After nearly five months without football, Coach Rocco and the Flames return to the practice field today at 4:15pm over at the Bill. They also will practice Saturday morning at 10:50.

Full Spring Schedule

Come on, guys. Let's be sure to let us know how some of our redshirts and transfers look.

[Stevev]

It looks like one redshirt freshman will be out for the year, Antonia Tassara. Not sure if he is just missing spring drills or the whole 2007 season. Not sure if this changes anything for the O-Line

[jcmanson]

Does anyone k now why he will be missing? Injury, grades?

Here is Chris' preview from the morning fishwrap:

Five questions facing Liberty in spring football practice

By Chris Lang
Lynchburg News & Advance
March 23, 2007

Danny Rocco's first spring as Liberty's football coach was a month-long cram session.

He had to teach a new playbook, familiarize himself with athletes he had never seen play live and install a new defensive scheme.

It wasn't an easy task.

Chris' story explains the three medical situations. Torn pec for Antonio.

[jcmanson]

Thanks. I was just reading it, and came over here to post that but you already did. Very good article.

[SuperJon]

Not sure if this changes anything for the O-Line

With Sene, Godsil, Pinigis, and some of the transfers, I wouldn't think it changes too much. It's just spring ball. I know it's great experience, but health for August is more important.

[Stevev]

Thank you! I don't know too much about this guy but he is huge (6' 8" 310 lbs) and from what I read he looks like a descent prospect. Too bad for the injury and I hope that he recovers in time for the 07 season.

i don't think that terry adams will be playing this spring neither. his ankle isn't 100%

[BJWilliams]

Are the practices open to the public this year like last year?

[Schfourteenteen]

Its actually more than a torn pec he pretty much tore that as well as the muscle next to it connecting to his arm as well as part? of his bicep Anyway it looked really nasty but he had surgery and definitely wont be back this year.

[flameshaw]

OK it has been 8 minutes, where are the pictures?

[givemethemic]

Practice is open to the public, I would be there but I am going to hopefully get a new car tonight!!!! And it will not be a FORD!!!!!

[flameshaw]

BMW?
Mini-van?

practice was pretty good today. i liked what i saw out of new guys like kent and vince, and the O-Line is HUGE .

our running game with zach and rashad is right where it left off.

After practice was over, i heard coach rocco say to the team that at this point last year they are lightyears better now than they were then.

assuming you meant this point THIS year, that bodes well for us this fall- and should scare the *poop* outta the rest of the BSOUTH.

even the mighty beach chickens

I went to practice and toured the FOC with a FF student (friendly friday). What I was most interested in was watching JB sit several rows in front of me talking on his cell phone the whole time. I just knew he was probably talking to prospective MBB coaches, talking salary and benefits and pools and church attendance, but I couldn't hear a word he was saying (but at least I saw McKay sitting with JB in Convo earlier, though Ritchie didn't come to our football practice).

[TDDance234]

I'm probably going to hit one up soon. I'll take my camera along with me.

[LU'sbestmanager]

about chris' article: i thought that danny broggin looked alright. he did a pretty good job while he was on the second team. i kept thinking to myself, who is # 12 he's going to be pretty good in the future.

Kent's little celebration was pretty funny. i like his swagger and it's gonna be pretty fun to watch him play D in Wynton all spring.

and the O-Line is HUGE.

Not only are they huge, think about the experience factor.
LT Sene 6'6" 320 6yr SR 2 Varsity starts at SC, 20 Varsity starts @ LU
LG Stone 6'2" 275 RJR 21 Varsity Starts @ LU
C Godsil 6'2" 293 JR 22 Varsity Starts @ LU
RG Ausberry 6"5 330 6 yr Sr 11 starts @ UVA
RT Pinigis 6'8 295 RSR 11 starts @ UVA, 11 starts @ LU


Ave OL 6"4 1/2" 303 lb
98 varsity starts

[Sly Fox]

I'm guessing you must be a math teach when you don't have a whistle around your neck, madmat.

Can anybody remember a time when the O-line has been this much of a strength? You we are big, strong & battle-tested.
