The baseball team is up 5-0 on Georgia who will be a top 15 ball club in a few weeks, still a top 10 baseball program. Finally, the women's team with a chance to win yet another title. Enjoy today folks, today could truly be incredible and maybe a turning point for our atheltics program? Yah i'm probably hammered on the kool-aid right now but i don't care!

How can you not be? It doesn't take a genius to see something special is happening at Liberty University. We are witnesses ladies and gentleman.

How so? We get a tourney victory PLUS get Duke...No matter who we play if we make it past the 1st Rd is going to be a sure blow out, why not at least have some kind of emotional connection to who we play?

Eventually, a 16 seed is going to beat a 1 seed and will promptly go into the history books and be mentioned every time the "greatest upset in sports history" conversation comes up. Why would we not want to have a shot at being that team? Beating Duke (please not Indiana!) would be the absolute best possible thing for this team, given the circumstances.
