Kentucky played them tough.

Also they are the only source available for detailed reporting of the high schools. LU has extensive web coverage and even TV. So, I don't blame them for it covering those more at all. It would be nice however to get at least a brief mention of Liberty's game.

Agree with LUDad, it's reassuring to have someone to shut 'em down in the last inning.Wondering if they went light to see what kind of product we would have on the field with the idea of adding on if the team is producing. Series against St. John's could end up being great addition. They are 4-0 right now with a win over Coastal Carolina.
It's great having LFSN coverage. Good job Alan & Matt. Unfortunately, LFSN is dropping the production schedule to a maximum of 9 games this year. (Kentucky, Duke, JMU games and the High Point and Campbell Series). I believe more than 20 games were dropped from last season. If anyone that reads this has some pull with LFSN, let's get some more games for Coach Jackson's inaugural season.

And the guy in front of me got nachos with chili AND cheese.Those hot dogs predate the FBS move. They're huge and tasty (especially with mustard and onions) and I don't even like hot dogs .
