I think mixing in a little truth is an effective technique. For example, one
tweet about how Utah FB would run the Big12 listed Utah's record against current Big12 teams during the seasons leading up to their entry into the Big 12. The number was right. Of course, which teams were included (Cheesefries deliberately included incoming Big 12 members ASU, UA, CU) and what timeframe to look at (I think it was 3 seasons during which Utah really did dominate the above-mentioned schools) were selected to make the stat as misleading as possible. (I mean, if you are trying to say you are too good for the Big 12, you can't rely too much on your history of beating up on bottom-dwellers from your own previous conference!) Anyway, the way Cheesefries used the number was so misleading and annoying, but the actual stats were correct. I think this is the stuff that really makes me mad: a number that is right supporting an assertion that is infuratingly wrong.

Even in the above-linked tweet, it is true that Kevin Young didn't play D1 college bball. This fact does not support Cheesefries' false assertion that KY doesn't have credibility in the NBA. However, it is annoying that some of the facts are right and are presented as plausible arguments.
