Tangent Thread - December 2015 Edition

So the largest comeback in school history was actually a blowout "loss" to tOSU. Because that would be putting lipstick on a pig.
Obviously you didn't actually read what I posted, because if you had, you would realize how silly this reply is.
It really isn't any sillier than calling the Purdue loss a blowout.
How about we just all settle on this - it was a blowout in the third quarter but the Huskers made it a close game at the end.

It's still a loss to a bad team the Huskers had no business losing, too.

There are far more important things to talk about then petty squabbling over what is and isn't a blowout.

Grammatically there's nothing wrong with it depending on what my intent is.

Okay. I'm not a full-blown grammar nazi yet, I'm still just a grammar jugendbund.

I love these grammar puzzles and this one stumped me. How can it possibly be grammatically correct?

Well, it depends on what I'm trying to say. I'm either trying to say they had no busing "losing to" this team, or, my second sentence is a continuation or extension of my first thought. In that case, my intent would be, on top of everything else, they had no business "losing, too."

My intent was the latter though I can see how someone may think it was a grammar error.

Sorry, that still isn't grammatically correct.

Hey, shouldn't Nazi be capitalized? Since we're devolving into the minutia of tangential arguments here?
