re: Your school's first round NFL Draft selections since 1992

I am embarrassed for you.

Read the thread homie. Between the thread I linked and this one, it's been explained several times. 1992 is probably one of the least arbitrary time frames I could have selected.

How can there be so many people with so little knowledge of the history of their own conference? Maybe the TAMU and Missouri fans get a pass on this... But not South Carolina fans. Take a wild guess as to what year South Carolina played their first year of football in the SEC.

Yeah ... homie. lulz. Sometimes I feel like I am taking candy from babies. And I cited the date Tulane officially left the SEC, for effect, homie. Thanks for taking the bait.

I am embarrassed for you.

Arbitrary is arbitrary when you include Mizzou and A&M's numbers dating back to 1991 OR '92 (but I'll get to that later)... or would you rather simply refer to your choice of dates as random?

My seemingly random/arbitrary reference to 5'10" Caucasian guys in 1966, which was a salute to my Washington Redskin's pick of Charlie Gogolak that year ... 5'10" 165. Yeah, he was the inspirational Hungarian name for Princeton dropout and huge football fan, script writer Mitchell Kapner's "The Whole Nine Yards" character (Janni Gogolak played by Kevin Pollack) which Kapner, at the time, noted the '66 draft would be the last year a 5'10" white man would be drafted in the 1st round. He said that after seeing the number of huge men, many from the SEC, who were drafted that year in the first round ... although most of them would not seem "huge" to us now.

So again, what is it that you are schooling me on homie?

And how can you be that ignorant of the definition of the word "arbitrary" while admitting your chosen date was arbitrarily chosen with the Mizzou and A&M caveat? It's like you are either trying to justify your arbitrariness (sic) or you are employing the logic of a woman - I'm not sure which?

Now, do you understand my arbitrarily chosen date of the day Tulane departed the SEC to counter your arbitrarily chosen date? Or would you have preferred, or even recognized, June 11, 1964 ... the day Ga Tech withdrew from the SEC? .... I mean you are such an SEC historian and all homie.

Oh, and with regard to SC's first official SEC game, it was early September of '92 vs UGA. I was there. We had our asses handed to us. But guess what, the NFL draft had happened a few months earlier in '92, before SC or Ark ever played their first SEC game ... so again, I say, how much more arbitrary could you have made this? I mean the SC and Arkansas players who were drafted in '92 never played a single game as members of the SEC.

Are you capable of even comprehending what I am attempting to convey here?

Again, thanks for taking the bait and I am still embarrassed for you.
