The 2008-09 men’s basketball season is set to tipoff in just 24 days, when the Montreat Cavaliers invade the Vines Center on Nov. 14 for a 9:15 p.m. start. Until the ball is tossed up to begin the season, LibertyFlames.com will bring you various videos presented by the LUnatics to get you ready for the 2008-09 men’s hoops season.

I was looking for a Scar ETSU dunk pic on the hallway to McKay's office, but I didn't spot it. If Rocco can have his NFL & All American walls, McKay should at least have a Scar wall. :idea:

wasnt vines finished in 89 though?

and I guess I never realized the schilling was as big as that video made it look

The multi held 3500 I believe. We used to pack it out for big games and it was a real home court advantage. Vines wasn't complete until the Fall of 1990 when I had already played my last game in a flames uniform (other than alumni games of course)

Did anyone get the brochures for season tickets in the mail? On the cover of the brochure is a shot of the Dorm 11 section, and there's mr. LUConn looking like he's trying to hold his head above water.

I guess the LUnatics just don't look cool enough to make it onto these things.

and apparently GMTM is making the web site now, under the picture

"Buy you basketball season tickets today!"

Section 123 represent! It's funny, you hang on the front chains all season long but as soon as a photographer comes by you get 50 kids trying to get in the picture.

Woah, did anybody notice with this new seating configuration that they ordered courtside seats? That's pretty awesome. Unless you're a LUnatic. Because they'll be in front of you.

Which means, if you're a LUnatic, you'll have to play nice.
