Along the way, said poster also managed to disparage one of our moderators and most reputable sources, accusing that person of not even being a SBC fan.
All that, of course, results in another Liberty fan coming here to scold us for OUR behavior and lament LU’s victimization at the hands of those mean ol’ narcissistic new Sun Belt additions.
I mean, wow.
Scold you? How funny. Never said anything about being a victim of anyone. Especially your newbies. Don’t know where you got that. Stating the facts that many love to insult and state comments that they know are false is not crying victimization. It’s just stating the facts. As I said in my previous post, we’re use to such behavior. I wouldn’t expect anything less from guys like you. Do you think I was expecting anyone on this post to agree with what I said? I expected exactly the response that I’ve received. What I responded to had nothing to do with what the other Liberty poster said. It was a response to the holier than thou attitude of many of you.
So you weren’t scolding us, just rebuking our behavior and attitude.
And you weren’t claiming to be a victim, just stating how everyone loves to insult your school and makes up stuff about it.
Man, I’m glad we cleared that up. Good talk!
I love how you guys keep proving my point. I didn’t say everyone, I said that many love to insult and knowingly state false facts. There’s a big difference there. Changing what someone said is stating false facts. How about actually reading what I said instead of reading what you want to hear.
OK. I’ve edited my post. I did you one better and it doesn’t even say “many,” just an unspecified amount of “people.”
You may notice the point is not affected in the least.
I see that because of the bias and hate that I’ve spoken of, your response has gone off the rail. Have no idea what point you’re trying to make. Maybe it happens because we are a Christian school, and some classes included the teaching of our Christian belief. I know, how crazy is that? It would be like the U.S. Military Academy teaching military strategy or BYU teaching Mormonism. Why on earth would they do something like that? If you’re afraid that if you came to a sporting event against Liberty that we will have a group of people chase you down and try to convert you to Christianity. We’re just there to enjoy a sporting event, just like you. And those students who come to Liberty, come at their own free will. We don’t drag them here to force Christianity upon them.
Maybe it’s because of a pervert former school president who’s not even here anymore. I’m sure we are the only school who has had a moron in the administration. I can assure you that the people of Liberty are glad that he, his wife and their pool boy are gone. Maybe it’s because of our success with online learning. I assure you that we are not the only school that does this. Your school probably does it in some way. We’ve had success and yes, we have been richly blessed because we got into distant learning early in the game and we decided that if we were going to do it we were going to do it right. And as a result, it has benefited the school financially. Do we belong to the AAU, no, but our academics are on par or better than most others.
With that being said, I would like to ask you or anyone else who cares to answer a question. Let’s pretend that you are standing before an athletic conference, and you have to present to them why they should take your school over Liberty. You need to present what benefits, athletically, your school will bring to the conference. You have to prove that your school is a far greater asset athletically than Liberty.
Now I’ve already presented my case and I have told them why I think Liberty is the better choice. I’ve mentioned that Liberty’s football program is just one of five FBS teams in the country who have won a bowl game each of the last three seasons, joining Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky and Louisiana. The Lady Flames field hockey program led the country with 20 win and played in the national championship game. The men’s basketball team has qualified for three out of the last four NCAA Tournaments. They have won 104 games over the last for years and that figure ranks fourth best among all Division I schools in the nation. Both Liberty’s baseball and softball programs have advanced to the NCAA Regional play each of the last two years, while the track and field program had six All-Americans this year at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship. We ranked 75th in the Learfield Directors’ Cup. That rank would be 13th among non-Power Five Programs. I won’t even go into details about the golf or tennis teams.
Now, please prove why your school is such a far superior athletic program and that Liberty would in no way qualify to be in that conference. Or any conference for that matter. Because I’ve read countless times that NOBODY wound want Liberty and that the only way that CUSA took us was that they had no choice. Please answer my question with facts. No deflections with name calling or false statements, just the facts. I’ll be patiently waiting on your answer.
