Bracketology 2024

I RE-clarified later. My original comment started, "AFAIC,...". No assumption necessary. I have no issue being disagreed with (okay, fine...sometimes a little bit of an issue), but having my comments misquoted and misrepresented, like you did here, is not something I easily back down from.

Have a good day.

Good grief. It is almost like you are trying to miss the point. "As far as I'm concerned" means it is your opinion. So when someone disagrees they are saying that "As far as they are concerned" they have a different take.

Stop taking it as an attack on you. Eventually they did attack you because it appears that you are being intentionally obtuse.

You have a good day as well.

It all started when you said that it exceeded your expectations and everything beyond that point was gravy. Even if you said, as you clarified later, that FOR YOU everything else was gravy, it isn't out of line for a poster to disagree indicating that they don't think FOR THEM (which they didn't need to say, it is assumed just as it was in your post) everything else is gravy. That is what message boards are for - expressing and discussing opinions. A disagreement on that point isn't cause for getting pissy. If you can't handle others having different opinions or disagreeing with your opinions, don't post them.

There was no straw man in the original disagreement.

Good grief is right.

You implied that I didn't state it clearly in my initial post. THAT is what I am addressing here. And now you're trying to tell me what my words actually mean, when I used them correctly in the first place. Stop misrepresenting my comments and I'll stop responding.

I can do this all day.

The latest ESPN bracketology has us as a 2 with Creighton as the 3 (other options at the 3 are Baylor, KU and Duke).

Also of note, BYU as a 5 paired up with Illinois at the 4. I think BYU would destroy them and their suspect defense.

Lol, Lawrence is pretty much the west suburbs of Kansas City. Charlotte is 3 hours and 50 minutes from their campus in another state that's ACC country that couldn't care less about SEC basketball.

That's a horrible comparison.

It seems like you are putting a lot of weight into Nashville's proximity to Charlotte and Memphis. I would wager there are a TON of Vol fans within a 2 hour radius of Knoxville. That should matter too.

That's the problem.

Whether you stated it was your opinion or not, and in the last post I didn't disagree that you did, you overracted to someone disagreeing with your opinion because they had a differing opinion. Own it.

Makes me shake my head when the announcers proclaim, look at all these fans from Ames that made their way to Hilton South.

I asked a question. Doesn't seem like an over-react to me. Another commenter also responded to my initial post, and I replied with further clarification, and that particular thread of the conversation ended.

That hasn’t been updated through yesterday’s games yet. But I doubt ISU’s situation would change all that much

I think it is safe to say at this point that we are locked into a 2 or 3 seed (I suppose with an outside chance of winning the Big 12 tournament and stealing a 1 if other things fall right for us). I don't think there's any way we drop below 3 now. The resume is just too strong.

I mostly agree but think we are almost locked into a 2 seed. The only way we don't get a 2 is probably if we lose our next 2 games and this team just seems too nails for that to happen.
