Yeah I heard that, that was a great story. I loved how Falwell pretty much hired him before Karcher was even gone.

[bucksweepjax]

Rocco: I didnt know the job was open
Dr. Falwell: It will be soon

That's a classic right there.

[Sly Fox]

We have the ball back and Zach is back in the game.

3rd Quarter

Considering where we were just a couple of years ago, its almost hard to fathom a season opening game against a DII school drawing nearly 15k. Its the 2nd most all-time, for crying out loud.

[backintheday]

Good to see the Flames taking care of business.

[bucksweepjax]

These are good days to be a Flame.

End of 3rd Quarter Stats:

[Sly Fox]

TC is moving the ball on the ground all of sudden early in the 4th quarter and they are threatening.

[Sly Fox]

10-yard TD pass from Russell to close the gap to 31-14 with 10:30 to go.

[Sly Fox]

Ian Childress picks off the pass and returns it back down to the 2-yard line.

[Sly Fox]

Wes Cheek runs in his 2nd TD of the night.

TC - 14
LU - 38
4th Quarter

A very satisfying night after that frustrating 1st quarter.

[bucksweepjax]

38 has a nice ring to it

[Sly Fox]

CCU just lost tonight at Delaware State. So it appears we will have to be the standard bearer for the Big South. I would expect to see us in most of the Top 25 polls this next week if some of these other upsets around the nation continue.

[Sly Fox]

Somebody pass onto GMTM that Buchholz threw a no-hitter tonight in his 2nd MLB start.

[whmatthews]

You can hear the kids already... "nah nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye"

[Sly Fox]

Tusculum - 14
Liberty - 38
Final

We get the season off to a winning start. Shippensburg should be even less of a test next week so we are right on track.

[whmatthews]

I'm just glad I don't have to hear Jerry say Shippensburg State anymore.
