Actually, I did, and said as much on Rivals message board. It's what triggered the ensuing fight that reminded me why I hated TSUN so much from the 80's, and started a war with their fans that has me the most-hated poster on that board for TSUN fans.

I had actually softened my stance on them after decades of being away from home after graduation. I was even complementary about them in 2008, making posts about how underrated they were and predicting they were going to easily handle Texas Tech in the CB.

But the following year, after watching a few games, I stated they were a little overrated that year, and that I thought we were actually better, despite our record, and would beat them in the Egg Bowl. The moment I said the slightest thing uncomplimentary about OM, their fans went ape-shit on me, getting highly personal and ugly, a few so much so that they were banned from Rivals.

That delusional bunch is a real piece-of-work. As long as you say nice things about them, you're a good dude, but the moment you say, even respectfully, anything critical of their team, they can't just disagree or debate you, they feel the need to destroy you personally, attacking, not your comments, but YOU. They make it, again, personal and ugly. They aren't capable of winning an argument on the merits, so they relentlessly attack the messenger, rather than the message.

That was the year I got reminded why I justifiably hated those arrogant, obnoxious, delusional a-holes all those years ago. I will never again forget or tamp down on my hate for those morons.

GTHOM! GTHUNM!
