According to this cheerleader, the cheerleaders aren't coming.

[CSU BUCS]

I may have been wrong, I just heard it about 45 min. ago when I was getting ticket info. Ask her again tomorrow and let me know. I think everything was just coming down. But seriously let me know because I hate spreading false info.

[A.G.]

According to this cheerleader, the cheerleaders aren't coming.

Da**! What kind of baptist girls are those?? Kind of cozy, aren't they,

[SuperJon]

There are some niiiiicccceeeee Baptist girls at Chuck South.

There are some niiiiicccceeeee Baptist girls at Chuck South.

Who wants nice? I want GOOD.

[SuperJon]

I didn't say nice. I said niiiiicccceeeee. There's a big difference there.

[LU'sbestmanager]

wait.. their baptist also?

[SuperJon]

Technically yes. Not nearly as strict as LU.

[WinthropEagleFan]

wait.. their baptist also?

They were called Baptist College up until 1990.

[CSU BUCS]

Technically yes. Not nearly as strict as LU.

We can pretty much do what we want when we want how we want as long as we don’t drink alcohol while doing it. No curfews, dress codes or mandatory church (have to attend 24 Convos to graduate, doesn’t matter when you get them)
They let students live their lives and learn to make decisions and grow into responsible adults.

I hear Liberty isn’t as strict as it use to be. Liberty was never even close to as strict as Bob Jones, that place is wacked. My sister went there and she thinks Liberty is a liberal school with liberal views!!!!!!!!!!!

[SuperJon]

Liberty will be that way with the no curfew/dress code soon enough. Jerry knows it isn't that big of a deal anymore and to get the amount of kids he want it has to change. Convo and the moral issues will never change though, and that's a good thing, the moral issues at least.

[LU'sbestmanager]

Liberty will be that way with the no curfew/dress code soon enough.

i hope that means next year

[CSU BUCS]

How many convos do you guys have to go to?

CSU's Founding Principles



Matthew 28:19-20

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen"

Mission: Promoting Academic Excellence in a Christian Environment

Vision. To achieve regional distinction as an institution of higher learning with its primary emphasis on excellence in teaching, dedicated to the discovery and enrichment of talent within a broad spectrum of capable university students, endowing them with a Christian vision of life and equipping them for significant leadership and service.


BIBLICAL CORE VALUES: WHAT WE BELIEVE ABOUT . . .

Scripture. II Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness." The Bible is the inerrant and infallible record of God's revelation to humanity, and it is the only sufficient source of appeal on matters relating to the Christian faith.

God. Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." John 1:3 "All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made." There is one and only one living and true God. The historical account of Genesis decrees that He is the personal and direct Creator of all that exists, including the first human beings Adam and Eve. To Him we owe the highest love, reverence, and obedience.

Jesus Christ. John 14:6 "Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." God made provision through Christ for the redemption of sinful humanity by His substitutionary atonement on the cross, and He alone is sufficient as Savior.

Salvation. John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Salvation involves God's gracious redemption of individuals and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior by repentance and faith.

Life of the Believer. Romans 12:2 "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." Christians are to be consistent with Scripture in their character and conduct.

Evangelism and Missions. Acts 1:8 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth." It is the privilege and duty of every Christian to share the Gospel of Christ personally and by all other methods in harmony with the Gospel.

On campus students must go to convo every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

[CSU BUCS]

On campus students must go to convo every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

WOW

CSU has two per month. You don't have to go to everyone as long as you have 24 when you graduate.

[SuperJon]

Let me state once again that I have never, ever, been to convo.

[PeterParker]

Looks like CSU is a half-step ahead of LU on the Campus Atmosphere and the Gridiron to date (hopefully LU can set CSU back a step on Saturday). Due to the similarities, CSU is in direct competition for the athlete profile as LU, so it would seem to follow that LU should keep tabs on CSU developments so as to not lose out on potential good recruits.

If LU fully intends the 25K on campus, the convo policy will likely need amending, unless they plan to do the videoconferencing between two locations (highly impersonal and kind of defeats the purpose.) Perhaps they should adopt a percentage policy towards compulsory attendance that is weighted more for freshman attendance and progressively less for each successive year. (The idea of convo is noble, and can be quite informative when they actually adhere to the definition for convo laid down in the handbook: namely consistently drawing marquee speakers from across the spectrum of occupations. While they do draw some, most tend to be Pastors or Evangelists which is decidedly one-dimensional.)


