SALISBURY, North Carolina -- It seemed like old times at Alumni Stadium Saturday afternoon - and not only because former Livingstone coach Robert Massey was visiting with the Shaw University football team.
It was because the late-season Blue Bears looked a lot like last season's Blue Bears in a disheartening 48-20 CIAA setback.
"There really are no hard feelings," said Massey, who coached LC through a couple of barren seasons in 2005 and 2006. "Yeah, I worked here and I got fired. But I still wanted to win every game. Just like today. We just wanted to win."
Shaw prevailed largely because it moved the ball like it had a police escort against Livingstone (2-5, 2-2). The guests amassed 601 total yards and scored seven touchdowns in the last three quarters,

Sophomore linebacker Kenneth White, who was in on 13 tackles, tried to voice the team's disappointment after Livingstone played its final home game.
