Posted July 12th, 2010

As the 2010 football season approaches for the Liberty Flames, I am going to take a look at some of the LU opponents. We start with St. Francis of Pennsylvania who comes as a lamb to the slaughter at newly renovated Williams Stadium on opening night, September 4th.

I admit a great deal of satisfaction when I typed it last night. I guess I shouldn't expect a bunch of Baptists & Pentecostals to catch the reference. Where's Phoenix? He'll laugh.

The 2nd game of the season at renovated Williams Stadium is on October 2nd against a familiar foe, Savannah State.

Yeah, the Tigers could use a new logo as much as a winning season … something SSU has not enjoyed in its decade as a Division I program. The good news for SSU after years of wandering in the abyss of financial despair and FCS Independent status, the Tigers received their best news in years when the MEAC accepted them as provisional members in March of this year. SSU still needs to upgrade its scholarships, budget and staffing by next year to become a full member. But for a program that has seem massive turnover in coaches & players, this is a HUGE deal. Speaking of coaching turnover …

It has been two years since the Flames went down to Clinton, South Carolina and saw their visions of their 1st playoff berth slip away at the hands of Presbyterian. Its time for payback against the Blue Hose.

Good info. With G-W being picked 5th, I think that takes some pressure off of them, although Patton can't afford to come out and lay a 4-7 or 3-8 egg this fall, even with a relatively young team.

I'm seeing us at 7-4 and 4-2 in the league. We'll get stronger as the year progresses, a total 360 from the past few years.
