Everybody gets it"Overconfidence red flag of your homonym error" lol. Bro, it's a message board, not a literary journal. When I submit to those things I proofread. When I post here I dash it off and move on. Language is first and foremost about communication, and everyone knows what I meant.
"Favorable response"? I mean, who cares? It's a message board. Caring about likes or dislikes—say in smiles or frowny faces—is pathetic.
Grand CanyonWhich school are you talking about?
We all got hot & bothered back in the day b/c Jerry Tarkanian was definitely providing benefits to recruits and blatantly playing loose with NCAA rules. Turns out Jerry was 1000% right in what he was doing. And the the NCAA holier than thou stance was parallel to Lance Armstrong going after others for doping = vigilant accusations, hypocrisy - covering up one's own wrongdoing by pointing fingers.Grand Canyon
Are you sure? We have haiku!
I, too, had McNeese making a big run smhSame here. But also has Samford and McNeese so…..ruined
I was right. Auburn wasn't that good despite everyone suggesting we had a bracket of death.Aw c'mon, give him his due, in winning the "literary journal" argument I didn't make.
He strongly rebutted something I tagged as to be "left aside" but had quoted to set a foundation of understanding that he was asking someone to consider a different point of view...which similarly affirmed his his larger point that knowing that "here" meant "hear" should be sufficient within a message board. I accepted that, even if I made passing mention of the bravado.
In spite of my efforts to the contrary, I seem to have stirred some antipathy (i.e., caring) about telling someone they were wrong. It's ironic that I'd already said it didn't matter, while at the same time being factually correct, whereas, his was an unreferencing bold assertion to introduce an opinion, even if later supported by some factual content.
Without intending to, I thereby strengthened my point about the compromising effects of negatively provocative approaches when one wants to educate or persuade people. Of course, it's just a message board, with dashed off impressions, so who cares and what difference does it make?

You were the one who made a comment about the "here"/"hear" misspelling as if that were relevant to the topic at hand (something something it undermined my point and highlighted arrogance?) and then made a comment about my general tone getting positive feedback (unlike some sensitive posters here, I don't particularly care). In each case, I dismiss out of hand the relevance of those comments. And if the "hear"/"here" thing didn't matter, you wouldn't have said it. It's apophasis, and everyone sees through that.
Instead, I continue to assert that we weren't screwed by the committee. That's the point and the context of my original post.
You have stirred no antipathy. It's a message board. It's supposed to be fun.
Marquette has a pretty easy path to the Elite 8
For the East and West: Illinois, Alabama and Arizona are my only teams of concern.After UConn, which other teams are playing well and look really tough- Houston? Not worried about Purdue. Will get more clarity after the 2nd round, but who are the biggest threats to our team?
It's a big tent, containing multitudes.Haiku AND long form journalism!
Comparatively it is the bracket of death withI was right. Auburn wasn't that good despite everyone suggesting we had a bracket of death.

Yes after watching all of the games the last two days. There is really 2 teams that stand above the rest, UCONN and HOUSTON. We just play a different brand of basketball even compared to the other top 10 teams.After UConn, which other teams are playing well and look really tough- Houston? Not worried about Purdue.

Nah, the only "arrogance" would be in claiming singular interpretations, where many are plausible good ones and yours is but one among them.I was right. Auburn wasn't that good despite everyone suggesting we had a bracket of death.

Agreed. After those two, there are two or three second tier teams that are really good when they are on. The rest of the field looks like they are playing an entirely different game.Yes after watching all of the games the last two days. There is really 2 teams that stand above the rest, UCONN and HOUSTON. We just play a different brand of basketball even compared to the other top 10 teams.
Houston will have a tougher matchup path than we will. A&M can put up some points and JMU will get past Duke. If they get to the EE, either Colorado or Marquette, both can make it very hard for Houston
Probably a lot lolI wonder how much money Charles Barkley lost on the game?
In my opinion Houston is over rated.After UConn, which other teams are playing well and look really tough- Houston? Not worried about Purdue. Will get more clarity after the 2nd round, but who are the biggest threats to our team?
Hope they feel the same way.Yes.
