This is crazy talk. Of course it's a rivalry. Head on over to Coastal Fans. I see the site traffic numbers on here and LFN. This is the biggest game of the year almost every year. It's not the Iron Bowl, but it is a rivalry.

Coastal is the only program that competes with us in the Big South. Not only that, they are the thorn in our side that has kept us from going where we want to go all too often. They've done what we want to do. It doesn't matter how it started, this is a rivalry. JMU is also a rivalry, but a different kind. If we start playing them every year, it's a different story.

Ask JMU fans where we stand. We are barely a blip on their radar. Ask Coastal fans where we stand. We are the game circled on their calendar. Rivalry.

I said this is a rivalry...among discussion board fans. Of course Coastal fans are talking about us. Who else have they played this season?

I'm referring to casual fans. Discussion board fans are going to attend a game regardless of the opponent. A majority of our students are casual fans, not die-hard sport fans. A majority of the Lynchburg community are casual fans. Those groups hate Coastal about as much as they hate Presby.

When JMU comes to town, it's a different story. JMU moves the needle. JMU fans require more security, because it's a heated game. We aren't their BIGGEST rivalry obviously. But that game means much more to our general student body and our general fan base than Coastal does.

I'm a die-hard Liberty fan but I don't care about Coastal. The second we leave the Big South, I won't even keep up with them. And most of you won't either. I'll echo that for Presby, CSU, High Point...etc. This "rivalry" was invented by the athletics department because they needed a reason to keep busy. That's it.

"Turner Gill says QB Josh Woodrum is OUT for Saturday's game at Coastal Carolina. Stephon Masha will start."

Sorry guys.

If any of you are making the trip, feel free to stop by our tailgate. PM me here or tweet me @coastalfans and I'll let you know where we're at. Looking forward to this "non-rivalry" game,

[flamesfan30]

on rivalry: i visited some friends at gardner webb back in october. they think of liberty as their biggest rival. they kind of hate us. we dont give two craps about them. that relationship is equal to us and JMU. we hate them. the look down at us, and don't really care beyond that.

in liberty vs coastal, both teams are usually competitive, which means, even though it started as a manufactured and fake rivalry, its become something resembling a real one.

[SuperJon]

Things I guarantee we will see Saturday:

Onside kick.
WR pass from Gabe.

Thing I think we will see but won't guarantee:

Fake field goal.

welp...

[JakeP50]

This game just got A LOT harder. I still have faith but I'm mentally preparing for a complete disaster. That way if we win it will be even more awesome.

[PAmedic]

Yeahhhhhh

Not good

Based on last week, look for Woodrum to start

For those of you that read the Lang/Young Q and A, I would also recommend The Coastal Ale House to eat at.
The Coastal Ale House is about a mile from the CCU campus and it has very good food. Their menu is about six pages long, and their lunch menu is two more pages long.
For all of you traveling down this weekend, I wish you a safe trip and we welcome you.
P.S. Superjon still has a Coastal shirt hid in his closet. LOL

[PAmedic]

yeah there's no chance that shirt still fits

This game will be decided by LU defense, not who's at QB.

[olldflame]

If the defense doesn't improve over last weeks debacle we might lose if we had Andrew Luck at QB. Make no mistake though, the odds of winning just got worse,

[SuperJon]

P.S. Superjon still has a Coastal shirt hid in his closet. I chortle audibly.

Ha. Actually I don't. I gave all my Coastal shirts to the football team to put over the sleds in 07.

After hearing that Woodrum is out for the Coastal game, I had to pull out my favorite Apollo 13 movie quote:

NASA Director: This could be the worst disaster...[LU] ever faced.

Gene Kranz: With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour.

[Rooster Cogburn]

Well played CJ.

[flamesfilmguy]

Someone that knows what they are doing should make a Hitler finds out Josh Woodrum isn't playing video haha.

I would support this.

Glad Masha had a full game to be the starter prior to the most important game in his career. He will have some of the jitters, but lots of those jitters were worked out last weekend. I rewatched the game this morning and thought he settled down and could be really good Saturday.

[LUDad]

Supposing that Masha steps up big time & the guys pull this one off, are we in the conversation for a seed? Our win at App State is looking better by the week, played UNC even for three quarters, just beat the #1 ranked team...I think a solid case could be made for a seed.

We aren't getting a seed. If we win (and it is very unlikely), we would be seeded at the very bottom of the brackets and host a first round game.

At first I was offended (which is very rare) when these first started out. Simply because it was such a great and powerful movie I felt it trivialized it. But considering how few Americans have seen the movie I now find several humorous and would love to see that rant complete with an LU history.
The bigger question becomes:Is LU jinxed/snake bit? I think most would agree that this is the best chance we've had to make the play offs ever. Now our starting QB goes down with a freak injury and we are left back to a hope and a prayer. Are we the Cubs of FCS?

On second thought, shouldn't that mean that we are destined to win?

If LU wins this game, the "Curse of Morgan Hout" will be gone forever, buried at Myrtle Beach, in Davy Jones locker.

I like how the one rushing graph uses increments of 1.

Wow. That is an ancient, evil and valid curse. I say it would also ordain HCTG as Coach For Life!
