Flames vs. WVU: Hot start for LU football in ’09Click Here for Full Story

Liberty football coach Danny Rocco has certain criteria for scheduling games against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents.
Is it a quality opponent from the Big East or ACC? Is it a regional opponent, one that LU fans can easily reach by car? Will it give the Flames a boost in one of their traditional recruiting areas?
Check all three on West Virginia, Liberty’s opponent to open the 2009 season.
With the WVU game finalized, Liberty needs one more game to complete its 2009 schedule. Also on the non-conference home slate are games against James Madison and Iona, along with a to-be-determined opponent.
The Flames will travel to Lafayette in 2009 to complete a home-and-home series that will begin in October at Williams Stadium.
Liberty will host Big South opponents Coastal Carolina, Presbyterian and VMI in 2009 and travel to Stony Brook, Charleston Southern and Gardner-Webb in league play.

If WVU has a message board, somebody should spring this breaking news on them to see what they say. I nominate BJ, Sly, or Super.It's not a big deal up there. Just another I-AA opponent - a fun 62-14 win, maybe. Their athletic department won't even bother issuing an official announcement regarding it. It'll just come out with the rest of their '09 schedule, probably sometime in March of that year.

Couch burning was VTech in '03. Something like 40+ street arrests were made on Grant Avenue by the fire department (some handcuffed to a utility pole and called in to police for pick-up).
