Liberty has lots of flights.. I doubt that's related to this.

But just in case, does anyone know if Izzo is a Christian?

Liberty has lots of flights but not lots of flights that are jet aircraft

The Cessna C56X is very much a jet. We apparently have two of them. FAW400 and FAW71.
400 is headed to Michigan

My productivity has been completely shot so far this morning, this is fun...

I've gotten a little bit done. But it was all admin stuff. Now I have to try to turn on creativity and design something.

yeah. I would be even worse off if I worked from home, haha

Yep. I'm sitting here in gym shorts with Mike & Mike on TV. Just ate a bagel for breakfast. Been a good morning.

To Clarify: Here is a link to the athletics FB post about the announcement:

[jimflamesfan]

I'm not on campus...is there any way to watch, or at least listen to this thing?

[VAGolf]

Lang just retweeted Brendan Quinn who said it isn't Meyer.

[jimflamesfan]

Right and those are the only flights that matter. Not the dozen or so little airplans flying around with Liberty tags.

[BJWilliams]

From what I can tell, it takes 2 hours to get from Benton Harbor (where that airport is located from the flight tracker) to Ann Arbor. Meyer would have had to leave from UM (or wherever) about 830 AM, get to the airport, check in, be waiting for the plane on the tarmac, get on and the plane leave immediately thereafter, and maybe he could have gotten here on time.

Liberty has settled on Virginia assistant Ritchie McKay as its next coach, a source told @CBSSports. Should be announced today.

- Gary Parrish, CBS per twitter

Jeff Meyer was considered. MT @GaryParrishCBS: Liberty has settled on Virginia assistant Ritchie McKay as its next coach. - Drew Hallett, Football & Hoops Editor, per twitter

[R i]

GMTM and this guy Lang Retweeted both said its not Meyer.

Maybe the same source, and maybe JB sniffing out rats. But its worth noting.

hahahahahhahahah and now we know they are messing with us... FAW560 scheduled to depart LYH -> BWI at 10:50a

Well played gentleman well played

[TDDance234]

And boom goes the dynamite. Parrish is usually "in the know" and wouldn't throw that out there unless it were all but confirmed.

[R i]

Mckay pulled his name from consideration for College of Charleston, he probably would have done the same thing in this case if he werent offered. If he wasnt coming to Lynchburg today at 1, he would have wanted to put an end to the madness and us talking about how he left as soon as possible.

All Signs are pointing to Ritchie. Except that dang plane going to Michigan.

[flamesfilmguy]

I'm going with my gut. After Looking through flightaware, I found a plane bound for Shenandoah Regional. and landing back at liberty by 11:45. The plane is "aircraft Unknown" and its not tagged with they typical Liberty Aeronautics label that all the other Aviation school planes have. Maybe i'm just going crazy but that airport isn't a far drive if they didn't want an airport showing up out of charlottesville. tell me what you guys think lol http://flightaware.com/live/airport/KSHD

[Purple Haize]

He also played the God card when he left, but in fairness, I actually believe he was totally sincere in all of it.

Bingo! Regardless of whether he tuns out to be the man introduced at 1pm, he is one of us. Need evidence? He's coaching at the highest profile school in the state and he sends his daughter down the road to his former workplace. And I know it can be shocking to hear, but sometimes leaving Liberty is within God's will.

I get why people are still so emotional about what happened six years ago. But I still buy his reasoning for leaving. He and his family are now in a different stage of life where coming home makes perfect sense. And sometimes the old Cinderella ballad from the '80s comes into play.

His name may not have the pop some would like for a multitude of reasons, but you can't deny his resume or results.

Agree with it all
But didn't Cinderella sing 'Nobody's Fool'?

That flight info, if for Meyer, is still feasible.

Lynchburg to Palm Beach, at 765 sm, took 1:41. This trip to Benton Harbor, at 510 sm, is scheduled to take 1:19. Perhaps "scheduled to arrive" is a bit conservative for this Michigan trip. And we all know that scheduled to arrive and actual arrival time can vary. Have you ever been delayed, yet eventually got to your destination when you were scheduled to?

[Dr. Sheh]

Now Jeff Goodman w/ ESPN chimes in per Twitter - Liberty is re-hiring Ritchie McKay, sources confirmed to ESPN. Amazing.

[Dr. Sheh]

Now Official from CBS. It is Ritchie - http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketb ... chie-mckay

[Purple Haize]

McKay will try to duplicate UVA's style. Interesting which will be more exciting. This year or last

[VAGolf]

Ritchie is a great hire. I hope our style doesn't match what UVA did this season. But at least we'll be competitive.
