Alright AssHole, you bothered to flame me...  Fine.  Explain what 
"mindless talks" I have engaged in??  Have I ever had a senseless, 
non-factual Woof post??  While I may attempt to make claims as to
who is #1, etc.., I always base it on factual data.  While you may
or may not agree with the facts I present, and in fact, could probably
come up with your own facts to support your claim, I resent the 
classification from such an ass..  The 'Canes have not been doing
much trash talk lately, and haven't been penalized like in past years.
And, though all schools have their mindless woofers, I would tend to
think I am not one of them.  In fact, the numerous comments I have 
received to that effect tend to back that thought.  I may be a 'Canes
backer (as well as a Purdue fan..), but I dare you to show the "mindless"
talk.

The post you were responding to, as well as the whole thread, had to do with
Alabama and Michigan.  It had nothing to do with UW or Miami.   And, if you
want to get into a debate about who's #1, I can do that to.  However, it 
won't be just a "my team is better than yours", but I would post comparisons
between the two teams, stats/facts/figures to support my claim.  Could you
do the same??  Probably not, you would just give me the standard bullshit
woof...

This wasn't "negative advertising"... Wake up and actually follow a thread
to determine what it is about before you shit all over the place.  Purdue is
not a "piece of shit", they are my Alma Mater and have played pretty well at
times.  They are not a powerhouse team though.  Neither is TCU.  This wasn
NEVER a comparison between the schedules of Miami and Michigan, and that is
good, as Miami (as well as Washington) have had much tougher schedules than
Alabama or Michigan.  It is not the schools fault..  Michigan schedules ND,
Ok. State, and Houston out of conference, which in most years would be a very
respectable listing... You don't fault the team for having a poor schedule,
however, when trying to determine which team is playing better, and all the
Michigan fans claiming how great their team was (ok, not all of them, and their
team is pretty damn good) and then criticizing the 'Bama fans for saying they
deserved more respect, I decided to look at the issue more closely.  Yes,
Michigan has looked impressive in most of their games.  But not that much more
than Bama has.  And, Michigan hasn't played as tough a schedule (neither have
faced a tough schedule), so it was easier to look good.  This doesn't mean that
Michigan isn't a good team, just an untested team.  Same with Alabama.  
The difference is the 1 tie.  Even with exactly even competition, Michigan
has 1 game that it did not win, 'Bama has won all of its.


Anyway, you want to flame someone who posts something like
"Bama...Bama... Bama...", fine..  I dislike the senseless woofing as well.
Expect that those that say
"Big Blue.. Big Blue.. Big Blue.." should get flamed as well.  

My point was that I am neither a supporter or hater of either team, and thus
feel I can look at things a little more objectively.  You still may not
agree with my conclusions or analysis, but at least I am not biased towards
either team.
