well considering that you guys are getting trolled by some idiots, they felt appropriate.

Ok.......I got to get this off my chest so i can move on. I honestly dont know what school would want to give up a schloaship, for a guy who will have to sit out a year and then still wont start at mid ACC school. Seth is stupid to think his stock will change by going to a ACC or SEC school becasue he wont even get close to what minutes he got here at LU. This really is bad move on his part cause its not gonna help him in anyway. I know there will be some that will disagree with my post but whatever.

[rueful]

yeah but there are much funnier things. Like marriedtothesea.com or nataliedee.com or toothpastefordinner.com

hilarious. but cant be uploaded to a message board. but seriously, the fail pictures and lolz cats are funny, when used sparingly and not twice a day

yeah thats such an obvious thing too. I mean that must be why no one cares about wrestling

Double that double true.

[zdbecker]

Seth curry,

Not...
in the top 50 FG% for the BSC (10th on the team)
in the top 25 3PT% for the bsc (4th on the team)

Lets be honest, hes a solid player, but if any one who doesnt have the last name curry put up numbers that bad they would be sitting, i dont care if they scored 20 a game, come on guys, yall have been drinking the juice a little to long. Yeah it was exciting to be on espn and all over the internet. Its rare that LU sports is any where let alone big networks. But I want to be on TV because were winning games not because we have a player house last name is that same as a guy who played in the NBA. Seths good, hes not great, and the rest of the world will find that out soon, including himself. Im not bitter, I have gone to every game this year except the ones over christmas break out west. Im just not that impressed. I thinik you could argue that we may have had a better year with out him. If you go by njumbers there is no doubt. But I understand that there is more to basketball then that. I understand that people FG% went up because of Seth, But lets settle down, he is not a future NBA star, or an ACC star, he is a future role player on an acc team, hes only a star at a school like liberty, I really think he will regret it, and I really doubt that we willl.

[rueful]

i think everyone agrees with what you said zd, and that same basic thought has been shared on here a hundred times today. Its more just the shock because up until the last few days, no body ever thought he would be a transfer. and then bam, he transfers.

[rueful]

and in other news, when was the last time ritchiemckay.com was updated? geeze

[WWJFD]

My turn...

I heard the news at 4 PM. I was a little shocked, but not totally.

I think Seth's statement was not necessary.

Coach did the political thing by saying what was published (but he has to be stewing).

I think Seth will still have a very good college career where ever he lands. I think alot of schools, major and mid, would like to have him on their team. I don't think him leaving LU will turn coaches away from wanting him. I don't think he will have the career he would have here. Maybe some are right that he would have been too selfish for the RM system. We will never know.

I think in the long run the LU team will be fine.

I enjoyed reading the thread. Lots of perspective.
Good night!

[zdbecker]

Im really glad he thanked the fans. That was classy. Some people spent a lot of money going to every home and away game except 2 out west, and lost a few letter grades in classes halin thier A$$ all over the southeast watching the kid play. At least he could have said thanks. Im not thanking him for a year at Liberty, what a joke.....Im going to send him a bill.....maybe dady will pay it. Any body who "wishes" him the best should transfer to. Come on now guys. You dont root for kids who abandon your school. I hope he plays close so I can go heckle him, that sjust a reflection of how bitter I am, and my lack of a life, I know.

Also, I saw Seth earlier, he said the real reason is The barnes and noble isnt finished yet, he couldnt wait any longer....

[rightdirection]

Yeah, it's a shame because he worked hard to make the team, but I just don't think he fits in the way he wanted to or that coach wants him too.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him or one or two other guys go (not all at once, just as possibilities). And I would hate to see any of them go, honestly, but at this point it's just kind of the way the game is played. I love Johnny, I remember him sitting as a fan cheering on the team last season and just thinking what a heart and passion for the game he had.

