Is it basketball season yet? God knows I love Blue Hose football, but this season has been the most painful thing to witness. I've never seen us struggle so badly. Before this season, the worst I've ever seen out of our guys was when were something like a 5-6 or 4-7 team in 2003-2004. Ugh. We'll get better, but I see this season ending without one win. I think that we're in a better position to improve with Coach Nichols than with Bentley, though. xprayx

The Blue Hose are redshirting their three best hoops players this season, correct? Don't wish for hoops too soon then.

GO LU!

The weather report for Saturday's Liberty at Gardner-Webb is calling for a sunny day with a high of 69. Should be a great day for a football game.

Go Runnin' Bulldogs!

Coastal 38
PC 13

Coastal actually builds some momentum off of the G-W win.....

LU 31
G-W 17

A late LU touchdown makes the margin seem wider...I expect both defenses to be stout early on....

Stony Brook 24
CSU 17

Stony Brook stays focused just enough to pull out the win and set up the showdown Nov. 21 with LU...

Army 34
VMI 13

Cadets show compassion on the Keydets by not running up the score....

elcid is taking the G-W sports info. department to the old woodshed on these photos....quality stuff, and the weather the day of the SB game was awful....

[EagleDawg]

ElCid83's photos are awesome and contribute in an important way to help showcase some GW game action. The number of players both at GW and opposing schools trying to tag these photos helps spread awareness of the program. Thanks ElCid83.

[knucklehead]

Make sure you get some great ones this Saturday of LU, especially Mike Brown and Aldrekis Allen.

[kirkblitz]

I find it funny i can watch ALL lib games in conway live on tv yet ccu is to stupid to get some cams and sell a feed to our local station. At least i get to see lib win.......

I find it funny I can watch ALL Lib. games in conway live on tv yet ccu is too stupid to get some cams and sell a feed to our local station. At least i get to see lib win.......

Or, you could fork over $5.95 per game to watch them on the Kallander Broadcasting Company.xlolx

[bulldogdad]

Yep, Elcid the photos are great! I appreciate your effort.

You won't see us on tv anymore this year. For some reason, our conference didn't put this week or next week on tv. In fact, there's not a single Big South Conference game televise for the rest of the year.

The man has talent no doubt about it. A little positivre PR is always good for a school and its athletics. Good luck to everyone this Saturdayxthumbsupx

Hey Bulldogdad. Here's a good one of #67 getting it done. See you Saturday. Should be there by 10.

why???? I thought yall sold them the whole season? Im pretty sure our Conf is the worst ran one in the nation at this point

[Sly Fox]

We only produce the home games and Kyle in his infinite brilliance chose to waste one of the Big South television package games on the VMI @ LU matchup last week when it would've been better produced by our crew and carried on MASN anyway.

Kyle is a mess and the league desperately needs somebody in charge who has a clue.

[elcid83]

I will. While they are being tackled behind the line by Marty Patterson [#39] and Mario Brown [#45]. xbeerchugx

Looks similar to SBU's final TD in the VMI game, a sweep around left end with 9 VMI defenders "running in place", chasing the ball carrier. Legs churning up the turf but their upper torsos not moving.:(..........BUT; VMI had mucho other opportunities to win that game.

[bucman1]

Liberty... there is your big south title... congrats and you're welcome

[ToTheLeft]

Liberty... there is your big south title... congrats and you're welcome

Haha, I guess I have a bit of crow to eat in terms of my opinions on CSU earlier this year. Coach Mills has that team going in the right direction, that's for sure. Congrats on the win.

[kdinva]

I, too, want to give CSU a slap on the back..........I guess playing Fla. and South Fla. won't such a bad idea.........$800K in the bank, and a chance for a 6-win season to boot. We got a whopping $160K from Army, and are staring at a confident ODU squad for this Saturday.

[SuperJon]

I'll say it again and continue saying it: The fact that Jay Mills can keep CSU competitive with their facilities the way they are is nothing short of a miracle. That man is a frickin offensive genius. How he is still at CSU I don't know but while he is, he'll always give them the chance to win.

