I'm not taking the debate in any direction: I was always there.

As for the rest of your comment, it's nonsense. And typical of the nonsense raised by THE-0, the SEC, and other "schools" which have no interest in education. Once you retreat to your position, what you're saying is "you are able to graduate 30% more of the blockheads we both bitterly recruited. What does that say the academic quality of your school versus mine?"

Duh. Everything, genius.

Yes, I was the captain of my high school debate team, and we were in the state finals both my junior and senior years. And yes, derision is a legitimate form of debate when you're dealing with morons.

...except who was talking about education in the first place, Fred...? I only made the unassailable point that OSU has a better football team than PSU...you dragged education into it...

Once you retreat to your position, what you’re saying is “you are able to graduate 30% more of the blockheads we both bitterly recruited. What does that say the academic quality of your school versus mine?”

...well now, Fred, you’re not being on the up and up...you’re having me say things which I did not in fact say...it’s immaterial to my argument whether a school graduates more of these sought after blockheads, and therefore I said nothing of what you have ‘quoted’ me as saying...my original point, on which you challenged me with an ad hominem, again is that OSU football is better than PSU football, and will be for a while...2 games to one better for the past twenty two years...

Duh. Everything, genius.

..since I didn’t say what you said I said, Fred, your response here is to your own point...

Yes, I was the captain of my high school debate team, and we were in the state finals both my junior and senior years.

...well good for you, Fred...I retract my acerbic comment regarding the school debate team...

And yes, derision is a legitimate form of debate when you’re dealing with morons.

...sigh...ad hominems again...and we were making such progress...as I suspected, we cannot have a dialogue on Penn St. issues unless they are structured to your points of view, lest you resort to the low ground...look, if you are a grad, I understand your heartfelt loyalty to PSU, and I admire it, and in a way envy it, as I had no campus experience per se, and have no such innate loyalties directing my opinions...and so, with well wishing I bid you adieu...

,,,but don’t be surprised if you see Urban Meyer hoisting the national title flag shortly...
