I feel like I'm watching a retarded child repeatedly poke himself in they eye with a spoon every time I read one of your responses. You keep quoting posts that I never denied saying then say I deny saying them and/or insist your misinterpretation of my opinion is absolutely what I was saying.
You're the one going off on rants and blowing your top. I'm simply trying to explain to you that you've made a mistake interpreting my posts. I would try explaining it again but I no longer care what you think or how you arrived at the incorrect paraphrasing of my position - it's my opinion, I know what it is and you are wrong about my opinion. It's just that simple. If it makes you happy, I will say it's not unreasonable for you to draw your conclusions. I even said my comments were somewhat vague. But it's just beyond unreasonable that you won't accept that you're wrong about my opinion. Why is it so hard to accept that could be wrong about something so subjective? I do however think it's funny that you split hairs about "consensus", "collective", "collectively", "everyone" etc and accuse me of misinterpreting your post while stubbornly insisting there is zero possibility that maybe you misinterpreted what I've said and you know better what my opinion is than I do. I'm just going to let you go ahead and keep poking yourself in the eye with that spoon.
But while we're here, here are sbee's and MSUMatt28's quotes that you think agree with you:
when you play 3 games in 3 days, you simply don't have the legs on day 3 that you did on day 1. the first thing that goes is the jump shot, MSU and Michigan both shot poorly, we shoot a higher % from 3 than they do and we shot about 15%, we did shoot 50% from the floor even with the bad outside shooting.
the difference is that we can score other ways, we got so many easy looks at the basket. even with Morgan in there Michigan was tissue paper soft on the interior.
I'm sure Michigan was somewhat tired. It was their third game in 3 days and they aren't very deep. MSU was tired too, otherwise maybe they shoot better than 2 for 17 on 3's. But that's what MSU has done over the years when they're at their best though, when they're really guarding. They make you use all of the shot clock looking for any kind of shot and you expend so much energy to get a shot that you can't make them consistently once you do. We haven't seen that kind of defense from them often enough this year.
UM's body language in the second half also might have had as much do to with the fact that they were down 15 points and the fact that they were taken to the limit in both their previous games.
Not saying they agree that the game is better (not great or even good, just better) if both teams are fresh, but neither explicitly says I'm wrong or explicitly agrees with you. Both clearly say fatigue played a role and both seem to indicate it it affected michigan more (sbee because they have fewer options to score (no inside game) and MSUMatt points out that michigan went to the wire in both their prior games - recall MSU coasted through both of theirs).
I don't think it's unreasonable to say that if fatigue took away michigan's only options (jump shots and drives) while we could still score inside, that maybe, just maybe if michigan was fresh and had those options, he might think michigan could make it a better game (again, not great or even good, just better). But they don't explicitly say one way or another so I can't know for sure - but I bet you can since you clearly know people's opinions better than they do.
As for this one:
Sorry, but your logic still doesn't make sense. They both played 3 games in 3 days, and UM actually had a few hours more to rest up since they played earlier on Sat. Plain and simple fact is that State flat out outplayed UM.

Clearly this guy missed the point altogether - he thinks he has this big ah-ha moment with his revelation that MSU played just as many games in just as many days. If you want to count this guy among your "everyone" go ahead, you're up to 3. Congrats. Just be nice and make sure you share your spoon with the other two geniuses.
