Which consoles do you own?

As part of my continuing fact-finding mission on your earth "civilization," I would like to know which of the next-gen consoles you own.

I bet you wish you could respond to your own post so you could ask:

"So then why is Gamecube in there?"

This poll would have been better if you just listed all three, and allowed multiple selections.

for the record, I own a PS2, which collects a lot dust most of the time. I did not vote in the poll due to its poor design.

We all know you are anti-pollite. Frankly, we don't want your stinkin' vote. And besides, my design is superior to your proposed design, because it shows the breakdown of multiple consoles owner. So NYAH!!!

Actually, Kodos, I like well done polls. Which explains why I complain about your polls.

The breakdown of multiple console owners would be easy given that the poll records total number of votes.

amateur.

Is this the first poll Kodos has not multiple-doladed immediately after creating it?

If so Marm, you should give Kodos a break, Rigel IV wasn't built in a day.

True.

Speaking of Rigel IV, isn't that part of the axis of evil?

The exact combinations is useless information. What exactly does it tell you about the difference between a guy who owns PS2 and Gamecube, and a guy who owns XBox and Gamecube, and a guy who owns just XBox.

Nothing, that is what it tells you.

At least a rookie is in the professional leagues, you amateur.

I only became a Syracuse fan in 1990, so your dig means nothing to me.

But you change team loyalty so often, it is amazing you are able to keep track of which teams you like during which decade.

I usually deem something useless information, if there is no possible way any sane being can garner anything intelligent out of it. your polls fit that description.

Lacross Orange during the spring/summer, and a bit of football orange in the fall. I am not a big college football fan, but of course support the SU team as far as I am willing to watch college football.

And you last watched a full game in what year?

Btw, is it a coincident or some cosmic principle that the top 3 posters (in total by quantity) are Orangemen (or at least close to it)?

They are inadequate? So 1 losing season in the last 17 years is now considered inadequte? Those are some standards you have there. Who do you like this coming season anyway Kodos? Or do you have to wait for the preseason polls to be announced before you decide?

I never thought of that A. It is surely more than coincidental.

I suspect it's more a statement to the sad work ethic of Syracuse grads.

I will be rooting for Penn State, IU, and Florida State, like I have for the last 2 decades or so.

And, yes, they are inadequate. No championships in our lifetimes = inadequate. IU football, for instance, would be considered inadequate. Just like Syracuse football. And basketball. And probably every other team that Syracuse fields.

Just because you don't care about Lacrosse doesn't mean it is not a significant sport. Most of the top Lacross programs belong to top Universities. Coincidence? No.

Is Hobart considered to be a top university then?

And would it be perhaps a bit easier to dominate in a sport that most schools don't even participate in?

Actually, Syracuse probably gets a few guys from my high school. Any Fairport players on the squad?

you have to question the validity of any sport where a college can make 18 straight final fours.

Kodos, I think Indiana football would be considered wretched or poor. I love it when they show the lacrosse tournament on TV, one of the better sports.
