This would have much easier the past few years when we had NFL prospects on both sides of the ball. But we don't have as many standouts this year that make you sit up and take notice.
Did Bob Sturm really break his nose on the rim while dunking? Who are the other famous/semi-famous alums besides Sturm and Christian band DCTalk?
Sturm was on campus after my time. I was in school with the DC Talk guys. TobyMac was a captain of our golf team at the time. Sam Ponder is probably the name that will stand out to most of you. NBC5's Pat Doney went to school at LU. Our highest profile player currently in the NFL is Giants RB Rashad Jennings. The only Cowboys from LU were James McKnight & Kelvin Edwards back in the '80s & '90s. Not exactly household names.
As for Liberty folks being high on our chances, we typically do well against G5 schools. JMU is a peer school so that certainly factors into the mindset to a certain degree. Most of our fans are located in the Eastern Time Zone so they don't see much of you guys. But there are a slew of Liberty sumni in Texas like me who have a ton of respect for Coach Morris and your program.
Yeah, Patrick Henry was from just a short drive from our campus. But Lynchburg is usually more connected historically to Thomas Jefferson. History oozes everyhere in Virginia.
As for the art in our suites, I couldn't tell you much. But I can tell you that stadium is exceptionally sweet for an FCS house. We have catch in hand and designs to expand once we finally get an FBS invitation. Almost all of our athletic facilities are AAC quality.
