re: In defense of MIles

Hey Flask, have you defended last year's defense yet...because you shouldn't.

Maybe you forgot the post. I believe I simply voiced my opinion on this issue and it was you that attacked me on my grammer. If you don't agree with me simply say so but you have no reason to attack me personally.

And you had no reason to attack the English language with this brutal assault.

miles has no excuse when he came to lsu. coaches across this country would have pissed on themselves to inheret a team like he got when he came here. many of those players are in the pros now.several didn't play for saban but they did practice under him and look at the team then. what you saw in the sec tourny will be what you see every year .miles will continue to get beat by bama every year and once in a while he will pull an upset over fla. but all in all he will be 2nd,3rd, or 4th in the west. i really see 4th next year if he stays and it won't be long before the dinardo , hallman days are back. bama looked like lsu when saban was here several years ago which made it hard to watch the game.mark it in the book the longer miles stays the worst we will get and the harder it will be to get lsu back in the mix.

You won't win this one. That post is epically horrible.

get over the grammer shite

psst..its grammar. I'm not a grammar nazi, but seriously?

sorry

Your going to have to wait, guy who posted that has not had the little "online" thing for probably over an hour now.

I wasn't posting to get him to respond earlier. I only posted again to add the UF and UA roster stuff.

I was gonna let this go, but your post took this type of activity to the next level. Has anyone on the Rant ever seen anything such as this? Did your proofreading and editing have to be so extensive?

quote:

---

I noticed you have tried to step up your grammar and spelling since I called you out.

---

How in the heck can you possibly know that?

quote:

---

As a courtesy to you, I have put all of your mistakes in bold.

Something tells me you didn't really provide this free exercise and post it "as a courtesy" to anyone.


BTW, you didn't catch "all" the mistakes. I'll leave the "bold-facing" to you:

1. There's an extra space between the last word and the period at the end of the first sentence.
2. It's "whom," not "who."
3. "rats arse" should be "rat's arse."
4. "your adults" should read "your elders," or something more specific and less confusing.
There are a few more that you missed, but you get the idea.

Let's take a look at your reply:
1. "Stop embarassing yourself old man," is lacking a comma after "yourself."
2. "...people that are older than you are." The word "are" isn't neccesary, and any 5th-grade teacher would end the sentence with "you."

I get no pleasure posting this reply, and hope I haven't offended either of you, Mr. Tigerhack and TheHiddenFlask. I chose to pursue one of the world's easiest professions, and somehow managed to author four books and made a good living as a writer, reporter and public relations flak since I was 14. However, like a team without a great QB, I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm nowhere without great editors.

My primary point is this: TD.com is a series of frickING MESSAGE BOARDS!!!
You can sign up, read and/or write on these boards as you like (within reason and site rules).

And anyone is free to become a member here, even if you're allergic to the dictionary or if you haven't memorized Strunk & White's The Elements of Style.

Goodnight and good luck!

There are a lot of coaches out there that would have taken those recruiting classes, without RP, and done a heck of lot more.......But if you're happy with the "Mad Clockster" then...
