First off, they already showed how dumb you were with the five non-D1 teams thing.

Second, you mention the OT wins that could have easily gone the other way yet conveniently forget to point out we have lost four games by a combined 11 points, three of which we had a last second shot to win or send it to overtime. They could've easily gone the other way as well. While someone with an obvious bias against all things Liberty points that we are close to being 8-7, an optimistic person could also say we're close to being 14-1 as well.

The attack dogs growl!

I was just repeating what the n/a wrote and sorry i didn't say they were a transitional one. We certainly could be 14-1 if things had gone that way. However we are 1-2 in league and all I was saying is that Monday's game will show us all where we are early in league play. 2-2 with a road win gives a real shot at a top four seed, 1-3 and we are in a hole.

Happy New Years.

No, you came on here for the first time since Asheville to post crap after losing a tough game. Then you added the compliment at the end. Just like every other name you've ever posted as.

My bad. You're right. You haven't posted as other names. There are those like you who only show up after losses and they've had multiple names before.

Are the graphics from the creators of Techno Bowl???
it's the same interface LU uses and it's the default interface provided by Statcrew. All the other websites out there with fancy looking livestats interfaces are because their website was designed by someone like ICS, PrestoSports, CBS College Sports, and other companies who provide a livestats interface as part of their website package. Unless LU and Winthrop were to make their own livestats interface in-house (which would be fairly complex to work out on multiple levels without the working knowledge of how livestats works). Also saves money as this version requires only html output, all the other ones require XML output, which means the Sports Info departments will have to buy a new version of the Statcrew program every single year.

Yeah, I knew we used the same interface i've just never seen this Techno Bowl guy:

that's the default image when you don't use a school's logo. of course it is extremely easy to remove that image and put a school's logo in place of it...

Hey I hope they get it done. obviously they have put together some quality performances and appear to be a top two team in the conference. They struggled and lost against a 1-10 Winthrop team but Radford dominated a 5-9 Presby team so we should bounce back with a road win. If so then like I said we are in position to get to the top of the conference.

I will respond to the facts not a pep rally.

You didn't repeat what the N&A wrote. I wrote 4 non-DIs and a transitional. Big difference between that and five non-DIs. DI schools are only allowed to play four. I make enough stupid mistakes. I don't need you to make one for me.

if you want to generalize my comments as a negative case then that is your perogative. I stated that we had some quality perfomances as well. However we just lost to a Winthrop team that was 0-2 in league, 1-10 overall with no D1 wins and FLorida had down 53-11 at half. Let's see what happens in Clinton, SC. Hope we win.

I do think this loss is a bit worse than we might think. I still don't think WU is very good. I guess it just shows you what road games like like in the BSC. VMI is now looking like it's theirs to lose.

They get the negative view because you're only here after the losses that could be seen as bad losses. You're never here after a win.

inthebeginning's last post before this thread was November 21, immediatly following the UNCA debacle in the "How do we get better?" thread. Apparently he felt nothing worthy of comment occured in the last 6 weeks.

What does the chronological time frame of my post have to do with the fact that we got beat by a bad Winthrop team. This is not the Winthrop of Greg Marshall era. Our focus is on what are we doing in conference play which will determine our NCAA tournament status. Nice pre conference games but even Mel Hankinson had some nice preconference records. I hope we respond and kick Presby like Radford did. Radford already has a home win against Winthrop.

No it is not apples and apples, however VMI and Radford soundly beat Winthrop. So they certainly like the fact that Winthrop got us. And Radford won on the road at Presby, VMI w/o Travis Holmes wins on the road at G/W so it is critical for us to win Monday. Which we should and I am confident will.

From the Charlotte fishwrap article (nice Robert Frost reference at the end):
Sonya Curry, the boys' mother, changed from a Davidson to a Liberty jersey between games...

For the Curry family, it was a day that ended with one win and one loss. But they have miles to go before they sleep during this basketball season.

It's a tough loss, but road wins are always difficult, and we have a young team. I would think we will beat them at the vines, and I would expect the young guys to improve over the year. I just think it's a little harder to win than people realize. As they say, "The other teams have scholarship players too."

Anyone posting using an alias is a jerk and gutless.

It's a little early for that. We play eighteen conference games this year. We haven't even played VMI yet. And they'll lose their share of conference road games as well.

I don't know how many we can expect them to lose. They are 2-0 already with 7 left. Those 7 are Winthrop, Radford, LU, Presby, High Point, Coastal, and CSU. I can't see them losing to PC, HPU, or CCU. They are at CSU tonight. If they win those 4 they are 6-0 on the road with 3 more road games - LU, WU, RU.

I don't see them losing more than 3 on the road.

They're off to a hot start. We'll see if they can maintain that throughout Jan-Feb. My guess is that there may be a valley or two to come.
