Now I see why you and I get along so good Creek. I could use a lot of what you just posted when speaking of a certain eastern county in Nc hsfb fans. I won't go there though because the whole BAR (as you stated) would gang up on me lol.Sooo….anyway….years ago…
Me and Coach was sitting in a hotel bar watching the ACC tourney. In fact there were 20 of us Maidenites and maybe another 20 from all over the USA. You see…it was spring at the beach and the college baseball teams were in town. California, Ohio, NY…etc etc.
I made a statement at our table…that eventually caused a heated debate throughout the entire bar. It was ME against them ALL!!
Even the smart ass bartender turned down the volume on the TV to put his two cents in.
I simply said…..NC State is better than their record. They all ganged up on me…led by the Old Rat himself…..as they all said….No one is better or worse than their record. You are what your record is…no better! no worse! You are..and own…. your record! Blah! Blah! Blah!
I said that is ridiculous!…and used examples to support my argument. But…they wouldn’t budge! It went on for half an hour….and they all gave me hell the rest of the weekend. I still struggle with it….because I know others feel the same way I do…and it’s evidenced by the way most responded to Shelby’s record this season….especially those East boys….if y’all were 3-7….they’d still say…”I’m taking Shelby until proven otherwise”😂
Yet….I guarantee…there are those on these threads who believe that Shelby shouldn’t have been ranked in the top 10 all year and feel that Shelby was simply just another 7-5 team….just their record…no better…no worse.
For the record…I do not!
I was just wondering how you felt about it because you remind of some of those hard heads I run with.
I’m sure…the entire bar will chime in….hoping you do as well.
