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.Thanks for this.

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

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.

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.

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.
