From Chris' LU Notebook ...
Road supportClick Here for Full Story
Two years ago at Williamsburg's Zable Stadium, the Flames' band of traveling fans could be counted on two hands. Liberty was in the midst of a two-game skid in which it was outscored 98-0, so that was understandable.
Contrast that with the Liberty fan turnout last Saturday at Zable, and it's easy to see the transformation the Flames' program has made. Liberty sold out its allotment of 500 tickets and easily twice that many people were wearing LU colors in the stands.
"We do notice that," Liberty safety Ryan Greiser said. "The fan support has been really tremendous this year. Every game, it's been 12,000 fans in the stands. And I was really surprised to see how many people actually showed up at the game in Williamsburg, especially the students.
"It's really great when students will travel three hours to a game just to watch you play for a couple of hours. The fans mean a lot to us, and it's been great so far."
