Just curious, I always find myself in this situation and can never resist. The other idiot never understands what I am talking about.
Example
Me: Wisconsin will start the year better than Kentucky in basketball. Wisconsin was the better team last year for the majority of the season (maybe all of it) and returns everyone minus Brust.
Idiot: That isn't right, UK beat them last year. I bet that last second three still hurts you doesn't it?
Me: No..... one last second three doesn't make a team better than another team
Idiot: Yeah, whatever makes you feel good.
