Crappie, Tuttle, Indy, wings, Coke & colloquialisms

From the thread:

People just wanted to start shit. I've said 11-1 and haven't stepped back from it once. And I'll almost certainly be saying it at the beginning of the season (and offering a bet along with it). Yet the narrative you push is I've "backed up." But I'm the one spinning things? Get out of here.

 

I'd be more worried about the Zitka virus. From what I've read our zygotes wouldn't stand a chance

 

...5 pages in and I went back to the fridge for another beer.

....you could say I almost ran.

 

Indy - if you believed that we'd go 11-1, as you very clearly stated, and multiple times, then you'd take the bet.

If you needed a slew of caveats before taking the bet, why didn't you require the same before spouting your silliness?

That's the point.

 

Does this answer your question?

 

The problem is you don't know when to shut the **** up.

 

Scratch Dooz off the list.

 

I'm over it at this point. I look back on it and laugh, which was the reason for my initial post in this thread. A joke. To laugh. It's not my problem cotton got all shitty.

 

You'll eventually learn, man.

 

You didn't take the bet, that's stepping back

 

I didn't take the bet immediately on his terms. That's not stepping back.

 

There's nothing to learn. I know how this place works.

 

Has nothing to do with locale. More to do with the fact you can continue to be the low hanging fruit, or you can learn to quit giving more fodder.

 

I rest my case.

 

That was friendly advice.

 

Didn't say you were wrong.

 

Same thread gets posted on a UT board where no one knows anyone, and most people would have no problem whatsoever with me accepting the bet before the season rather than right this second.

 

I know. I just wanna go back on the list. I can do a lot better than that if I'm going to be taken off.

 

Has nothing to do with the bet at this point. If you truly don't give a shit, take the bet or quit responding about it. You came out guns blazing about 11-1. You were offered a bet and backtracked. It happens.

 

After further review, you are back on the list.

It's 3rd and 248 at Indy's 1 yard line.
