Come on Chris, give Brock a good write -up, I need all the positive news I can get.. I really think he is coming into a real good college player, his conficence, his presence, most of all his ability to get the defense off-sides, he does that a lot.. The guys played great today, I was so happy, this team should onlly have 1 loss. Chris can they make any playoff games after the season? thanks for being so fair and fun... Auntie ann

Special Teams: (C) why did TODAY have to be the return of the streaky placekicking game ? missed PAT and blocked FG could've REALLY hurt us. Returns were nothing spectacular today, either.

It was a 49-yarder. It had to come out low to get the distance, and they just got a hand on it.

Defense: (B) good, but what was with those penalties? a bit sloppy

It's something about Coastal. There was a lot of pushing and shoving both ways. Our guys made some stupid penalties, I won't lie about that, but there's just something about it when these two teams play. Look at last year and this year. Our penalties (especially unsportsmanlike) go up exponentially in the Coastal game. We haven't had these types of penalties all year until tonight. Say what you want about Coastal fans not caring about Liberty, but the two teams hate each other.

QUESTION: Why did Will have the intentional grounding called on him early on? He was outside the pocket, threw it past the LOS, and it was at a receivers feet. I didn't get it.

Happened right in front of me. It was questionable at best. However, it was not something, that early, for CDB to blow a gasket on. He went frickin crazy.

great crowd for sure...made the game a lot of fun....and like others have said, it was the most together I have ever seen the student section at a football game....and they were actually quiet when needed and loud when needed....great stuff!

Most of the time. We had to yell at some groups a few times to shutup, but they got the point.

ps....thank you to Anthony Steele for being an idiot and making it fun til the end....and classless as well....did anybody else notice how he flipped off the student section going into the locker room at halftime??? classless...and absolutely hilarious

I have him on camera flipping us off at least twice.



Student section: Someone joked to me that the student section finally got things unified, and now I can graduate in peace, and I agree with them. I honestly didn't do some of the cheers, just so I could sit back and hear the rest of the students do it. The way the "First down! Oooh move those chains, move those chains, move those chains, huh" was unified was simply amazing (got it on tape). We started "You can't do that" chant last year for penalties and had been doing it some this year. I had to step back one time because I heard that chant coming from the opposite end of the stands before we could even start it up. Amazing Grace at the end was awesome too.

We did something on offense that I've wanted to see for a while but hadn't, and it made me happy: we let Brock run the ball some. The kid isn't lightning quick, but he can move, and he'll knock over some people if they're not ready for it.

I got to see a friend of mine before the game that I hadn't seen since the Big South Tournament in 06. She's the cheerleading coach and does the type of stuff Kevin Keys does. She was amazed that we could do thunder sticks because they always told her she couldn't do them because it was against Big South rules. I also found out that our reputation has gotten pretty good in terms of being a tough place to play because of our students.

Libertine texted me during the game and said he couldn't hear the band because the students were so loud.

Oh yea, we started singing the National Anthem with the band. It sounds dumb, but it was hilarious.


Something I posted on Coastal's board before I even came on here that needs to go on here:

You should be proud of Jerome Simpson.

Any of you guys that know me know that I will rag on a player in fun, tell them great game afterwards and hope they know it's all in fun. Others around me, not so much. Through the first quarter and a half, we gave Jerome hell pretty much (we were right behind the offensive bench). In the past, Jerome would've mouthed off, shot us a bird or something like that. Today, he didn't even acknowledge us and just went about his business. He was very professional and very, very mature. He didn't talk trash on the sidelines or anything after that.

Halfway through the 2nd quarter I started yelling some stuff at him saying he probably wishes he was back at Reidsville (they finished undefeated this year) and just naming stuff of from his high school and he cracked a smile or two from it. In the fourth quarter, after his touchdown catch (which was amazing) I yelled at him that it was a great play and he gave me the "Thanks" head nod. I told him he'd be playing on Sundays next year and to represent North Carolina well and he just sat there nodding his head and I could tell he appreciated it. After the game I was on the field and told him great game again.

I fully expected him to get angry, blow off some steam, and things like that. He was by-far one of the most mature people on your team tonight and proved why he's a captain. You guys should be proud he was representing you.

Their offensive coordinator cusses like a sailor.

Fortson needs to start for them. Will Richardson is terrible, and Fortson is suited better for their spread offense. With a running threat at QB, plus Tolbert's bowling ball running, and O'Neal's flat out lightning quick speed, they could cause some problems.

Jerome Simpson is just good. We held him in check yardage wise tonight, but part of that is their ineptness at quarterback. He proved why he's going to be playing on Sunday's. The second catch just had students turning to each other with their jaws dropped, etc.

They could very well beat G-W next week and quite frankly, I hope they do. Coastal showed flashes of talent tonight, and if they can get some guys in their on their OL and DL, and get a QB (which they may have in redshirt freshman Jamie Childers) then they'll be a good team. They're not going to be down long.

I hope this turns into a rivalry. I really do. It's obvious that the two teams on the field don't like each other, and our students don't like Coastal, we just have to get the Coastal fans to actually care about Little Ole Liberty, and then we could have us something fun on our hands.

[Chris Lang]

Auntie: I was actually absolving Brock of the blame on that one. It would have been incomplete had it not been tipped, but not intercepted.

Liberty was eliminated from playoff consideration after the Elon loss, which guaranteed the Flames couldn't get to seven DI wins.

That apparently isn't true?

