Vince is in my Coaching Football class (along with a couple of the Flamefans)

Just pointing something out that we figured out yesterday: Vince is one of four current Liberty players who started in 2005 in UVA's win over FSU.

Cool Stat!

I can't wait to see Vince on the field, I've been waiting on that since he enrolled here!

He is a VERY big boy...I stood next to him at the drink station in the dining hall once, and all I can say is the only other person I knew of in my previous 5 years at LU that made me feel REALLY REALLY short was Katie Feenstra

Listening to the news conference the big news to come out of today was that Eddie Pinigis has a broken toe and likely won't play this week or possibly the next few. So two significant pieces of our offense are out Saturday.

That is not good news. On a happier note, I would love to get a blue or red shirt like the one coach Rocco has on in the pic above. Does it have #71 on it?

Yea, he wears the 71. They're nice warmups.
