Sigh.

It sure is a good thing that the words I used weren't "I could say the same thing about MSU," then, isn't it?

No, a strict reading of my post does not carry that message. Because the words I used were not "I could say the same thing." The words I used were "I could say a similar thing." And, as you can see from Wu's post, I would only have to change four words out of 27 to make the point that I actually intended. That's 15%. That looks pretty similar to me ;)

Stop doubling down. You're not going to get the argument you want from me, because that was never close to my point.

You're right. MSU finished in the lower half of a different and less competitive conference last year.

Ag's entire point was that a conference change makes it erroneous to predict Loyola's performance in the Valley. This is in no way "similar" to predicting an upward trajectory for an MSU team that will be competing in the same conference.

You're right. There is absolutely nothing similar about predicting two teams that were very bad last year but also very young and hurt by injuries to both improve this season.

I don't know what I was thinking.

Stop focusing on the change of conference angle. That wasn't my point. You're making yourself look foolish.
