    I am correcting a post on the board so that other people don't see it and repeat is as fact like you did.

    We are clearly not communicating.  I said "I seem to remember that...", nothing along the lines of "I know for a fact that...".  Uncertainty was built into my post.

    It's not a personal attack on you.

    You said "you're mistaken", not "that is incorrect".  Use of the word you makes it personal.  I was reacting to the accumulation of several unrelated posts, and should have kept it to myself.  Forget about it, I don't really mind.  My skin isn't actually that thin. 

     

    It's nice that you typed some rules, but without knowing where they came from, I'm still left wondering if they are correct.  I'm not saying that you are wrong, I'm just wondering why the readers should believe your post over any of the other comments in the thread.

    You’re mistaken. 

     

    Any four year school who is a member of a recognized association or fully accredited counts as a game. 

    No, I am correctly stating my memory.  I might have been misinformed, but I was not mistaken.  I was sharing a thought, and not stating a fact.  Why make it personal?  And, after you recently demanded proof of a tweet in another thread, I find it comical that you now don't feel the need to provide proof backing your own statement.  Lighten up...

    It's not an exhibition game, therefore, it's a regular game and will count on our record. 

    I seem to remember that one game against a lower division will count, but a second game would not.  I feel like a few MAC teams have played 2 lower teams* in the recent past.

     

    * in addition to any true pre-season exhibition games.

    600,000 is also more than 6x less than the coach he beat yeasterday.

    Does anyone in your place of employment make the same as someone with 20 more years of experience?

    Everything is relative.  He is better off than he used to be.  He is also still young, with plenty of time further improve his position.

    Personally I favor the career arc, over one huge step.  In the long run, one huge raise followed by a flatline wouldn't feel gratifying to me.

    ... UB is trying to get in a really good OOC for the RPI. ...

    The RPI is dead, you meant NET.  It's too bad the NCAA isn't going to release previous season's equivalent NET rankings.  It would be nice to see how the two systems compare to one another.

    Wonder if that hurts us in the polls. In the ESPN3 days pollsters could just throw our games, on...now I don't know... do they get free espn+?

    No worse than polls before the internet. When they only got box scores later in the week, after The Postman arrived.
