What's comical to me about this 7th grader is that he actually thinks he's winning this argument. You'd have to be a bigger buffoon that I previously thought humanly possible to think that you are in any way getting the best of this argument RV. Here we go again. Round and round. Where your idiocy stops, nobody knows.
1. What you are trying to argue is that there are lots of schools that care about basketball more than football. Your arguments are unfounded and unfactual. There is a difference between schools who have great programs in basketball and good fan bases for the sport and that somehow meaning the sport is more popular than football on their campus. Again, all you have to do is look at attendance, revenue and television audience to know which sport the fans of each of these school cares about the most. The only schools I'll give you are UNLV, Duke and possibly NC. I can guarantee you and I'm sure the numbers will back me up on this that football is still more popular at Syracuse and Louisville than basketball is. Look it up. I gaurantee you the numbers will show a higher viewing audience for their football games.
2. RV, if you don't want to be called a bigot, well then don't make bigotted inferences like I have a "holier than thou attitude", when I've never mentioned religion or spirituality. This is something you BYU bashers just love to do. Pretend that if we defend our team and call you a moron, etc that somehow means we're "holier than thou", based on the fact that BYU is associated with Mormonism. You started that war bud, not me. Yes I would rather you say stuckup, arrogant, cocky. All things that I am and not ashamed in the least bit. I could say the exact same thing about you and 90% of the UNLV fans I've run across in these forums. Holier than thou is not a real intelligent term to use when talking with a BYU fan, because the assumption is you're lumping religion into it.
3. So once again, in your feeble mind a team that basically plays even with a team they are not favored to beat and losing in the last minute or two choked? In the words of Jim Carey. "Man, you are one pathetic loser!" Maybe its a pattern, maybe its not. What I see is a team that is getting matched up against teams that take advantage of their weakness and that is big, physical post players. Xavier and A & M both had that. I see UNLV getting matched up against teams in the first round that don't have that eliment. Once again, if you knew anything about basketball, you'd know that not every team matches up well, whether they are favored or higher seeded or what have you. You calling BYU chokers is disingenous and sophmoric at best.
4. Of course its not your fault where the tourney is played. Nobody said it was. It is however your fault for pretending that its not a huge advantage for your team and pretending anyone who loses to you in the tourney is a choker. I have never had a problem with the tourney being in Vegas. My problem is idiots like you who think that winning the tourney on your own homecourt is a bigger accomplishment than winning the regular season title. You didn't have to win those games on your homecourt. Sure it helps, but every bracket expert I saw, had your team in regardless. Quit trying to spin it like its not an advantage for you. Its just ridiculous fo UNLV fans to try and spin it that way. Sorry nobody's buying that bill of goods over here.
What I love about UNLV fans is your last statement about shots at UNLV football not bothering you. That's the exact reason BYU fans, especially myself have zero respect for your fanbase. You're a bunch of fair weather buffoons. Nobody's going to take you seriously as a fanbase until you fully support both programs. The MWC needs UNLV to improve its football program and stop losing to teams like Utah St and Nevada every year. Something tells me that's never going to happen, because in UNLV fans minds, its always "don't talk to me about football, its March".
PS: RV, I'm going out of town so I won't be able to respond until Monday. Just letting you know, since you said you were going to be here "ALL DAY baby ALL DAY".
