Everyone who enters the gate is a counter even if they only need to use the restroom. Everyone using actual attendance goes by that mantra.

But Liberty doesn't, so any point on he basis of "actual attendance" is moot.

Liberty has been using more accurate numbers as of late or at least it seems...

Not mad, just logical.

There's nothing logical about making predictions concerning the outcome of athletic events, so let's just squash that up front.

Not sure how anyone could predict 37 points to Wake Forest when we gave up 33 to West Virginia and we have arguably the same defense if not better defense than we did against the Mountaineers.

When you say the "the same defense if not better", there's no way to know that until they're on the field. New scheme. New coaches. No games played. West Virginia was a long time ago. I'm not basing the outcome of a game this season on that game. Way too many differences.

However, for the record, It wasn't a lack of confidence in our defensive abilities that caused me to predict a goose egg. It was a lack of confidence in our offense. I didn't think they'd stay on the field long enough to give the defense a rest, which I thought would ultimately result in things running away a bit toward the end.

I was wrong, and I've already admitted that. It wasn't like I was coming completely out of left field, though.

But did you take into consideration our recent history against FBS opponents and the fact that we were playing Wake Forest?

I did. I also recalled when Stony Brook hung 41 on us during the last game of the season last year (which was much closer to this game than the WV game), and they weren't an FBS squad. (Don't forget VMI put 31 points on the board the week before that.) Our defense isn't infallible and (to me) it stood to reason that there were just too many changes on this team for us to come in and be that competitive with even a mediocre FBS team.

Again, I was wrong and I'm not upset about that. It was a prediction that went further than most, but it wasn't completely insane.

Now don't be so pompous about being right. It's just not nice.

Our soft corners hurt us a lot last year...saw marked improvement this week!
There's a lot of deserved excitement about this team and staff.
This ball takes funny bounces...any given Saturday!

Go Flames!!!

I dont think my heart could take that kind of game!

[SYNERGY of Sparta]

Liberty 37
NSU-10

I understand that NSU is ranked #23 and they went to the playoffs last year (and lost to Old dominion) but they are in the MEAC and play teams like Savannah State, who we played in 2010 and beat (52-14) I have confidence that we will work out our timing issues this week, and with the addition of Aldreakis Allen in the backfield, WE GOT THIS

GO FLAMES!

Nsu beat ssu last year something like 45-3! So technically we smashed them worse than y'all did... But the point is not the level of competition in th meac as much as the competition on Saturday. Is the liberty a type of team that gets in shootouts agains the opposing team?

*ps. I don't think the band is coming... Something about they were not welcomed last time?

[SYNERGY of Sparta]

Oh... My prediction:
23-14 nsu

Go Spartans!

[alabama24]

Last minute prediction - 31-17 LU

[LibertyVeteran]

MASN2 is showing the Orioles game........

[phoenix]

I'm going to say 31-14 LU. I'm going to go further and say it will be 17-7 LU at halftime.

21,000 people will watch the game, including about 2,000 from Norfolk State (maybe more).

I'm right so far

[Sly Fox]

Wish you would have been more accurate in the second half.

[El Scorcho]

If R i hadn't shown up and been so darned reasonable then I could have gone down in this thread as being the only LU person to pick the loss. And I was joking.

[adam42381]

I wonder what logic thought about the attendance?

[Purple Haize]

It did not compute ha
