Some of you spend way too much time in your daily lives talking to UMiss fans. I would try to limit that as much as possible. 2c
Holy shit, if they are that talented and the greatest of all time, why didn't they run us off the field last year, when we had all of our best lesser talented players playing??? Oh wait, we had our 3rd string true Freshman playing QB and held their mighty offense to 3 points. Mizzou (undertalented also) held those bitches in check also. Keep looking at stars and not actual results.
How can y'all expect people to detect the sarcasm without the asterisks? I knew he was but I am also familiar with Engie's posting habits/style/personality. If you don't want people to get confused when you're being sarcastic use asterisks. When you don't and they do get confused and then you blast them for being an idiot. Well you're just being an asshole at that point. People aren't mind readers. They can only read what you put and take it for what it says as being what you meant and not sarcasm. Expecting people to detect your sarcasm is being quite cun+y imo. Now that said I am guilty of this myself so don't throw stones in a glass house myself included. When you don't use asterisks you have taken away your right to call people stupid because it's fu@king stupid to expect people to detect your sarcasm without them.
Wow. You still don't get it.
Sometimes it is just so obvious.
I mean, consider the nature of this board. Would anyone here, anyone at all, heap that much praise on them? They'll be a pretty good team and have a handful of great players, but no one here believes that they will be world beaters, much less challenge for the west crown. When it is that obvious, you really have no excuse.
Look at these posts
Do you think that anyone who posts on ED would actually believe this? While we are not the frothing Jim Jones-esque lunatics that the OM boards portray us as, we certainly have no love for Ole Miss and none of us think that they are a double digit win team. Even those who are leaning in that direction because they are stuck in the poor ole missy state mindset, they don't ever do it with any enthusiasm.
You were included in that.
Nope. I am pretty sure he was calling the lot of you dumb.
No. That post was for real. The ones you idiots are still arguing against were the sarcasm...
Here's the deal. This board was formed to allow MSU people to post/discuss things between themselves. It was also formed to help them THINK for themselves by allowing MSU fans to set their own perception. This was necessary because FAR too many MSU fans allow "OM fans" to set their perception of MSU for them. As long as this continues on any level whatsoever -- we are eternally their BITCH no matter how many times we beat them.
So -- what is more advantageous for MSU -- pointing to OM's "reality" which is very similar to ours and in which they likely reach their goals again and consider themselves still on the path to eventually destroy us thus staying on the high horse. Or playing into the hype -- helping them believe it, when they only need a LITTLE push for this in general -- and then watching them jump from the cliff and quit on another coach when reality hits? You tell me.
If I put sarcasterisks -- that makes the sarcasm obvious to EVERYONE -- and doesn't allow the post to have it's desired effect. I had hoped ELITEdawgs were smart enough to see what I was doing and reason through the goal -- but obviously it was a gross overestimation.