We still won't make it, but that is not an official rule, apparently.

sj if this turns into a rivalry game can we make a bronze 1/2 scale trophy of you that stays with the winner since you have cheered for both sides in ur life?
we could call it the superjon game or battle for the ole' superjon

[SuperJon]

I do have one complaint, and this is a good thing and a bad thing.

I got to the school at 8:45 this morning. I went and hung a Beat Coastal sign over the Liberty University sign as you come onto campus, and after that, I hung two banners on the railing in the stadium in front of our seats (Beat Coastal and Mmmm Chicken). Hanging this stuff took about an hour or so doing it by myself. You would think people would see the banners and think, "Hey, someone's sitting here." I got into the stadium at 1:45, an hour and 45 minutes before the game started, and these kids had taken our seats. It was the spot we had been in for two years, and these kids had probably been to one game all year. Not to mention that, but Dallas (dwhite) and his guys got pushed back to behind the Coastal bench.

We want to tailgate. That's part of football. We are the dedicated students who will get there at 8am for a 1pm game. We shouldn't have to leave our tailgating areas two hours early just to get our seats. I don't know what can be done to change this, but something does. We deserve those spots more than anybody. Basically, we're having to pick between tailgating (which the athletic department wants us to do) and getting good seats where we can lead the students in cheers (which the athletic department wants us to do). Something just has to be changed.

I'm serious when I say I would pay for tickets to stand where I do.

[ToTheLeft]

I agree 100%.

But i think the fact that Beat Coastal fever is over means that we won't have to worry about anyone taking our spot...

and apparently we can go in through the back gate on the south side, up near concessions?

That would get us in quicker.

[TIMSCAR20]

How about Battle of the Bulge? Great job Liberty Student section. I was so impressed watching it on TV. Everything seemed to be so coordinated and loud. I was proud. Simpson is fun to watch and I hope he becomes a Phila Eagle. He is better than all of our receivers Anyway it is fun to say:

WE BEAT COASTAL...As for MASN, it was a good production but they need a little work in the booth. They should have let Ray Jones and Mike Tilley do it. At least they wouldn't have butchered the names so much. That is one thing that I learned early on about announcing. Get the names right and if you are not sure about something, don't talk about it. Sometimes you get mis information which you can't help though.

[SuperJon]

But i think the fact that Beat Coastal fever is over means that we won't have to worry about anyone taking our spot...

Name one game we haven't had problems this year, even getting in there 90+ minutes before the game. It'll always be a problem.

[ToTheLeft]

Oh, I know it's a struggle. But I don't think people will be there before 11 for VMI.

[SuperJon]

That's not the point. I don't want to have to get into the stadium that early, ever. I don't mind getting in the stadium 30-45 minutes early, that's fine. I just really hate getting in there an hour and a half plus early.

[TIMSCAR20]

Man I really hope this fan participation overflows into the Vines Center!!! It will be a tough place for folks to come in and win if that is the case. Anyone that has played college sports will tell you that having fans like we had today is a huge advantage. Let's hope the RMK era gets the Vines Center atmosphere like we have in Williams.

[bozlady]

In honor of tonight's victory my hubby and I ate Fried Chicken!!!! m-m-m-m- finger-licken good!!

I suppose that's true.

I kinda like it, but the lack of a full tailgate does sorta suck.

But then again, setting up any kind of reserved seating on the student side is going to lead to trouble and less fan attendance in terms of students.

It's a tough situation. I personally don't mind getting there mad early and watching warm-ups and such.

[SuperJon]

In honor of tonight's victory and my five seconds of fame on the jumbo tron my hubby and I ate Fried Chicken!!!! m-m-m-m- finger-licken good!!

I fixed that one for you.



Hey, did my MASN sign get on tv?

[TIMSCAR20]

not sure SJ but I did see Bozlady for at least 15 seconds at the end.

[El Scorcho]

I do have one complaint, and this is a good thing and a bad thing.

I also have a complaint, which (I think) is unusual for me.

This marks the second game in a row that LU has done something I consider extremely inappropriate, which is to do anything other than wait in silence when a player is injured. Last week we played dance music when PC's quarterback was laying on the field with a pretty serious injury. This week one of our own was laying on the field and we took the opportunity to honor the cross country team.

Unacceptable. When a player is down we shouldn't do anything, but especially not things that make a lot of noise and are otherwise disrespectful. There was no way I was going to applaud and cheer for the cross country team when one of our players is laying injured on the field.

So, yeah. I don't complain about a lot, but this has really bothered me.

Totally agreed.

[SuperJon]

We had some kids mention that as well.


While we main complain about something, I want to point out how awesome this week was. Kids were so hyped up. The thunder sticks were great. The game presentation was great. Kevin Keys and his staff did awesome.

[thepostman]

I know where you are coming from SJ....but i think this is a good problem to have...

[whmatthews]

Jon if your sign was coastal fried chicken, yeah it got on there, that's when I texted you... i didn't see you holding up the sign, but it did show a lot of the student section on MASN and I saw you. MASN did a great job I thought, it was odd for me seeing a Liberty come on in eastern NC (ACC country), I forgot it was on MASN and we had it on at work watching Pittsburgh and Syracuse and it came on saying "LIVE from Lynchburg, Virginia" so it got my attention. The only thing they could have worked on, like Scar said, was the names... it's Rashad Jennings, not Rasheed Jennings.

[SuperJon]

It's a great problem to have. It shows the interest is high.

That was not our sign, but he was just to the (stage right, house left) of where we were.

My uncle TiVo'ed the game. I am going to go watch it this next weekend (Friday Night) and then he is gonna come watch us pound VMI.

I'll see what I can see
