My boss signs everything RMc. I could live with that.

Or else we could just call him Coach McKay ...

Here's to hoping that Coach McKay will be introduced in CONVO so the whole student body can meet him!

I certainly think he will be in convo today. Makes the most sense.

Is there going to be a link somewhere with the audio stream? I'm sure either bigsouthsports.com of libertyflames.com will have one, but if not would someone be able to post a link for those of us that were unable to listen to it live?

90 minutes since the press conference and still NO mention our new coach on the LU basketball website or the BSC website.

In Convo, Coach McKay addressed the audience and said he wanted to "engage and unleash you" at the home games and then teased "I heard it gets really loud in here" to which the audience errupted with cheers!

I love the concept of "unleashing" the student body. There may be a PR campaign there

UNLEASH THE FIRE!!!

I have heard similiar reports. The crowd went nuts for RM and hopefully will be a breathe of fresh air in the Furnace.

I just got chills thinking about a student body fully engaged again for basketball games. "UNLEASH THE FIRE!!" It has a nice ring to it. Maybe FF should use it on the new banner.
