His next point is this "blowout" reminds us how bad the Summit is. Even a 9-point loss to a top 15/30 team is not evidence of how bad the conference is. That would be a true statement if they lost by 30 like MSU is about to do.
It's just another example of Chapo using hyperbole to support his point. Saying the Bison would be a better situation if they were in the MWC for basketball is an absolutely valid. Pointing out they had 4 teams legitimately make the tournament is a very good example to prove the point. All 4 teams lost already, but 3 of them were in tight matchups in the 8-12 seed range.
Some people may like message board discussions with someone who screams and yells a lot because it adds energy. I find them exhausting.
I was on our light rail train system the other day. I had my ear buds in and was minding my own business when my eye caught focus on the old man sitting directly opposite of me facing my direction. I luckily had missed the moment when he retrieved the booger that was currently on his right middle finger but by the time I noticed him, he was struggling to fling it off. He kept rolling and trying to flick but it hung on like my chihuahua on my lower leg. Roll, flick....roll, flick....roll, flick.....this went on for 2 stops before he finally liberated that finger. He was clearly relieved and then started picking at his ears. Unfortunately, he didn't see that he flung it onto his pants.
This is how I feel about Lakes.
Insert something clever here...
