BTW, page 3. That's when it started getting off topic. I said a few weeks ago that no one should ever read past page 3. The insultfest always begins in earnest on page 4.

Who is reporting all these posts?

The owner of the thread.

Me. I'm trying to steer this back on topic. There are hundreds of threads to toss around insults. I don't really care what tw47 or cjmully think of me. If they want to criticize my ideas, so be it. But I'm not in the mood for "U R stewpid" today.

On topic, please.

cubcub, I'm not debating the quality of coaching or intelligence of any user in this thread any longer. I'd appreciate if you'd just delete your post. Thanks in advance.

Oh well, I asked.

mike's proposal was interesting and promising

confused by what happened to a perfectly nice thread

What always happens. Goes OK for maybe 3 pages then becomes an insult-laden, off-topic mess. It could have gone 3 ways:

1. Debate the three ideas I had.
2. Individuals propose their own ideas that could be debated also.
3. Grab the biggest piece of poo you can find and sling it at someone you disagree with.

As usual, it quickly turned to #3.

How is defending my position on my analogy against you're flawed logic not on topic? My analogy was a direct rebuttal to the first post in this thread?
As far personal attacks. If someone is being illogical or idiotic I have no problem saying so. Just because I'm abrasive doesn't mean my statements are wrong or unjustified. That said you've directly called me names. If I have problems with someone's rhetoric I don't mirror or exceed that rhetoric. Yet you've chosen that path.

I recently got into two battles with the same nearby team over 2 local and probable EE players. For the most part, i led on one of the guys, and he led on the other. He won the first guy at 54% to 48%, both Very High. He continued to go hard after the 2nd guy and won that battle too. He did a great job outmaneuvering me, and i have no problem with my two losses. And he's a great guy too and a legendary owner.

Having said all that, the fact is that he went balls-out for 2 EE guys... and we all know that EE's can put owners at a disadvantage... so if he gets hosed on EE's in a couple of seasons, i will have little sympathy for him with his situation. I've come around to thinking that the EE set-up should stay as-is. Big Six high-prestige schools who deliberately stuff their fat faces at the pig feeding trough, while aware that they could get hosed with EE problems, should adjust, or accept their probable fate of getting hosed. Also want to note that this owner has never complained and is a nice, honest and straight-up guy.

I think this is high quality post.
