Official Argument Thread

[Bob Sienicki]

You know, I've been plenty guilty of arguing a lot both here and over at OGFP over the years. And despite my overblown sense of self importance at such times, somehow I knew all that arguing was pointless.

As in p-o-i-n-t-l-e-s-s, if you know what I mean.

Anyway, like a number of you, I have to admit it's a little frustrating to come online to see a new intriguing thread started up regarding something we're all interested in, just to have to sift through all the arguing to cull out a few tidbits of useful information.

So if you don't mind, I am starting the "Official Argument Thread" hoping that many of you who feel the need will transfer your unrelated opinions from the more targeted threads and freely post them here, ad nauseum.

Or you can take this post for what it is.

I was okay with the first paragraph, but your spelling of "pointless" really sucks! I mean really, do you not think we can spell "pointless"? WTF?

 

[BoilerAndy]

I was going to say, "IU SUCKS!"

But given the purpose of this thread, no one here would argue with that. Except for the people who suck. And we know who they are, hanging on our every word.

So I'll save it for another thread.

Damn it, Bob! I don’t find this one bit credible. Stop shilling for Morgan. IU troll. I’m a better Purdue fan than you. Painter needs to make better adjustments. Why do we still not know who the starting QB is? The black seats! We’ll know more tomorrow. MAGA

We can't have an official argument thread until we establish the credentials to be official and define clearly what an argument is to differentiate between an argument and a disagreement to determine the importance in trying to discern whether it should be official or not?

I think we should approve this in the next three months or just prior to Kennedy's replacement!

 

[BoilerIron]

I disagree with this thread entirely. I don't know how the OP could come to the conclusion that this type of thread was necessary. Anyone else who thinks this was a good idea is wrong too...

I could not disagree more - this thread is absolutely necessary so that these silly arguments do not take over a legitimate thread. And, by the way, I am almost never wrong and certainly not in this case.

 

[Do Dah Day]

Well, Iron is in already, steel isn't yet ... not official and not beneficial, yet. where is boiler85????

Anybody got any chewing gum?

Glad to see you made it.

Well, I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken!

Chili from both Cinncinati and Texas is disgusting.....

And....

GOOOOOOOOooooo!!!

 

[DannyGranger]

Is really bad.

But I think it's just that there isn't enough normal dialogue to drown it out

LET'S START A NEW THREAD ABOUT THIS IN ALL CAPS.

LET'S START A NEW THREAD ABOUT THIS IN ALL CAPS.

First, at my age you need to speak louder. Can you make the font big enough to see...damn youngsters!

 

[PU52Chevy]

Are we ever going to play zone...….their I said it...Ha Ha

You old people are always making it harder on us younger lot and don't understand us!

Wait... I need to make sure you can hear me

YOU OLD PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS MAKING IT HARDER ON US YOUNGER LOT AND DON'T UNDERSTAND US! (tic).

 

[BBG]

Are we ever going to play zone...….their I said it...Ha Ha

Great now you've done it....

 

[IndySouthsider]

Need Kesselschmeide to tell us how stupid we are for having an opinion that Matt might not be perfect, and possibly deserves a wee bit of the criticism some give him.

 

[tjreese]

Purdue has played ZONE for sometime. Purdue just initially aligns with an assigned player if the opponent is not pushing the ball enough to prevent desired matchups and then guards people in their areas and helps others in a different area when the ball is not a threat. Purdue many times will not leave their area, but handoff a player that may have an advantage if not handed off or switched as he leaves the previous area. Now, I can show you why Purdue always played man as well.

I'm waiting for the younger lot to say something worth trying to understand.

Well how would you know if we do if you don't understand to begin with? It's like the chicken and the egg all over again!

Information for you to digest. The older I got, the smarter my dad got. You need to be more patient and observant. That is why you don't think old people understand you.

Okay my post was completely sarcastic. That is why there was the 'tic'.

 

[Glock33boiler]

I disagree with all. We are never going to win a NC with out a 5* or zone and with Painter at the helm. My sisters mother in laws friend says so.

 

[Do Dah Day]

'cuz I am willing to "try" to understand. The egg never tried, the chicken tried her hardest. and eggs are less expensive in a duty free zone defense. so the height of their emotions during reproductive sexual activities leads one to believe that passion is a requisite for being a great player.

This is way too civilized. Where is Wolegab when we need him...

That's nonsense! All Purdue has to do is score more points than the opposing team in every game...it has noting to do with 5* or zone. It is all about making baskets and it begins with a stretch 4. All of Matt's good teams had a good stretch fours and that tells us Purdue can't begin to be good without a good stretch 4 every bit as much as modeling predictions predict outside the data whether related to global "things" or the age of things. So a great stretch 4 that is a 5 star while contributing to scoring more points than the opposition may compensate for not playing zone in the pure sense if "unpure" zone in another sense. Course this was at a time that AP history material coverage included years before 1450. That in itself makes this "less filling" and should serve notice about preconceived ideas as a function of how full your stomach is.

you obviosly have too much flower taste lingering on your tongue. Taste a dogfish head, two hearted, arrogant bastard... but, but, but, you must, prior to, scrub your tongue with your toothbrush .... until it bleeds ... then wait until it stops... then drink at least 16oz of water ...

Psycho-babble, all of it! Please let's reserve this thread for real arguments. Like who's a troll and who isn't.

The nature of this suggestion tells me you are a troll. Probably serving up hamburgers right now. Just troll somewhere else.
