LYNCHBURG, Va. -- Ralph Wilson, better known as "Chopper'' at the Ninth Street Parlor, just finished giving Liberty University football coach Hugh Freeze a shave and haircut. The 56-year-old barber wanted the coach to look especially good for what he insisted was the biggest day this town, best known as the home of television evangelist Jerry Falwell Sr., has seen in his lifetime.
Maybe ever.
"It's going to blow,'' Chopper said late Monday afternoon. "MAAA-an, it's going to blow!''
Chopper was talking about pro day at Liberty University, which, until Tuesday, barely drew a blip on the NFL radar.
