false..rice was given zero credit for beating Kansas
and houston beating boise is 10 times more relevant to the media, perception, posters or whatever meter youve created than beating wake
beating byu> wazzu
beating houston > beating kansas
beating ucf > cal
you can say our #1 team is probably equal to their #6 team in perception ,and that would probably make a decent argument but to say the ENTIRE p5 is foolish and ecu posturing
stop trying to pimp off your ncstate win...no one cares
Again, the poster said said 2 P5 teams, a follow UH fan brought one of them, the lesser of the two. No where other than grouping it with the other as wins over P5 school (no mention of if they were good or not was made). It is you and AirRaide that are inferring your own meaning on to the post.
That said post was in response to this shot across the bow,
"And who has ECU beat? I really wouldn't be acting all high and mighty if I was a ECU fan, you guys barely made it out of CUSA"
Yes, the two more P5's than you was condescending and snarky, but it was meant to be, as a response to a condescending and snarky shot at ECU fans.
Yes, I know that the other fan took a shot at ECU because of your first post. But, you have been rather snarky at any opinion that doesn't say UH is the greatest thing since sliced bread and we shouldn't even suit up and just give the trophy to UH now. Sorry, but I's rather play the games and not try to decide this on paper.
Getting to NCSU, preseason last year Massey had NCSU beating ECU and gave ECU only a 40% chance of winning. Well, during the 4th quarter of the game it was 42-7, when we cleared the bench, NCSU put up 3 garbage time TD's against walk-ons. We blew them out, period. So much for the preseason prediction, heck we were 10 point dog to UNC, how did that work out?
unc wasnt the same team they were in the beginning of the season..and are still only a 7-6 team ..thats first
second...i have no problem with someone trying to use unc for aac justification
but when some makes a flawed argument in using both..i point out the flawed aspect which constantly saying 2 p5..trying to pimp off ncstate
if houston beat kansas, wake and lets say syracuse (who was a 7-6 acc team who destroyed tulane) and we kept saying that we beat 3 p5 teams and that is why we are going to beat ecu...youd clearly point out that 2 of the teams were wake and kansas ..so dont act like me calling out just ncstate is flawed by any means
they clearly said 2 p5, meaning they were using both as pillars, so questioning even just one is legitimate point. if you don want me to question ncstate say we beat unc and stop the ridiculous we beat "2 p5"
third you are very selective with your memory or blind with your homerism, that quote you put up was from a ECU fan attacking my first comment that had nothing to do with ECU
"Obviously he watched who's {team} beat nobody...and why would he watch who's {team} when your own fans don't show up."
so a ecu fan attacks UH, a UH fan say why are you so high and mighty to be taking jabs at us, a ecu fan then trys to pimp off a 3 win ncstate and a 7-6 unc
and im the snarky one
get off your high horse, the uh response wasnt snarky but simple a question in response to a jab by your fans that wasnt even waranted
and your slective memory is forgetting its your fans that have been attacking other teams all offseason but im the snarky one for defending them
thanks for the conversation
