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

Yes, that’s precicely what I’m saying. Norte Dame, Tulsa, Baylor, SMU, Boston College, TCU, etc. don’t teach wackadoodle things like the universe was created 6,000 years ago. It has nothing to do with religion. If an outspoken atheist university taught things like that university presidents wouldn’t want them in their conferences either.

Why is that so hard to understand?

Back in "my day" (an indeterminate period of time) schools would relish the opportunity to prove their educational superiority by defeating the opponents on the field.

Ok, I'll bite. Can you name an example of something Cal teaches (the institution, not some stupid student organization) that is anywhere near as crazy as "the earth was created 6,000 years ago?"

Problem is you have no idea what a wacko prof might be teaching at Cal Berkley. Not until some niblet leaks out. It's a free for all. Parents have no idea what their kids will come out thinking.

I think Liberty's time frame is off by give or take a few billion years but their curriculum is easy to attack and pinpoint because of its consistency.

so, anyway, how about that scheduling?

Do not schedule Liberty until people forget they were ever FBS.

I'm sorry to burst bubbles here, but dinosaurs definitely existed 2000 years ago....

Concerning what will happen in the future of College Football....let's see some "outside the box" thinking.....I will now log out of the site and return to my bunker.....

Well Bear, if one is to believe that major changes are coming to college football played at the G5 level (count me in this group), then the question is will we be better-positioned to take maximum advantage of those changes as a member of the Sunbelt or as an independent? I honestly see those as the two most likely circumstances at this point.

I hope our AD is thinking outside the box versus our old way of thinking which was, we can't do that here.

As for the logic of, we shouldn't do something because others haven't tried it, well, that almost sounds un-American to me.

Our AD knows exactly what is going on in the world of College Football. That is why I am committed enough to greatly enhance my donations. Otherwise I wouldn't have let the door hit me in the ___ on the way out for good.

Powerful statement coming from you Bear. Lots of respect for your knowledge of our program and the college football landscape in general.

Aside from winning, any thoughts on your part as to how to best position ourselves for the coming changes?

The Alden Report nails it. We also still have people helping us with big connections.... I'll have more to say soon but not winning in football is killing us right now.

Wise words there by Bear. That is why we need to finish the season stronger than we started it.
