New series with Baylor

[molly jabali]

In the conference realignment thread (now titled American Athletic Conference), you'll find a couple of pages of Caddyshack quotes. I thought it was quite entertaining even though others didn't see that as humorous.

I LIVE for the offbeat tangent.....:)

Cotangent unfairly gets a bad name. Being more of a structured guy in my advanced age, I'm more of a secant type.

Baylor is a poser team who can't hang for 40 minutes with truly tough teams. Should be a sweep.

[WuDrWu]

If to escape poser status a team is going to have to be better than ranked in the top 25 EVERY year for the last 10 seasons, win 11 NCAA tournament games in 7 appearances and average 24.3 wins over those 10 years, then roll call for the non-posers on our (or anyone's) schedule isn't going to take long.

I'm not saying they don't put up quality numbers that wouldn't help RPI, SOS, etc. I'm just saying the personality of that team doesn't have what it takes to be elite.

It's weird seeing posers call other teams posers, especially when it couldn't be further from the truth.

What do you suppose I'm posing as? I've accused Baylor of posing as a National Title contender. On the surface they may look like it to some, but in reality they have no chance. They repeatedly crumble under the bright lights. I don't think they even have it in them to get to the final 4. With their talent, they would've by now if they were going to. Do everyone a favor and quit trolling me, you troll.

**** off, poser.

**** off, poser.

All you can do is come back at me with my own insult? Get a life. Get off my posts.

Define elite. Is Villanova elite? Because they just got beat by FORTY.

Top 5 quote. Use it all the time.

"I don't even know what would have to happen for us to get beat by forty."

Interesting perspective to add to things like the OSU game last year. The narrative is that WSU got destroyed (and we'll all admit that it was not close and not something we're used to seeing happen to a Marshall team). But at the end of the day, it was a 17 point loss. How does one lose by 23 more points than that?

Oklahoma State did let off the gas a little bit towards the end...because that's what teams usually do in blowouts. The way they played that night, I'd hate to see what a true 40-minute effort would have been.

I think you needed to add a couple more FORTYs because I seem to remember it being repeated for emphasis.

They got a ring too. Maybe that's the trick. Lose by 40 to win championships!
