Curious, what is the best game to pay for this Friday and Saturday?

I think that Harding at Pitt State game is going to be a real battle. I would vote for that one on Saturday. Two of the best D2 teams in the country.

The son was pushing to go to Pittsburg ... but now that I know I can watch it on ESPN+, when I get home from Lamar, will just tune in and watch it from the comfort of the couch ...

Cleveland 24, Pittsburgh 19.....................BOSKO bites the dust!

Steeler offense is still not ready for prime time.
Two of their wins, they didn’t score a TD. Cincy is going to score bigly.
Desperate team and then some. Even their D will look good vs. this stinky Pittsburgh O.
MY STEELERS knocked the Chiefs OUT OF THE PLAYOFFS with an all field goal game!!

This is not debate. This is intellectual dishonesty, which may be the worst brand. Or it could be even worse: that this is not intellectual dishonesty and you actually just don't have a clue what you're doing rhetorically. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say that it is intellectual dishonesty, though.

I'm going to define and explain several (though not all) of the logical fallacies your response is guilty of, not only for your enlightenment, but also so that you know why these types of arguments can't be taken very seriously as intellectual discourse.

Straw man fallacy: You oversimplify the opposing views to make them easier to attack. Textbook, as pointed out by Veer2Eternity.

Equivocation fallacy: Knowing that I wasn't using the same definition of cult as you were attempting to straw man me into, you persisted in using that definition because it fit your argument.

Loaded language/Appeal to fear: When you use words like "Mass murdering," "bodily mutilation," "economic disaster," and "pure evil," you are clearly trying to cause an emotional reaction, like fear, (or are expressing your feelings rather than dispassionate arguments) rather than attempting to foster an rational, reasoned discussion.

Slippery slope: When you say "policies that allowed thousands of people to invade our country illegally," you assume a chain reaction of events without giving specific evidence of a causal link. It implies a catastrophic outcome (e.g., changing the voting populace of swing states) without substantiating how these events are connected causally.

In using these fallacies, you avoid engaging in a reasoned, evidence-based discussion and instead appeal to emotion, fear, and oversimplification to persuade or provoke. These fallacious methods of argument are convincing to a lot of people, maybe even most people, and in that way, they are effective (though not intellectually honest). Politicians of all stripes use these fallacies constantly, which we rightly criticize them for. But when we turn around and use the same fallacies, we are no better than they are.

Is it Friday yet

Way ahead of you pal, already did all the research weeks ago. And no, LN does not have the fastest guy on the field. Nor do they have much an advantage with speed, if any. Don't let them have returns. No pass on them too much. They are INT flies.

Half right. #7 is elite in track. I do believe he is the fastest guy on the field. He goes both ways and is a game changer in return game.

He won’t have a chance to return the ball so he’s neutralized there.

If they don’t throw too many deep balls LN can’t stop the physicality. Just don’t get behind and LN can get routed. Watching these mediocre schools take to the air against 8 7on7 kids back on their heels is comical

I’m planning to watch Platte County at Webb City in person Friday and deciding between Pembroke Hill at Lamar or Seneca at Mount Vernon Saturday afternoon … son wants to go to Pittsburg for Harding University at Pitt State for Division II playoff game.

I’ll wait and read everyone’s thoughts on the other games and perhaps purchase the online broadcast if any other games become instant classics.
