Irrelevant University:
No football
< 5,000 students
basketball "stadium" capacity 1,800

Charleston Southern is more relevant:
football
< 5,000 students
basketball "stadium" capacity 900

Man, it must really burn to lose to such an irrelevant university then... The next couple of years are going to be pretty rough for you.

Also FYI, we play basketball indoors at Longwood so I'm not sure what "stadium" you are talking about.

I don't get the hate? Liberty never came from humble beginnings?

Since officially becoming D1 Longwood is 15-12-4 against Liberty, in team sports. It must be rough on you losing so often to such an inferior institution.

It does burn to lose to Longwood actually. I hate when we lose to Longwood in anything and don't think it should happen in any sport on a regular basis.

ps. I don't really get why people are hating on Longwood so much. The big south is the right conference for a school like Longwood.

I mean, we already have Radford. I think Longwood overall is a better program, and comparable to much of the rest of the conference.

You're right, Longwood fits in very well with Radford, PC, CSU, HPU, UNCA, Campbell, GW.

No, I'm hung up on my alma mater and what it can do to improve itself. Joining the BSC is tremendously beneficial move for the school I love. I'm sorry I take offense when someone ignorantly calls my school "irrelevant" b/c they don't have a football program and a 10,000 seat arena. We will be very relevant in the Big South and the school could not be on a better trajectory right now. Longwood has totally transformed from what it was academically, athletically, and campus-wise from what it was 10 years ago.

If someone was making just as ignorant comments about my grad school alma mater, I'd stand up an react the exact same way. A university is more than just a football program or a basketball arena. As a tremendously proud Liberty alumni, you should know that more than anyone.

And I’m sorry I take offense when someone ignorantly calls my school not “the real LU” and then pretends to be a Liberty fan. Longwood's not on Liberty's level and never will be.

It was a joke on the Winthrop message board.

Please explain to me how I "pretend" to be a Liberty fan? I have a graduates degree FROM LIBERTY. I support Liberty fully in football (and track b/c of my sister being a student-athlete). For everything else Longwood is my #1 allegiance. I spent FOUR years there in contrast to a single year.

I offered you this before and I'll do it again. I'll meet you anywhere in Richmond or you can swing by my house (I live right near UofR). You can have all my Liberty football gear, shirts, hats, whatever... I obviously haven't hit your criteria for being a Liberty football fan, so I'm really not worthy. I'd rather you have the gear since I'm merely pretending b/c I get bored on Saturdays in the fall. I apologize for incorporating you as a pawn in this elaborate charade that I've been living.

This is just life...new kids at school get picked on...not sure theres any hate or anything....at least not from my point of view. I mean seriously, we play in high school gyms already....I just think most peoples take on you guys joining is Longwoon has everything to gain from this but in the foreseeable future the BSC has nothing....other than filling in for a couple of teams that are about to bolt.

I can see how most guys would be jealous of Long Wood just as most women would be hating on Blue Hoe's!

You seem to be here to give backhanded compliments to our school and programs, as well as to explain to us your expertise and involvement in some Longwood athletic committee (wow). Sorry that some of us aren't as impressed as we were supposed to be.
That was my sole purpose of joining here over a year ago, to bamboozle and impress you for the day Longwood joined the BSC.

Furthermore, you were saying the EXACT SAME THINGS about me after one my first posts a year ago b/c of where I thought Asa would go in the draft: http://www.flamefans.com/forums/viewtop ... =2&t=17476

How's that looking now? You just have trouble handling an objective voice.

Lay off on RVA guys. I get it that we like to have little jabs and jests here and there but you guys are going a bit too far.

Let's keep this fun for everyone... while being respectful at the same time.

RVA, for the love of God, if you are going to visit our message board PLEASE use correct grammar:

1. You have a graduate degree, not a "graduates degree".
2. You are an alumnus (singular) not an "alumni" (plural).
3. "Criteria" is plural; criterion is singular.
:nono

Really we're down to grammar now? Weak guys...weak

And why is "criteria" wrong? Where did I specify how many standards JC had? Message boards are so much fun when someone decides to be the grammar police. Thanks Jim, I'll be sure to point out every grammatical error you or anyone else makes.

You are a jerk (singular) not a "jerks" (plural)

Well Jim is doing a bang up job filling in!

You spelled "though" wrong (its not "tho", I looked it up). You also failed to use a period. :nono

At first I thought "oh this will be fun to watch him go through and correct everyone's grammar," but then I remembered you were from Longwood and prob need a nap after that last one

Kind of a counterproductive statement when I also have a degree from Liberty. Do you really want to go through both school's academic resumes?
