Beating bad FBS teams proves nothing. Beating a team that 95% of the FBS can spank week in and week out isn't a accomplishment. ASU knocking off Michigan was an impressive win, since Michigan went on to beat Florida in the Capital One Bowl that year. Liberty beating a 4-8 Ball State team, that only beat Southeast Missouri State (FCS), Central Michigan (3-9, 1 FCS win), Akron (1-11) and Buffalo (2-10, 1 FCS Win). Thats impressive only beating Ball State by 4 two years ago, I just can't wait till they play FBS football so I can bet my life savings on them. Get real, great FCS teams die at the FBS level and struggle to compete. What makes you think a average FCS team playing in a weak conference with no competition can survive in the FBS. I hope Liberty moves up so they are stuck in mediocracy for forever!
And do you want to remind us all how bad LU beat the SeaChickens last year? I agree that LU is not a great or even a very good FBS football team, but they are improving every year. They are a very young school with excellent facilities and have been very competitive at every level their sports programs have ever competed in. You should know that, they have won the BSC Sasser Cup for how many consecutive years now? Haven't they won 4-5 NCAA Division 1 National Championships in track and cross country? Didn't their WBB team finish in the Sweet 16 a few years ago. The golf team has been ranked in the top 30 for the last couple of years, their baseball team is respectable (just ask UNC and Virginia).
If you were a App State fan or similar, I could understand your air of superiority. But as a fellow Big South member, it is laughable.
Just to clear up somethings, Liberty has had a football team since 1973 (D1-AA since1989), Coastal's first team was in 2003. We have played you guys 9 times and Liberty leads the series 5-4. Don't get ahead of yourself, I remember when the Flamers came ranked down to Conway last year and got beat bad too, I really don't care, we are on the same level. Liberty has a bad basketball team, trust me I have seen them play. A bad baseball team, you guys are no where close to us and never will be, the only thing you guys have going for you is women's sports other than football. Well done
Also Liberty has 4 BSC football Championships and Coastal has 4 BSC Football Championships (NOTE THAT ONE OF THE CHAMPIONSHIPS IS A SHARED ONE, THE SAME YEAR COASTAL BEAT LIBERTY). Also basketball championships 3-2 in favor of Coastall, with Coastal winning the Regular season 6 times, Liberty winning the Regular season ONCE. Coastal has not lost a Big South Baseball Championship in a long time, clinched our SIXTH straight regular season crown today.
Liberty looks so appealing compared to mediocre Coastal Carolina.
