speaking of which. Shouldn't we update the Big South boards over to the ASun in the non sports section?
The links to the BSC boards could have been taken down years ago and nobody would have noticed. Some of them have shut down, and the rest are dying a slow painful death. I don´t know if the situation with ASUN fan boards is any better.

Smitty back on campus to talk to the team.



If anyone knows where you can get one of those T-shirts he has on, please post it here. If they are not marketing those to Liberty alumni, they are really missing a great opportunity.

Texan in the house! And I might add the best dunker I can ever recall wearing LU gear.

Count me in for one of those as well, Oldflame.

Don´t be surprised if the little guy with him in those pics is the next great Liberty dunker.

As far as the best ever, Smitty is on the short list, but IMHO that honor goes to someone who played in the no dunk era and never got to dunk in a college game.

I actually agree with this and think he was never used the right way. If he was I think he could of gone down as the best to ever wear an LU uniform.

Any way we can get some information like some old video on this player?

The shirts were apparently a promotion Nike did with the schools they sponsor (including Liberty) back in 2016.

My guess is Ritchie has a few stashed away and gave one to Smitty. Probably NFS at any price, but who knows. There are similar shirts for sale on Amazon for some schools (and for Jesus) but not Liberty. Universal Ts should be all over this.

Video posted by Henry Barrera of team working out running up snowflex hill.



Correct me if I´m wrong, but isn´t that Brendan Newton leading the charge? Unless this was some kind of a staggered start, that´s impressive to say the least.

It looks like they were lined up that way, putting Newton in the front. The fact that he remained in the front and was pushing up the hill is still impressive to watch.

100% agree. Based on talent and experience, this should be our best team under McKay. The OOC schedule is tough, and I think that shows that Ritchie is confident that the guys are ready to step it up a notch. ASUN is no piece of cake, but frankly, there is nobody there I think can beat us 3 times like Radford did last year.
