Essential Meaning of sarcasm
: the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say especially in order to insult someone, to show irritation, or to be funny

Muskie, after watching years of us passing around the perimeter to throw up a 3 pointer as the clock runs down I find it refreshing to have to player who will attack the rim.

It's plausible that he was responding to the sarcasm with more additional sarcasm.

Probably not though.

I didn't say he would improve. I said it is ridiculous for some of these posters to act like we are in trouble if Payne starts next year because it completely discounts the possibility that he could improve. It is one plausible outcome. Another plausible is that he is still barely serviceable. Either way, there is no way anyone should be making blanket assumptions like that right now. It's not fair to the kid.

Again, maybe it comes down to your misuse of the word plausible. Plausible doesn't mean it's likely. Plausible means it is one possible outcome that realistically could happen. I never said that it's likely; only that we should not discount him this early into his time in this new (to him) system.

We must have different dictionary's then.

adjective: plausible
(of an argument or statement) seeming reasonable or probable.
"a plausible explanation"


I can happily change the word to probable if that will make you happy though. You and I seem to actually be agreeing then because of course its in the realm of possibility.

Why you were replying to me about what "other posters" said I don't know. I'm not responsible for what anyone says but myself. I was simply agreeing with the one person's opinion that those two particular players are best viewed as bench guys next year, that's all man.

Lvill Indy 0440 or D11 what are you guys hearing on Watsons visit? What are our chances and any timeline for him? Thanks for any info much appreciated.

I’m not a real insider like the guys mentioned above, but this is what I heard. “Spent a lot of time with Geoff. Really seemed to enjoy the visit. Illini is in the mix here for sure. Do not expect a commitment soon as he has plans to visit other programs.” Personally, I am happy to see that we are still recruiting top players in NY state. I thought NY would dry up once Antigua left.

Take it how you want I respect Coach Underwood’s ability to lead this team offensively and defensively. I see lots of players putting up shots early in the shot clock. Inside and outside, and when we don’t he runs a motion offense to get a good look.

I do too, but you Gotta have fun with it all Muskie! I've suffered through as a lifetime fan plus 7 years in CU, so if I took it too seriously I'd be depressed :ROFLMAO:

Payne has been in Underwood's program for half a year. Calling it implausible that he shows improvement over time is just silly. BBV has been here longer, so that's certainly a less plausible scenario for him.

agree with this..

ppl were damn near ready to write off grandison as a noncontributor this time last year and the guy had been in hte program for 1.5 years (sit out year). Dang we turn on kids fast on these boards LOL

Is it ironic that even after looking up the meaning of plausible and sarcasm I still don’t know what you guys are talking about?
