The Sportsline on WIQO just interviewed the Villanova HC. Very impressive guy. You can listen to it on their site

[LUGrad2000]

Just saw that the students pay 5bucks to ride the bus. Includes a ticket to the game and 2 box lunches!

They needed to make it attractive - finals start on Friday and it's going to be hard to drag students out of the library or their dorm rooms when they have to study!

Forbidden, was that Wes that leaped the pile and popped the ball carrier on that one play I believe in the 3rd quarter. The pile was moving and one of the Db"s came over the top and laid the wood. I thought that was indicative of our defense the last 2 weeks in the 2nd half. We tackled at the point of contact rather than allowing another 3 yards.

[Rooster Cogburn]

their coach is awesome for sure, and really good at coach speak too.

I think I may unfortunately be sitting this one out here in front of espn3. Had a blast at JMU. just not going to be able to swing this trip. Now, if there was a non student bus option ..... Haha

Either way. I'm so proud and happy for these guys and this staff. Equally excited to watch them do work. Go FLAMES. Keep it rolling.

Andy Talley is a very good coach who has done a tremendous things at Villanova, especially with his bone marrow foundation. The national championship speaks for itself.

He has also gotten into petty confrontations with opposing coaches because of his enormous ego. It happened at least two times this season alone, once with Laycock (W&M) and once with Gattuso (Albany).

Ha. I guess things really have changed then.

Have you seen our new library? And our new dorm?

I reckon he is the most excited having been to more games than I reckon anybody on this board. I hope he is well

There should be an award for using "reckon" twice in the same post, let alone the same sentence!

I think it will be close to 40/60 LU/Nova fans. I know Nova doesn't have the greatest attendance record, but they may be a little embarrassed this weekend. Hope we can take over the stadium!

Sorry...a little bit of my southern roots came out with a tinge of redundancy.

We've got more students than Villanova....

That is funny -- we have over 3,000 more students than them, yet we're "a small campus". We need better PR!

His response on twitter:

If you're worried about whether or not Liberty University is "small," you're worried about the wrong things.

Quite frankly, I'm more worried about his ability to use Google.
