Adding context?

It wasn't helpful or well-intentioned. But if you want to believe some BC fan has a vested interest in elevating the level of discourse on a UConn football forum, well, you do you.

There was no evil intended in the post! Context is probably the best description! What was wrong with what I said?

Funny how all of the "context" you add on this website is slanted towards one particular narrative.

Why does a man your age think it's a good idea to play dumb when called out on the role you play here?

Please tell me what my narrative is. I didn't know I had one.

I hope you're less disingenuous around the members of your family you forsake in order to post on the message board of a college football team you don't even support.

He's a lonely person. I imagine that he very much mimics the avatar he has chosen: a sad, wet donkey...

I think he is a BCU fan that comes over here because they is no joy in Chestnut Hill.

Why the piling on? What's wrong with context?
Saying he was the leading rusher with 45 yards, without context, gives casual fans like me, who didn't bother to look at Illinois' games stats, the false impression they have no running game and we've got win two in the bag.

Lots of imagination here! Context is he’s one of a group of equals. Him being out won’t be a big deal.

The title of the thread is misleading. Should be leading rusher "last week". According to ESPN and other sites, he's like their third string RB. He only had 60 carries last year. IL avgs 5.9 per carry, which is really good. Not sure how they stink that bad at football when they run the ball so efficiently.
