I think I'm going to have to miss this game. Which is really a shame because I'm dying to watch the impending pounding. If our guys don't come out of the blocks fired up, I'd be worried. Although it has been over 2 months. Maybe they forgot about being embarrassed on national TV.

Considering standings, home game and all, This seems like one we really need.
All bets (figuratively speaking) on LU, which does add a little pressure, but I'll be surprised if we do not win handily.

i need atleast a 20 pt win to feel like some level of vengeance is served, then to knock them out of the tournament would be satisfying too

I'd just prefer U-verse add the channel. I have like every other regional in the country except MASN.

And I'd love to see the Liberty Channel added as well to the 25+ religious channels I have. That would solve all my problems.

That would be kinda like what we did to you guys last year now wouldn't it sports fans??

Alright- I know you guys have been highly anticipating this game since the first game this year from our various posts... we are NOT a very good road team at times (Campbell & Winthrop games) - in fact the past couple of home games have been far from anything enjoyable for me to watch personally but we're finding ways to win close games with the exception of last nights awful final 5 minutes against the Eagles, however we have had some good road wins at Gardner Webb & taking Radford to OT on the road- UNCA, just like Liberty is a team that is very inconsistent right now.. Plus of all the teams I can think of, we match up rather well with Liberty since both teams lack any real size/post presence- so obvious advantage for the Flames shooting on their home court..

That does not mean I'm not above rooting whole heartedly for the Bulldogs to burst your bubbles & pull off what I think would be an upset over the Flames on the road- GO Bulldogs!!

That was a very weak attempt at banter, kingaling.

Ha ha!! Fumbles- I figured I'd leave out the "facts" that UNCA obviously can't/won't shoot the basketball well in such a large setting with backboards not attached to the walls- we ALL know that no real basketball players would ever want to be in that setting like ours- I'm still wondering how we won by 28 points on national TV last time- oh wait it's because you guys were scared of the Dog Pound right?? Guess we'll have to see if the Vines is any better.. time will tell!!

Yeah- we're certainly not playing well & it's actually really easy to see how to beat UNCA which I wont get into right now- if McKay is worth his salt he should figure it out rather easily- bottom line is we're only 1 win from being seeded above Liberty right now.. not too bad for the pre-season 9th place team- Loss to WU last night was unnecessary but maybe that will provide some motivation for this VA road trip @LU & @VMI.. but did you really think I wouldn't show up??

Ahhh- this is true.. New job responsibilities, not nearly as much computer time to talk junk!! I'll be here at times throughout the next few days though- don't you guys fret!! I expect some banter though- I know there are some folks with some pent up anger toward the absolute -$$ whooping we gave you at the JC on ESPN!! No matter how many accolades Curry gets this year or in his career- just know that I for one will never forget how he got handled by JP Primm (who's been MIA lately- that's another story!) that day..

Since I'm playing with fire here... Whatcha got Flame fans??? Anything good or am I just going to hear emotional spewing the next few days til this next game is settled?? I'll return later...
