My red rubies have more to do with people that don't want to hear the truth on a buckeye board, more than the fact that my posts aren't knowledgable.

Things like "we are going to get our asses kicked by Michigan" are how you get red rubies not because of a lack of football knowledge

Good try, next.
In my experiences on this board, dissident opinions are encouraged as long as they are supported by rational logic and aren't attacking another poster. I don't have enough experience with reading your posts to try to generalize you, but what I've seen in this thread would suggest that you like to disagree with people, but digress to namecalling when another poster responds with an opinion contrary to yours.

I have had my share of heated debates on several boards (especially the baseball board with Yankee fans). I can't recall many of these different opinions escalating to the point of trashing each other. Because the confrontations are civil and well-thought out...we often come away with mutual respect for one another, even when we've remained in disagreement.

It's obvious that Grad has more knowledge of the strategy and initmate details of the game than most of us do. Getting defensive and attacking him when he has a different opinion will only make you look bad to everyone else. You'd be better off trying to support your statements than to mud-sling at him.

Red rubies rarely lie.

WTF?? Where did this come from? If you bastards are going to fight, you need to preface the actual argument with what you are fighting about, so the rest of us can enjoy it. How do I know who is right, and who is wrong, if I don't know the issue? Of course, from reading this little bit, it's obvious that Killer is calling names, but....I've seen both of you guys post for a long time, and for Killer to say that grad21 shouldn't be a teacher or coach is pathetic. Grad21 has more knowledge than just about anyone else here...and what makes this worst is Killer's admission that grad21 was right about their prior arguments, before resorting to further namecalling. I hate to admit it, Killer, but you pretty much lost all credibility when it took you roughly three and a half years to admit that Fox was a good corner.

Oiler good points,

Trashing people personally is not something I am proud of, nor acceptable and I will admidt that. I however believe that OSUGrad is probably a strong enough person, personally, that he will not loose any sleep over it.

I have no problem admidting that OSUGrad is an extremely knowledgable football mind, and has given me some nuggets to make me reconsideer things I have said in the past.

For example when we discussed the offensive line he had mentioned some things that were recieved well by me because they made sense

What usually starts name calling is when people make up my opinion or thoughts for me, as he did. Maybe I should make up his point of view for him, but I guess I don't think of that.

Long story short the red rubies I have have much more to do with my opinion, which is sometimes difficult to show facts when you are talking about the outcome of a future game.

I am not really worried about the rubies, because I have been down this far before, and made my way back up. Right now I am the stepchild, it will not last.

I am going to watch the game because I am a fan, and I have been wrong before. I thought we would kicked Michigan's ass several times in the past and it didn't work out that way.

I am hoping against hope. Obviously I don't mind the abuse.

Now whose doing the name calling?

Nope actually I made a crack about you needing to get into politics...

Hmmm, I notice that DiHard and BN27 made similar posts concerning your flip-flop approach, yet you chose to single me out and subsequently learned how the board feels about you. I made all my points and don't see the need to repeat what I observe in your posts. If you disagree with all of it...thats on you.

In the end bro, it comes down to respect...you aren't garnering much.

Hawg, leave him off the list....the battle royal needs to have clear sides and I would hate for this clown to keep jumping sides :biggrin:

27, you have an eye gouging coming as soon as I land in Cbus tomorrow night...

How do I get in on this deathmatch, anyway? I can kick all your asses at once. If you buy me a beer. Or maybe I'll buy you a beer. Bitches. Bring it. Come on. Just say when and where...

Seriously, if you guys are gonna be around the 'shoe on Saturday (just a wild guess), let me know where. I need to bitchslap someone....:biggrin:
