Actually, they'll start Monday. Won't get around to one today.
On Saturday, the Flames Sports Network will be running a 30-minute radio show recapping the day’s activities. New “Voice of the Flames” Alan York and LibertyFlames.com audio correspondent Nick Pierce will co-host the show, which will feature audio interviews with Brown, Flames head coach Danny Rocco and Director of Athletics Jeff Barber.
The show is scheduled to air on Victory FM (88.3 FM), the flagship station for the Flames Sports Network, at 1 p.m. Flames’ fans can catch the show by tuning their radio dials to 88.3 FM or by listening to the audio stream by clicking the link above.
Two of the Big South dispatches are posted on the blog, one about Stony Brook and another about Coastal Carolina. Look for a Charleston Southern post tomorrow. Kind of going down the list of schools in order that they were predicted to finish.

So we'll see one about G-W around the end of the month?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Four years later, it still stands as, not only the peak of success for Coastal Carolina's program, but for Big South football in general.
The Chanticleers finished the 2006 regular season 9-2, including a win over highly ranked Furman, to earn an at-large berth into the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs - the first and, to this point, the only Big South team to make the postseason tournament since the league started playing football in 2002.
"One team in that many years," Gardner-Webb coach Steve Patton said, thinking back over the conference's other what-could-have-beens.

Sure enough, the Flames respond with a resounding 26-3 victory to finish the regular season 10-2, and they later gather as a team to watch the FCS tournament selection show. But Liberty's name is never called.
"That was very hard for my kids," Rocco said.
"I guess they didn't view us as a very strong conference overall, not much respect," said Liberty quarterback Mike Brown, a redshirt-freshman on that 2008 team and the Big South's reigning offensive player of the year heading into this season. "It was tough. ... When we weren't announced, we had a lot of disappointed guys, especially the seniors. A lot of tears shed."
