I think this is the first year when there can be no "wait till you see the team next year" talk. How can anybody say that with a straight face when the soon-to-be all time BSC leading scorer is a senior. You can't replace that in stride. This year is gonna be our best hope for a little while.

No b/c it will be a "rebuilding" year........again. On the bright side this rebuilding project is going faster than the one on our house

you would know about "packing" wouldn't you brokeback?? and it did not work without sampson at UVA. The hoos have not sniffed that kind of success since sampson's departure.

Smoothie... Final Four the year after he graduated... Elite Eight in the late 80's too.

It is sad to be in a tournament and not win a game, but the only game that was horrible was ORU. BYU
was a decent game, and the Seton Hall game was a great game. 50 points in the 2nd half is pretty impressive, and all the people that watched those games (friend, foe, neutral) spoke very well of Liberty's effort and over-all performance!

I'm not old enough to remember a game with Sampson, but as a kid my first memory is the 84 Final Four run... even though I had to go to bed before the games ended b/c they were out west in the regional.

I still haven't forgiven Glen Rice for what he did in 89 in that Elite Eight.

I finally came back to this thread tonight and I have one thing to say....Chris Lang is the man and he has great writing skills. He has done more in 2 years for Liberty athletics than all the media coverage, TV, Print etc in the past 20 years I have been around, combined!

Also Chris is Clearly more loved than me as it seems everyone came to his rescue when he was called out....Where was MY backup when Critic called me a loser :P You guys deserted me....I see how it is. No more flamefans.com shout outs for you guys :wink:

Really though, I hope Lang is around for many years to come.

No more shoutouts = no more turning Scar into a fan favorite with the "Hey Scar..." sign of the game.

I keep forgetting to talk about the Aluma Shorts Jon. Next time I am on air for the VMI game I will mention them and the fact that we went down to see the Runnin Roos/Keydets together...Second thought, maybe I don't want the viewing public to know that I actually know you :lol: :P

They think you are a crazy stalker :lol: I know the TV crew has it figured out I'm sure. 20 people in the audience and the only sign is about me? Not very likely if I didn't know you.

I'll say this, along with being an all-around good guy who can put down a little spinach artichoke dip at Vinny's, Scar has been one heck of a resource for me when trying to find out about some of the old days of LU basketball that I wasn't been around. So there's a shout. :D

Actually if you look at the thread (and who would want to?) you'll notice the Texans had your back.

While I'm sure he appreciates the sentiment, I'm guessing Chris might prefer a better paying gig than the Lynchburg fishwrap. But I agree that it has been a blessing to finally have somebody on the beat who does an above average job.
