          <description><![CDATA[
When Liberty football coach Danny Rocco began to discuss his team&#8217;s 44-27 victory over Glenville State Saturday night at Williams Stadium, he was careful to break the discussion into two distinct segments.

          <title>LU Notebook: Bolt will start at linebacker for Flames</title>

          <description><![CDATA[
With Nick Hursky out for Saturday&#8217;s game with Glenville State, Liberty&#8217;s already muddled linebacker situation has turned even messier.

Hursky had successful arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Monday. At practice Wednesday, Hursky looked to be walking fine and was wearing only a soft brace on the knee. He said last week that he hopes to return for the Sept. 13 game at Western Carolina, and Liberty coach Danny Rocco confirmed that timeline Tuesday.

When Brock Smith was a Liberty freshman in 2005, the quarterback was surrounded by several top-notch receivers, including Brandon Turner, Wynton Jackson and Lauren Williams.

          <description><![CDATA[
It started with a busted communication and ended with Liberty quarterback Brock Smith on his keister. But the damage from one blown offensive line call during the Flames&#8217; 49-10 win over North Greenville last Saturday didn&#8217;t end there.

Trying to compensate for a Crusader defender rushing unimpeded up the middle, Flames tailback Rashad Jennings broke his right pinkie finger. He&#8217;ll have surgery to repair the fracture today and will miss Saturday&#8217;s game against Glenville State at Williams Stadium. His status for the Sept. 13 at Western Carolina, LU&#8217;s first game against a Division I opponent, is uncertain, LU coach Danny Rocco said.

          <description><![CDATA[
Asa Chapman, Liberty&#8217;s nearly 400-pound freshman nose guard, certainly made his presence felt Saturday night in the Flames&#8217; 49-10 season-opening victory over North Greenville.

Though he only had two tackles, he was in the Crusaders offensive backfield often, pressuring NGU quarterback Richard Harb four times. Saturday&#8217;s showing was a sign of things to come for the talented Chapman, who came to Liberty after failing to qualify academically at Virginia and West Virginia.

He spent one season at Fork Union Military Academy, where he had 94 tackles and nine sacks.

Start fast.

That&#8217;s the message Danny Rocco has preached to his team all week. He said the words during Tuesday&#8217;s weekly press conference, and he ended Thursday&#8217;s Liberty practice with another not-so-subtle reminder to his team to get out of the blocks quickly.

For the first time in Liberty football history, the Flames have a player on the watch list for the Walter Payton Award, FCS football&#8217;s equivalent of the Heisman Trophy.

When Liberty safety Ryan Greiser passed Danny Rocco in the hallway in the football offices last week, the Flames head coach held up five fingers, signifying the coach&#8217;s hope that the senior would intercept five passes this season.

When Mike Brown walked out of an afternoon meeting at Liberty&#8217;s football operations center Tuesday, he was flanked by quarterbacks Brock Smith and Spencer Landis.

Though Landis, a junior, beat Brown out for the No. 2 quarterback position, Brown is still very much part of Liberty&#8217;s plans in 2008. But where?

          <description><![CDATA[
&#8220;Unfinished business.&#8221; Eventually, those words became the official slogan for the 2008 Liberty football season. In 2007, Liberty wanted to prove to the Big South that it had arrived as a respected football program. In 2008, the Flames want to prove the same fact to the rest of the nation.

          <description><![CDATA[
Liberty coach Danny Rocco has always valued Wes Cheek&#8217;s versatility. Cheek has spent two years as a backup tailback, but he&#8217;s also been one of the Flames&#8217; best coverage options on kickoffs and punts.

          <description><![CDATA[
Liberty will have more football games televised this season than anyone in the Big South Conference, and maybe more than any FCS team in the country.

That&#8217;s the net result of a deal that landed the Flames&#8217; seven home games on multiple television platforms, the biggest being FamilyNet, which is available over the air and on cable in many spots nationwide.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. &#8212; Both of Rashad Jennings&#8217; brothers &#8212; Butch and Bryan &#8212; made it to the NFL, so it&#8217;s natural that the thought of playing professional football has crept into Rashad&#8217;s mind over the summer. He ran a personal best in the 40-yard dash during Liberty&#8217;s pro timing day this past March. He&#8217;s even changed his number from 3 to 23 to conform to NFL standards.

DANVILLE &#8212; The moment the words &#8220;nice pitch&#8221; escaped Jim Toman&#8217;s mouth, a chain reaction started. Home-plate umpire Ted Miller didn&#8217;t like the tone in Toman&#8217;s voice and gave him a warning. Toman didn&#8217;t like the warning and stormed out of the Liberty dugout to confront Miller.

