Maybe our AD and the Crimson Tide AD will get together and plant some seeds for future games between the 2 schools, in other sports.

Two thoughts: 1) Loved seeing SLY have to post the BAMA Logo but 2) #GO FLAMES!

Tide has good softball stadium, but Liberty's is nicer. I went to several games in Tuscaloosa a few seasons back.
We need Alabama's softball attendance numbers. If my memory is right, they draw 3000-4000, most every game.

Huge game for us. Winnable based on similar results. We need a p5 win on the resume to help with seeding should we win the tourney. I still think we can get as high as an 11 if can beat bama and win the remaining non conf games outside of ucla.

I don’t understand why Avery Johnson doesn’t have a better coaching record Maybe this will be the year he turns it around. After this game.

For thr record, I have been a AJ fan for over two decades from the first time I interviewed him as scrub guy at the end of the bench for the Rockets and wa sstunned by his crazy descriptions of the game .... to his days as player & coach for the Spurs when I covered that squad in the early dynasty years. Until he took the Bama job he actually lived near me as well. Great guy. Hope he loses badly in Huntsville.

I'm no guru but I do know how to read the game info at Libertyflames.com. This is our first meeting ever with them.

This will be a difficult game for me to watch as these are my two teams and schools! Yet, it is easier to watch LU vs Bama in basketball then it is in football obviously!
However, I would REALLY love to see us CRUSH BAMA tomorrow.

Sly gets to show his connections all the time... I thought I'd better take my ONE chance to do the same.
A fountain is outside the VBCC in honor of my Grandfather. I wish I would be able to catch this game in person, but alas, it isn't feasible.

Very cool! And for the record, I show EXTREME restraint most of the time these days. Wish Scar was still posting around here so I would feel freer to drop hte connections more. He was my brother in spirit.

Solid effort in first half. Left a few on the free throw line. Its going to take a better effort to get the win in 2nd half though.
If we can make a few more 3s or free throws or tighten up the d a hair we can win this.

Seems like they are trying not to be homers but Gold is radio voice of Alabama football and Sanderson was their hoops coach.
Trying to give them benefit of the doubt since they have no stats, but you are right the broadcast has been brutal. Not sure about you but my sound has been in and out.
