Honestly, I think in this conversation you've gone off the deep end in misrepresenting upstater's position.No it's idiotic to say that Penn State is going to change conferences because of calls in games.
Yeah Penn State is bigger than Michigan and Ohio State. Lets check back in ten years after they spend another decade looking up at them.
You can't even be remotely objective about Penn State so I'll drop out now and you can get the last word by misrepresenting my position and crying the Big 10 is out to get PSU
He said he didn't believe that PSU was going to leave for the ACC. It only made sense if:
upstater said:Notre Dame was somehow talking to PSU about going all in to the ACC. The two schools could have demanded some changes in the ACCs payout structure (and FSU would have gone along) which would have given them as much if not more cake than what PSU gets from the B10.
He then followed it up, correcting someone's suggestion about fans' frustration about the sanctions, and said that he only heard fans complain about officiating. And then he provided some evidence to back up his point. But he hardly ever said they were going to change conferences because of calls in games. Are all fanbases upset, at times, about calls? Sure. Do they think conferences are out to get them? Probably not--but perhaps PSU fans feel that way, rightly or wrongly. Again, he didn't say they'd leave the conference.
In your argument about Penn State's "cache," he never said they were bigger than Ohio State and Michigan. He said that
upstater said:they're not well behind. As has been proven over and over and over again by eyeballs. By popularity.
You didn't counter that, you changed his argument from "not well behind" to "bigger than."
You say he can't be objective about Penn State--but you can't seem to be objective about upstater. This is not the first time you've started arguments with him. Where you normally keep your arguments straight, here you're doing what you usually criticize others for.
