"Pre-season I disagreed with the automatic W almost unanimously predicted versus Liberty. And after watching the Duke game I think that Saturday could be ugly if Army does not play at a very high level.

Stephen Buckshot Calvert makes Duke's Daniel Jones look pedestrian. And I have watched Buckshot (actually his middle name) and Liberty for going on 2 years now.

They are not a one dimensional passing team by any stretch. They have a very good big O-line and effective running game. They get better each game. ODU was actually favored last week. Liberty has that family vibe growing stronger each day. That feeling that thing that you cannot describe but you know it when a team has it.

They are not awe struck newcomers to the FBS ranks. And Buck (as his teammates call him) is the real deal with a real team and real coach.

Army must win TOP battle by a lot (2:1 not being unreasonable), keep the Flames O off the field, get an early lead and play ALL 4 quarters full gas.

And Liberty does a really good job with game planning and an even better job making effective adjustments. Both sides of the ball. I hope Calvert and the Flames have a miserable game experience and Army wins. It will not be an easy day.

Play anything like we did against Duke and the final score will be worse."

I dont want to give myself away as a degenerate , but I do want to mention something I find interesting. How the line moves on Liberty games. When the line moves in Liberty's favor as it has this week, ( from 10.5 point underdog to 9 points currently) that means money has come in on LU. Not so much in the NFL or even P5 (except Notre Dame and other degenerate fan bases) but the fan base and boosters can move the line in G5 and lower football.

The thing I find interesting in LUs case, the line has moved 1.5 points even 2 in some cases. How many LU fans are putting big money on the flames this weekend ? Kind of funny.

Someone more familiar with vegas that wants to explain how I am wrong, please do.

Living in Mountain Time now has me all screwed up with game times. I kept thinking Noon for the game this Saturday and then I realized it is a 10am start time here. My wife now knows that from 10am till 1pm no boxes will be opened by this guy, ha.
