Guys,

this is gonna be a great HC Friday night!

Fire Up the Furnace Set for Friday Night

October 10, 2006
Lynchburg, Va.
Liberty basketball fans will get their first opportunity to check out the 2006-07 men’s and women’s squads Friday night at the Vines Center. Fire Up the Furnace, an event celebrating the official start of basketball practice, will tip off at 11:30 p.m.

Both teams will be introduced before competing in several contests. Among the highlights of the event’s program are a three-point shootout and a slam dunk competition.

Coach Randy Dunton’s Flames are optimistic entering the season. Led by electrifying scorer Larry Blair, Liberty has just over a month remaining to prepare for its Nov. 16 opener at Oklahoma against the Sooners.

Carey Green and the Lady Flames will be seeking their 11th-straight Big South title this season. The entire roster returns from last season, including first-team all-conference honoree Allyson Fasnacht. Liberty gets its season underway Nov. 11 with a home matchup against Norfolk St

Sly, I will take as many pics as I can. The ones from Friday will be of me sitting on the bench. I am not gonna make a fool of myself that is for sure. I will defer to my younger, more talented teammates :lol: Sly, Charles Richardson just told me he is coming too btw. We keep getting more and more players committing. I may not have to even dress!

I might be there, I don't know. My parents will be in town and it depends on if I'm doing anything for my birthday or not.

wait, is this "midnight" madness? Could my friend have picked a worse time to get married? I'm shunning him for being so inconsiderate.

He should be shunned for having a wedding during football season anyways. I'm missing a friend's wedding who I was close to growing up because of the game.

I know. It's really inconsiderate for anybody to get married from September - March. But I'm in it and I made him be in mine so, I just have to miss midevening madness and a record breaking crowd at Williams Stadium and the rest of homecoming activities. I see no problem with this :|

If you've seen the show 'Friday Night Lights' on NBC this fall (and surprisngly few people have), you understand why I can't get over there because of my high school football duties. Its bigger than any wedding. :wink:

You obviously were not at my Sister in Law's wedding last year :wink: She got married in the National Cathedral in DC! Mrs SCAR is not high maintenance like that thankfully.



TShirtMan. Do you know if Adam Hopkins is coming? I heard he lives in town but I have not contacted him.

"Hey, you remember that time SCAR tried to dunk in the alumni game and ruptured his right pinky-toe?"

That would be a great headline for the FlameFans forum. You're lucky it's an alumni game, I don't want to have to embarass you. :)

I have 2 days to get in shape. I was thinking of a training sequence similar to Philadelphia's own Rocky Balboa. But not that cross training stuff he did in Rocky IV in Russia. No I am talking about the original when he ran from the Vet to the Art Museum steps! I don't think I could ride my bike that far but I could give it a shot! Seriously, you guys won't see me on the court much. I say get there early and watch warmups. I am gonna have some fun with it though. I will try to be like Riber and squeeze off 5 shots in 1 minute like he used to do at the end of games back in 04 :P

The word down in Charlotte is that scores of Liberty alumni are lining up to dunk on Scar. I'd love to watch, but alas, I will be freezing my tail off at the JF-Appomattox game.

I think you have to play defense to get dunked on. So I can safely say I won't get dunked on this weekend. :)
