but I don't call them excuses. But many people provide "Facts" that don't actually support the position they are trying to present.

An excuse is a lie used to cover something you did wrong.

I hate it when people call perfectly acceptable reasons excuses.

PolarisPrime

There's always "reasons" for failures. When it becomes a trend that is not fixed

Here's your answer and it ain't pretty.

JamesDean

5/2/15 8:46pm

So Wrubels post actually supports Bronco.

PolarisPrime

5/2/15 9:43pm

Wait, how does this support Bronco?

newey-west

5/2/15 9:46pm

I misread the tweet.

PolarisPrime

5/2/15 9:58pm

lol do tell.

JamesDean

5/2/15 9:51pm

Actually... How does Wrubels tweet answer the question that was asked?

PolarisPrime

5/2/15 9:57pm

Simply shows how many players were drafted from BYU since it was cut to 7

JamesDean

5/2/15 9:59pm

Here is the real answer.

PolarisPrime

5/2/15 10:07pm

Thank heavens because it wasn't in response to you anyhow.

JamesDean

5/2/15 10:38pm

Thats good because I try and associate with positive blue goggled people anyway.

PolarisPrime

5/2/15 10:48pm

You like to associate ONLY with blue goggles.

^^^ ironic post of the year ^^^

JamesDean

5/3/15 1:04am

You still struggle with the definition of irony I see.

PolarisPrime

5/3/15 1:11am

Further off topic for the blue goggled spin doctor.

chirocoug

5/2/15 11:46pm

newey-west

5/2/15 10:13pm

Neither you nor I have the knokwledge to make that determination

PolarisPrime

5/2/15 10:17pm

Bronco himself said that he's changed. He feels more pressure to be a

newey-west

5/2/15 10:22pm

Well Ziggy and VanNoy both are since he has "changed"