[jcmanson]

Yeah props to CSU. If LU beats SBU next week then CSU and SBU would be tied for 2nd in the league. Very good showing by CSU the last 3-4 weeks and they are playing better than anyone in the league with the exception of LU.

[bucman1]

that lu game is gonna sting for while, although stats are for losers, we feel we shouldve won that game. but we didnt and hopefully yall win next week so we finish second and you guys represent us well in the play offs

VMI beats ODU next week

[Redwyn]

Is it true we started that OT drive in FG range? If so.....god help us, haha

[jcmanson]

Every team starts every OT possession at the opponents 25 yard line.

[elcid83]

It's more difficult to post after your team loses. For Knucklehead, who wanted some pics of Mike
Brown and Aldrekis Allen. The Mike Brown pics are easy. I'm not so sre about Mr. Allen - I don't recall seeing much of him yesterday. The next time Liberty comes to Boiling Springs though, you can leave Mr. Brown at home. He made the difference in the game yesterday.

Go Runnin' Bulldogs!

I would have liked for my Bulldogs to have been healthy yesterday. However, there's no doubt that Liberty has the best team in the Big South. I hope you get a playoff spot and get to show off.

Go Runnin' Bulldogs!

[jcmanson]

Great pics. The 2nd pic you posted of MB had Aldreakis Allen in it. He's #37. And in 2 years at least you'll get to witness up close and personal Mr. Brown's Walter Payton Award Winning Season.

[knucklehead]

AWESOME Shots Sir! I love them!

[SuperJon]

Fun facts about Liberty's game yesterday:

Every touchdown yesterday was scored by a freshman or sophomore.

Of the 173 rushing yards, 125 of them came from freshmen or sophomores.

Of the 337 receiving yards, 323 of them came from freshmen or sophomores.

Of the 656 all purpose yards, 480 were by guys that are coming back next year, 463 were by freshmen or sophomores.

The field goal kicker and punter were both sophomores.

Of the top ten tacklers, eight of them will be back next year.

[BJuice]

Finally, Coach Jay Mills and the Charleston Southern football team are getting some much needed and much deserved respect. That is great to see and hear. I said it at the beginning of the year that we had a good football team and would surprise some teams this year. We consistently have outperformed the pre-season predictions during Coach Mills' tenure at Charleston Southern.

Our game yesterday against Stony Brook was a great game to watch. Two very good teams just kept delivering big punches. The Stony Brook running back is very good and was pretty impressive. The passing game for Stony Brook wasn't too good. They had some drops. The Stony Brook kicking game was a liability for them also. I could tell they don't have much confidence in their kicker.

The Charleston Southern defense played a great game. Our coaching staff did a great job of in-game coaching and making adjustments to put our players in a position to make a play and get a win. Our players on both sides of the ball did a great job of accepting the coaching and competing as a team.

I LOVE THIS COACHING STAFF!!! It doesn't matter that people say they can't understand why Coach Mills is still at CSU. He is a great coach, a great man, and a great fit for our school. He understands and supports what our mission is. And, more importantly, this is HIS program. I want him to and hope he stays for many years. He is doing a great job and I want him to be here to accomplish some of the goals he has for our program. Watch out for us next season!!!

I hope our guys can stay focused this week and work and prepare hard. This three-game winning streak will be all for naught if we lose focus and lose to Coastal. We can't be too full of ourselves. CSU and Coastal will both enter next week with a winning season on the line. I know we will get Coastal's best punch. I know we are the better team, but we have to show it on Saturday. I can't wait!!!

GO CSU!!! GO BUCS!!! GO BLUE!!!

[SuperJon]

I have never and will never say a bad word about Jay Mills. That man is too good of a coach and anyone who knows anything knows that. I like what Coach Rocco said going into our game against Charleston Southern: Jay Mills will always, always, always have a game plan that will allow Charleston Southern to win a game. It comes down to whether or not the players are able to execute those plays successfully.

Unless CSU rolls over and dies, there's no way they don't beat Coastal.
