the tires on some other offers but he is back to finish on the mountain next season. No harm in living it up on some other folks di...

Quinton may turn into a critical piece to our offense next year. My nomination for Understatement of the Year. I mean he was kinda sorta a key component this year :D I know you guys are just giving me a hard time, but I'm not sure that represents the full context. That post is from 2022 when Dae Da...
