The SBC posters are at it again. They have created a poll for their next expansion candidates, most likely in an attempt to discredit LU if the comments are valid. Guess who is leading? As results can change in an instant, Liberty currently leads the 15 schools in the poll (including JMU) receiving 25% of the votes. There are several tongue-in-cheek votes for other schools but the LU ones seem mostly valid.

And lastly, we're being quoted there by what we are saying here. So like us or not, our peers want to know what we are saying.

Here's the link: http://csnbbs.com/thread-728593-page-2.html

Checked it this morning and we have 12 votes and are still 1st place. Since we started a LU section it seems like we are getting more votes. Before we did stuff like this rarely went our way.

Good observation. Before we activated our board, we really had no place to land to discuss LU sports. If only our men's basketball team had a better season we could have discussed some of the highlights.

It was not an attempt to discredit Liberty. It was FloridaJag being FloridaJag. He's fascinated by several FCS teams, and several D1 teams without football teams currently as future SBC members. I think he wanted to see if anyone actually agreed with him. Instead he's found a poll where Liberty and Missouri State are running away with the field, and if you asked most anyone, those are the best options available to us right now.

Chief, having read the extreme position posts by FloridaJag, one could summarize that he was hoping that LU would make a poor showing and that other teams would excel beyond LU's appeal. Uniquely, as this was a poll to vote for a team for expansion, voters could only vote for their team rather than against. FloridaJag I know has razzed on you, and others who have said fair things about LU on the SBC board. It's just a informal poll that shows the majority of people who knew about this posts voted to support LU as the primary team for SBC expansion. Just a nice feather in our cap and nothing more.

I don't think that was his original intent here though. Though I admit I never fully understand what was intent is with half the stuff he posts.

So why would he create the poll? Did he believe that other teams would be much more popular?

It's pretty cool that an anti LU supporter creates a poll for SBC expansion, and results after several days continue to show that LU leads the poll in votes cast and highest percentage favored.

Also, the newness of our board is being recognized my others. All anyone has to do is read some of the SBC posts or JMU posts and we're often mentioned in acting and reacting to current events.

As we just re-activated our board in December, in what seemed like forever in the Proving Ground, it's good to see consistent LU posters and others from outside visit and comment. It just proves LU has a strong base and foundation to build on. As we enter the baseball season and near the football season, we can expect a huge spike in activity. The Flames train is rolling.

I don't think there is a big conspiracy against Liberty that you make it seem. I don't think they made the poll to show Liberty wouldn't get any votes and to be honest, the result mean nothing. I voted for Liberty as I'm sure many other LU fans did as well which is why they are winning. Is it good we won? Yeah, but don't act like it was some major campaign or crusade that we embarked on to vanquish the evil and successfully paved the way for our entrance to the Sun Belt.

Chill GE. You are overreacting and taking things out of context. You seem to be interpreting the post as some secret government plot being proposed by those against LU. All anyone needs to do is read the many of the post mentioned and draw their own conclusions.

I would recommend re-reading the posts you've made to see the temperament and positions you have taken. It's clear you and I don't agree on a lot of points and that is okay. It's what a board is for to offer differences of opinions. But rather than that preach to me, your time would be better served to focus on your own crusades and campaigns. Sometimes silence and acceptance is stronger than whimsical pollyanna positions. Can we just agree that we disagree? That's my thought and that's okay.

I think LU had an advantage because there are so many teams on that poll. Voters wasted votes on fantasy adds that shouldn't of been in the poll. This spread out votes.

It's a mock poll at best. It is interesting to see who voted for who.

Then you debated with chiefsfan about FloridaJag and how you think he (FJ) created the poll solely to discredit Liberty. Or when people say they don't want Liberty in the conference you appear to take it very personal and feel you have to get them to change their minds.

Many of your posts have this super-pro Liberty stance to them which is great because Liberty needs passionate supporters. We are all passionate about Liberty or we wouldn't be here. It is great to have a diverse community and it wouldn't be as good without you or the others here. If you want to vent to me about myself then PM me instead of getting it out into the open for everyone to see as it would make you, me, Liberty, and others look bad.

Are you really this upset about this? Don't you have better things to do with your time than this? Seems like you are not going to let this go. What would you like for me to do so you make peace with this? Tell me what you want. Geez GE, what's really up?

And, as an addition, I am not going to get into a PM back-n-forth he-said, you-said. It doesn't serve any of us. In re-reading your post, seems like your feeling are hurt or embarrassed, or that I am trying to belittle you. That is not the case. We simply have different views about the same topic, which believe it or not, is better than all of us being harmonized.

I am not upset about anything. I said that already. I guess it isn't translating or something so I will stop getting the thread off topic. So if you want to continue the discussion about me then I will only respond to a private message. Sorry everyone.

Sorry guys, I had to send in the troops. More than anything, I wanted the Sun Belt people to understand the JMU fan's position rather than our administration's. Plus, just in the off chance our administration were to stumble across it, they would see our thoughts.

It's kinda fun to have a mock poll in the off season. I for one am surprised that LU has fared as well as it has. It gives the SBC posters an analysis of the info that they can chew on, digest and then expel.

Agree.

Im not a liberty fan but I will say Liberty's case for fbs membership has become better in recent years as they have become more academically oriented and less political, with Old Dominion in CUSA, the case for Liberty in CUSA is actually moved from theoretical to remotely possible especially if James Madison decides for forsake FBS membership. Old Dominion-Liberty would be like FAU-FIU . Although at this time south alabama are ahead of you simply because of a desire to have an Alabama school to replace UAB.

As for FloridaJag, his obssession with FGCU & UWF is great comic relief. I used to think he was caricature ID, but based on listening to him for years on multiple boards I have concluded he actually believes what he posts. That makes it even more of a riot.
