I think Liberty is going to walk the dog on OU. What is an OU? What have they ever done in athletics? The Big 12 in basketball - what is that? A bunch of BigSouth wanna be schools. OU doesn't have a starter that could play on Liberty's squad. Bunch of scrubs. Is Oklahoma a state or a territory? I'm not even sure why we took this game. Maybe we are just looking to give OU some exposure or something.

I hope Dunton plays a bunch of kids to keep the score down. Everyone should get to play in this one. I hope no one gets hurt against these Nebraska rejects. I just hope Liberty isn't looking past OU. We have to win the first one before we can start thinking perfect season.

Go Flames. Win number 1.
And I have some ocean-front property in this territory that I'll sale for relatively cheap.

man, after reading some of the stuff on their Scout site, man oh man I'd like to get the W. It would be one of the biggest wins in LU history if this team could pull out a miracle but that would be secondary to me. I just want to see them eat crow.

We should be in the game. The more I read about OU the more I believe so. If we had Brewington I would say this would stand a chance at being a very close game. I still think its possible. We have to get our act together quick though as we are out of any significant practice time.

The more I read, the more I grimace about the thought of this one. If its is under 20, I will be ecstatic....Go Flames

If you're grimacing, we're in a lot worse shape than I thought--or OU is really underated. I doubt the latter.

Yeah, we are in worse shape than you thought.

Not to be negative, but who is going to score besides Blair. Alex is not going to be as productive as he will have to play against some real post players.

This could be a long season. We lose to a DII and squeak past the next opponent. Winthrop hangs with UNC and oRU beats Kansas :shock:

Im not what you would call a Kool-Aid drinker (Im more the nonconformist type frankly) but good freakin LORD! We lose an exhibition game to a DII school (which I will admit is not necessarily cool) and yall are basically burying this team and they haven't even played their FIRST FREAKIN LEGITIMATE GAME! Now I know that last year was painful to watch (I know I went to almost every home game and listened to a fair number of the road games from here in Lynchburg) but how about you all at least let these kids (yes they are kids some of them) get out on the court. Im not gonna say anything about these guys til that ball goes up. That's why I have generally avoided most of the threads about this season because I would much rather give my thoughts once Ive had a chance to see the boys play.

It's not just because the team lost in the preseason games.

It's how they've looked while losing.

I realize that...but again, I have not seen these boys play so any opinions I have are set aside until I have a chance to see them play and that won't be until after I come back from Thanksgiving break. They probably did look bad losing to Barton College, but I want to see these boys for myself. I also think that once they get the last piece of this years roster (with Dwight not eligible til 12/16) that may answer a few questions as well. I don't go for the Kool-Aid but I don't go for the Haterade either. That's the way I have been every year and that's the way Im going to continue to be.

I think the majority of this board is willing to hold off judgment until Brewington is available.

If we stay within 20, I will not do anything out of the Liberty Way over Thanksgiving break.


If we stay within 30, I will _______ during Thanksgiving break. (You guys fill it in)



(This has the chance of being the funniest, most out of line thing ever on this board. Had to make my 3900th post memorable)

I knew that one was coming.

Which one would be harder? Not breaking the Liberty Way or wearing a Winthrop shirt? The Liberty Way thing would be harder.

You buy it, I'll take a picture in it.

Haha...I wouldn't put you through that. I shudder at the thought of ever having to wear a Coastal shirt.

Never a good sign when we can't find five people to score.
