More conference realignment talk

[🏀]

I'd rather have St Thomas in the BE than SLU.

This. Saint Thomas would whoop the crap out of Saint Louis' French ass.

[TAMU, Knower of Ball]

Nope, I'm not confused. Actually, it's still there, from September 20th.

This?

#1 The Cardinals have had an impressive turnaround to earn their playoff spot.

#2 The Padres have had a spectacular freefall to lose their playoff spot.

#3 The Cardinals would not be in the driver's seat for a playoff spot if either #1 or #2 did not happen.

All three things are true

Because that's what I posted. Uncle Rico trolled you on the same day by saying the Cardinals blow. But I know,  anyone not from your Tribe looks the same to you 

[Shooter McGavin]

I'm pretty open minded and maybe you'll be proven right. But St Thomas?  What the hell are you guys talking about?  They need to prove it at a D 1 level first.  The Minnesota/St Thomas people seem to be getting out in front of their skis a bit.

Here is the screen shot of what you posted. You can project and gaslight distract all you wish, but that's your post. I suppose, using your words, that makes you a troll a too.

I know what I posted. Where did I post that the Cardinals blow? Uncle Rico posted that

[brewcity77]

I'm not sure if this is the most obtuse or inane discussion I can recall here. Maybe both.

[MU82]

Yadi to the Big East!

Not sure why you keep bringing this up over snd over. I brought it up once to explain that your other post in this thread was more effective discussing the topic than your previous tribal trolling post.

You posted in response in the other thread that all four things can be true. That was one of the things listed. It's pretty straight forward.

Not sure why we need to keep discussing it in this thread about conference realignment.

[JakeBarnes]

So is Yadi in favor of the Zags joining the Big East?

Exactly I said all things COULD be true. I didn't say it was true. You need to read what I wrote. You're assuming things I didn't say.

We don't. If you haven't figured it out yet, I am still trolling you. Of course I said the Cardinals blow. I didn't actually say it but it was clear what I meant when I joined in on Uncle Rico's trolling, because it is possible to make accurate inferences about what people mean even if their words don't say it exactly, which you just did. But this is what you do, all the time. It's very clear from all of your posts what your opinions are about St. Louis. But every time someone points that out you claim that you never said that, that they need to read what you wrote, that you say things about a lot of places, everyone else is just tribal, etc.

That's a lot of.posts, words, denials, projection and gaslighting in one thread, off topic.

Just based upon comments my buddy in the Twin Cities has said about St Thomas grads, they think the BE is only the start for them. After a few years dominating us, Big Ten, then a combination of Ivy League and Big Ten, the school is just that epic.

[Billy Hoyle]

I'm feeling way more optimistic about the Zags in the Big East than ever before and think it's more likely than not

Gonzaga is not happening. They don't want it, most BE schools don't want it. The primary reasons being the time zone issues, and all other sports besides MBB.

For you posters who have been around wayyyyyy to long ......

Trevor Mbakwe fears St. Thomas.    His transfer to Minnesota was his back up school.

Should Trevor Mbakwe fear St. Louis though?

[tower912]

He laughs contemptuously at the Billikens.

Shoot, you are the one who held onto an offhanded joking comment from a month ago about a completely different topic and introduced it into this thread and are now complaining about it being discussed. If you don't want a tangent discussed, don't create it and don't add to the conversation about the tangent.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

Defending the honor of everything St. Louis on Scoop is a tireless task.  You can't blame him for getting confused.

You keep projecting and gaslighting. You took part of a post here in this thread, and you kept it going and going.

I wasn't on the board for a while. When you click on a thread, it takes you to the most recent post. Places don't bother me for trivial reasons. But apparently one lives rent free on the minds of some others here.

Lost of course is the overall point that one get out of posts and threads what you puts into them.

This is the conference realignment thread.

It's the same 20% of posters that do the 80% of posting that troll places and things that scare them. Rinse repeat. It must be exhausting to follow me around to troll, because places don't bother me. But as pointed out, for some it goes back 15 years. For others such as this example, dozens and dozens of posts when I wasn't even around. The same places and schools will live rent free into the minds of others long after I'm gone.

Other places and other schools don't bother me for trivial reasons.

I post on the topics in the threads, a wide variety of topics and threads, just as I did this one. Several troll posters stopped by to hijack the thread. That says more about those people than me. And so it goes.

[shoothoops]

SLU is making a major announcement on Tuesday per Twitter.

I didn't see this post earlier. It's expected to be an athletics facilities expansion announcement.

You brought up TAMU's post on another topic entirely.  You brought up Marquette's recent basketball history even though it is irrelevant to the topic at hand.

If you would have simply stuck to your long-winded advocacy of SLU, you would have been completely on-topic.  But you chose not to and are now blaming others for taking it off topic.

Very strange.

If you would have read my post carefully, you would have seen all of the positives and challenges listed. But people see what they want to see.

I mentioned TAMU Eagle's trolling of the same location to point out that his post in this thread would lead to a more effective discussion than his tribal trolling of the same place in the other thread. He of course made the post, not me.

I brought up Marquette's recent basketball history, because for some, recent basketball on court results matter in conference realignment talks. Would Butler have received an invite if they didn't have the 2 Final Fours a few years prior? How are schools not in the league doing compared to schools in the league. That is one part of many parts, yes.

You then followed up saying that wasn't something that bothered you. Clearly it did because you've now brought it up several times. It would have been easy to simply discuss the other parts of the post instead. That would have been fine by me. I wouldn't have cared.

I keep bringing it up because I am mocking you and making fun of you.  And you keep replying!

So satisfying on a Monday morning.

BTW, the Gateway Arch is completely overrated.

You're projecting. You are taking something that bothers you and placing on someone else.

That's the thing. St. Louis the place, the Arch, SLU basketball, Yadier Molina etc...none of those things bother me. Notre Dame, (for the blue hairs) U Wisconsin, Milwaukee, Chicago etc...none of those places, people or things bother me in any way. So when people troll those people, places, and things, that repeats the frustration cycle for themselves, not the other person. I'm happy to discuss any of those above topics, as well as others, and I do in those threads too.
