Just a thought on 06 FB record

Well yes and no. As for the book makers it is still a game of chance even given the inflated spread of teams like USC and UCLA if what you said is true and I'm sure it is. The odds makers set the spread to get 50% on both sides.

But for someone placing a bet, if you are astute enough to determine where the inflated spread is you have an edge and it is no longer a game of chance. This is why you see reports that tell what teams consistently beat the spread and consistently don't beat the spread.

Now you call me a commie. Yeah, that's better.

You just don't get it, do you? Violating Godwin's Law (using the Nazi analogy) is proof that you deserve to be banned.

Answer the question you keep evading... what do you hope to gain here? Do you hope to prove to us and have us all agree that KSU is the center of the sports universe?

I was just using those as examples of other groups that follow those steps as banning people. That does not mean you are a communist or Nazi. Besides i hardly doubt that banning someone to a flame board is in any way similar to banning someone to Siberia or a work camp. The big looming question yesterday that I supposidly kept avoiding was "why do you care what we think about Bama vs Rutgers". I answered that on post 220 something. You can look it up. Now after I answered that, I guess the question I am now avoiding is "what do i hope to gain here?" By the way it's the first time you or anyone else has asked that question so it makes it a bit difficult to evade it. Look back at my posts in this thread and check how many times I have refrenced KSU. I bet in the 200 in some posts on here I have refrenced them maybe 10 times. Not once did I ever use those refrences with respect to where i think KSU falls in ranking in the NCAA. So why would you think the point of this post is for me to convince you that KSU is the center of the sports universe?

I looked back at your first 8 or so messages in this thread and counted no less than 13 "KSU" or "we" references.

Why do you care what we think? Answer it.

And my point is that if they had played in week 1, week 3, or week 5 in Tuscaloosa or a neutral site, Rutgers likely wouldn't have been the favorite.

Look at post#221 the question is answered right there. It says in the white quote box above "Why do you care what we think on the issue?" Read my answer, print my answer, go get it tat of my answer (still not legal in OK is it?) and then finally be happy that I answered it a day ago.

How many of those KSU refrences did I write trying to push KSU as the center of the sports world as you put it. I think many of them stated the result of the OSU KSU game and the fact that it did not end on a final play of the game. How does that become twisted into KSU is the center of the sports universe?

Boy, you really have reading problems. Consider the following questions...

"Why do you care what we think?"

"Why do you care what we think on the issue?"

These two questions are similar, yet very different. One is refers to something very specific. The other is much more broad and global.

So, this thread started with you telling us what we should not think about our close losses last year. You have proceeded to tell us what our fan site is or is not, and what we should or should not think about several different things in this thread. So, I ask again, why do you care what we think? Because I'll tell you, I don't give a flying hoot on what folks on powercats.com or any other KSU fan site think. They are welcome to their opinion. Far be it from me to try to change it. You obviously care enough to try to tell us what to think. Why?

Answer the question.

So you want to know why I care about what you think on life in general, sports, social issues, etc.....? I dont really care. I take it as many others do that the purpose of message boards is to share ideas, opinions, and debate. That is what we are doing here. You are trying to convience me of something and I have done the opposite. It really is as simple as that. I won't go nutty if you don't, in the end, think the way I do. You have put a lot of time in here trying to prove my logic and thought process incorrect. I would assume that you to will not go insane if in the end I do not change my stance on whatever the topic might be.

When you say "our fan board" I would assume you mean OSU fan board right? The problem is, is that you can't control that becasue you don't charge for it. You have opened this site up to anyone who wants to post here. You have to expect people to come along with varying oppinions from time to time. Believe it or not, even people who do not support OSU. Gopowercat.com is a KSU fan board because you don't find to many fans of Florida State who want to pay to visit it. However, you could get a whole rush of Florida State fans posting on here in 2 hours from now and you can't do anything to stop it.

Gopowercat.com also has all of those features (can be banned) but has the added benefit of preventing opposing fans from visiting the site. Tell me, just curious, how hard is it for someone you have banned from gaining entrance back into a specific area of your site by using 4 clicks of the mouse and getting a new screen name?

What do you mean not stir up trouble? Do you mean use profane language, insult people? Or do you mean not agree with the thoughts of a majority of the members of the board? I have been banned to just this area of the board and I have in no way used profane language or personally attacked the members of this board. However, the opposite has been true for some of the other members of the board. The only thing I am guilty of on here is not agreeing with some of the thoughts of some of the other members. Where does it say in the acceptable use policy that you must not disagree with other members? Seems a bit odd.

You are talking out of both sides of your mouth, now. If this is true then why try to tell us what to think about our close losses? Why not simply tells us what you think about our close losses last year? No, you have another agenda, and you have once again evaded the question.

I think you will go nutty if we don't give you some kind of approval. Prove me wrong. Don't post another message on here in any thread about how good you think KSU is going to be. Prove me wrong.

You are absolutely, totally, and completely dead wrong here. This board may be free, but it is moderated. The moderators have banned folks before, and someone was banned recently. This thread was moved from the main sports discussion to the Flame board.

Moderators, prove it to him, banish him to the Flame board. Even if just for a day.

If I am talking out of both sides of my mouth than you are to. You have responded to almost everyone of my posts. Why do you do that when you don't care what i think? Their are plenty of people on here that have no problem not responding to me. Why do you? Answer that question.

When was the last time I started a post about how good I thought KSU was going to be? I would bet it was probably sometime right around signing day for BB. I did it because so many people said no way, does Beasley and the others actually show up on campus.

Can I get the refund in cash please? I am not interested in the line because I want to get right up against it. I feel I have been banned for just being a KSU fan not for what I have said as a KSU fan. Especially when I have absorbed the insults on here without reacting. If I would have lobbed that type of material at OSU fans on here then I would not have lasted a 1/2 hour. I respect your right to keep your sight clean. If I could just get some idea as to where I went wrong and why I was banned? Was it just on a whim or did I really cross a line?

If I were to guess, it would probably be right around the time you called us Nazis.
