It's actually kind of funny to read about Coastal chearing for LU and BEGGING us to win against Stony Brook on Coastal's message board:

My favorite line:

I am sending pat kelly an xmas card......

10521 in attendance!! My hubby did say that the press box side was packed!! I do know that the faculty/staff we're allowed in free along with their spouse and kids. The public could get in free if they brought 5 cans of food with them so all those efforts did help AND most of them stayed until the end of the game.

After witnessing the devestating loss at SB last year and enduring the marathon bus ride back to Lynchburg, the joyous 15 minute drive home after this win was priceless. I think last night would go in my top 10 of the most satisfying wins I've seen in 36 years of going to LU games. I can't explain why, but somehow I'm even happy that the points we scored put Coastal in the Autobid.

I was on the student side last night, and although I was disappointed that more didn't stay for the game, I was happy to see that those who did were there til the end, never sat down, and made a lot of noise.

Pat Kelly was amazing. I Knew he had great hands, but had no idea he had that kind of speed.

Can we just put Mike Brown in the hall of fame now?

After the numbers Mike put up yesterday, I thought this would be the case, so I checked the NCAA site.

Mike Brown finishes the season as the FCS leader in total yardage by a margin of almost 20 yards/game!

I don't want to hear anything about "not really the champs this year since it's co". Bullcrap, it's a 3 way tie and all 3 of those teams beat each other. That's truly a co-championship. We are champions for 2010. Bottom Line. Just because we use a stupid tie breaker we didn't win doesn't mean we're not champs.

Amazingly impressive. Mike was absolutely stellar yesterday.

personally we have the most overall wins, we are the champs...I understand those aren't common opponents, but if you have a 3 way tie to me the next thing to look at is overall wins...which would be us...

Or rankings, which would be us.

Or overall points allowed, or points scored.

Or anything but points allowed in conference, haha.

I had to follow along yesterday via ESPN stats on my blackberry and then reading this thread last night. My thoughts:

1. Mike Brown = amazing.
2. Pat Kelly and Chris Summers together on the field next year will be scary. Pat had a breakout game.

3. D played much better especially against the run and I give them a lot of credit. If we get to play another game this year I will be interested to see if we can string a few good games together.

4. Several of you suggested in this thread that somehow this game answers all the questions voiced after last week. For me, no. My comments about changes on the D side of the ball were voiced after many games of failure and they came out big today but they still gave up 28pts so lets not get carried away. If the O didn't just hit it out of the park today it would have still been a close game. Further, we would have the autobid if our defense (pts against in conference) would have played this way all year. We are sitting here on pins and needles because there were two teams in our conference (the same one we belittle regularly) that played better D this year. Good game today though and big stops when we needed them.

5. We deserve a playoff bid based on who else is out there.

That is all
