This is funny! There is a heated debate on Frothers, complete with links, official stats, and charts, and they have detrmined that I SUCKED as a RB for the Canes! And thus I suck in general (a rebuttable presumption) "I only" averaged 6.6 yards per carry! According to Frothers! (it was a LOT less than that, more like 4 YPC, but they are….well…you know, pieces of , and have difficulty reading) Those s saw the RECEIVING yards per game at 6.6, as these are just , who couldn't tell the difference between YPC, YPR or GPA (much like Free Shoes Administration) Also falsely noted ZERO touchdowns! 17 TDs, to be exact! Big difference! They are actually debating how bad a 6.6 yard per carry average is for a RB in REAL football, and most determined that it is so bad, that said RB has ZERO standing as a human being. I bet if it was Altius, LOL, who gained 6.6 yards walking in a day, they would circle around him and….uh……."hug" him! :) Pretty sure that today, ANY college RB that averages 6.6 (or 4) YPC is a first round draft pick? I don't need to draw attention to myself! The socialists got this! :)
BTW, I won a NCAA National Championship in tennis. Those Uncle ers didn't bring THAT up, I notice. :) |

As much as it pains me to back you, I am minded to recall that 'Four yards per play will win the day' was a much used mantra until the increasing emphasis on the shotgun/spread set/West Coast Offense passing game. Also AFAIK for receiving the ideal is still RB's – 6yds per catch, Tight End's/Flankers 12 yds per catch and Split End's 18 yds per catch. Only top pro's come near those stats mind. |

Smokey Roan | 16 Aug 2014 11:25 p.m. PST |
Well, if it pains you to back me, by all means, don't! I do comend you on your analysis and knowledge. Well done.

I try not to make a habit of it. |
Smokey Roan | 16 Aug 2014 11:34 p.m. PST |
You would be an asset on the sports boards during football season. I know. Gotta get back to Altius and your chums on the Frothers, then, eh?
Well I say, that's just not crickett!
Too bad. Woulda loved you on the Sports Board. :(

The real question in my mind is "How much were they paying you?" It's not like the U was squeaky clean. |

OK what does this, What ever you are talking about, have to do with wargames? :-) Jules |
Frothers Did It And Ran Away | 17 Aug 2014 3:09 a.m. PST |
Oh, football. I thought you were going to yak about your expletive laden and homophobic rant against Altius and your offer to come and kick his ass and then chicken out when he let you know where and when you could find him. |
Princeps | 17 Aug 2014 3:24 a.m. PST |
I just had a look and it was one post that mentioned your stats , I don't think that qualifies as a "heated debate. " However, looking at your stats they were pretty good to be fair. |
sjwalker38 | 17 Aug 2014 4:57 a.m. PST |
I'm sure you know the Oscar Wilde quote, the one that starts "There's only one thing worse than being talked about…" And if, as Princeps says, it's only one post, methinks the man protests too much. |
Winston Smith | 17 Aug 2014 5:55 a.m. PST |
Altius has come to my (errr, the OFM's) defence on Frothers so I will do the same here. He lived in the area for a few months and was a semi regular at our games. He brought a case of Yuengling lager and do I will hear no calumnies against him. Basically on Frothers he said I was not as big a Yahoo in person as I am on line. I thought that was rather nice of him. . In fact he said I was often the voice of reason here on TMP. I call that rather selective reading… So I will return the favor and say he is a nice guy in person. Now, if you want bash ….. |

Is 'socialist' an insult these days? Just wondering. |
sjwalker38 | 17 Aug 2014 6:52 a.m. PST |
Not as much as 'Frother' I guess. |

@spacelord – was wondering the same thing. |

Facists like to call anyone who is not a Facist, a Commie or a SOCIALIST, as they think it is an insult, now I'm not saying horsehead is a Facist, but if it looks like a sheep and talks like a sheep…… |

Facists like to call anyone who is not a Facist, a Commie or a SOCIALIST, as they think it is an insult, Just like Commies and Socialists and other Enlightened Ones like to call anyone they do not agree with a fascist (small "c"). In their vernacular, a "fascist" is anyone who they disagree with and are just plain icky. |

Is calling people "" now allowed on TMP? I am beginning to think that my grandfather would have liked it here. Jurgen |
Weasel | 17 Aug 2014 10:57 a.m. PST |
So I just want to make sure I understand the TMP policy on personal attacks, using "gay" as an insult on a site that has LGBT staff working here and denouncing "undesirables" as "". |

I like pie, especially a four yard. Not sure I could manage 6 yards or so though. |
Smokey Roan | 17 Aug 2014 12:35 p.m. PST |
Are you not entertained? Personally, I am bored with this. Canes football starting up, two weeks of vacation started, need to build terrain, so I am fin with Frothers wars, fighting posters, ad nauseum. You guys continue by all means. Murphy, got any more popcorn? |
Knight of St John | 17 Aug 2014 12:37 p.m. PST |
What's the best type of pie ? I quite like cherry. |

OK, well, someone who knows Altius personally wrote me, said he's not a bad guy, and is not the "Juggalo". I always thought he was that juggalo guy from Austin, who is that guy then? Would have been a bit less harsh with him, but hey, he did, with ZERO provaction from me, arbitrarly start writing crap about me on other websites. I thought Altius was that overweight Juggalo? I hope he is NOT some small guy, would feel bad ragging on a little guy? Oh well. If he didn't start , there wouldn't be no . :) (That's my Ray Lewis impersonation)

6.6 yards a carry, gee Smokey you could have played in the CFL with that kind of record, 3 downs just like college. By the by, I like Key Lime Pie. |
Flecktarn | 18 Aug 2014 12:09 a.m. PST |
So, it appears that describing people as "" on TMP is acceptable as Smokeyroan is still posting. How very sad. Jurgen |
cat herder | 18 Aug 2014 4:02 a.m. PST |
Hi Jurgen, the reason that smokeyroan is still posting when someone like you or me or any other European would have been dog-housed is because he is one of the sacred circle of Bill's GOOD OLE fan BOYS, along with the other elite like OFM, Rebel Yell and Texas Jack. This is not a knee Jerk reaction, I have watched this and monitored it for several months, and there is definitely a two tier society on TMP. What the answer to this is I don't know,but it is NOT to quit and join Frothers. There are some great people on TMP and they have some fantastic knowledge and are the source and inspiration of my hobby, I won't let a few inner circle sycophants drive me away and stop me communicating with them. My advise to you is stay here (In my opinion you are one of the good guys) and either bite your tongue, or say what you want and do your time in the doghouse. There are two positives to the latter course, 1, you will get more painting done, 2, at least you won't have Smokeyroan and co for company. All the best, Glen. |
Flecktarn | 18 Aug 2014 4:03 a.m. PST |
Yes, Bill has confirmed that it is ok to call people "" if you make up a supposed, but non-existent, provocation. I guess that he is right; after all, nothing bad has ever been linked to calling people on the basis of a fabricated provocation, has it? Jurgen |
Flecktarn | 18 Aug 2014 4:07 a.m. PST |
Glen, Unfortunately, I have to agree with your view of what is happening on TMP. For me, the use of the term "" is way beyond anything that is acceptable; I realise that I am particularly sensitive to its use because of my family history but surely any rational and decent person should realise that its use is unacceptable.
