So...The Ducks will play Christofascist Liberty University in the Fiesta Bowl

Liberty....Created by Jerry Falwell and the Moral Majority to fight liberals, abortion, gays, and Democrats, will now field a football team in a New Year's Day bowl game. Liberty's law school is an incubator for the most radical Federalist Society judges bent on creating a bible-based theocracy.

As an Oregon Alumn, I have had nothing but disqust as college sports have become a microcosm of greed. Transfer portal free agents, NIL contracts, six year quarterbacks, and the chase for TV dollars at the expense of the conferences.

A bowl game with a college that represents everything I lothe in American politics.

Hillsdale is big on talk radio.

When Jerry finally dropped dead, he was insured up to his eyeballs. Thomas Road is a tight network. Buying a car? You better get it from one of the dealerships in the church. Insurance. Real estate. Etc.

Jerry’s insurance cleared their debt right before the Recession. We used to drive by there I. The way to Roanoke. They built to the point that they’ve blocked out the horizon.


I have personal contacts who went to high school with Jerry and had families split apart by faith to Jerry. I deal with Liberty people everyday - I’ve met one who’s good at their job and not an overtly pious self consumed holier than thow condescending a hole. ONE.

All of Liberty is purely a cash operation. It became a real estate company- Jr’s specialty.

They are printing money.

I was pulling for him to beat Washington, and I won't have any trouble pulling for him to beat Liberty.
