ODU
- Thread starter ohio herd
- Start date
they will not be playing this fall...their AD does a weekly on the local ESPN radio station and is confident they made the right choice for them, and they’re sticking to it. Can’t really blame him for the decision, because hampton roads was a mess at the time. Plus, with program cuts they have made, he has the money to ride it out
They play FBS, not FCS. And UConn and New Mexico State are two other FBS schools that have claimed they won’t be playing this fall.
No. Va Tech beat them soundly. It was 2 years ago ODU won .
Last year the Monarchs ended 1-11 and fired their coach. The only win was a 3 point nod over Norfolk State.
Plenty of conferences have gone back on their initial decisions, even program presidents who (maybe) still object to playing, have decided to go ahead with the season.
Of all programs in CUSA to declare not playing the season, I would not have said ODU.
IDK why, but them continuing to sit this out , while everyone but 2 other schools in the entire nation had returned ,really rubs me the wrong way. For one thing, it hurts us and then on top of that having Rice ppd us is just the result of piss poor leadership at the top of C-USA
FIFU, they had potential, now that are just a bunch of girl scouts sitting home eating cheese puffs and playing X-Box.
I think the league should have made them forfeit the games they didn't play. If you're going to make the rest of the conference accommodate you, they each deserve a W. Same thing for Rice, who deliberately shortened their season.
I wonder if both of those teams being complete and utter trash had any factor in their decision to not play. Things that make you go....hmmm....

And I see Rice mentioned in some bowl projections. Now that UTEP is winning, they too may go bowling
What I'm most interested in this weekend: to see if the FAU/Charlotte and MTSU/WKU games happen, and which game ends first, resulting in the first C-USA East team not named Marshall to win a football game this year.
FAU/Charlotte kicks off an hour earlier, but maybe MTSU/WKU is just a run-centric grind fest and they come in under the wire. Who knows, I just know I'm excited for some C-USA East Football!

Then let’s say they don’t stink as bad.
And, Doc normally lays a turd or two a year.
Although this team seems different in a very good way.
21/46 for 188 yards passing with 2 TD & 16 carries for 55 yards running. We have to swarm him over
Good opponent & reasonably close...so, yes. They were also open yesterday.
They have already beaten 2 CUSA teams, with another one on their schedule...but we all know they are those “Flaming Idiots”.

Been over this before.
Nobody's doubting Liberty's ability to compete, what is making people turn the other way, is Liberty's very vocal Evangelical atmosphere. It is also a huge factor into why they (likely) are not part of a conference at this time. They don't look like they're going to tone down their opinions on politics and social issues anytime soon, so why should the conference let them in?
Keep religion and politics out of sports
So you'd be fine with Marshall joining conferences with a school that barred blacks from playing on their teams?
that’s a solid lie.
Anyway, what’s the difference between having an overly religious school or an overly “progressive “ school in your conference?
He said he wanted religion and politics out of sports. Both religion and politics have played direct factors in not allowing blacks to play on college sports teams.
Progressives fight for equality for all. Religious schools have historically and currently worked against equality for blacks, gays, etc. even regarding allowing them to play sports.
Progressive is more about getting everyone on the same level. They keep in mind others who may not have an equal share or opportunity to partake in whatever is out there.
Does this mean changes being made? Yes. The intent is to make it about others.
Liberty's case is more about "taking over" with propaganda relating to their Evangelical doctrines. They'll flood the airwaves with their ideologies (which are not only quite outdated but are just morally wrong on various degrees) and essentially try to ensure themselves control over everyone else. Can you imagine tailgating at Liberty? Being told you shouldn't be drinking beer at all and about a dozen other things you're doing wrong "according to ____"?
Does this mean changes being made? Yes. The intent is to make it about themselves.
My biggest concern with Liberty is that they would follow the UCF playbook. Their leadership would certainly be okay with things getting a little messy, if it lead to the greater good of winning/publicity.
Recent photos of LU’s football and basketball squads is proof positive that
blacks play for them,
That's foolish talk.
The point went over your head by about 20 yards.
You claim that politics and religion should stay out of sports. Both politics and religion have been used to discriminate against sports participation in college. So if you want to keep religions and politics out of sports, at least in the discussion regarding Liberty, then you also advocate Marshall joining a conference with a team that bars players based on race.
You can't make the statement that you did ("keep religion and politics out of sports") and then avoid how that has played out in the past.
SO I guess SMU aka Southern Methodist, TCU, aka Texas Christian, Notre Dame , BYU and Baylor should all bow out if you want to be fair. Get rid of all of the Christian schools. While you are at it throw out U of So. Cal, Duke and Boston College ,all started by Christians. I am okay playing Liberty. Do I want them in the conference? IDK but it has nothing to do with them being a Christian school.
But you can improve the future. And doing that in this scenario includes not assisting bigoted colleges.
I'm not the one saying to ignore religion/politics. That's your fellow deplorable.
