I am 99% certain kcsundevil gave his account to someone.
Nope, just skipped breakfast this morning. You're not yourself when you're hungry.

That was a low quality post, I've removed it.

You got hit by the WIS ugly stick. Happens to most of us.

Well, I agreed with it but didn't feel the need to post it.

Kinder, gentler MikeT23.

comment from a guy with his head in the gutter...
What's up with WIS recruit name generation...surely no parent with the last name of Bushnell would name their kid Harry

My opinion was elite. My phrasing was not.

Compelled to correct the coin flip,analogy. Recruiting is now like game play. It has been: defined by probability. A 70-30 recruiting battle is not a coin flip. A coin flip is always 50-50, every time. Recruiting is more like a raffle where 100 tickets are sold. If you buy 75 of them, you have 75% chance of one of your tickets being drawn. If you buy 50 you have a 50% chance.
Game play has always been a combination of probabilities: the likelihood of your 99 rebounder to get a board vs. his 59 rebounder, the likelihood of your 99 defender to shut down their 60 perimeter SG . And when all the probabilities are combined and you hold 98 of the 100 raffle tickets, one of the two you don't have can still be a winner.
This game would suck if the better team won 100% of the time. And utilizing probable outcomes is the only way to make a math based game produce varied outcomes. I bet if the replayed the game cited above 99 more times, the #1 seed wins 98.
The argument can be made that the percentage of outcomes may be skewed but who's to say what that percentage should be?
I was using figurative language. Thank you for being obtuse.

Back to the point of the thread, I feel bad for hippo. That happened to me once a long time ago in DII and it stung.

Go, I apologize. Didn't mean to offend or single out your statement. I've just seen a lot of coin flip references and I was hoping it might be helpful. Don't come to the forums much anymore due to the rancor so I suppose I probably pointed out something long since discussed and it was assumed I intended to be malicious. Again, no offense intended and rooting for you to get UVA to the top of the heap in the ACC.

We now return you to regular programming.

No problem...and my bad for getting testy. I agree with your rancor comment completely because I rarely post now for the same reason. My Virginia team will need a lot of luck. What a mess.

Anyway, we're good and I appreciate your redress. Too little of that on the forums these days.
