Why not play for it? :D

I think being the 4th oldest public institution in the country trumps your "senior" membership, haha.

We are called "the Wood" a lot, I think when we're on TV it has come up as LWU every now and then, but Liberty is LIB sometimes also.

There should be a 460 Challenge Cup with all sports that both schools sponsor, winner gets the trophy and the right to use LU for a year, haha. Y'all better get working on rearranging those rocks up on the mountain! :P

I think that's part of the separation agreement. Sorta likeCleveland still kept The Browns after their team left! Longwood- The Cleveland Browns of the Big South

We're undefeated since 1839, do you really want to play that card? haha

It was funny some of Coastal people that were complaining about Longwood joining the conference were writing, "we're going to crush you in football!"... I just told them that I guarantee they will never beat us in football, haha

I don't ever remember Longwood being called "LC" when it was Longwood college. I like "The Wood."

What kind of Farmville propaganda is that???

Longwood's founding never came up in my History of Education class at UVa. I thought W&M, UNC, UVa, & Georgia were the 4 oldest. Heck, even Marshall (1837) is older than Longwood (1839).

Maybe I got that mixed up and its the 4th oldest in the state... my bad. W&M (1693), UVA (1819), VCU (1838), LDub (1839, another abbreviation for everyone to ponder).
