at the game on Thursday that guy had it actually on his butt...
he was there with a bunch of other people who were dressed up all in good fun. I see nothing wrong with a plastic butt.
on another note the crowd last night was fiesty but not in a good way. i saw more anger, fighting and bickering then Ive seen here since the 2008 presidential election party in the vines center.

it started with some people telling us in the student section to sit down because a CFAW's younger sibling couldn't see.

and then courtesy the news and advance we all were given material to make paper airplanes and throw them at people.
which we did. its apparently a technical foul for the home team if one gets on the court. One guy from the "boo box" did not appreciate this. instead of asking nicely for everyone to stop however, (this man who ill call boo man 1) was VERY angry and VERY confrontational in how he approached the rest of the student body. some students (including a fan in front of me who I'll call "the d-bag") then threw all their paper planes at him, only making him angrier. at halftime, the d-bag made one on the court in defiance of boo man 1. Boo man 1 then yelled at the d-bag, along with other boo box people, one of whom actually cussed at the d-bag (it was just the word "hell" but that should never be shouted at anyone here), then reported him to event staff. event staff man then came to him and told him not to throw things. after this, the d-bag continually mocked boo man 1, including showering him with torn pieces of paper whenever he walked by him.

also, according to David Mckinney's twitter, no one cleaned up the mess that was left after the game until the campus praise band and the rest of the 27 people involved with Sunday morning campus church got there and cleaned what they could.

boo box: wear RED. the irony of wanting to be set apart is that you are going to be held accountable when you act like angry jerks. this was not entirely your fault, but people don't respond well to being yelled at. the guy sitting in front of me (and even some of the people sitting in the row behind me too) definitely took this WAY too far, but it goes both ways.

every year they do the newspaper thing the same thing happens...and I highly doubt its only the cfawers doing it...you give college kids something they can throw easily they will do it...especially at liberty, haha

Its nice to see the crowd slowly growing every game...I know it was a cfaw weekend, but it was a good crowd and they were into the game

This team hasn't been playing well the past few games, but they continue to win the close games which is a nice change of pace..It would be nice for it all to come together come tournament time

I happen to think Liberty played pretty well last night. I think coach Layer said that too. You guys are focusing on the end result of the play but if you think about the execution of the plays it was pretty good. The defense was tough the whole game against 2 very good offensive weapons in Shine and Barbour. The offense got more good looks last night than most games but the shots weren't falling. It happens. I don't think the HPU game was nearly as ugly as the GW and the Raford game. I can't wait for Tuesday at VMI! That is going to be a lot of fun! Flames Sports Network TV crew will be there.

I was at the doubleheader last year (they did the same thing with the paper things) and I don't remember the kids doing to airplane thing. But I could be wrong.

As for the plastic butt, so what, who cares? I was more offended by the guy dressed as Stewy, but whatever, it's not my life.

I saw the same thing. I was a few rows away from it all. And you were right, now that I think about it. I remember everyone was getting rather (ticked) because they couldn't even sit anywhere near the Boo Box cause of that one dude (I bet he must have been the Boo Box PRES that came on here acting like a clown).

I rethought my opinion, and I gave the Boo Box a chance. I despised the Boo Box and still do. I'm glad they're getting into the game, BUT WEAR RED!!!!!!! That's about all they're good for, just separating themselves from the rest, the whole "look at me" factor.

At Liberty, the point is to get the student body to unify around athletics. Often times, the university is so big that we don't get that chance to meet everybody. Athletics gives us that chance. When we have a group that wants to set themselves as better than everyone else (obviously not everyone in the Boo Box but the leaders), that will cause major problems. It's not like they strike the fear in anyone. Can't you just see Nick Barbour now? "Man, I would have scored 35 points if it weren't for those 30 people in white!" Yeah. Right.

Make noise when the opposition has the ball. Do all things a real basketball fan would. But, don't (tick) everybody else off in the process. Be a fan, but don't be an individual. As Flames Fans, we should all be family.

Hey guys we are wearing Red and we are talking with Kevin Keys about different things to do. Our goal isnt to be set apart and I apologize for the member of our group cursing at someone we did have some cfaws in there with us but thats besides the point. Kevin Keys asked us to go around and tell people to stop throwing the airplanes if people get ticked at that I am sorry but we are working with LU and with athletics to help out the program as much as we can. Im sorry you had such a problem with us wearing white but the thing is that it is a part of our color scheme and it was only for 2 games while we got red shirts to wear and if LU and the athletics department had no problem with it I dont think you should sit here and "despise" us for wearing white. With that said from here on out (this last game and all next year) we will be wearing red. We would love for the people that are here to join us as we have become an official on campus club. If anyone is interested in that just let me know my email is bkhenkel@liberty.edu. Once again I apologize for ticking you guys off with whatever we did but we changed our color to something that some of you guys actually suggested that we could change it to and we go to the games and we cheer on the guys that play because they live on our dorm. We do it for no other reason than to help them.

Yup...they were the part of the track team that stayed in town for a meet on I think Thursday while some went to Seattle and some went to Arkansas

I thought it was already established you were going to wear red? I feel like we're just hearing the same thing over and over.
