You have demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that you don't have the ability to determine which results are reasonable and which aren't. You have zero credibility on the issue. I'm just saying by no means should I have lost that game, period...that's all I'm saying. You want to justify that crap, fine...don't tell me I should have lost that game.

i think the problem here is that you are asking for an explanation, and then when you don't like it, ignore the explanation and say you don't want help. that doesn't make any sense. i have tried to reason with you for quite some time and if that is your attitude, i suppose there is no reason to continue. if you ask for an explanation, you are asking for help, plain and simple. You're totally off base here, I'm asking you to justify an unjustifiable result to me. Just because you all have reasons DOESN'T MEAN that those reasons are GOOD ENOUGH to justify the end result....that's what you're not getting. I don't agree that this result is justified, and because you all disagree with me, I'm wrong...that's hilarious to me.

finally, you just seem unwilling to accept the fact that when two teams play in a random number generator driven sim, the chance of one team winning can not be 100%. it just can't be. even my team could lose to that sim. sure, its a 99.9% or better we would win. but that means sometimes, we would lose. there is NEVER a match up that there is "no way in hell" you should lose, to quote you. and again, your team is not good. their team is not good. that's not an insult, but it really suggests this is not a huge upset. there is no way you were even a 95% favorite. you know what, my team loses games they were more likely to win that yours, pretty much every season. when i have the best team in the country, i don't demand they go 35-0. in fact, its only happened once, out of a pretty large number of teams that had a bigger advantage over #2 than you had over this sim. the simple fact of the matter is, and you just need to accept this, even if you are a 99% favorite, you will still lose sometimes. that is how a sim works, that is how its supposed to work. if you wrote a sim that didn't work that way, it would be a broken piece of **** and nobody would play it. It was a W all day, every day, period. I get how a sim works, and for a 1 in a million result to screw me is just incredibly hard to stomach at this moment.

Completely false...its called playing the way I want to play, period.

And that's what we've all done, explained to you why the result wasn't crazy.

In the first graph above you wrote: "TELL ME WHY I GOT BEAT JUSTIFIABLY".

In the second graph above you wrote: "You want to justify that crap, fine...don't tell me I should have lost that game.."

Too funny for words.

SO because WE disagree with YOU we're wrong, and the possibility that you could be isn't even one to be considered? No, just because you attempt to justify something, doesn't mean that its justified, it means that you tried your best to justify it.Tell me Colonels, just for giggles, what you think an acceptable score in that game would have been?

And conversely, just because you don't like the explanations that you've been given doesn't make them wrong.

When you've got a bunch of highly successful coaches telling you the same thing, you think there may be something to their points? But since you don't "like" the answers you're getting, you put your hands over your ears, disregard all the rational answers, and scream like a little kid that "this was a slam-dunk win, a gimme, I got screwed, waaaah, waaaah, waaaah". Arguing just argue. And doing a bad job of it, I might add.

Nope, that's the honest to God's truth...if I won by 1, I wouldn't be here right now, period.
