So instead of throwing our money around, we throw our political influence around. Im okay with both, but we arent begging yet.

Enter SuperJon with the ugly girl at prom illustration.

Man, for an illustration that I used once a few years ago, that thing's gotten quite a bit of play. Must've been a good one.

Somewhere in there, SJ, is a continuation of the analogy to the context of it being overused on prom night and getting "a lot of play."

ODU is preparing for its first season in FBS and Conference USA this season. Selig said that if Liberty were to join the Sun Belt, the Monarchs and Flames likely would play a home-and-home series in football.

[LUGrad2000]

LU-ODU could become a great rivalry. It would give us a real FBS game, and possibly eliminate the need to schedule money games to fill an FBS game. We could be more selective in who we would have to schedule. Win win.

I would love that and if the series keeps going like UF-FSU, Clemson-SC and UMD-WVU it would give me a nice excuse to go to Ocean City for the weekend during road game years.

[LUconn]

That's like 3 hours away. And in the fall.

Ocean City?

[bluedevilflame]

Guy on twitter with handle @dreadpiratehowl claiming an LU board has confirmed an invite has been accepted by us? Anybody know about that?

[VAGolf]

He said he read it on a Liberty Flames message board too.

I guess I could see how someone could read through here and maybe get confused. I can't figure out where else he would have heard that. Makes no sense.

[BJWilliams]

BYD or Lang...anybody know anything? I don't think anybody mentioned accepting an invite for sure on here

Ocean City?

My grandparents have a house down there, it's only about a 2 hour drive and would be a heck of a lot cheaper than getting a hotel in Norfolk.

Hahaha what ???

Reports from a Liberty Flames Message Board saying an official invitation to join the Sun Belt was accepted. #FunBelt #WelcomeToTheClub

[BJWilliams]

dunno where anybody said that

[thepostman]

we are breaking news on here without even knowing it, awesome! this is a new twist!

I say we hold out for the SEC. After all, we are too good for the Sun Belt, right guys?

[BearlyDoug]

I just tweeted him to set the record straight. As much of a fan of forums as I am, the last thing I would do is run with something seen on a forum... not as fact, anyway.

With a 160+ page thread, I see why anyone could be confused about any potential "Conflignment Insanity" actions going on... so I don't blame the guy for tweeting about it. To his credit, he did say he got it from here. Most people don't when running with "rumors".

ThePostman, hah! VERY nicely played.

ACC could work well, VPI and UVA could be our travel partners

[thepostman]

we are simply too good for the ACC

I think Steve explains how I would feel if this All Carolina Conference stuff was true.

Can someone describe what "travel partner" means?

[BJWilliams]

Basically two teams reasonably close to each other to minimize expenses for teams traveling to play them or vice versa (or something along those lines)

PAC-12 is easily the best example Arizona and Arizona St's MBB teams both get on a plane to LA together and one plays UCLA and the other plays USC then in the same trip they play the other team. And at the same time UCLA and USC's women's teams in Arizona playing Arizona and ASU.

[olldflame]

The term "travel partner" is somewhat misleading. It's really all about visiting teams being able to schedule 2 games in one trip when they are coming a long way. An example in the BSC would be CCU and CSU; what we affectionately refer to as the "beach trip". For basketball we would play them on either a Saturday/Monday or a Thursday/Saturday. LU's travel partners have been Radford and VMI. I've never heard of teams sharing a plane or bus to travel.

– Here is the bomb! – “If Liberty is invited to join the Sun Belt as the 12th member, how much revenue would be provided to other Sun Belt schools and conference from the Liberty TV Network?”

[Cider Jim]

Louisiana Gov. is the key note speaker this year at gradution.

Two of the 6 said "NO" votes, reside in his state.

If the WV governor could convince WVU to play Marshall in a 7-game series, maybe the LA governor could influence his two in-state schools to give LU a chance in the SB.

Is this completely about other sports rather than football?
