We are a solid top 15 team, and JMU is a solid top 10 team. My simple statement was that #3 was overrated for them. We are both playoff quality teams but neither are championship caliber. IMO!

So you think Liberty sucks and Rocco should be fired? That's a bit premature.

Lol, I didn't twist anything, I was pointing out where your point led. If we got beat by a team that is overrated, what does it make us? But I am a big meanie, not letting the fans be fans again!

A couple of suggestions:
NEVER badmouth an opponent, especially one that just beat you. Finally, we are never as good as we think we are. Because we are such rabid fans, and we want our teams to succeed so badly, we generally tend to emphasize the positive a little too forcefully.
Hoping we improve every week, and take care of bidness in the BSC so we can be a real threat come playoff time, we are capable.

Dead on, we are Fans who are allowed to have opinions. Let's talk at the end of the season.
By the way, me badmouthing JMU as you say will not make them lose or hurt them in the polls. They will do whatever they do on their own.


And Dukedog, you've got the wrong guy. I'm a Rocco Guy!

Well he is paid $$$$$$. Top 15 is only mediocre considering the $$$ spent. Rooster is making a valid point - Rocco isn't paid to make the playoffs. He's paid to win the big game. It's why we vote for Daniel C. Rocco. What does the C stand for? Co-Champion.

Dear Rooster,

Shut up. Certain People on this board live to twist words and make things something they are not.

That is all,

Love Rooster.

PS. To anyone coming after this, please read what Rooster actually said and not what tweedle dee and tweedle dumb and Their Duke friend made it sound like I said.

Beej, when we need you to lighten the mood you're never here.

And personally JMU's defense is good enough to win the Nat'l 'ship. If they get a decent passing game to go along with their run game, they are title contenders.

Uh, for the record, I was kidding. I thought that was obvious, but maybe not...

Oh I see, now insults start coming.

I see nothing unfair about what I said, you're really overreacting, quite childishly to be honest.

It was just my opinion. I just wish folks would try to logically tell me why they feel differently instead of twisting what I say. That is all.

So, no more opinion from me just facts. Hey look it's raining outside.

I didn't twist what you said. Stop crying already, seriously!

I told you why logically. You said JMU looked overrated, that they're a top 10 team but not number 3. We lost. Along with our loss to RMU, we don't belong anywhere near them. If they're top 10, we're unranked/bottom of the poll. You can't have both.

Rooster, they won. That's a fact. I'm not twisting anything. If you don't want to actually discuss things, put me on ignore. Because you're truly being childish. The only thing I "twisted" was my Rocco joke earlier. The rest was all fact and MY OPINION, which you cry about me not letting you have, and I even made points as to why I didn't think your point was valid, but you'd rather call me tweedle dum and complain about me not being a true fan. It's a really really old act.

I didn't realize we were at AGS, he should have logged in as Head Linesman so I knew it was an official order.

Hey Hey1 In an effort to lighten the mood and since both teams suffered from the same error, I thought I would post what Matthews said about our roughing the punter penalty:
Lee Reynolds extra (bad) effort: Matthews said that backup tailback Lee Reynold's first half roughing the punter penalty was particularly frustrating because the Dukes didn't have a punt block called on the play.

"I said, ‘What are you doing child?'" Matthews said. "Not only did he go rush the punter when he wasn't supposed, he decided to go rough the guy too. We asked him not to do that again."

Stop getting so offended. People question logic all the time. If you say Liberty is great, then say the team that beat them is just average, you will probably need to explain your thinking.

Which you did.

Other people make jokes. Like opposing posters and that sch14 d-bag. Get used to it. They love you in a complicated way. Kind of like BJWilliams' facebook relationship status, which says "it's complicated." Of course, in his case, the woman he is "complicated with" is listed as "single." That's really a mess no one wants to be in. So, explain what you mean and don't let smartypants comments from the gallery get to you.

That is all,

Love Rooster.

PS. I would like to be known as tweedle-dee.
