Obviously you cannot keep up. Let me try to explain to you what happened over the course of the day; I will try to keep things simple for you:

-After making you eat your own words from previous postings (see posts from 2009-07-14 09:53:07 to 2009-07-14 10:25:40 on this page) in regards to UNC, I felt pretty good. So, I decided to do an experiment. Not for school or anything, just independent research. My goal: to see if it is possible to make pasta look any more stupid. My unit of measurement: “Stupid Points”, which from here on out will be referred to as SP. This is what happened, as documented on this blog:

-Your incoherent rambling about “experts widely agreeing” about something either completely idiotic or immeasurable by any means (i.e. Kansas is a laughingstock, or KU’s title is a fluke, Bill Self is a stiff, Calipari is the best coach in the NCAA, placing more value on tournament seedings than winning the tournament etc.) started to annoy me. It would be one thing if you provided links to ANY so-called experts, but you never did.

-At this point, I decided to make you look stupid. I asked multiple times for a link to “experts”. You never provided one. So, I decided to provide one. The Forbes link was a legitimate source that had a legitimate way of ranking these coaches: mathematics, the universal language. I even laughed when I read the part about it being over the course of the past four years. It was all too perfect. (http://www.forbes.com/2009/02/24/ncaa-march-madness-lifestyle-sport_basketball.html) The proof was in the numbers.

-But proof, mathematics, and logic mean nothing to you. Not surprisingly, you dismissed the link, as well as the rankings; perhaps because it was based in fact, not opinion. Or maybe just because you could not come to terms with the fact that you were wrong.— SP count:1

-It was clear that you were flustered at this point. Posts included nothing but insults to people’s intelligence and victory claims, despite all evidence pointing to the fact that YOUR intelligence should be questioned and you had clearly lost.— SP counts 2 and 3

-In a futile and desperate effort to disprove a GOOD ranking system, you decided to provide a link to a better one: http://ncaabasketball.fanhouse.com/2009/06/03/college-basketballs-top-25-coaches/. Interesting read; unfortunately it provided no account as to how the ranking was achieved, making the ranking itself rather suspect.

-As if that wasn’t bad enough, you cited the FAN VOTE as the most accurate measure of a successful coach (SP count 4). Growing progressively more and more desperate, you threw out outlandish claims like a fan vote being a better indicator of coaching capacity than Win-Loss pct, recruiting, tournament success, etc (SP count 5). Then, to top it all off, you said you could conceive of a numerical system to make Tiger Woods a worse golfer. Ben put you in your place at this point, and I asked for you to prove a way to devise said system, but to no avail. —SP count 6.

-Then, to shove it in your face even more, I provided links to poll results that showed Cal was a cheater and one that said he bore more significance on the future of the United States than President Obama. Just wanted to show you how “legitimate” fan voting really was.

-Obviously, this exercise went way over your head, as you became upset with me for my hypocrisy. You just didn’t understand why I though the only accurate polls were the ones that bashed Cal. You didn’t see the fact that I was simply showing how ridiculously inaccurate ALL polls can be. —SP count 7.

-Then you tried to construe and twist my first link (the legit one) by saying it was based “on random numbers”, even though it states very clearly what numbers the rank was based on. —SP count 8.

-Now I have to write this 8 million word post so that you can understand how stupid I just proved you to be. Trying to explain to a dumb person why they are dumb- it leads to an endless circle; but, nonetheless, it warrants 2 more Stupid Points. That brings the count to 10.

I decided to be a little more eloquent with my explanation of your idiocy than Brett Myers would have been; but, to quote him:

“Boom. Outta here.”

Corky from Wonder Years is embarassed for you you give people with special needs a bad name!

Calipari @ Memphis (eliminating his first 2 years @ Memphis so Pasta quits crying):
29-26 (.527) vs RPI Top 40
36-23 (.610) vs BCS Schools

Eliminate the statistical outlier (2008- the fluke year) and you get
20-24 vs RPI Top 40
26-21 vs BCS Schools.
