you may add "FlamesNation Independant Consultant/Marketing and Brand Strategist/in-house Graphic Artist" to my sig

I would've summed it up as "RESIDENT GENIUS" but didn't want to come off too strong

aka: Rico Suave

Go to the home page, hover over "other sports" in the menu bar at the top, click on "FlamesNation podcast." Voila.

It's been there for 3 weeks.

Was there an understanding that you would not ask Rocco about his departure ? I feel like it was the elephant on the podcast the entire show. Seemed odd not to ask, but I realize that it was probably an understanding between the two parties that the topic would not be brought up.

This was just outstanding content and brilliant. We are spoiled as FCS fans to have such good coverage. I am the first to be critical of what I feel was terrible reporting or coverage, and so let me be the first to say, Thanks again FlamesNation for the outstanding get.

John O'Connor and I each got two questions in for Danny on the CAA tele Monday and he went on for 12 minutes. That's just his style. His press conferences at LU usually stretched longer than 30 minutes, where Turner rarely approaches 20 minutes. Not complaining. Danny fills up a notebook, for sure.

Yeah, what Duke said. We were definitely going to ask him about his departure, but a couple things happened 1) he was very long winded which played into 2) he had other press obligations and didn't have any more time for us. Plus, I could tell we weren't going to get any more out of him than what we've heard before.

Pay special attention to his answer about CAA/Big South level of play. He really rambled on there, but you can pick out a lot from his statements.

I'm also stoked for the next couple of guests we have lined up for you as well.

I just listened to Danny in the Richmond Presser, the same points were driven home. CAA is just a much better conference with a much better reputation and pedigree. He really made the point of sayin that he had Zero succes against the CAA when he was at LU.

For a guy that is trying to build his resume for a bigger gig, and a guy that hates the underdog role as much as Danny does, I can see it. I still get the feeling that it was more than mutual him leaving.

This game will put lots of icing on a big cake for me and Im sure lots of fans. Like Ive said before this is the biggest mentality hurdle game Liberty has ever played.

I blame the fireworks at JMU for hurting Danny's feelings about the CAA vs Big South.

I should also note, kudos to Rocco for doing this interview. Most coaches given the same circumstances would avoid it. He gained a lot of respect from me for doing it.

Compare the programs in power FCS conferences (MVFC, Big Sky, and CAA) and then compare them with Big South programs. The gap in level of play is huge outside of Liberty and Coastal and even those two don't usually play quality teams consistently or at a consistent level.

Can't wait to let you guys know who we have as a guest this week, once it's finalized I'll let you know. And if you don't like the guest, it's Duke's fault since it was his idea. :lol:
