We Demand An Apology!

The other day, our compatriot Travis of the esteemed establishment Hammer & Rails, put forth an opinion on a number of teams being a bit overrated. In his opinion. One of those teams was Syracuse. A 'cuse site then publicized Travis' post and sent in the dogs after him. Some of them made valid points, most made obnoxious, antagonistic remarks.

In the end, the result was that Travis put up an apology. AN APOLOGY! For his opinion. Understand, he didn't insult anyone, he didn't curse at anyone, he said nothing about anyone's mother. He simply gave his opinion. Which is what bloggers do.

I sincerely hope when Syracuse flames out before they should (as they always do, except for the one time Carmelo Anthony carried them to a title) that the 'cuse chest-thumpers who came after Hammer and Rails can offer their own apology.

(Oh, and by the way, SYRACUSE LOST TO A DIVISION II SCHOOL THIS YEAR. This is not up for debate. They lost. To a D-2 school. LOST. I don't care that it was exhibition. Syracuse should not lose to a D-II school if they're on a playground playing with only four players. There is no excuse for that. So stop it.)

In the meantime, I'd like to point out that dear Travis made a prediction on the Purdue-MSU game the other night. And that prediction? MSU 72, Purdue 68.

That's right. He picked against our Boilermakers. And I've decided that this is a sign of disrespect. And as such:

WE DEMAND AN APOLOGY!!

I apologize for reading this site.

I demand an apology from Boiled Sports for picking against Purdue last year in O$U game. Coach Hope wants an apology as well.

I aslo want an apology for the weather. Why is the east coast getting all the snow that we should be getting out here. Totally unacceptable!

I, too, would like to apologize for Drew Brees having more Super Bowl victories than Donovan McNabb. I'm sure Drew would share his Super Bowl ring because he's that kind of guy.

Dear father for I have sinned,

I am sorry I ever doubted the decisive schematic advantage of Charlie Weis. I also made fun of the holy banners that hang in the sacred Assembly Hall.

Please forgive me, I'm just a lost Purdue soul.

SU lost to UL at home this weekend.. Purdue won at MSU.. That is what makes College BB so much fun to follow. On any given night anything can happen.

Now, if you want to talk most overrated team in the country right now is WVU, IMHO.
