And there you go again. Just your MO my friend. Belittle me all you want. I am a big boy with a college education So I don't wan't or need any of this "holier than thou" from you. And I am sure as hell glad I didn't go to Auburn. But you keep thumping your chest all you want to, and beat on that drum a little more. Because, quite frankly to me, it is annoying.

You really don't get to lob a direct personnel attack while admitting you're either too uninterested or simply unwilling to even put forth a modicum of effort to understand another point of view and then act like you're the one being wronged when your argument is called out for being flaccidly lacking substance. Literally, your counterpoint was a rant against "big words" which seemed to suggest that people who use them are motivated to do so simply to belittle you. That's actually double weird when considering the big word that set you off was in a post that wasn't even directed at you. And jeeps, the big word that set you off consisted of all of two flippin' syllables.
PS: If you feel as if you've been branded as lacking a college education, you're the one railing against big words and the only one talking about whether you've earned a degree or not.
PS PS: In case it's too hard to use a dictionary:
mod·i·cum

a small quantity of a particular thing, especially something considered desirable or valuable:
"his statement had more than a modicum of truth"

UC and Savannah State have tipped off. College basketball season is underway!!!!!!
A brief stretch midway through the second half where it was too close for comfort for UC, but generally a comfortable win in game one. Good to have college basketball back again. Mostly garbage on tap tonight (Texas A&M and WV is pretty good), but the good matchups are coming soon. Duke/Michigan State and Kentucky/Kansas on Tuesday.
Jacob Evans is one to watch for the Bearcats. I think he has pro potential.
Nice to see the easy win for UC. Any idea on why Broome only played 20 mins?
I guess Archie Miller is on the hot seat one game in. Yikes.
Hmmmmmmmmm.........

So, the NCAA won't punish Carolina for having kids go to fake classes but they suspended a kid for a game for playing in a church league basketball game. How tone deaf can they be?
