Distancing ourselves from Army rivalry is still a head scratcher to me...

I hate that my university is associating in any way, shape, or form with Liberty.  Schedule TCU, BYU, or SMU all you want.  Those schools are religious but they're not embracing and advancing pseudoscience.  

It’s football not politics or an academic decathlon. Sweet Jeebus, relax.

Our country shouldn't have validated NAZI Germany by playing in the 1936 Olympics.  Our university shouldn't validate Liberty by playing them in football.

I think Baylor already has that covered.

I thought ending the Army series allowed us to schedule Texas Texh and Memphis. Liberty was one of the concessions we made to make the other moves possible.

Now we have to build schedules based on style of play seems like a slippery slope, who knows what style of play a team might employ a few years down the line. 

From what I've read over the years, preparation for Army/triple read really is that different.

And Jesse Owens would have never made history in front of that POS Hitler.  Then again, comparing Liberty U. to the Nazis is ridiculous and over the top.

Why can't I ignore or block admins. 😭😭😭

How exactly did adding Liberty to our schedule make it possible to schedule TTU & Memphis?

[Silent Eagle]

I guess I’m not read up enough on what liberty puts out there for pseudoscience, however it’s probably not enough for me to lose any sleep over it. Either way, if it’s a winnable game I don’t care if it’s psychology department looks like the beginning of Ghostbusters.

As for getting out of the Army series....

I see it as a head coach with his eye on the big picture and an AD that supports the head coach.

 

So I'll defer to the two guys running the program. As far as fan experience....I'll take wins. That's what I enjoy. So if the HC thinks getting out of that series improves preparation and keeps the team in a better rythm for the long haul....I support it.

I thought that we’d only replaced two games of the Army series for games against Liberty.  And that we still had remaining games with Army on future schedules.  Or did we end up canceling the whole series?

Liberty and Houston were the result of cancelling some of the Army games. I like that we’ve got several AAC out of Conference series with SMU, Memphis and UH in the next couple of years.

Literally nothing at Liberty University is like Nazi Germany. And I want nothing to do with playing Liberty University on athletics because they are spare and do nothing for us. But when Liberty starts killing people and confiscating their possessions because they aren't viewed the same as they are, then you can make these accusations. 

Maybe a communist country would be a better fit for your thinking...

[Salsa_Verde]

Note to self...never bring up Liberty University ever again. 😅

To quote the great Patrick Henry in his speech in 1775: 

"Give me Liberty, or give me a low-level P5 or maybe like a flashy G5, something with a good market and with no Nazis, or Communists, or pseudoscience, or Creationsim I'm not sure what I'm invoking here!"

1 - You do know that NAZI Germany was extreme right-wing & was strongly opposed to Communism.  2 - Liberty doesn't kill people but they do indulge in thought control, requiring every student to take their course in Creation Science and every professor to accept Liberty's position that evolution (i.e., the accepted scientific theory) is false.

I would like to see a season playing the following:  BYU, SMU, Baylor, Notre Dame, Liberty, Presbyterian College, Texas Wesleyan, Cal Lutheran, Abilene Christian, St. Mary's, TCU and Incarnate Word.  That should cover most of the bases.

So you don't want to be associated with Christianity? You're letting your personal beliefs cloud your judgement while basically condemning the beliefs of millions of people. And if you don't agree with your thought processes then be damned you go. But I digress, who exactly is the Nazi in this situation? 

Live and let live, man.

Liberal much?

You’ve been indoctrinated to hate Christianity. The National socialism party hated all of it too.

Yeah, to the point of removing posts whenever there's a push back the opposite direction.

I said I'm fine with playing TCU, SMU, BYU, even Baylor.  Last I heard those are Christian institutions.  The difference?  They don't deny science or require their students & faculty to deny science.

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. ...Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross. ..."

Ok so we're all on the same page then: Liberty sucks whether you hate Christianity or you like giving a fake school credibility.
