A Sea Of Red

Liberty is stepping up with their checkbook as opposed to whining for weather legislation.

"If you have 11.7 scholarships, nice facilities, a strong academic system, and hard-working coaches, you can have success no matter who you are," Toman said. "College baseball has never been better. I think with the television and the ticket sales, the sport is healthy. These schools see what others have done and feel they can emulate. Jeff Barber was at South Carolina and saw it first hand. He wants to bring that here. The football teams is in the top 25 in Division I-AA with an eye on potentially moving to Division I. The whole program has a top 25 D-I philosophy.

"Enrollment is up. Lynchburg is a neat town. The whole school and area is growing at a rapid pace. We have a little of everything for everyone. We have a Christian environment and an administration who wants to win. It is a good time to be at Liberty."

Also, the hard copy of the Lynchburg fishwrap is reporting that LU will play a number of scrimmages this week that they are calling "the world series."

Every school as a "World Series" at the end of their fall practice. Call it their version of the spring game at the end of spring practice for football.

Sounds like a good excuse to TAILGATE and welcome the new team.

When I went down to Alabama last March and watched them play LSU...They were tailgating all over the place before the game and during the game behind right field...pretty cool site

that was a great game to watch. that was some real college baseball.

I've said since Toman was hired that once we get lights and the team really starts creating a puzz, you'll have people tailgating behind right field. The grass down there is great for that.

I've been wanting to see someone create a puzz around here for a long time now.

Crap, how did I put a p there? P is nowhere close to B?


I'm dumb.

Shhhhhhhhh--that's my secret tailgaiting spot during the football games, but you're right as usual, Super: that spot is the closest thing LU has to a park.

Once they close the access road above the field, and build and open the access road behind the fence and along the tracks...the hill above the hopeful stadium will be perfect.

My understanding is that they're not closing that road. In fact, the blueprint I saw showed a parking lot up there.

I guess our Chancellor was mistaken when he said otherwise in today's faculty meeting.

i thought they were putting a parking lot below dr. falwell's memorial spot ofr visitors, thus they could not close the road, btu it is all rumor i suppose.

Hey. I just said that's what my understanding was. I saw a blueprint on a desk. If plans changed, that's fine. Just trying to be helpful.

please continue, ladies
