Are You Seriously Arguing With Me...Without an Actual Point?

Yes I'll admit it - Clemson and South Carolina fans will always argue and there doesn't always have to be a point. But sometimes its just ridiculous!

Clemson was in Columbia on Saturday for the 99th consecutive meeting of the in-state rivals. (We've actually played 104 games).

Anyways, Clemson was ahead most of the game, but USC pulled ahead in the last few minutes of the game. Clemson kicked a field goal as time ran out, winning 23-21.

That of course leads to "Who SHOULD have won" debates.

Case in point:

I was on my Facebook on Sunday, when I got a message from a girl I went to school with at USC. (Keep in mind, I'm Clemson fan who went to school at University of South Carolina)

Here's how the conversation went:

Her: cutting it pretty close there, huh?

Me: Yup, but a win is a win.

Her: But who wants a "barely" win?

Me: "Barely Winning" is better than "Barely Losing"

Her: No, its not...if you barely win that mean you almost lost. But if you barely lose that means you almost won and winning is great.

Me: Exactly. But almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. So at the end of the day, whoever has the most points wins. Hence the fact that Clemson won. Like you said "winning is great."

Her: Everybody gets lucky once in a while.

Me: Wow. I'm astonished at how well thought out your arguments are. You should be a professional debater.

Her: haha thanks!!! hey it'll be your birthday soon and you'll be soo old.

Ummmmm...what?

Am I the only one who doesn't understand her logic?
