Very cool, thank you for posting. I'm learning more about this now after looking it up. FYI I'm seeing it was first published in 1921, not 1917. Either way, your point stands.
Your thoughts on the belief that Christians today would reject the teachings of Jesus?

Should read "some" Christians, not a lot of space for a thread title though.
Some people believe that a sect of modern Christians would reject Jesus Christ and his teachings if he walked the Earth with us today.
His views would be labeled as "liberal" or even "socialist". Would he be outcast?
What are your thoughts?

No, it actually isn't even a little bit of a myth.
How so? The Constitution did not establish Christianity as an official religion of the US.

re: Re: Conference Expansion: Missouri or Memphis?

I believe UNC would have been, and still would be, the SEC's first choice but at the time, UNC wasn't open to breaking up Tobacco Road and losing the power they hold within the ACC. They are Texas-light in that regard.
Now though things have changed and from what I've read, they are open to exploring other conferences.
Virginia Tech would have been a great add though, I agree. They've lost some luster over the last decade though and seem to be glossed over in recent conference realignment talks.

It's incredible what first year HC Ashley Chastain has done so far this season in Columbia. It's crazy how AD Ray Tanner whiffed so hard on the baseball hire but seems to have hit a home run with the softball hire.

Kamara was our LB4 on a 4-3 defense so he was the next man up in the rotation and played 30 snaps the game before he decided to sit out. And if any of our top 3 guys got injured at any point he was slotted as the first replacement option.
He asked Beamer if he could sit the rest of the season and start next year and Beamer told him that he should make other plans because we're not gonna tolerate quitters.

The beginning and end of the expansion list has always been these schools since 1992.

Except it doesn't. Why is Rutgers in the Big Ten? Because of their powerhouse football program or because they're in New Jersey and can bring in the NYC market?

quote:I disagree, at the time of the 2010 realignments, markets were the main driver. Conferences wanted new markets for TV eyeballs. Missouri brought in a new state with two big markets (KC and STL), but in terms of athletic achievements, they've been a disappointment I'd say.
Football is what drives conference expansion.

Isn't this similar to what Bangally Kamara just did to us/Shane Beamer this past year? It wasn't directly because of NIL but rather playing time but he quit on the team to save his last year of eligibility and transfer at the winter window.
