"I'm not trying to be rude nor disrespectful to the Orange, and I'm sure not being sarcastic. I save that for people that I know. You said you thought Quinnipiac started poorly. I thought they had the upper hand throughout. This is D-I, and I know that Paul Flanagan understands that and schedules accordingly. You don't get judged by a different standard because you come from a different league once the tournament starts. Maybe that's why we viewed the game differently, if you were thinking Syracuse is #18, and I'm thinking they're just another team that has to win or its season will end, no matter how it got to this point."
Viewing everyone through a Minnesota lens, what I'd call winners bias, is exactly the problem I'm identifying and whether you intend to or not, you sound like you're intentionally being a jerk, probably moreso to actual SU diehards.
