I know many of us would say, "Wow! We should've been 8-4 this year" and I would agree with you. However, a high majority on this board and a really high majority of major college football prediction magazines and articles said Liberty would win an average of 3 to 4 games. Almost all of the magazines and articles mentioned our streak of 12 straight seasons without a losing record and that this season would absolutely break that streak. By winning this weekend we prove all of them and most of us wrong.

Perspective, I think only 8 other teams finished with a better or similar record in their first year of FBS. Perspective, we proved MANY people wrong this year. Perspective, we are FBS ready and we are talking about how we should've been 8-4!

This season has not only been a success but has exceeded expectations even with all the disappointments that we have brought up over and over again.

I hope we open up play book, and run some new plays, and not be so conservative.

Does anyone recall if we have faked any punts or field goals this season, along with WR and RB passes ? Also any reverses or jet sweeps ?

I hope we don't get unsporting. I want to make sure any near season records get hit then let the redshirt, freshmen and seniors, and Mason run around for most of the game.

Clemson just completed a 12-0 regular season by beating their in state rival by 21 points, 56-35. Many were upset with Clemson's play. Coach Swinney said his goal is to win by 1 more point. "When that isn't enough, it's time for me to move on to something else". He called those complaining, "shameful".

Hoping others will join me in skipping the Marshall-Tech game and show their true loyalty by supporting LU football (and Turner Gill) at Williams Stadium on Saturday vs. Norfolk State.

Students are back, correct? I am curious to see how the students come out...to be honest I like them to focus their energy on the LU/Georgia State basketball game but that may be because I am so burnt out with the football program at this point.

Ballcoach, even if that was a one-time experience, I'm very thankful for experiencing club seating for the first time last Saturday.

Sure...why not. Let's FINALLY open up the playbook on the last game of the season.

Let's not take this team for granted and end up losing the finale! Keep the same playbook and just execute better than they do and make better coaching decisions to get to a victory. I'm looking forward to next season!

In the interest of supporting LU football they should stream the game on the big screens in the auditorium during the Christmas show.
