Your attempting to appeal SOLELY to referential authority using a guy that no one knows (unless you just loved Sports Illustrated, I guess or golf) by giving his title, which no one respects because they don't know him or know why he is qualified to speak on the SECs history other than he works at a place that might do that, using a quote that doesn't support your major or minor premise and doesn't demonstrate anything.

For instance, if I told you Rod Dickwell from American Prosperity, Inc. says that if you take on large amounts of debt and hope for the best you will likely become rich. Then he went on to say, I'm not even sure what other methods you'd rank up there with it, obviously I'd win the argument on how to become rich, right? That's what you have done. It is funny.

That's a good point. I should have said no one under the age of 40 knows unless they are a golf enthusiast or an SI-phile. My bad.

You know, after seeing UF's recruiting class this year... I am getting more on board this permanent opponent shite.
