Now that Opening Night is next month, I will participate in the anticipation.
I am most excited about something new and fresh. I loved Rocco, but I think he plateaued before his departure. There was a sense of, "we love this guy, but can he get us THERE". Then came HCTG, who is arguably one of the most incredible men in college football. However, he piqued early and retired with a VERY stagnant and underwhelming program on the field. Insert Freeze, who is possibly the highest profile football coach Liberty will ever have on the Mountain. As my good friend once said, "the ceiling is the roof" for Liberty football under Freeze.
Liberty is in a truly unique position, which makes me squirm it may be too good to be true. The new, fresh, exciting and revitalized state of the football program has me pumped up for Aug 31st and the 2019 season. I cannot wait to see Williams Stadium over capacity and feel the energy of our passionate school/fanbase. It will be a historic night, and one we will never forget. This brings hope. The hope that Liberty football will be chomping on the heels of Liberty basketball. The cynic in me is skeptical how long it (Freeze) will last (before getting his SEC gig). But I have never been more excited for a new season and new era to begin. There is a tide turning within the Liberty University athletic program - dare I say a tide rising?
Many of us have dreamed about the day that Liberty football would be relevant and debates would ensue on how we would define "relevant". Liberty football has never been more relevant than it is right now. There will be a different energy in behind the gates on August 31st, and the Freeze era will undoubtedly produce something Liberty has never seen before. I cannot wait to see it happen from section 105, GO FLAMES!
