Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4845011, member: 181"] Not sure that I comprehend what you meant by the word "be," because I don't see it anywhere, (EDIT: I do see the word "be." I did make a mistake in misquoting you) but I will add - and only because it's more accurately descriptive than anything else I know - that "absolutely" is defined as "without qualification" or "totally," and therefore means ALL of something, which is (in mathematical terms) 100%. As such, I can make some sense of what you've said, though you've still planted your flag at one of the two available reality-based extremes. On that particular point, I disagree, but I also respect your clarity, which included beginning what you wrote with, "I disagree," and firming things up with, "to me." It's your opinion, not fact. Personally, I see room for arguments to vote in favor of Purdue irrespective of respect or disrespect toward UConn. Some of those arguments will translate into actual votes for Purdue, so I can reasonably predict they'll occur. In my estimation, particularly prior to the results of games through Sunday, a vote for Purdue wouldn't [I]necessarily[/I] constitute "nothing disrespectful" OR something "absolutely be[Ing] disrespectful" toward UConn. Thevway I see it, there are facts, feelings, thoughts, and opinions. Frequently, in loosely defined language, they get compared as though they are pretty much fully equivalent to each other. I don't think that's the case. I do know this much. If I have $1 and you have $10, then you have 10 times as much money than I have, and that means you have 1,000% of the amount of money I have. 72% of the Top 25 ranked teams play on Saturday. Half of them are road games. That's 9, or 50%. There should be some good ones. UConn plays Sunday. Go Huskies. Haircut done, yoga next, back home to do paperwork. I probably made some mistakes in this post. [/QUOTE]
