It's called self-control. You should try it.

This is me with self control. I originally went to a special ed school (Parkside Elementary, NYC). You don't know how bad I used to be 10 years ago.

[NJTank]

no would I do that!

You say that now, but just wait.

North Texas's new stadium looks horrible (what did you expect)

No, it doesn't.

I think thats a decent looking college stadium

No, it doesn't.

Actually I'm going to go with the Oregon fan, at least with regards to the endzone seating. I guess they were trying to go for the "Gurren Lagann" aesthetic, but it just doesn't work for stadia.

PROTIP: Aspies don't use their condition as a defense for their behavior. Because they don't feel like giving people personal information.

[HedleyLamarr]

This is why it's a bad idea to start a college football thread in late May. Whomever started it just wanted the glory of being "the guy" that started the thread, but there's not much to talk about until, say, August.

Is there a way this can be pinned, yet locked, until the appropriate time?

USC stripped of 2004 title due to reggie bush getting benefits. I didn't see this within the last couple pages, but I did get some entertaining reading about arizona basketball and such.

Well, the reasons I think you're making it up are that you called yourself "retarded," and "I have Asperger's" is an unfortunately-common defense of trolls all over the Internet.

I called my self that as a joke. Many people tell "You're retarded!" And I respond "Yes I am." It's more of an inside joke than anything. Why do you think I know so much about those little schools? Because when I am interested in something, I become obsessed with it. Off the top of my head, I can name the mascot for over 500 schools. I can remember stats from games that nobody remembers. But I can forget to take the trash out 4 seconds after someone tells me too. I bet none of the trolls actually know where aspergers is on the autism spectrum.

Kevin W. has Aspergers.

unproven. In fact, he has yet to respond to my request for written verification of said affliction.

[IceCap]

I would go with Auburn before going with Utah

I was kidding, anyway, considering that Ice_Cap is an Auburn fan. For the record, I think Auburn and Utah were both unfairly left out in the cold in '04, further reflecting how broken the BCS system is.

No one got my 1984 reference

Fair enough, but then you're clearly just trolling to piss people off. Either way, stop.

Trust me, you do not want to go down this road of homerish arguments in Sports in General. It does not go over well at all.

I'm not trying to piss everybody off. You know, I probably should have told you this before, but I'm actually autistic. More specifically, I have Asperger's Syndrome and Tourettes Syndrome. There are a lot of moments where I say things and I'm not trying to piss people off, but I'm just stating my opinion in a way in which I think is acceptable, but everybody else does not. Basically, I'm not trolling, I am literally retarded.

I have Tourettes Syndrome too, but I don't use that as an excuse. Sure, I can be brash and opinionated at times, but I don't use my condition as a way to justify it. I just accept that I can be a brash and opinionated person.

Own the disease man, don't let it own you

[Lee.]

I'd wager that most people with Tourette's don't have the time to type out their exclamations.

Is it just me, or do we have an unusually high percentage of member's with Asperger's around here? Is there something about uniforms that appeals to people with that particular affliction?

[Lee.]

it's an internet phenomenon that just found its way here.

Funny how it's always the troublemakers who suffer from this devastating condition. Funnier still is how their condition doesn't seem to show up until they're getting their asses kicked over their behavior. I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Actually yes. AS people usually have a fancy for something trivial. Sports uniforms would fit that case. It actually doesn't surprise me that many people are in some form autistic.

People with AS usually have very narrow and focused interests.

Actually, one of my colleagues was working with a 12th grader that had Aspergers. Before their appointment, the student's mom called my colleague and told him "what ever you do, do not bring up U of M football, once he gets started is nearly impossible to get him back on topic".

I'm the same way about Arizona. I was the top Zona Zoo student for a reason.

None of which explains why it took being generally despised by the entire community before either of you brought it up.

If memory serves Kev, your douchebag behavior had reached the point where you were taking a brutal beating in just about any thread you dared to post in. When all else failed, you dropped the "I'm like this because I have AS" card on us.

Spleenadoofus, maybe it's just me, but when the tide really started turning on you in this thread, you suddenly explain away your behavior as a result of AS.

No offense gentlemen, but a person more cynical than me might think the timing of your announcements was very interesting.

[Kevin W.]

Whatever, I really don't have to justify myself to idiots like you. I'm not even going to bother.