          <description><![CDATA[
Lately, Liberty&#8217;s batting practices have been filled with situational hitting drills. Two strikes? Keep fighting until you can find something you can put into play. That&#8217;s been a major issue of late for a Flames team that has made a habit out of stranding baserunners in clutch situations.

Danny Rocco took a moment Wednesday to reflect on his first spring as Liberty&#8217;s football coach.

The Flames had two quarterbacks on the roster, neither of whom would actually still man the position in the fall. The offensive line was a mess. Depth was non-existent.

NORFOLK &#8212; Liberty&#8217;s women&#8217;s basketball team might have been able to survive one season-ending knee injury late in the year. But two such injuries were too many to overcome.

As Old Dominion pounded away on the inside in an 82-62 first-round NCAA tournament victory over the Flames on Sunday night at the Constant Center, Liberty forwards Moriah Frazee and Rebecca Lightfoot sat on the bench in street clothes, wondering what could have been. Liberty&#8217;s coaching staff felt the same way.

          <description><![CDATA[
NORFOLK &#8212; Teams often embody their leaders, and it was clear from the start that Old Dominion would follow the lead set by its pint-sized point guard, 5-foot-4 Jazzmin Walters.

As Liberty&#8217;s Allyson Fasnacht tried to drive down the left sideline early in Sunday&#8217;s first-round NCAA tournament game at the Constant Convocation Center, Walters invaded her personal space, using her hips to force Fasnacht off track and slapping the basketball out of bounds. Fasnacht tried to drive again, with the same result. Walters didn&#8217;t force a turnover either time, but the continual pressure eventually wore on Liberty&#8217;s guards.

NORFOLK &#8212; Megan Frazee was sure she was fouled. She stood at the top of the key, fired a 3-pointer and fell backwards after getting hit by Old Dominion&#8217;s Megan Pym. No whistle. Play on.

Frazee got up and angrily glared at the officials, but it didn&#8217;t help. The moment was a microcosm of a frustrating game for the Big South&#8217;s player of the year. She finished with 19 points and eight rebounds in Liberty&#8217;s 82-62 loss to Old Dominion in the first round of the NCAA tournament Sunday night, but it didn&#8217;t come easy.

NORFOLK &#8212; Push and share.

That&#8217;s the mantra for Old Dominion, one that has helped the Monarchs return to their spot among the short list of the nation&#8217;s elite women&#8217;s basketball programs. Despite not having a go-to player or an All-American candidate on the roster, ODU enters today&#8217;s NCAA tournament game against Liberty with 29 victories and a No. 11 ranking in the latest Associated Press Top 25.

NORFOLK &#8212; They&#8217;re two of the most storied mid-major women&#8217;s basketball programs in the state of Virginia; two schools separated by four hours. 

Old Dominion has won every Colonial Athletic Association regular-season and tournament championship since joining the league 17 years ago. Liberty has dominated the Big South in the last decade, winning 11 of the last 12 conference tournament titles.

          <description><![CDATA[
ASHEVILLE, N.C. &#8212; No foul would be called. Megan Frazee probably knew that. She had watched teammate Allyson Fasnacht drive to the basket seconds earlier, desperately trying to draw the contact that would put her at the free-throw line. The refs kept their whistles tucked firmly in their lips.

          <description><![CDATA[
ASHEVILLE, N.C. &#8212; Megan Frazee was incredulous. She and teammate Egle Smigelskaite converged on a missed shot at the Justice Center, but High Point&#8217;s Amber Manuel came down with the ball. After considerable tugging and pulling from the two Flames forwards, the whistle blew, and Frazee was charged with her second foul five minutes into the game.

          <description><![CDATA[
Three Liberty seniors took turns passing the microphone at center court last Friday night at the Vines Center, thanking the 2,000-plus fans in attendance for being part of what has been a special season.

In a tradition-rich program, the 2007-08 season stood out for several reasons. Liberty tied a school record for regular-season victories (26), flirted with the Top 25 for much of the season and enters this weekend&#8217;s Big South tournament in Asheville, N.C., ranked in the top 35 in the ratings percentage index (RPI).

          <description><![CDATA[
ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Liberty forward Alex McLean, sitting at a podium addressing the media for the final time during his college career, didn't want to admit that the 2007-08 season was a success. To do that would downplay the sting of Thursday night's Big South tournament semifinal loss to UNC Asheville.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. - Fans around the Big South Conference went home unfulfilled during the second half of the league's schedule. When UNC Asheville came to town, it meant a chance to see the nation's tallest player log some minutes.

Well, at least Reggie Williams was healthy. VMI couldn't say that the last time it played Liberty. But as the Keydets boarded the bus in Lexington Tuesday for the quick trip to the Vines Center, they had other problems.
