'Bama played Western Carolina......they won, but they beat a D II school.
Liberty plays D II football, right?
Appy State has won the last two D II championships.
That kind of crap really bugs me.

new flame wrote:What bugs me is people on this board, Flames fans billed as Intense -Loyal-Opinionated, who have avatars and signatures promoting other schools. Geez, talk about a slap in the face to Liberty! Even moreso than a non-sports fan who gets our FCS/D-I AA status screwed up. I didn't go to LU, didn't grow up an LU fan, my dad nor anybody in my family went to LU, but when I'm on here, I'm a freakin FlameFan, not a (insert school name here) fan. It's a bad statement to outsiders who stop by.AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like you all, but I just don't get it.
Sorry if that's bein cranky...I'm starving, waiting for my lunch.

It's a bad statement to outsiders who stop by.how about supposedly intense, loyal, and opinionated fans who give up on their LU football team early in the third qurater when we're only down by 11? Don't you think that's terrible, medic???

It's a bad statement to outsiders who stop by.I could see that, if that were just a problem with just LU. However, I had friends, rabid, blue-blood Carolina fans, that went to NC State to get their degree. I had die-hard State fans go to UNC-Wilmington, UNC-Charlotte, & UNC-Asheville. VT fans go to UVA, VCU, & Richmond. Some of them are fans of both teams, some only one. Some switched their loyalties to their new school, some kept to the school they cheered for since they were kids.

I am a fan of Liberty Athletics. I played football here & I do some work for the athletic department. I am also a fan of UNC. Because that's where I'm from, that's what I grew up on. I am passionate about both teams.

We played like absolute horse dung for a long stretch in that game.But you never stop believing! I know we played like crap, but you can't just give-up on their chances, especially when the difference is only 11 in the third quarter. I can understand admitting defeat when it is certain, but I was a little dismayed by what I read during the game Saturday night. Just keep believing...
