    So, in your braindead skull, Penn State goes from Big Ten champion and the team most thought was screwed out of a Final Four berth, to "marginally a top-10 team." Very astute analysis. Even MadBum is embarrassed by you.
    For the record, the words "funny-looking yellow people" have never and will never be spoken or written by me. That came outta you, dude.

    The thing that amazes me about that attendance stat: think about HOW fans got to the 1939 game: either by car or train. Very few by plane.

    Who thought Penn State got screwed? Nobody. When the final rankings come out, Penn State will be 10-3 and ranked somewhere between 7 and 12. That's marginally top 10.

    And you've bragged about your open racism, specifically your hostility to Asians. Might as well own it.

    To be fair, I only remember him bragging about conversing with his family at the dinner table about how Asians are poor drivers.

    Pretty big Asian population at UCLA, so parking and exiting those rivalry games must be a bitch for him.

    You read what you want to read and believe what you want to believe. When you read, I suggest trying to figure out what the words actually mean.
    Penn State won the Big Ten and beat the team that was taken ahead of it to the Final Four. There were plenty of people who thought Penn State deserved to go ahead of Ohio State and/or Washington. If you missed that in the past month, that's on you.

    Brag? Wrong.
    Open racism? Wrong.
    Hostility? Wrong.
    I wrote that I have to be extra careful driving around home because Asians are poor drivers. I have visual proof, and if that bothers you, don't fucking read it.

    What's the visual proof?

    Chris, you seem like a thoroughly unenjoyable blowhard, and the racism is an all-around turnoff from anyone. So I'm going to excuse myself from further interactions.

    I wrote this way back when, obviously offending some, but here it is again for the final time. In my neighborhood, nine out of 10 times you see some car doing something stupid, the driver is Asian. Such as: turning right from the left lane, making a U-turn from the right lane of a double left-turn pocket, changing lanes in an intersection, stopping in the middle of the street for no apparent reason. The ratio is unbelievable, but accurate. We talk about it as a means to warn my family that this stuff happens so be aware of it and drive accordingly.
    Truthfully, I think I mentioned this more than a year ago. Longtime is the only one who continues to make it an issue. After he was obviously offended more than a year ago, I stopped mentioning it. He keeps bringing it up -- You're crazy to think USC is so good and you hate Asians. You think the Ducks get screwed by the refs and you're a racist.
    Let it go, man, this isn't worth fighting over. I know what I see, you don't.

    LOL. That's not "visual proof," whatever that means. That is anecdotal.

    To be fair, I also bring it up regarding your posts, because it's funny and ridiculous that you believe so forcefully in an awful stereotype.

    Can I be anecdotal about driving around Miami?
