Today was a very good win for the team. They played great.

You know what that got us? A share of the big south title. Now, where I come from when you have the same record as another team, but they beat you, it's called second place. Running around celebrating like you just won something seems kind of hollow and inappropriate honestly.

Celebrate the win today because it was a good one.

Celebrate the championship? Give me a break.
+1 Not to take anything away from the awesome game the guys played today.

It doesn't really mean anything without the auto-bid, that's why.

We ended the season very, very strong. Met my expectations I had before the season started. I am happy about that, but come on this whole sharing titles with a team that beat us is a bit ridiculous. If the shoe was on the other foot and we were tied with Coastal and we had won the head to head matchup and they were claiming a share of the title it would annoy the living crap out of me. Just sayin...

A "co-champion" is what the second place team claims.

Oh... And can someone be a fan of CBS and ESPN, or does that break the rules of fandom?

+1. And I would like to add that if this were only say the 1st or 2nd time this happened to us it would be one thing. Something that we either built towards or used as a stepping stone. There was a time when this would and should have been a big deal, but not now. I love what HCTG brings to the table and firmly believe this won't be an issue for us next year.

The signs on the stadium say Big South Champion, not co-champs. Perhaps we can get Queen to rewrite their song to include a version for us as the Co-champions?

I'd certainly expect so. if you really expected me to make a reference like that without that bit of context you SERIOUSLY dont know me very well

You know what sucks the most about these kinds posters? They register, say their piece, and then disappear forever. Maybe this guy will be different, but if you are going to come on here and call people out at least hang around to explain yourself or attempt to actually understand where people are coming from. If you come on this board dedicated to liberty athletics and somehow read into things so much that you really believe the majority of the board loves when we lose then I really question your intellect. I just don't get it.

Ok, enough of being serious. Now back to being a sarcastic "jerk"

I'm out!

CBS sucks...big bang theory/how I met your mother do not...I guess I must be confused. Should I change my mind and just watch every show on cbs since I like 2 shows on the network?

I am really glad you gave context, because I was going to lost a ton of sleep over it.

You're not and that's fine. I'd expect you to be one but I've been wrong before so nothing worth even sarcastically suggesting potentially losing sleep over

Since I am aware of the general premise of his response, obtuse would not be an applicable word based on its dictionary definition

yeahhh, I'm not sure he knows the dictionary definition but I am sure he will give it to us now to prove his point.

Classic!

I disagree. By not posting after you say he will post he is proving that he doesn't have to prove anything. But now, if he posts he's proving that he doesn't have to prove anything by proving it. Really a juicy conundrum

While I am glad for the Co-Championship and the way we finished the season, we should have refused to touch the "Big South Champions" trophy because it means something-next-to-nothing and it's not real. Just like most NHL teams that refuse to touch the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl or the Prince of Wales Trophy (Sid the Kid and the Pens being a rare exception)...and those teams actually MADE the playoffs! Take the photo op without touching the trophy. It's nice, but it's not what we set out to do at the beginning of the season.

it means a TON of something to those kids- esp the seniors.

fans have different outlooks.

the guys are there for 4, maybe 5 years- we watch for decades

big difference in perspective

allow the guys their moment

well done finish after a huge disappointment(s) early in the season.

they couldve folded but didnt. props for that.
