Let's hope we don't back into the playoffs. We don't need to embarrass ourselves further with a first-round playoff blowout.

So this is a team that actually cares? I'd hate to see how bad they would be if they didn't care at all.

Speak for yourself. I have plenty I want to say. This program is way worse than I wanted to admit. Our athletic department is clearly more dysfunctional than we realized and our schools president is going to work for a racist and is dragging my school's name in the mud while claiming to be progressing "conservative values"

In the 13 years I have been associated with Liberty this had been the absolutely worst.

But I'm sure you and PH have some kool aid sipping to do. So I'll let you two have at it :lol:

His daughter does I'm sure.

For the past 16 years, I've followed LU athletics closely. All 3 of our children graduated from LU and one still works there. I am as disappointed as the rest of you. It breaks my heart to see us lose games by a wide margin and lose our composure along the way. Having said this, I remain optimistic about the future. After all, this all happens under the sovereignty of God who has a plan for this university. Nobody said it would be easy and there wouldn't be challenges and discipline along the way. We can chose the attitude of Caleb who trusted in God and was not shaken by worldly circumstances or we can go the route of Caleb's associates who stood trembling at, what seemed to be, major obstacles. We may disagree about the methods and people involved but, it is still a great university with a foundation which cannot be destroyed. I see LU athletics thriving in the future. MBB, BB and SB are going to have very successful seasons (my prediction) and football will rebound.

Disappointing to have a great freshman QB, good receivers and running backs, excellent defensive backs .... and then two broken, injury riddle lines.

Reading the articles from the Myrtle Beach press about this last game in the Liberty-CCU rivalry makes me realize how naive I am about our players. I expect them to play hard and be competitive, but I also expect them to be gracious, win or lose, and display exemplary sportsmanship because that brings honor to Christ. If what the CCU coach and players say is true, we've been anything but honorable on the field of play against them, and I'm sure this public university scoffs at our "Training Champions for Christ" motto.

Sounds like Uncle Joe is still mad about that blocked field goal. Let it go, Joe.

Uh, that's how football works. Every coach has a different mental approach...some tell their players to do everything they can to get into their opponent's head. From talking trash to passive-aggressive whispers at the guy across from you...players are doing anything and everything to get under the opponent's skin. The fact that Joe, of all people, would complain about that is actually kind of hilarious.

Did Joe see more than half of his team went straight to the locker room after the game and didn't shake hands? He is talking about Sportsmanship? His Motto is BAM, Be A Man. A man shakes hands after the game! He is a joke. Money got him that job. I am eager to see how CCU performs starting next year when he doesn't have Bennett's recruits and has to recruit himself. Man doesn't even show up for Official visits with recruits and you have to set up an appointment to see him-players, staff, ANYONE! GIVE ME A BREAK!

Guys like him think we should be really nice, suck at football, and get out of his way. We ran into that all the time in hockey. I won't miss CCU's passive aggressive shots at Liberty, that's for sure. Enjoy your 5k crowds in the Sun Belt.

Dont worry moglia will get fired in a few years too. That program will crash and burn in the sunbelt. They have played the most cream puff schedules of any so called top 25 team over the last few years. All in front of an empty stadium too.

I think our football teams have gotten overhyped playing Coastal at times, but that statement is so true. If we celebrate at all, even in reasonable ways, many people flip out and think we are doing something horrible.
