Liberty at Rutgers in 2019

Not that we have some sort aversion to playing religious schools but I guess that I'm just somewhat surprised that we'd be playing them (a school that includes racial and gender-based discrimination in its mission).
 
We have 4 open dates in 2019 for 2 games according to fbsschedules.com. August 31st, Sept 14th, October 26th, and November 9th. My guess is we play Liberty on August 31st as Opening Day before our trip to Iowa City, leaving 2 bye weeks and hopefully a cool OOC opponent for the 150th anniversary of the first game. Damn those rich bastards from Princeton for scheduling Dartmouth at YS for it.

While the schools played 150 years ago were Princeton and Columbia (not FBS) if you look at the 1919 schedule (100 year anniversary) we played UNC, Syracuse, Boston College, West Va, and Northwestern.

If the Big 10 2019 schedule is not released yet we should ask for Northwestern to be one of our western opponents. Then for the OOC game we are discussing try to get Cuse, BC, UNC, or West Va as a home game in a home and home series to celebrate the 150 yr aniversary and 100 year anniversary.

While I think that's a fair point (if your premise is true), the other side to that is that it is a generally healthy thing for friendly competition to take place between even enemies. The olympics and many other international sports competitions provide good support for that. It will likely afford the team from Liberty an opportunity to see something different than they usually do.

Should burn all the Baptist with this train of thought. My wife's church has a lot of people who attended Liberty, maybe they're just doing a real good job hiding this racial and gender discrimination because I haven't seen it.

I'll have to ask my wife's best friend next time I see her, if this is what she was taught while attending Liberty. I have a feeling I already know the answer. She's married to a real cool black fella(he played football there), I like to call him my friend.

That's the school Jerry Falwell founded, right? The moral majority guy? Surprised that school (and some others I won't name) don't have people shouting for boycott (you know, like what happened with state of North Carolina).


How ya doin?

Private school versus a state?
 
They made something like $115 million last year from online tuition alone. This doesn't count the 15,000 plus students who live on-campus. They're constantly adding on to their campus and they're not afraid to spend on sports. They have so much money they don't know what to spend it on.
They're a religious based school. All campus students must attend convocation Wednesday mornings and must take some religious courses to graduate. But they don't discriminate. I can guarantee you they'll take your cash for an education no matter what color or religion you are.
 
It's disgusting that our athletics department is giving an openly homophobic university a platform.
 
Absolutely! Just like Cal State schools(all of them), Notre Dame, Penn State, Arizona State, Arizona, Missouri Univ., all of them, and many more who preach free speech, equal rights, and sexual equality. Bunch of hypocrites all of them. At least Liberty stands for something that's genuine, even if the "students" don't appreciate it.
Personally, as a Viet Nam vet and Rutgers Alumni our protest were real, and stood for something. Not, this bogus crap these entitled kids think is important. Feel really bad for the future of this country under this liberal, Socialist mentality.
 
POTUS Tinkles is giving the commencement address at Liberty U. tomorrow. So they have "that" going for them. Yeesh.

The last thing our football program needs is a controversy, and I am concerned that this scheduling will produce one. But it's hard to say. My alma mater Cal (which is to say Berkeley) played Army in football, basketball, track and other sports at the height of the Vietnam war, and there was not the slightest problem. Army athletes in the long distance walking competition went around campus, and no one gave them a hard time.
 
I don't consider the idea that gay people are inherently evil as a mere difference of opinion á la preferring Coke to Dr. Pepper. I'm sure that some here disagree, though.

Es tut mir leid.
