[quote=“Niner National, post:57, topic:29372”][quote=“4ever niner, post:55, topic:29372”]Frankly, I never even read most of the post you are referring to wherein it was mentioned that Pierria had 5 steals last night and I damned sure didn’t quote it, so you are just seeing an insult not intended.

It’s my OPINION that Henry doesn’t give a crap if I think Basden was better or not. Neither should you. Not that big of a deal.[/quote]I just don’t really see the point in making the statement you made initially. We won a game by 25 f***ing points and probably played the best game we’ve played in a few years and you focus on marginalizing Henry’s accomplishment then shitting on Sullivan in your first two posts.

What’s the point in taking a shot at arguably the best player we’ve had since Basden/Withers and a guy that hasn’t even played in a game in almost 2 seasons?

Maybe neither post was malicious, but they absolutely come off that way and they had virtually nothing to do with last night’s game.

I thought we might actually have a good, positive post game thread for once since we didn’t really do anything poorly last night, but nah, I should set the bar lower I guess.[/quote]

Nice to know I wasn’t the only one reading them this way.

He certainly has a way with words, but I don’t say that in a complimentary way.

Didn’t watch or keep up with one minute of this game, but glad we won.

So glad that Sully played. I always thought he’d need to be a big deal for this team to be good.

Also, always good to hear from Eddie. Love that guy. And congrats to PH.

Line from a stand up comic I once saw.

My girlfriend and I broke up. It was a mutual decision. She and her girlfriend both agreed on it.

Enjoyable game, too bad most of you missed seeing it. Great to see Sullivan get a chance to play. He looked good with two left-handed moves to the basket. I’ll assume he’s left-handed. We can certainly use another front-line player.

Woods ran the point some even with Henry in the game.

We should also win the next two easily. Hopefully it will give us some momentum going to ODU.

Yea I already tried to be the bigger man and put it to rest and you couldn’t let it go. Walk away rather than resorting to inferring we’re acting like women.

Cedric Maxwell ws better than Thorne. There. I said it.

49er1 · January 31, 2015, 4:22am

Yeah, but look at all the cupcakes we played back then. : ??? :-\

[quote=“4ever niner, post:4, topic:29372”]Wonder how many steals PH would have against the competition Basden played against? I’m speculating not as many as Eddie had.

Speculate: 1a) to mediate on or ponder a subject
2b) to review something idly or casually and often inconclusively.

I chose that word on purpose. I should have defined it, but I assumed people on this board were familiar with it. I’m sorry I made that assumption.
I’ll try to be more clear in the future.

Yea, damn shame he wouldn’t get to pad his stats versus those awesome ECU, Tulane, So. Miss, and TCU teams of yesteryear.[/quote] This is you being “the bigger man” by implying that I’m an idiot for speculating Eddie would have had more steals. I suppose I should have let that go.

This is the last time I’m going to respond to your temper tantrum.

I didn’t imply you were an idiot. You’ve shown your ass enough in this thread. All I implied was that there are two sides to every coin. You romanticize the competition Eddie faced even though he played some real crap competition as well. I also pointed out how his teammates were better. I simply implied there’s more to it the competition. You were the one escalating it telling me to unknot my panties.

I was the bigger man when I said why don’t we just let it go and agree we’d both want Eddie and Henry in our defensive backcourt but you decided to continue.

I was the bigger man when I said why don’t we just let it go and agree we’d both want Eddie and Henry in our defensive backcourt but you decided to continue.[/quote] There are 2 sides to a coin. Please go back and read where I explained the definition of “speculate”. I used that word because, even though I think competition has something to do with the record, it can’t be proved one way or the other. You seemed to take that as a challenge of some sort and yes, you did imply I was an idiot for even daring to speculate.
You could have pointed out the bottom competition in CUSA1 in a much less snarky manner. You could have taken my point that if Eddie was on a strong team, he must have been the strongest of the bunch since he was player of the year, as opposed some other player ON HIS OWN TEAM.
I could have pointed out that your argument that being on a strong team may have helped him to get the award was valid, but not relevant, seeing as how no one else on the same team got that award. I decided to let that slide even though you again implied I was an idiot by saying “If you don’t know being on a good team helps in getting awards, I can’t help you”

I mostly let that stuff about nostalgia and childhood heroes slide, even though it was pure unadulterated snark and not factual.

Before you decided to “be the bigger man”, I pointed out that my opinion was really not that important to PH and should not be such a big deal to you.
I was, in fact, trying to let you “win”. I said about 3 times that I wasn’t attempting to denigrate Henry before you finally let that drop.

Characterizing other’s posts as “showing your ass” and "temper tantrums’ is not helpful. I apologize for using the sentence "Unknot your panties"
I should have said “calm down” or something similar. I do, however, believe my posts contained less snark and ad hominem arguments than yours.

I also believe I have the right to speculate about any damned think I want, because speculation is just, well, speculation. Please do not respond with some
ad hominem “speculation” to mock me, either.

Peace
