    The art of building up your opponent

    This seems to me a no brainer and low hanging fruit. Coaches certainly get it. But on most sports boards it's unheard of.
    When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

    I agree. This is the second biggest sports message board mistake next to looking past your next opponent.

      This is a great thread. Why not getting more action?

      And what about the importance of a sports message board bouncing back quickly after a tough loss?

        Yes. Very important.

        As for the upcoming NCAA tournament, I plead with all CUF'ers to take it one game at a time.

          Agree totally. They also need to learn the lesson of patience and perseverence.

            You need to try harder to keep up. I am way past that stage and have moved on to the advanced message board arts.

              When we are quiet it means we are agreeing with SU. Duh.
