What do you have against lawn care and drinking? You could actually combine those two and be good.

Favorite and Least Favorite replies on this board
- Thread starter mikebal9
- Start date
I said x months ago that somebody should start a thread about people’s favorite and least favorite replies 😐.
Guess you should have taken Latin in school. Puer is Latin for boy.
Guess this post may qualify as a hated grammar police post.😁
Favorite: travel and food recommendations from other board members, who often generously take the time to offer detailed reviews. Also, this year’s edition of RutgersAl - his team analysis and use of data is far superior than anything found mainstream media.
Least Favorite: disparaging phrases about Rutgers, like ”Rutgers gonna Rutgers” and “same old Rutgers” or my least favorite “We can’t have nice things” as if every other university or life in general is without flaws. Just read The Chronicle of Higher Education and you will see scandal after scandal and multiple problems at our nation’s top universities, even among the Ivies. It’s part of the self-hating culture in the NY metro area, and by the way, the RU Screw died a few years ago after we were selected to join the Big 10.

I peek every now and then just to see if there is any new info on the industry.
Love the look of the Tesla S but just a tad too rich for my blood right now.
I tried to talk my wife into an EV as our second car.
Already had a 2017 Pilot for long trips.
Daily milage is less than 5 - driving kids to and from school.
Weekend is usually less than a 100 total if going to my parents house or not.
Instead we got a 2022 GMC Yukon.
Yep, an EV would actually be pretty perfect for you guys given your driving needs since you already have the Pilot for long road trips.
The Yukon is kind of the opposite in terms of energy costs for the vehicle, but there's no denying that big SUVs are great to own.
Well, I didn't reread the thread, but somehow, this one escaped me when I listed least favorites..."I am better fan than you because I (fill in the blank). That other thread is getting ridiculous.
Agree- there is a difference between calling out a troll and trying to compare who is the bigger fan of the team.
Just because someone disagrees- it doesnt make them less than a fan...
Least favorite is when someone cherry picks one minor element of your post to criticize, while ignoring the overall point being made.
You essentially provided a least-favorite example.. "in before it gets locked"
But it COULD mean they are not really a fan. Trusting that everyone here is an actual fan is going too far.
Yeah but why should we care if someone is a fan or not, or "how much of a fan", whatever that means, they are?
We get visitors who are fans of other teams from other schools and, IMO, that's a good thing. It makes things more interesting to see perspectives from outside the box. They are not fans of our program at all, but if they appear here with regularity, then they are probably fans of our little online community.
I don't really care if people here are fans or not fans. If they're contributing to the entertainment and aren't just pure internet trolls out to disrupt, then the more viewpoints, the more varied the opinions, the merrier.
The last thing we want is an echo chamber which is massively boring and lame.
Fans from other schools or trolls? Fans, prime example would be @Southern Gentleman , should be welcomed. Trolls, not so much .
One of my favorites is my reply to the 2015 Ohio State Lookalike Thread.
I successfully connected an OSU player to his doppelgänger, Patty Hearst. The pictures have disappeared but the likes testify to the quality of my effort:

Yeah, SG is a perfect example. But there are others, we get a steady stream and not all of them are long-term or constant participants. But they don't come to rile people up - just to engage now and then. All good stuff.
We actually don't get very many actual trolls, unless they've been booted from the forum before I notice them. Most are pretty easily identifiable having joined very recently with very low post counts.
We do seem to have a small handful of long-term trolls who don't appear to come here for any reason but to inflame. Doubt they're fans of anything in life.
