The "Outrageously Idiotic Past the Point of Comprehension" Statements Thread

Wasn't sure where to put this but props to true for completely and utterly failing to understand what I was actually attempting to explain by saying we had a championship-caliber defense in 2006.

Yep, we lost to USC 28-10. I guess holding them to 28 wasn't good enough huh. Umm....holding Texas to 20 would have resulted in a tie bud, we had 20, Texas had 22....damn, if only that Kevin Cosgrove National Championship Caliber defense had been able to hold them to 19.....derp, derp, derp...Oklahoma, he'll of a game. We held em to 21! Wow, too bad we scored 7! Geez you support your arguments don't you, no matter how dumb it sounds. All losses so far. Auburn, yep....we held them to 17......so we only lost that one 17-14.
I almost laughed out loud as I typed Kevin Cosgroves National Championship Caliber Defense. Probably the same NC caliber defense we had in 2011, 2012, and 2013......you know, when the offense scores 41 and the defense allows 38, it doesn't mean we played good defense, it just means we scored more points than them. When the offense can't score, games can become what they call a defensive battle. That's where two tough defenses will limit each others offenses. So is what you are saying is that Bill Callahans and Jay Norvells offenses were the problem?



At this point I don't know what we are talking about anymore. I found it amusing that you chose 4 losses from that season in your argument to display how great a defense we were. That's all. You win. Congrats. Way to go 2006 Huskers Defense on your honorary National Championship Caliber trophy! Presented by Landlord of Questionable Logic.

It's ok to blame Bo's bad defenses for losses the last three years, but when Callahan and his offensive genius failed to do it's part when the defense was actually pretty good, it's still the defense's fault.

Or i just really dont understand.

 
Oh I disagreed with your point, so I'm an idiot again. Okay. Geezus people. Landlord, you're hardly worth my time anymore man. Just being honest.

Count, when Bos defenses sucked, I blame Bo's defenses. When the offense sucked, I blamed Shawn Watson. So I call BS on your comment. Bo doesn't coach offense.

 
You want me to say the 2006 offense was to blame? Because if we had "National Championship Caliber Defense" then a "National Championship Caliber Offense" would have resulted in a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. Following so far? So let's see...

Loisiana Tech - 49-10

Nicholls State- 56-7

Troy-56-0

Kansas-39 - 32 (OT)

Iowa St. 28-14

Missouri-34-20

Texas AnM - 28-27

Colorado - 37-14

Gee...that's some National Championship Caliber offense right there! Look at those scores! Man, combine that with that 2006 National Championship Caliber Defense! Holy Smokes were arreeee the Championsssss my friendssss........and we'll keep on fighting. Tilllll the end........

Wait, what?

USC-28-10 loss

Texas 22-20 loss

Oklahoma St. - 41-29 loss

Oklahoma - 21-7 loss

Auburn - 17-14 loss

Hardly fair to call that offense worthless, I mean look at those scores above. National Championship Caliber offense. Oh, but when we played a team wi a pulse on offense, Texas AnM, Missouri, Kansas, USC, Texas, OKLAHOMA STATE, Oklahoma.....those numbers kind of went up a bit huh? So what world do you live in where we call Callahans offense a National Championahip Caliber offense for dominating Louisiana Tech, Nicholls State, and Troy? So why is it fair to crown the defense for dominating the lesser opponents on the schedule? Get real man. National Championships aren't won by losing to every ranked opponent you played all year.

 
I'm so confused right now... True are you arguing that the defense wasn't any good, or what? This is just a perplexing debate. The Defense appears to be pretty good but the offense seems to be lacking based on the scores.

So is Landlord?
Z, I really don't think I could be much clearer than I was above. Count and LOMS called the 2006 Nebraska defense "National Championship Caliber". I disagreed. You can go through a lot of teams seasons and pick games they may have played very good defense. As I listed above, look at the scores and the opponents. Make your own judgement. In some games, we played good offense. Some games we played good defense. Neither was consistent throughout the season. National Champions don't lose 5 games in a season. Blame the offense for underperforming, or blame the defense, either way at one point or another in that season, both sides of the ball showed an ability to play at a high level, but mostly against weak teams. To me, that says maybe we weren't quite as good as Count and LOMS think we were. After all, they are the ones that said "National Championship Caliber". So now I'm an idiot because I disagree. Which again, is a flawed argument in itself.

