Do the two of you need me to provide the definition of fact? Saying aTm was close is not a fact, it's an opinion.


Opinions can be flat out wrong:

For example:

I think Gigli is the greatest movie ever made and has the greatest individual acting performances in the history of mankind.

Are you Ags really trying to argue that you were "close" to a title in a year that you finished in 3rd place? 8 points = 100 points when you're a loser. Close means absolutely nothing. We ain't talking about hand grenades.

Typical Aggie celebrating a moral victory, but not an actual one.

You lost @ home to UF. You lost @ home to LSU. And everyone was so impressed by A&M beating (almost choking to) Bama the week after OT with LSU that Bama was in the National Championship about a month later. Grats.

If you think that isn't close... well then... sorry but you dumb


One more time, you played Bama, along with several other teams, after you lost to LSU and UF. Had you won either of those games then the aTm-Bama game is MUCH more significant. Therefore, it's safe to assume that game, along with the rest of the season, would have played out much differently. If you can't grasp that, then I'm sorry. It's really isn't that complicated.

2nd place.

I'll never understand why LSU fans want to lay claim to 2nd so bad.

If you want to apply Ricky Bobby logic of if you ain't first you're last then there is no need to tell any team that "they didn't even sniff" an sec west title because by your definition NOBODY can do that.

And facts can be irrefutably backed up with proof. Which claiming Aggie was "close" in 2012 cannot.

Yea I think A&M would have still beaten Bama b/c Saban at that point had no clue how to stop the A&M offense for shite.

Even in year two with him prepping for it all summer A&M still dropped 42 points on them.

So, you want to use head-to-head to differentiate between 1st and 2nd, but not 2nd and 3rd? Whatever fits your agenda, I guess.

If you can point me to the SEC 2nd place tiebreaker rules I'll be glad to concede.

Yeah, assuming Bama would have approached that game the same if it had been, essentially, the SEC West championship game isn't ridiculous either. Wow.

True if you want to argue semantics then it is not a "fact" because "being close" is not a definable term. I think one win away is close for some reason you don't.

Your OPINION that A&M was not close is the equivalent of thinking Gigli is the greatest movie ever. It's asinine

Really?

That's cute.

Which is exactly why it's your opinion, and not a fact. I'm glad to see you're getting it.

Almost as cute as you thinking they would have approached that game the same.
