Why not re-rank today, 1/24

[VeloClone]

With exception of TCU (5 seed).

I agree having those 2 v 3 probably isn't happening (even if that's strict s-curve). Baylor could be shifted to a 4 seed, swapped with maybe Virginia or Gonzaga, then ISU into the South as a 2. (Using current Big 12 pecking order).

Oops, I missed that TCU was in as an 8th team. Thanks.

It was not my data but shows how far the two programs have come under new coaches. Why people here are so threatened by facts and history is rather remarkable. K-State was on the bottom as well. Good grief.

Thankfully, the squawks held off Texas last night or the B12 race would have been near curtains.

Look at the comments and tell me who acted "threatened by facts and history" ? You're creating a straw man so you can cry victim.

You posted a completely troll of a graphic and got repeatedly called out for it. Nobody said anything about the facts. We are all really aware how bad things were two years ago and how things have gone since then. Stop acting like that post was anything more than a troll.

What's frustrating is I genuinely don't mind most of what you post until you do crap like this and then try to act like you don't know what's going on. I legitimately don't understand your motivation for doing that.

Still trying to figure out why you are here...guess I will never know.

Why are you avoiding answering if the poster tmcats is a doosh?

Describe for us the "straw man" I created, specifically?

first two that appear there:

The blatant & incorrect spelling of the word douche.
Sohou looks like such a doosh.

You must have dug around for that one.


EDIT: can we now use douche ?

Actually, I had no clue what the poster was asking, it didn't make sense given the definition of the word "doosh." It seems no one here wants to talk hoops but rather weird, senseless, ad hominem argumentation. No thanks, boys.

Straw person is the misrepresentation of an opponent's position or a competitor's product to tout one's own argument or product as superior.

It was not my data but shows how far the two programs have come under new coaches. Why people here are so threatened by facts and history is rather remarkable. K-State was on the bottom as well. Good grief.

Thankfully, the squawks held off Texas last night or the B12 race would have been near curtains.

I guess I'll repeat what I said. Nobody said anything about the facts and history. Nobody was threatened by what you posted even a little bit. We called your post a troll, not the facts.

You created an argument that never existed. A straw man.

Because this site used to filter out the correct way to spell it, that's why I did it that way.

Again, why are you avoiding the tmcats question? What do you think of "his" posts?

 

[JP4CY]

Which is the only reason 'ole Bob posted it over here.

EDIT: I wonder if @tmcats has posted this elsewhere?

Bob/tm/Surly/whatever is very interesting.

Do you have a specific tmcats' post you would like me to comment on? I'll be happy to do that.

You know that's not the definition of a straw man argument. In fact, you're accusing me of doing what you just did.

Straw man argument: an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument.

Login as tmcats and share your comments from your alternate account. Duh.

Congrats for getting me to argue about something else. I guess I fell for it.

I'll stop this nonsense and just respond when you have something productive to post and just ignore your future troll attempts.

Sorry everyone else

Don't you see tmcats's posts on the boards you post on? What do you think of him?

Login as tmcats and share your comments from your alternate account. Duh.

I think that account was banned. Surly should probably be asking who that is, honestly.

That is impossible.

 

[Nelcyn]

Can we get a thread just for Surly where we can yell and complain about him/her in one spot?

I know tmcats personally. He's an ex-official here in Manhattan.

I have no idea what's going on in here right now.
