No, I understand your opinion well:  you object to Liberty on academic grounds; the rest of us object on athletic grounds.

 

And...some of us do not object on either grounds.  IT IS A FOOTBALL GAME PEOPLE.  Stop trying to make it out to be more than it is in fact...a football game.

Plus...why we still talking about this?  It is a done deal. Game on...come or don't come.  This is just another "unique" excuse that so-called UNT fans can come up with for not supporting THEIR team and Their University.

Also, let me make this perfectly clear...I am in no way saying GTWT won't be coming to the game. He has not indicated one way or the other in his posts as far as I recall.  And, he is welcome to his opinions on the matter.  I just personally think this is a prime example of misplaced indignation over absolutely zero.  But, then that is my opinion.

Playing Liberty in football would be like the USA playing North Korea in the Olympics.  We shouldn't tarnish our image as a legitimate institution of higher education & we shouldn't lend credence

I just don't understand the angst over playing Liberty based on its founder and philosophy. Based on it being perceived by some as a "lesser" athletic program OK, but the other...I don't get it. It is

Athletics is UNT's window to the world.  I don't want to turn on ESPN and see "UNT 24 Liberty 21".  I'd much rather see "UNT 38 Army 32".  I won't be.  In fact I'm rethinking my relation

We're talking about our athletic department and how it would show we are going nowhere if we are in a league that continues to take start up and FCS call ups.

I could care less whether the Big Bang or Creation Theories are ever proven.  I'm only going to be alive another 30 or so years, God willing, because I do believe in God. 

But...
...in the realm of athletics, it doesn't build us up to be stuck in this horrible start up/FCS call up league that Britton Banowsky cobbled together before he left.  Creation vs. Big Bang has nothing to do with it for me.  

If the Sun Burp wants Liberty, that's fine.  But, can we just stave off this kind of sh*t for a little while longer before Texas and OU bolt the Big 12 and we're forced together with them anyway?  Why are we supposed to put the bullet in our own head?  If we're going to die, we should die with our boots on - if we're going to die.

I won't be.  In fact I'm rethinking my relationship to my alma mater.  I know this seems to many of you like I'm vastly  over-reacting.  However, to me this is a big deal.  To me the people behind Liberty are to mainstream Christianity what the Taliban are to mainstream Islam. 

I'm going to stay off this site for awhile.  Life's too short to spend it banging one's head against a wall.  Have fun in the coming season.

I know there are some that are against playing Liberty but these announcements were just made:

Interesting that there are games being scheduled out as far as 2030!

Liberty for better or worse has plans on moving from being an independent to being apart of a conference...sooner rather than later. The facilities just can't be ignored.

      EM is the qb whisperer

      I don't want to hear it? You, untjim, went on a rant about how Texas/Oklahoma didn't produce great linemen anymore because of the style of play at the high school level. You implied we could not have great defense anymore because of what the states produced. I then asked what the excuse was for two G5 schools in our state and your answers were in fact defense. I baited you into basically acknowledging those two schools are successfully finding players who make-up decent to good defenses with the same pool of high school players we are surrounded by. So again, what's their excuse? We've established their defenses are decent to good. Why can they do it but we can't?

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      We do alright with the North Texas chant sometimes, we just need to make it a staple and I think people will do it.

      State fans showed up because they rightfully expected to win in this game. If the AD thinks they're going to depend on people to show up just cause NT has a team there, they are dead wrong. There are a few, but there are many many more who will not show up when they don't think their team will win. There are too many obligations and opportunities to devote precious time and money watching a team lose.

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      After Morris and Sheffield transferred, how many here were actually expecting to win? Many of us were just hoping TXST didn't handle us like they did UTSA this year or Rice in last year's First Responder Bowl. Sure, it's the head coach's job to have his team ready to play and in position to win regardless of the adversity faced, but it's still incredible the performance Mestemaker had. Tonight was better than any game C. Morris has had since Memphis. Coastal Carolina lost their starting QB to the portal and got dog walked in their bowl game against UTSA in their own building. Yes, the loss increases our bowl futility streak to an active high, and it sucks to lose to an intrastate program in an inferior conference, but that shouldn't take away from Drew's game. The biggest disappointment to me was how badly we were outnumbered by TXST fans. We went from packing the lower level of the Cotton Bowl to being matched ON OUR OWN SIDE. Like our team, our fans also struggle to wear green. However, there should be optimism surrounding next season. Eric made a poor hire with his first DC obviously, but made the tough (but right) call in getting rid of him. Next year's presumed starter will be in his last year of eligibility, so no losing another 4000 yard passed before the bowl game. If we struggle to another 6/7-win season and bowl loss with next year's schedule, I think Eric's seat should be pretty hot again.
