Ugh, I mean just...UGH!!!

Biggest loss by 10.

I will be able to judge them better after the Sun Belt portion of their schedule.

A loss is a loss. But you probably one of the ones that are happy we led A&M at the half.

If can't judge them after playing 50% of their games, then I don't know what to tell you.

Why do people want to bring their identity politics into sports? Oh, because the left finds it fashionable to discriminate on college campuses regardless of federal dollars.

Look, I don't believe that dinosaurs existed 2,000 years ago anymore than I believe a male can transition and become female. Neither can be proven scientifically. Both are irrelevant when deciding which programs make your conference more financially stable. It's about money, not about belief systems or ideology for that matter. It is about financial stability!

I don't want to play another FBS start up that's my beef with scheduling them, but maybe the presidents do not want to be associated with a school that is known as a diploma mill, whose founder blamed 9/11 on gay people and several other outlandish claims. Liberty is a disaster waiting to happen, they hire Baylor's EX AD who was forced to resign from his last job because he was involved in a conspiracy to cover up rape by his players. You keep saying it should only be about sports, but these are first and foremost academic institutions, and rightly or wrongly the other schools in your athletics conference create associations between those schools and your own in the minds of the public, and no one in their right minds wants to have their school's reputation tied to that of Liberty's, and/or risk alumni refusing to donate or otherwise turn their backs because they don't approve of what Liberty does.

I was happy "at the half."

I was not happy UL played an injured quarterback for the second half.

Not a bad response 55.

Robe prays to Jerry Falwell?

It’s not that Liberty is a Christian University. There are tons of respected Christian universities out there. It’s the fact that this particular Christian University teaches fundamentalist wackadoodle things.

Well, they teach wacko liberal ideals at west coast colleges like Cal Berkeley and most would jump at the chance to be in a conference with them. I would personally prefer conservative values. But we are talking athletics. It shouldn't matter any more than religious beliefs taught by Baylor or Notre Dame

Dead on Houston.

Cal, Baylor and Notre Dame are 3 very highly ranked institutions of learning with over a hundred years of good athletics (maybe not so much Baylor), Liberty is not. They are not worth the risk. Period.

Nunez plays second half, we win that game.

Nunez starts for ULM, we win that game.

Nunez stays healthy the whole season, we go Bowling.

What risk?

Being bullied with political correctness by a bunch of liberal fascists?

Bring it.

I loved what JD was doing before his injury but it really hard to argue with this. We had A&M right where we wanted them before that pick. Their fans would have been heading home had we scored there.

[CajunJack55]

What risk?

If you don't see this risk involved with Liberty, then I can't help you.

I noticed you ignored the fact that Notre Dame has a scheduling agreement with the ACC because it does not fit your narrative. Why would the most successful independent in the history of college football, with almost unlimited resources, need to have an agreement with the ACC to schedule football games?

Let me preface this by saying, I am not on the "going independent" bandwagon.

But to clarify what's quoted here...I don't think Notre Dame needed the ACC as an aid in scheduling football games. The ACC wanted Notre Dame to play 5 of their teams each year as part of the deal letting them in the conference for all of the other sports.

Notre Dame has never, and probably will never, have any trouble scheduling football games.

UL, as an independent, on the other hand...
