I, too, have no clue how to say it.

It is highly stressful.

(filed under: things I never ever thought I’d write)

Thank you for the compliments. I appreciate it.

So I’ll keep it up! (also thank you for the kind words)

No schools report "butts in seats."

While the others were 3-9/5-7/1-10.

And not the quality of the teams and players, which is what almost always determines a game’s outcome, regardless of the weather.

Until that is put forth, the idea that anyone besides Utah/Colorado (the latter of which has played 2 straight bad weather games in Pullman and gotten hammered both times), is negatively impacted by poor weather is meritless.

That is: normally direct, and usually accompanied by high amounts of sarcasm and self-effacement. That puts off a subset of the folks here, which is expected. I realized long ago that the same subset of site members gets more upset at the comment based upon the commenter than the actual words within, which is also expected. I’m just flummoxed at the idea that someone can put forth a completely baseless opinion, and then get upset when directly called out for said opinion because it wasn’t worded kindly enough (and for the record I did not measure the temperature of said take ).

Admittedly, my direct techniques can venture into the unfair, as was the case with a commenter last week. I disagreed sharply with his point of view, but he had at least based his opinion on evidence and data, to his credit. That was not the case here.

Oh well, that’s enough of my "old man yells at cloud" session for now. I appreciate you (and everyone else) who reads my weekly blathering.

But especially because UW stinks.

Nice.

There is no evidence to suggest such a thing.

I swear it’s not a high bar.
