Yep. Ritchie McKay also a two time UVA assistant who stepped down as Liberty HC to return to Charlottesville before eventually making his way back to Lynchburg. Plus he employs the Pack Line.
And, of course, weāll be in the same event as UVA!

Wait, so thereās a precedent for Sanchez to return as HC?
Havenāt seen a bracket yet for the Jacksonville Classic but dates are apparently set for November 19-20, 2023.
Cannot believe this hasnāt been posted here yet!

Thatās perfect
We lost by 30 last time we played them. My real wish would be to get to play them when we have an actual good team, but since itās been before the current freshmen were born, I guess thereās no rational basis to a wish like that.
Barring an absolute miracle the only thing this game provides is an opportunity for people to smugly reinforce their views that we arenāt worth anything.
Hoping to just not get annihilated. This isnāt football, we donāt have the excuse of being new. We only have inept administrators to blame and the public doesnāt care about that.
This seems like a lose lose to me. I hate to be a pessimist, but that feels like the reality.
clt says we shouldnāt back down from anyone. letās go!

Of course Duke wants to play us this upcoming year. Ridiculous.
Well, either we want to play with the āBig Boysā or we donāt. Yep, timing not great but a top 20 NET foe - Duke #16 in 2022-23 - is something we should want on our schedule.
I want it on the schedule. Not sure I want to watch after halftime though
Hope no one loses a finger in the stands.
