Busted? Really?!?
He greatly distorts my words and context and STILL doesn't make me look that bad.
Never called y'all a "cupcake" in ANY context btw. And yes, I said I didn't have any "love" for you, as in I'm not a fan and biased for you (I am a fan and biased for TU). But the context of the statement from which he quotes comes, literally, from a thread in which I proceed to defend y'all. I did say that Lafayette wasn't as cool of a cajun town as a hype....inasmuch as I work everyday in Thibodaux and am more impressed by that area. To each his own. I never said Lafayette X, Y, or Z in a negative way. Period. I just haven't. And as for ULL, I have to write that out every day at work, it is habit. I have avidly defended you against jerks who try to call you USL, and have said that I think of you as the best public university in Louisiana. Look it up.
I'm mad at myself for letting myself continue this, and I'm sure it'll lead to him going to try to find more quotes to try to "darn" me, trying to ensnare me to come back and defend some more, and drag this out. But instead I'm going to say this and let it go. yogwf.com Go read for yourself. You may not like everything I have to say, or agree with my opinions, but I have nothing to hide. I'm sure I have a TU bias just as I'm sure y'all have a Ragin' Cajun bias. But you won't find me hating on your school, or your fans, or anything like that. In fact, I've avidly defended your academics, your campus atmosphere, and I have been happy about your on the field exploits. I won't shed a tear if we destroy you on the field, any more than I'd expect you to shed a tear if you destroy us.
And Hammer? Stay classy.
Boy, I'm glad I'm not still on Hammer's bad side. At least not this week I don't think.
The statements come from several different threads. The "defense" he cites is from one thread in which he argues with several greenies who thought he did not exhibit enough of he required Toolame disdain for UL. An example of this "defense"is quoted below. That same quote also contradicts his claim that he considers us the best public university in the state.
"... if you'll notice, when I referred to ULL's academic and economic advantages over other members of the U of L system, I intentionally left out La Tech (with whom ULL does not have advantages). Depending on chosen major, I could easily see arguments that La Tech is the better school." Not exactly the ringing endorsement he portrays here.
And prof did use the word cupcake in describing Toolame's OOC conference opponents as a group. We are one of those opponents mentioned by him in the discussion. So I o not think that constitutes taking him out of context.
Classy? Always. Just ask Z.
