On Tuesday night, I joined the Fast Lane with Ed Lane to discuss Liberty football’s loss to Missouri State, as well as look ahead to Saturday’s matchup with FIU. We also discussed the Flames’ start to the men’s basketball season and the other successful sports seasons in the fall.

Our conversation centered around:

  • Richie Longshots and his better half welcoming a baby girl!
  • How deflating was the 21-17 loss to Missouri State?
  • How do the Flames improve on the margins when it keeps eluding them?
  • Aside from football struggles, how strong are Liberty Flames athletics right now?
  • How much can Brett Decker’s emergence alleviate potential offensive slumps?
  • Does Sparky need a toy fire extinguisher to pretend spray when the Flames get hot from 3 point range?
  • What does it say about what Ritchie McKay has built that we are laughing about Zach Cleveland being CUSA player of the week instead of one of the many other options?
  • Are field hockey and women’s soccer both legitimate threats to make deep runs in their respective NCAA tournaments?
