okay, you keep thinkin' that :wink:
Sorry. I couldn't help but bust on ya. I watch a lot of CAA basketball, and you guys just don't strike me as a program that is ready to compete with VCU, Mason, and ODU.
okay, offtopic time:

yeah, that's why we beat Mason at home this season WITHOUT 2 of our best players, took VCU to OVERTIME in Richmond WITHOUT the same 2 players, and crushed ODU at home during the regular season.

Seriously man?

That's like saying Liberty is ready for the ACC b/c we beat UVA and played close with Clemson.
:roll:

No, it's not.

They were very competitive in the CAA this year. They aren't top notch yet but they were right up there. They were in the hunt until the end for first.

Nice to see him talking to Andy. I guess he doesn't have the balls to talk to LU people.

Ritchie McKay, who stepped down as Liberty's head coach on Wednesday, told ESPN.com's Andy Katz that he will become an assistant to Bennett at Virginia.
I'm sure you guys love the first sentence of that article....

...and he will be a part of rebuilding UVa's program? If I'm not mistaken, I thought Bennett wanted to rebuild with passion and INTEGRITY.

Well we had to figure McKay was due to leave, it is his 2nd year here and if I am not mistaken he picks up and leave most placees after two years. Anyway like he has said it takes a special person to come to LU, it takes even a more special person to stay and finish his or her business at LU. Neither McKay or Curry can say that they did that.

“The hard part for us is just the perception,” McKay said. “Seth leaves. Brolin leaves. What’s going on there? B.J. left last year. But Liberty is not for everybody. It’s just not. We’ve got a great situation here, and we believe in the mission of the university.

overall record for McKay

39-28

now really what are we losing here??

i could see if he was 57-10, but he wasn't so..... liberty basketball will survive, today sucked, but today is almost over, and tomorrow is a whole new day.... so what we will have a new lineup and new coach next year, i still plan on being front and center rooting on the guys on the court
