In the midst of this great win today I was shocked at how many times me, my friends, and those around me were told to STOP cheering. Of course, we were giving the CSU players a hard time...it's what we do. We didn't cross any lines, or even use the word "suck" which we were asked not to do by the AD. We get to the stadium early, harass before kick off, and throughout the game we choose a few "lucky" players to pick on. Today I was astonished at the LU people around us who got mad that we were doing this, and even told us on several occasions to stop. Somehow...and I haven't quite figured it out yet, Christians aren't allowed to joke and tease others in a spirit of fun and games (like a college football game) because that is not "right". We even had one of our super spiritual band members tell us today that the difference between them and us is that they "glorify God with their music and we don't." Now the the AD and Football team have turned the corner, in order for us to take this next step the fans are going to have to stop pussyfooting (as Jerry would say) around and start making some noise....fair-weather fans really tick me off. We were told by a certain "band director" that we had crossed the line and so we asked to just explain to us how we crossed the line, and he couldn't do it...i guess just growing up around REAL football at Florida State made me to calice to this clown show we call a fan base, I mean come on...some of these people need to experience life outside the "baptist bubble".
On another note, the coach for CSU is a class act. Not only did he talk to us before the game, but during the game he was cordial as well. He even sent a note over via one of his assistants which said: "-LU fans- Best wishes to a great group of kids - coach phil. 4:13
Not only that, but when I was trying to trade a tshirt at the end of the game, he asked me to walk with him back to the bus and we had a great talk the way there....I am impressed with guys who are able to keep their cool in tough games, and after tough losses. This guy will be a great coach for CCU because he has character, and his character will help build the program. Best of luck CSU!
On a final note, I wish to goodness that they would have let us tear the goal posts down. I know they are so expensive to replace, but how amazing of a picture would that have been, from 1-10 to 5-5(hopefully 6-5) in only a year, and going into next season with tremendous support of the student body. I haven't ever been to a Liberty game like the one we played today. We executed, worked hard every down, and finally decided to hit. I am so proud to be a part of this, and I can't wait to see what next year and the future hold.
God Bless - Go Flames!
