2015 Sugar Bowl Less Civilized Thread (Arguments/Shenanigans)

OSU is ranked 50th in passing offense and Ala is no.2 in the nation in rush defense.

:lol: And?

Besides MSU and WI, did you guys play a ranked team?

Yes. Minnesota.

Alabama played Ole Miss, MS, AR, LSU, and Auburn, all ranked teams.

Ok and?

And for the record, I think Aub has a better offense than tOSU....

That's not what the stats say....

but you guys have the better D. I may have to eat my words but I don't see tOSU putting up a lot of points on the no. 4 scoring defense in the country.

This was never about points....but at the same time, Bama has played 3 top-20 offenses and hasn't done much to stop them from moving the ball. Eventually a good team moving the ball will score.

And other than at the QB position (which I consider even), Ohio State's offense is deeper and more talented across the board than Auburn's offense.

Guys, please take the shenanigans to the other thread.

Whose trolling though?
We were having a conversation about validity of opponent's run attacks and run defenses... I respond using the name of the feature back on the team he's repping, and several of them are going "Whose that?"
Certainly I'm not trolling... I don't think they're trolling. I think they're just revealing the degree to which they're making this stuff up as they go.

If you can't remember the name of Miss St's supposedly amazing running back, he might not be as good as you're trying to convince us.

The post you replied to was mine. I said Mississippi state, auburn, and Arkansas all were good running teams. You said Robinson wasn't very good. How was I supposed to guess what team you were talking about?

I am very careful, knowing I am an outsider, to fact check my stats and claims. It's disappointing that when something isn't clear, I am called out as not a good fan or not very smart (which may be true). That is not welcoming.

Anyway, what are specific match ups you guys think you might be able to exploit on bama?

A) If there's a question, then you might need to check how your posts are coming across.

B) Him allegedly not knowing who Robinson is registers as an allegedly aloof post, not trolling.

Beau has said a few aloof things here or there but has made a strong effort to promote good conversation.

Gcashwell has been arguably the best visitor (and we've had a handful) but is getting grilled as though he is instigating, that needs to stop now. Find fault with his post or cluelessness about robinson, but consider the tone.

Since Josh gave you the serene, moderator version of this reply, I'll give you the don't give a fuck variety.

Kuji, you have been rude and condescending when it has been entirely unwarranted. You've been an insufferable prick to some of our guests (and some of our own) seemingly just to prove that you're so goddamn smart and have continued to craft reaching and often empty arguments designed solely to make another post or poster seem stupid.

So the answer to your question is YOU. You are trolling. There's a huge difference between debate and flaming. I'm unconvinced you understand that difference.

My advice, if you are mature enough to consider it, is to lay low for a minute and let some of your arguments go. There has not been a topic you have "contributed" to that hasn't has another poster elicit the same opinions in a much more tactful way.

If you can't do that, you may reconsider what it is you're seeking in these threads.

A) This statement itself seems rather passive-aggressive and indirect? If you want change, just say it outright.
B) I agree and said as much

I don't think he's instigating at all.
However how am I supposed to take his declarative statements seriously when he says something like "Miss St. has a great run game", and then in the very next post doesn't know who their feature RB is ??
How would you like me to respond? At first I thought he and beau were vacillating to avoid the discussion. And certainly the latter was part of how we ended up with split threads as Mili stated outright in the shenanigans thread.
If you wrote a post about Michigan having a great QB, and then repeatedly asked who Gardner was... I'm pretty sure some people would be astounded. That deserves some criticism for intellectual dishonesty and trying to bs everyone.
