Its probably going to be CSU, Coastal and Liberty when the voting comes down tomorrow (not necessarily in that order). With Stony Brook leaving for the CAA in 2012 and VMI leaving for the SoCon after 2013, it was a question of who would take over that place as the third team in that top tier of the Big South. CSU has a chance to really lock themselves into that spot this year and not prove that last year was a "fluke" year thanks to a soft first half of the season and catching CCU on a bad day.

I am still having a hard time getting excited for the season. Have I become this jaded???!!!

I just had my first moment of excitement when I realized homecoming was a 7PM kick.

[thepostman]

I'm not able to make homecoming this year. I am so bummed about that.

[BJWilliams]

Ive got that one circled on my calendar for sure

[jcmanson]

There's a very real possibility we could be 4-1 and in the top 25 entering homecoming week against Richmond.

[R i]

Now thats what Im talking about Manson, Spread the positive vibe.

[Chris Lang]

There's a very real possibility we could be 4-1 and in the top 25 entering homecoming week against Richmond.

If LU is not 4-1 heading into that game, there is no hope for an at-large playoff bid. Any loss to Norfolk, Bryant or ISU is a season ender.

Party pooper

[Chris Lang]

That's my job.

Season ender might be a bit hyperbole considering the Big South auto bid will still be on the line.

We aren't beating Coastal in Myrtle. They aren't losing two games. There's no Big South auto bid on the line.

There is a good possibility that we will be 4-1, but I don't think that we will be in all of the top 25 polls. Probably getting close in a few, but not there yet in most.

[jcmanson]

I did say "could" be.

[bluejacket]

Its not the "could" that I disagree with. Its the "very real possibility" part.

[Sly Fox]

If we are 4-1, I think very real possibility is fair.

[BJWilliams]

Why not just cancel the rest of the season if we aren't 4-1 heading into homecoming

[SuperJon]

Cause I've already paid for my hotel room for homecoming.

[jcmanson]

How about this one: It's possible we could be 9-2 and ranked in the top 10 heading into our season finale.

[Kolzilla41]

Why not just cancel the rest of the season if we aren't 4-1 heading into homecoming

Because I just paid a good amount of money for the Flames Club and season tickets

[TDDance234]

We aren't going to be 4-1, so it won't matter.

[BJWilliams]

TDD's (and a few others) bitterness aside, players report today so we now go from expectations to reality starting tomorrow

#BigSouthChamps #NOSHARING

[SuperJon]

Did you just make up #NoSharing? As dumb as hashtags are on a message board, that's actually a pretty decent hashtag.

[BJWilliams]

I did, because I am done with all the co-championships. Im excited for the year but I do not want to share anymore...If we're gonna talk about the season on Twitter or Facebook, I want it to be clear that we are not sharing the Big South title...when we say "Big South Champs" at the end of this year, I want us to be the ONLY ones saying it. So, I figured Id put it up here and plant a seed in the minds of Flames Nation
