I know he is.....I have said several time I really like ACE in the post.....I was just so ticked watching Armon beat everyone up and down the court. Like how does he expect playing time when he doesn't hustle, or does he at least do that in practice

Good teams do better than 1-10 on the road.
Yeah, well, we're not a good team. We don't have a good coach. We don't have good players. We don't have good fans (when the arena is more than half-full, I'll change my opinion). We don't have good management.

What else is new?

We lost last night and I don't think it's meaningless at all. Yes, it's not a conference game and it doesn't matter in the standings, so in that sense it doesn't matter, but I think looking at the big picture of Liberty basketball is does matter. We've won 1 road game this year, none last year and this is a program we all want to be top notch. It doesn't matter if we've had trouble playing at Longwood before or not, we shouldn't lose to them.

From the looks of the responses on this thread...
...makes me think APATHY has set in. Neither the haters nor the drinkers are spewing the usual venom. Apathy is not a good thing. Apathy is...

I haven't seen any drinkers, wonder why?

because all of the "drinkers" are sparse posters as it is. Plus when they do post everybody goes crazy on them so I don't blame them.

Because all the drinkers are passed out after spiking the Kool-Aid.

Glug, glug!

Here is an opinion, and I could be wrong. I think that LU has the most talent in the conference but I don't think that LU has a good team. I don't think that LU has good chemistry nor good personalities. LU played about as good as they can at home against HPU and were successful but they are unable to maintain that intensity. I do think that they were let down after the CCU game just as HPU was after the WU game, then each team played Longwood. Always remember that you have LB and with him you are always in the game.

That's the most intelligent thing panfan has ever said, and I have to say, I agree.

Don't get carried away with the "intelligent" stuff, Jonboy. You can always go to the WU board to expand your intellect and basketball knowledge. Can anyone put that in "furniture speak"?

Paradox was on here 24/7 during our winning streak. Even LUreal came back around. It was just a joke anyways.

TylerBakersGonnaBGreat wrote:Well Unlike the rest of my "FlameFriends" (Minus Chris Lang) I was at the game before it started... and here are my notes... and I havent looked at the box score, nor do I want to.

1. LB got off to a really Slow Start and after that the shots he hit were good, but only enough to keep us in the game
2. To Agree With Mr. Lang, I will never blame a game on the officials, but they were AWFUL, it was like watching any game played at Duke, and I as well as a few others let them know how bad they were, Chris did you hear any of that?
3. Once again Tyler Baker Gets Crappy Min. in the scond half and we lose... notice a trend? haha
4. BJ is starting to look like the old BJ we all know and love
5. It just looked like we didnt care, It was like nothing i have ever seen we were just letting them score. Inside mostly they just went to the basket and werent contested.
6. It was a lot of rough play down low on our end and we could not get 1 call at all, it was really pathetic
7. Hubbard looked like the usual, not a threat to anyone but us
8. Holland played well
9. McLean and Porter were both shut down, due to fouls that werent called
10. Brew was a beast, and Smitty looked like he didnt know what to do
11. It is a tough place to play
12. I hope we Turn things around or VMI and Radford Will Smack us around
13. He wasnt at the game, or in any way involved, but FIRE KEVIN KEYS
14. And i dont remember who said it anymore, but the players goofing off on the bench and stuff is usually from the walk-ons and jones and they do it every game, thats just the way it is, Kyle Ohman was talking to their fans at halftime fueling there fire and thats not something you do when youre losing


Just hope we can Turn it around and get on the right track for our last 2 B.S. games and for the B.S. Tourny
So Who wants to Ride To Niagra? hahaha
I'm gunna have to agree with Andy on this one. I was there about an hour before game time and all I saw was a bunch of guys actin like this game was nothing. Now I know that was an hour before tip off but yeah.... you can't go into someone else's house and act like you automatically have the game in the bag. Trust me I know, I played a year of college ball myself.
Also, yes the refs were BAD, but you can't blame only them. Boxscore says we out scored them off the bench 21-10 (D-Brew gave us 16), out rebounded 36-31, normally that should be good enough to win a ball game. But what killed us was the freakin free-throws LIberty: 8-14.... Longwood 20-23. Just gos to show that tough games are won and lost on the free-throw line!

Our guys just need to get their swagger back after they gave one away to CCU.

Things I like (in addition to Dunton & the team)

1. The French Lick quote. (on my way to CA, diverted 100 miles or so, and with a clipping from a newspaper found
Larry The Legend's house) .... pictures available upon request.

2. All of Chris Lang's posts.... they are insightful, and he has credibility. When RD says the refs were bad, then RD is a
loser, but when CL says they were bad, there is no argument - The Man has spoken.

3. Our chances at winning one (or two) of those last two conference games.

4. The season. There have been heartbreaks & disappointments, but we are about half-way back from bottom,
and I see the top coming in view.

I just broke the tie with paradox. I have 298 posts - he's stuck on 297! The man needs to get his swagger back.
(Would it be a paradox if "he" were a woman?)
