The coot fan who is never wrong

Last night an argument began between myself and a coot in our fantasy league. Said coot made the statement that Clemson was pathetic vs the SEC over the last 7 years. So I gave him the record...
7-9 (including coots oct 23 2006 to oct 23 2013)
I also gave him the record over the last 10 years (oct 23 2003 to oct 23 2013)
11-9
He then says:
"we are better than that the last 10 years...talk to us when you are better against the best conference in America. LOL"
So I proceed to provide him with Clemson's SEC record the last 10 years as well as SCUjr's record vs those same teams clemson played the same years (we played 2 that scujr didn't play in 2008 and 2011, so I used the closest game vs the opp)
Clemson 11-9 over 10 years vs SEC SCUjr 7-13 vs those same teams in the same year (or the next if not played)
He then says "No I was refering to last 7 years why are you using 10?"
So I gave him last 7 years common opponents
Clemson 7-9 Scujr 7-9
He then says "I'm not talking about common opponents. I'm talking about all SEC games"
So I gave him all SEC games over 10 years
Clemson 11-9 (.550) Scujr 44-41 (.518)
At this point his head is about to explode (Or at least that's what it seemed through facebook) and he says he's going to calculate the records himself.
He then comes back using 2004 to present. I proceed to tell him that that is only 9.5 years. He then tells me well 2013 can't count and that it has to be full seasons (2003 - 2012).....
I tell him he's pathetic, he refuses to admit he's wrong (as usual with coots) and the coot world turns as coot logic is still alive and well more than ever.

Well if he only counted the games that they won and only counted the games that we lost, maybe then he would have something. lol

When anyone makes an attempt to argue with stupid, it makes them feel stupid.

No it's actually very rewarding to prove them wrong in every way.

I see what you're trying to do but comparing winning % when you've played 18 vs the other whose played 85 games is statistical gerrymandering.
