I do not give a rats "tail" who we are playing .... WE ARE IN!
Just sad we will miss it due to a prior obligation we have. We have been attending this form years with friends.

Now, if anyone can loan us a private aircraft we would purchase some tickets.
The stadium seating blows. Looks like one sideline for two teams. All the good seating right in the center go to bowl donors. Looking at bthe stadium I think it would be hard to find a bad seat.
Plenty of cheap tickets available but we would have been in on the 150 for best possible seating near the team (and food).
In really wish we were not missing this one. Amber (my daughter) is really bummed. Maybe next year

Congratulation Flames Football! Now go burn the Eagles.

Kudos on getting a bowl game but I hate the matchup.

Fantastic matchup. Sun Belt was too good for us. Now we show them.

We need to make up for the drubbing Louisiana gave us. I'm really not that worried about the option. There's a new DC in town, and I'm confident we'll be prepared. GA Southern averages 260 on the ground, but only 333 in total offense. No passing game at all.

[ballcoach15]

Two weeks to prepare. I would think coaching staff has some connections, to get scouting report on how to stop Georgia Southern.

I was on GA campus 2 or 3 years ago. Can't remember why I was there.

Someone asked for ticket and hotel information

GaSo opens as a 8.5 point favorite. Down to 6 already.

Those who cannot make trip to Orlando, should consider buying a ticket, and donating it to charity or military member. There's a program for this. It would boost our ticket sales, and help us build a reputation for strong bowl support.

[CCWMichael]

After a little research we are not doing the soccer style sidelines. Teams will be opposite on the field.
Tickets for GS are better for them as they are mid-field on their side.
Also, anyone aware of how many tickets Liberty had to purchase contractually?

Aka someone buy ball coach a ticket and donate it to him!

That was more a statement but back to bowl information discussion. I'm having an issue at the moment selecting flights and finding a hotel/air bnb. I wish we would know what hotel information/deals that Liberty will be presenting for hotels.

Maybe or maybe not having a background in this you will be better served financially going your own route if you are staying in an AirBnB etc. I’m sure The Cure Bowl has a hotel corporatize sponsor that has a reduced event rate as well.

Booked two two rooms, both with 2 queen beds, for $139 each at Crown Plaza. ! mile from stadium. Can cancel without penalty until 17th. Reserve with card, pay upon stay. Residence Inn was $104 but buy now, non-refundable.

We got Double Tree right up the road. The parking was something I went ahead and booked after looking at the Cure Bowl website and some recommendations. Not crazy about the pricing on that though.

I tried to do this, but it says I have too many login attempts failed and now it will not let me back in. Is this for students only? I didn't go to Liberty, but would purchase a couple tickets for military/others.

Should be for anyone

A little pregame research shows that Georgia Southern gave up 241 yards passing per game. 3 teams we played gave up more passing yards than that and we went 2-1 against those teams(the 2 wins against Umass and New Mexico and the 1 loss against Syracuse). Offensively, I think we will be fine going against their defense. 2 things concern me: 1. Their option attack and how we have fared against that offense in the past. 2. due to their option attack we will not have as many offensive possessions so we must be really efficient.

And HCHF is 3-1 in bowl games.

This is absolutely a winnable game. But it is LU’s. First time so that could be a factor. IMO it makes it more appealing because this should be a competitive game. There is no secret what LU has to do to win. The question is, can they do it

Don't know the number, but if you look at the seating chart and the sections where they are selling tickets through the school, you could make a guestimate. I'd say somewhere between 5 and 10 thousand, and they can probably get more if they need them.

[thepostman]

It should be a close, competitive game but I've been burned by LU for so long it is hard for me to be optimistic. But it is a new day at Liberty. Or so it seems.

[jinxy]

When teams have multiple weeks to prepare against the option the win percentage flips big time whether its season opener, coming off bye, or bowls.

[ballcoach15]

When I watch a triple option team play, it reminds me of high school football. If it wasn't for military academies needing to run it, I'd like to see rules tweaked to put triple option team at such a disadvantage, that no one would use it in NCAA.

For those worried about the venue, Exploria Stadium is beautiful. I've been there for soccer games and there truly isn't a bad seat in the house. FYI one of the end zones is standing bleachers only, it is used for their supporters section. Another side note is that the upper deck is covered and makes for great cover from sun, rain, etc. Hope everyone that can make it enjoys!

I completely agree. It is a beautiful venue and I think people will enjoy watching a game there.

Is our band going to be at the game?
