Do they really send out memos say to not read this site? I would love to read that.

I never got one that said don't read. when i was there it was more like "don't post on this site" Memos. I think pretty much everyone knew we were all going to read it regardless.

[thepostman]

Yeah, I mean I actually can understand them not wanting employees posting on here at times. People will take that info and run with it like it came directly from the University, but not read flamefans at all?? Please..

This. Everyone reads it and brings it up in the office. You just won't see many of them posting here.

[ATrain]

On one hand they send out memo's saying DON'T read it. Then they read it. And bring it up, while claiming they haven't read it.
Sorta like porn, isn't that what you said PA

There are articles on porn sites????? Or are you still subscribing to Playboy and hiding the magazines from your wife????

I'm new here, but I've been gathering information about all this for quite a while now, lurking both here and on CSNbbs. I find it amusing that some people around the 'Net actually cite Liberty's relatively lukewarm football performance as the primary reason to not invite us to the Sun Belt, a conference that deemed Georgia State worthy of FBS. Don't get me wrong, nothing against Georgia State at all; several people have said they will vote to invite us, plus they have us scheduled for 2015 regardless, so I'm practically a Panthers fan at this point. Georgia State deserves their chance, and so does Liberty. I just think it's telling that they'll give Georgia State the benefit of the doubt with a brand-new program, but then say Liberty needs to "prove itself" at the FCS level.

Anyway, that's my two cents on that. I hope Pres. Falwell's "almost-flight" to New Orleans is a sign of good news to come.

Internet poster will citi any thing and every thing when they truely want something else. They do not look into all the facts like Liberty being in a conference that did not receive and auto bid to the FCS playoffs.

Finally, someone with reason! It's been almost a comedy of errors for some of the reasons we have missed out.

Really, I don't think it would matter if they did. As you said, it's ultimately just an excuse, which was my point as well. I think if it wasn't "you haven't made it to the playoffs," it would be "you've only made it to the playoffs X times." I just think it's funny that some still bother to cite that stuff, when others are content to just say the truth: that they just don't believe a private, Christian, conservative school has any business joining the Sun Belt or the FBS.

Thankfully, there are at least some Sun Belt fans like you who will readily accept us, and I really believe that number will grow rapidly if people actually get to see us in action at the FBS level.

Finally, someone with reason! It's been almost a comedy of errors for some of the reasons we have missed out.

Indeed

BCX,
I feel like Liberty Fans just have to look at it in the context that Liberty University is located inside a sinful world and Satan will do everything in his power to keep Liberty from spreading the Word of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I look at it this way, if it is in the Lords will for Liberty to move to the Sun Belt, every message poster can shout at the top of there lungs but it will not change the Lords will.

The one word that I would like to say to all Liberty fans is what every the out come is for Liberty football give the Lord the praise and glory.

yeah but its always easier to praise God when he does what WE want

Guys according to my source a FBS team is getting the invite. EKU officials said last night at the Maroon and White game that the Sun Belt contacted them to cancel a May 5th meeting at EKU because they were no longer looking at FCS teams.

@BShroats5 Not sure. But we're not moving for now. There are no slots available for FCS schools to move, even if we wanted to.

This means the Sunbelt is standing firm at 11.

We may be about to find out just whether we can all do that...

The people over on CSNbbs are starting to hear that the Sun Belt has closed the door to FCS move-ups. The question is, is that because they've decided to add us or another school and have no more slots, or have they decided to just invite UMass and call it a day? Or, as you suggest, stick with 11 until JMU changes their mind? (Honestly, these people don't understand "no"...)

.....or slot #12 has already been filled.

That's my hope although I will say I am having less confidence every day this goes on

[BCXtreme]

We should note that the EKU Pres tweet was in response to @BShroats5 asking

when do you see the next opportunity to move into FBS ranks if the Sun Belt does expand with a different school?

[Liberty22]

Well according to BShroats5 EKU prez says Sun Belt does not want FCS School

Bret Shroats ‏@BShroats5 · 42s
@FlameFans Last night during the Maroon/White football game. Our prez Benson had said Sun Belt is looking for a FBS team to fill its void.

[Rooster Cogburn]

It amazes me how quickly folks jump on stuff and go all emotional.


An, NO, I do not have any inside info. I just choose not to be swayed with every tweet or speculative statement.

[Liberty22]

I keep going back to the rumors that we were merely working on how LFSN will fit into the Belt hoping that those were correct and all the rest is just other fans hoping they are in and not us.

[Rooster Cogburn]

And read the tweets in context. They were talking about the next step for EKU if the sunbelt goes with someone else. Since most feel EKU is not ready for the SBC now, they are not even a candidate. Who knows, but I wouldn't take every little tweet from whoever as gospel.