Year 1 -- 90% (Give the freshman a few for breathing room)

Year 2 -- 75%

Year 3 -- 65%

Year 4 -- 50%

Or something along that lines.

[Sly Fox]

...Looks like CSU is a half-step ahead of LU on the Campus Atmosphere and the Gridiron to date...

That's strictly a matter of opinion and one I wouldn't agree with on either count.

[SuperJon]

I would on the atmosphere. It feels like an actual college there.

[PeterParker]

Well, regardless of the quality of the competition that some have called into question, they did win the Big South last year and are riding a pretty subastantial win streak. As for atmosphere, I was referring to the campus facilities layout and the authoritative as opposed to authoritarian student life aspect of having a framework of some sort but allowing the students room to be students.

Just saying, LU should keep up to date on what it's competition is doing on the gridiron and off.

[LU'sbestmanager]

i agree.

[LUconn]

welp, looks like I'll have to torch it.

Magic keeps on going
CSU Notes
Tuesday, November 07, 2006

By David Shelton


Charleston Southern's magical season got even better Saturday, when it defeated Gardner-Webb, 28-14, in its final home game of the regular season.

Quarterback Collin Drafts continues to succeed, as the 6-3, 190-pound senior from Beaufort topped the 9,000 yard passing mark for his career.

Drafts threw for 406 yards and four touchdowns in the win, surpassing the 2,000-yard mark for the third consecutive season.

Drafts moved up to fourth nationally among all Division I-AA quarterbacks in passing efficiency (166.2) and ranks fourth this week in total offense.

Drafts has completed 72.7 percent of his passes for 2,287 yards, needing only 14 completions to reach the 200 mark for the season.

CSU's offense ranks 20th nationally after this week at 373.7 yards per game. The Bucs are 18th in scoring offense, averaging 29.22 points per game.

Drafts' favorite target, junior receiver Maurice Price, continues to lead the nation in receptions per game, averaging 9.3 receptions per game.

Price ranks sixth nationally in receiving yards per game, averaging 95.89 yards per game. Price has 84 receptions this season, a Big South Conference single-season record.

Defense

CSU also continues to have its best season in years on the defensive side of the ball. The Buccaneers rank 13th nationally in scoring defense and 50th in total defense. CSU is 17th against the run, allowing 108 yards rushing per game.

Junior linebacker Jada Ross is tops in the Big South and fourth nationally in tackles, averaging 12.11 tackles per game. CSU's defense ranks 27th nationally in both sacks and tackles for loss, leading the Big South in both categories.

Coming up

Charleston Southern's impressive numbers will get a major test over the final two weeks of the season and starting Saturday when the Buccaneers visit Liberty.

Liberty boasts the No. 1 rushing offense in the Big South, a sure battle for CSU's top-ranked rush defense.

Liberty also leads the Big South in scoring defense and total defense and could pose some problems for CSU's potent offense.

"We are fully aware of what lies ahead for us over the next two weeks," CSU head coach Jay Mills said after Saturday's win over Gardner-Webb.

"Fortunately we are playing pretty well right now but I still don't think we have played our best football. I continue to tell our players that our best is yet to come."

Ranked

Charleston Southern moved up to No. 24 in the latest Division I-AA poll. Furman is 10th and Coastal Carolina is 16th.

SJ, i love ya brother, but what should an "actual college" feel like?? liberty feels like a college, you have plenty of amenities, much more than i had, the rules are less strict. and you live off campus which provides you even more freedom. what kills me is how many students complain about LU....(and im not saying you do SJ) then why did they come here?? they knew what they were getting themselves into. that is like going to the naval academy and thinking you are not going to have to get up at 5am and have 20 minutes to eat at each meal. LU will lighten up the rules to get more students, but dropping convo will not happen. many schools were founded under a denomination and have gone away from the rules and it has effected the schools. LU, by keeping convo and the other things of spititual nature keeps it distinctive. by no means am i trashing CSU, because it is a fine school, but do you think they changed the name from baptist college to CSU for a reason??. yes indeed the bucs are ahead of us as far as wins on the field right now. we could choose to go their route and play a soft schedule and have success, but we are choosing a different path. facilities??? no comparison....LU easliy wins. i am glad CSU is doing well...it makes the big south look better. im just want a great game saturday.
