So much disrespect for Coach Fulmer on this board.

How much respect do Miami Dolphin fans have for Nick Saban? Does it matter to you, Teague?

You keep telling yourself that. Nobody is afraid of this guy. I WAS afraid UT might hire a good coach. Now I'm content in knowing you have this clown running the show for a year or two before he's fired and UT has to start rebuilding again.

And you keep telling yourself that you're on Volnation for some other reason.

Also, if Kiffin is such a "clown" than why does Pete Carroll have such rave reviews for the guy and why did Ed Orgeron chose to work for him at Tennessee? I mean, if he was so bad wouldn't coach O know it and go to LSU, if he was such a jerk wouldn't Pete Carroll decline to comment on the guy???

choosing Kiff over Miles and Chavis is hardly a ringing endorsement.

surely your backward Alabama education taught you that an analogy is a form of comparison. I know to expect less from you idiots, but please try harder.

Yes, and a Sherman tank and a Yugo are both vehicles, but they're are some key differences in the two.

well then why don't you walk me down the list of pieces that make an analogy anything but a comparison.

Cut it however you would like, he made a ridiculous comment to even bring the two together. I have a cousin that has been a Bama fan for 30 years, and he said the comments were ridiculous and way out of line. And further more he has lost respect for him as a person. Now we both agree that he is a great coach, but a jerk of a person as well.

I'm not going to go into a whole vocabulary lesson here, but the the definition of an "analogy" hinges on the fact that the two things being compared are similar in some respects, though dissimilar in others.


A comparison says "this is like that".
An analogy says "this aspect of this is like this aspect of that".

Need me to dumb it down more, or is that good enough?

Look outside today and realize you're fighting on a message board. Although I will say... Fulmer sucks! lol

you idiot, a comparison can absolutely be limited to include only what the observer intended.

If comparing things with no differences, what's the need for comparison, you nimrod. Comparisons always include pieces that have differences.

By the by, your senseless example of an an analogy was a simple comparison of certain traits.

Let's boil this down. In your zeal to make one of our posters look silly in making a useless point, you made a stupid and wrong assertion. Let's leave it at that.

Doesn't matter (analogy, comparison) either one. Those two situations should never be linked period.

Teague, you're talking nonsense.

Honestly, don't make it so easy on us. If you really don't know the definition of a word or its proper use, just admit it and move on, man. Admit and move on - not "just-make-something-up-that-sounds-good-at-the-moment-which-I-hope-most-believe"

Here are the respective definitions for each of the two words which seem to be causing you some difficulty, and that which BPV originally referenced:

Analogy
an inference that if things agree in some respects they probably agree in others
drawing a comparison in order to show a similarity in some respect; "the operation of a computer presents and interesting analogy to the working of the brain"; "the models show by analogy how matter is built up"

As you can see, the definition does not contain any necessary dissimiliarities in those items being compared, as you've claimed.

Comparison
the act of examining resemblances; "they made a comparison of noise levels"; "the fractions selected for comparison must require pupils to ...
relation based on similarities and differences

Maybe you should compare the soundness of an argument predicated on improper word usage?

As an analogy, your understanding of the basic definitions and uses of common terms is akin to Nick Saban's truthfulness, poor and lacking.

You cannot go into a vocab lesson because you don't have the ability. After all, you are from Alabama.

I only wish that it were possible to disrespect Fulmer more. I give my all but, yet, I feel that my best is not enough.

The only time that tub of monkey spunk showed any emotion in the last eight years was in an attempt to keep his job. I'm glad he is gone and sad that the stench of his legacy will last a few more years.
