Am I a bit arrogant and abrasive, yea I admit that, it's just part of my general personality.

You've never made any bones about it, and why should you? For most people, it isn't a big deal. For some it is.
But for guys like milk to act like it's surprising is, well, surprising. When you tell somebody what they said is dumb, 9 times out of 10 they're going to respond as if they were attacked.

How do you know that person took 5 minutes to watch? Nobody here admits "hey, I like such and such, but I never watched him play". The only way you could make such an assertion is to ASSUME that they only watched 5 minutes of college football. And to make that assumption, you'd have to had already judged that their take wasn't as good as yours. That's INHERENTLY condescending. I'm not saying necessarily that there's anything wrong with it, but it's easy to see why people react the way they do.
