They'll have 25,000 regardless of how they do. App State fans are App State fans first, other schools second. They're not like a lot of Liberty grads who would rather go see their #1 school before coming to Liberty.

Coach Moore was in attendance at the Liberty game tonight ..... he skipped the App game ....

Apparently so was Jim Kelly.

I bet he's a Miami Hurricanes fan first ....

Then he had a bad evening.

Yea that one got ugly ..... Seminoles looked awesome.

APP State 18,991 yesterday. Liberty 18,334 yesterday. I'm still wondering what brought Jerry Moore to the Bill.

Oh, here's probably why ....

Sparky Woods, 58, returned to the FCS (I-AA) ranks where he produced a successful run as head coach of Appalachian State for five seasons from 1984 through 1988. Woods guided the Mountaineers to a 38-19-2 mark and two Southern Conference titles (1986, 1987) and two I-AA playoff appearances. Over the two-year span in '86-'87, Appalachian State posted a perfect 13-0 conference mark.

After six years I finally get 1000 posts... and my own Category. Thanks. If My avatar and username don't give it away, you can see that I am an "Alabama fan."

[VAGolf]

I'm not exactly sure why I've been labelled a "Florida fan" on here. Although, I find it humorous, I do feel like someone is attempting to categorize me as "Not a Liberty fan." Either way, despite the humor, I don't quite get it. I am a Liberty fan. I was at the game on Saturday, decked out in Liberty gear, and I was one of the few who stayed until the end.

I don't exclusively cheer for Florida, I just cheer for them first. At the end of the day, their success is more important to me than Liberty's success. However, I'm still on fire for Liberty athletics. I'm also sure that when my kids get older and going to a Liberty game, becomes a tradition for us, Liberty will be my number one team. But Liberty also has to earn that from me.

Liberty didn't just hand me a diploma, I had to work for it, I had to finish the job. In the same manner, I'm not just laying down my entire past as a Florida fan so that I can cheer for only Liberty. I'm quite passionate about both Florida and Liberty.

On the other hand, there are some people on here who are NOT real Liberty fans. However, those people are not who you think they are. These are the people who support Liberty, blindly. No matter what Liberty does, they support the school in everything. If the football team sucks, they'll be at every game and they won't complain one bit. These people are holding Liberty back and these people are not real Liberty fans.

I won't support every decision Liberty makes, why? Because I'm passionate about Liberty growing and living up to its potential. When they're wrong, I'm going to let them know it. At the same time, when Liberty makes great decisions, I'm going to let everyone else know it. I'm not simply passionate about the name, "Liberty."
Being passionate about merely a name is stupid and pointless.

The outrage that some feel on here about this is hilarious to me, and shows a complete lack of self-awareness. I'm not chortling audbibly, but deep down in a dark place, I'm chortling.

[adam42381]

I just noticed that I got a new label under my name: UNC Fan. Sounds accurate, though I'd have preferred Red Sox fan.

Ah, using petty spite to get all personal against people. Not exactly the best way to endear yourselves to the users, FlamesNation.

It's clearly their site now.

[jcmanson]

I thought it was funny.

If it's a problem it can be switched back.

[flamesfilmguy]

If I ever get a label it better be Original LUnatic or Equipment Manager. or Resident ATLien either would work.

[thepostman]

So unfair!! I want my own title!!!

[jcmanson]

If you want a new title we can take suggestions here - https://www.flamefans.com/forums/viewto ... 21&t=21211

No need to further derail this thread which started as a derailment of another thread or something like that.

[lynchburgwildcats]

just seeing what my label is. feel free to ignore this.

i can't say i'm surprised....look at the level of butthurt in here that "WHAAAAAA YOU DONT EXCLUSIVLY ROOT FOR LIBERTY!!???" once again, i assume we are dealing with college kids in here. that seems to be the level they are stuck on anyway.

i paid liberty for goods and services. they got my money, i got my paper. end of transaction. this imaginary link between me and the school where my allegiance is required from now until the end of time is cute, but ridiculous.

I have my other school I cheer for but as I've gotten older I've continued to be more a fan a Liberty, simply for what they stand for. I disagree with some of the political crap but no other school that's trying to do big time athletics has a better mission then "training champions for Christ". Liberty doesn't need big time athletics to accomplish its goal but I love that it is trying to use it for a bigger purpose. No other school has a bigger purpose in DI athletics.

Neither is Lib. I'm sure it's more exciting for you to cheer for LSUs old coach and a bunch or Florida/Texas kids but hey they at least they put Bama shirts on for a couple years.

Reality is Bama is no different then Texas LSU OSU or Neb.

This is what truth looks like.

I root for LU, but they're just part of the equation.

[RubberMallet]

well you didn't like sports before you came and now are in love with the only college team you've been exposed to. there isn't anything wrong with that really, but your attempt to put yourself on some fandom high ground is really quite funny.

[NotAJerry]

It's amazing the things people stuck in the bubble will be arrogant/condescending/distinctly unChristian about.