So we find it appropriate to run players off yet call them the tinman when a performing talent decides to exit. And Loyalty and Intregrity are hurled thing spears at those who no longer desire to be Flames under this staff. This is shock and awe with the damages to be determined next BSC. Many seems to think we will better our 4th, 3rd place finishes

This happens under this staff as well as the staff that is currently in your ear.....remember David Dees? A new name isnt needed though, we've come to embrace your hater attitude towards everything going on up here!

HMO have you lost any objectivity or is it just defend and attack for protectionism. We just finished third in a very weak BSC. In the last seven games we went 3-4 losing by 104pts (26 pt ave). 2 were at HOME, 1 on a nuetral floor and 1 on the road. Year 1 we lose 7 of the last 11 with a 2-4 record at crunch time with arguable the best pt g, post and 2009 preseason poy. Then we lose 2 of our much ballyhooed freshmen including the leading freshmen scorer in history. Year one we lose a very good BJ Jenkins and blame the previous staff. These are 3 players who started in 94 out of 100 games. But if we differ from your rose colored glasses perspective we get BANNED.
You talk of lifers yet when a first year AD comes in and with less then ethical means undermines lifers we just call it "business". The baseball staff were all alumni who just completed the best 3yr run in LU history. Finishing runner up to a great CCU team. Loyalty to your own?? Family?? And of course we won't talk about BSC finishes in basketball because 2-1-2-3 in 5 years wasn't progress from MH's disaster. There are those of us who love Liberty University and vehemently disagree with the lets always spin this for the positive and cast negatives on those who would dare expose flaws. Seth Curry, Brolin Floyd and BJ Jenkins transfers are to the roster what a 37 pt VMI whipping was to our mental psyche when it was a huge game. And like all the spin of yeah that was good and "they won't want to play us in a week"...wrong again VMI thrashed us on a nuertral site.

Good point. Real men roll around on the floor with other sweaty guys in spandex and try to stick their fingers in places where the sun doesn't shine.

(now you see why I wanted to know who wanted to "nuke" this guy til he glowed in the morning sun)

[Rocketfan]

I also believe we need to give credit to Coach McKay for not trashing Seth as he heads out the door. It would be easy to get nasty when you feel jilted. He has shown nothing but class today and that is why we are fortunate to have him leading our squad.

Do you really think LU would like Mckay say anything negative about a player as he heads out the door? He gets paid to show class whether he cuts or player or a player leaves. I think your over dramatizing this big time and i don't think im alone in this....

[FlameNForest]

Too bad Seth couldn't have done what his brother did and just stick with the school that gave him a chance and just showed everyone else what they missed out on. At LU he could've been the best player to come through here. At some ACC school, guys like him are a dime a dozen. Not a knock on him, but he'll likely get lost in the mix elsewhere.

no. they get up early, work out hard. offer no excuses and blame no one but themselves when they lose. they work their butts off for 4 years in HS so that they can have the honor of wrestling for the college institution that they idolized while growing up. when they lose, they often go run 8 to 10 miles because they are mad at themselves. one kid this year did that AFTER completely tearing his ACL.

Bottom line: They don't throw childish fits about not getting to score enough, or not having hard enough competition. they don't whine about the team not supporting them, or the school not being good enough to get them where they want to be - despite having made a comittment to that school and its fans. Wrestlers suck it up and deal with disappointment and then get better. They don't go sulk, whine, think about whats best for "ME" and then go transfer. It's about hard work and integrity. Something you don't see very much (if at all) on the hardwood.

Case in point: Anthony Robles @ Arizona State
(Home of two Severns & former LU Wrestling coach Don Shuler)

btw, this is him defeating an Iowa Wrestler in the second round.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CacNya6DfFo

and in case you're wondering, he runs an 8 min mile on crutches. If bball players had this kind of work ethic and determination, I'd be a fan.

I like how the top story on the N&A is how some local group is doing tests on compost.

Lynchburg is such a cow town.

I think he may actually hurt his NBA Draft stock depending on where he goes.
