I was at the game. Were you at the tailgate? I dont know as many people personally from the board as twitter. Met a ton more though. What an awesome experience.

I love Dae Dae, but don’t disrespect Rashad like that
For all of Karcher’s shortcomings I’d stack Dre Barnes and Sam Gado up with anyone

Sam Gado was one of my Honors students (and now a local MD), but wasn't he a third or fourth-string RB in Karcher's depth chart? :shock: :dontgetit

Dre was 1st string until he got hurt. There was another running back who split time with Sam after him. Can’t remember his name. Before his injury Dre was simply electric and comparing him to a poor man’s Barry Sanders were totally warranted.

I believe that was Eugene Goodman.

You are correct sir! Thank you. He wasn’t bad either! With those 3 LU should have just gone straight wishbone!

Liberty always has had good luck at the RB position. Let's not forget Lawrence Worthington and Stacey Nobles in the 90's. Worthington could leap a pile on short yardage with the best of them (which seems to be a long lost art in football). Dae Dae has been our best complete back since Hickson, he just seems to have more power than Frankie.

I certainly did and watched quite a bit of it - wasn’t even that close...

Didn’t feel like figuring out where else to put this. We got our First SEC win this early in our FBS and/or Football history. Meanwhile, Oregon State who has fielded a football team since 1893 and been Pac12, since 1964, just won their first game over an SEC opponent. Pretty crazy considering how long they’ve been FBS and how young we are. Ok carry on haha

The beauty of Indie, you can schedule all P5 Conferences annually if you want. We may not play an SEC team for another 100 years much less win. But who cares - CUSA !!!

Beavers have played 13 games against SEC which wasn’t formed until 1932 and first games in 1933. They were 0- 11-1 before tonight. They play an average of once every 9 years, probably more than LU will over next 90 years - even with the geographic disparity.

He never grasps the fact that SEC schools will have to also want to schedule LU. It takes two to tango.
His takes are as fresh as a can of my grandfather’s SPAM :D

End of an era, glad I got to see it. WF, BYU, Arkansas, VT - expectations were 8-4 as a solid year - just not the way it played out which was 8-1 and a barf bag, ugh. Now on to CUSA where 1-2 losses to the likes of WKU, Jacksonville St, UTEP will sting much worse than VT WF but with no high notes on the victories. Pressure to “win them all” as a hopeful goal or win enough to play for CUSA Championship. CUSA will be tough, no more recruiting advantages for future NFL caliber players, it will be mid G5 level with the occasional P5 transfer down a d we are competing with TX,Fl,AL locals with no “schedule P5/G5 hybrid schedule advantage After 3 years, once Covid backlog shakes out, it will be good HS player development that gets plucked by P5 after a good freshman, sophomore, junior year. I still hate G5 even with an autobid - get us out ASAP...

That being said, do we need to bemoan this repeatedly?
