Going home to Winston Salem for fall break and will be making the trip up to Boiling Springs with my family (my mom graduated from gw). Expect to win this game but we like us to win big to start off BSC play on a high note

What really surprised me about Gardner-Webb was that they allowed 464 yards to Samford. If the Bulldogs were going to be strong on one side or the other this year, I figured it would be on defense with what they brought back on the defensive line and at linebacker.

To the GW posters: Any major injuries down there? Did Dickerson bench Browning yesterday or did he get hurt?

Was Ron Hobby's suspension a 1-game or multiple-game suspension?

And here we go with the most important part of the schedule. Hopefully everyone is fully rested and recovered. It's Big South or Bust time.

One thing we need to do that we have struggled with on the road is start fast...we need to get a TD on the first possession and take the crowd out of it

We've got to run the ball and control the clock and keep your offense off the field to stand any shot of making this a competitive game. Our defense and special teams are poor to say the least at this point. Should be a large crowd with it being family weekend on campus, and the weather looks to be perfect. You folks traveling down from VA be safe, maybe somehow we can make your return trip home long and less than enjoyable.

It's pretty straight-forward, unless they have changed things. There's parking within a 5 minute walk of the stadium. Just pull into the drive and park at your nearest convenience.

The town has 8 stop lights, but they are literally all at the same intersection. And they have "No Smoking" signs all over campus.

I guess we're all taking the "I'm not going to say anything until this team wins a game of note and doesn't have a stupid hose game" approach this week.

LIBERTY FLAMES - 48
webbs- 14

Hoping for a blowout here to start off BS play.

Going to be an ugly (well uglier) rest of the season if we don't make a statement on the road Saturday.

Despite the growth, the town still has one traffic light, and no booze.

If you aren't tailgating, parking on the north side of campus around the Craig Hall, Lutz-Yelton/Mauney Hall area and walking around Lake Hollifield (and the construction of the new student center) to the stadium would be a good option.

the audio is rough on the weekly press conference. also his watch beeps.

Fans who purchased tickets to this game will get an email today with information on ticket pick up times, locations (one in Lynchburg and on game day in Boiling Springs) as well as additional information the Flames Club tent, stuff like that. I'll post it on here as well.

really poor quality. sounded like he was in a cave

you can hear the camera man working to get it fixed. to his credit it gets corrected halfway through.

The audio's only bad for like 4 minutes. And it's not really what I would call bad, it just has an echo. Stop being like cats. Be a dawg.

WOOF!

Patterson Sr. LB is the Big South Defensive POW + POY.

It will be a black out for their fans. So our "red no matter what" will pay off this weekend.
