There is no reason for any Coach to use profanity.

It's unfair to one team to have to play championship game on the oppents home court. that should be a no-no. play it at a neutral site
it is embrassing, that;s why conference should find a suitable site. a tourney game should have fans from each school in attendance, not just 2 or 3 parents, the bus driver and a member of the athletic administration.
The "Liberty Way" should not have anything to do with any other conference. I have seen teams come into Williams Stadium and get beat, then get in huddle with LU for a prayer. That is a beautiful scene, no matter how you look at it.
Bottom line is there are venues within the boundaries of Big South conference that could be used for tournament. In any conference, jsut becasue Podunk College or Horseshoe University wins regular season title should not enable them to host conference tourney on their home floor. Tourney should be o...
Question for a Big South board Guru:
Does one have to join/register for each individual school's board to be allowed to post.
I wish Big South schools (and all other schools) would be on rivals network, then posters could use same user name and login.
Very true, most conference schedules are not balanced properly. Too many conferences take the easy way out when making schedules. when EVERY school is fighting for SAME championship, then they should all play SAME schedule. It's important theat the playing field be as level as humanly possible.
I do not think the Big South cares anything about attendance. this thought is based on their current tournament format. Worse thing a conference can do is have tourney at highest seed's arena, simply based on their high seed. A packed gym is not all that great when 99% of the fans are from host scho...
High Point isn't as far away from football as most probably thinks. I wish I could recall what the AD told me. We were having a good conservation and I think he didn't care for a suggestion I made to him on what type coach to hire. Then he went away.
as for scheduling, everyone in conference should play same schedule. it's unfair to schools that have to play tougher teams, where as other teams play cupcakes. As for football, when there are non football schools in a conference, it's not good as a whole. High Point is planning to add football, but...
With all the new video boards, I hope they can do a better job with them than they do with football video board. They do a terrible job with football board, in that they show more students in stands on it than they do action on the field. It's OK to show fans once every so often, but do not keep a c...
As much as I love Liberty University, the Big South Conference is viewed by many as a very weak conference, especially in football. Only way this will improve, is for current teams to get better, and to bring in a couple other "good football schools". Stony Brook ain;t helping because of their locat...
Attendance has been down for a couple years. the administration needs to put pressure on students to attend. with 12,000 on the mountain, I would like to think half would be at every game.
As for JFJ, I think I saw him at Saturday's game.
I agree. Last night may have been best effort of the season. one thing to remember, we want to peak at tournament time
Nothing against Longwood, I have stated that it's a good move for the Lancers, but it is bad for Big South because they do not have football. As for "LU", that is gonna be interesting. Last year I attended a game at Longwood. They had soem organization giving away t shirts. They had "LU" screen prin...
Maybe the Big East and Big South should just combine conferences.
Does any LU Guru know when they are gonna start work on new stadium ?
I do not like Oregon, but I think Kelly is a good coach. Oregon is a media favorite, like USC, Okalhoma, Ohio State, Boise State among others. I hope Oregon stays semi good, so tha tthey can beat USC when needed, to knock the Trojans out of championship picture. Best thing about Oregon is the Duck's...
When is work starting on the new baseball stadium ?
By letting Longwood in, Big South has demonstrated they have very low standards, or maybe no standards at all. If Longwood had football, I would say good move, but they do not. anytime a football conference lets in a non football school, they weaken the conference.
Maybe Longwood has a suitable site for tourney, and that's how they got voted into the league. It can't be much else.
It will be interesting to see what Big South says Longwood brings to the conference, (if anything). By not having a football team, Longwood will weaken the conference. I cannot believe the other Big South schools voted to let them in. granted they need to be in some conference, but Big South isn't t...
By adding Longwood, it waters down the Big South since they do not have football. the last thing the Big South needed was another non football school. LU needs to bolt the Big South at first avaiable opportunity. I hope the current study being done will speed up the exit process.
where is thread at ?
In reality, the tournament SHOULD NOT be on anyone's homecourt, regardless of what they did in regular season. when a conference uses regular season records for site selection, problems arise because some schools do not have suitable facilitites for a tournament. Get a neutral site and play ball.