Actually true my original comment was that the '06 defense was playing championship caliber defense by the end of the year. Which they were. Hence the reason for there to be no heat on coz at that time. He wasnt gonna be fired after '06. After '07 was too for all of em. So the stretching of my original statement has gone on long enough.

That's what I gathered before, seems reasonable enough. But I would also have to agree with Count, they did improve as the year went on as a championship caliber team ought to do.

Still going with the false accusation that I called the defense "national championship caliber" eh - one extra word in there that i have never added in.

the point is that we played good enough defense to win against the championship caliber teams that we faced, but our offense didn't show up. and the bigger picture point is that giving up 21 to oklahoma and giving up 17 to auburn did not have cosgrove on any kind of a hot seat whatsoever.

So to recap - never said national championship caliber. Never called you an idiot. Gave good evidence why our defense was championship caliber by playing well against championship caliber teams. Everyone that has commented on the topic has agreed with accountability and myself, and been confused by what you have been trying to say.

 
Oh he played the "well everyone else agrees with what I'm saying" card. Yes, because I really give two sh#ts about that.

Here's the quote from your post " to call it championship-caliber defense (defining that as good enough to win championships) is reasonable and accurate.".

^ that's what you said genius. To call it a Championship Caliber defense is accurate is your words, not mine. There goes that part of your little bullsh#t story too now huh.

Gave good evidence? We lost to every ranked team we played you dumbshit, I think I've made that point more than clear. Champions don't do that. There's just as many games to say the offense was "championship caliber" then there are games that show they clearly were not. The same goes for the defense you baffoon. I've also made that point perfectly clear and THAT is a good point. Why? Because its the truth. I like how you left off the 28 points to USC or the "Championship Caliber" defense we played against OKLAHOMA STATE when they scored 41 on us. Oh but wait, that was the offenses fault because Nebraska only scored 29.

This whole thing has blown up on you. You couldn't be more wrong, yet instead of being man enough to admit it, you just keep going. Lying at that. I challenenge you to admit you're wrong. It's crystal clear you are.

By the way.....you never called me an idiot? So......this isn't the outrageously idiotic past the point of comprehension statements thread? Where you dragged a post of mine from another topic and quoted it in here. Mmmmkay?

You've called me a dousche before too kiddo. Remember, you started a huge long rant about how I didn't like Taylor as Nebraskas QB ad you had a sincer crush on him so that kind of made you mad. So since we disagreed on that, I got labeled as a dousche again, and again, and again. Sure there will be more to come.

I'm starting to think that you just genuinely don't understand the finer points of distinction used in specific words.

I said championship caliber. You said I said national championship caliber. I didn't say that, and I didn't say that on purpose, because that would be a higher tier, and conference championships are a thing that exist.

Further, I didn't call us champions. You can't just throw similar words/phrases together and say they mean the same thing. I called our defense championship-caliber, which is different than saying they are champions, because they played very well against top-10 teams that we played, and averaged near similar statistics as other defenses of teams that have recently won championships. I mean yeah okay they gave up some points in some games and we lost them, but that's not really the point I made! What you're saying isn't wrong, it's just not..... in response to what I'm saying. You're arguing against a position that doesn't exist.

Even further, your statements have been idiotic, so I put them in the thread for idiotic statements. Not you as a person, who I have never called an idiot. Everyone makes idiotic statements, doesn't make them an idiot. But my opinion makes me a dumbshit

Lastly, I don't really know how it's blown up on me. Why would I admit that I am wrong when I believe I am right? And how is it crystal clear that I'm not? If you can provide me with some empirical evidence of that, and not just a very strange interpretation of my words that has left a number of people confused, then alright yeah I will reconsider. You must not pay attention to my posts that aren't directed towards you very often because I am wrong about stuff all the time.

This was an entertaining first three minutes of my work day. I wanted to be like "NO I CHALLENGE YOU TO ADMIT YOU'RE WRONG ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH" because I thought that was really goofy to say (hey i don't care about anyone else's opinion but i think you're wrong so pay attention to my opinion and admit it or you aren't a man even if you believe what you say), but I'm not really sure we are arguing against each other so much as strawmen so think whatever you want man doesn't matter!
