Why I generally avoid predictions
Sunday September 30, 2007
Have you ever written anything where every sentence was completely wrong? I’m talking “French benefits” wrong. This was posted on the DawgVent by me on Friday:
WV wins pretty easily
USF won’t win by scoring 20 or so points again. WVa won’t help again with 4+ turnovers. Emotion won’t carry USF past the 1st quarter.
If WVa doesn’t win the Big East undefeated, they should drop football.
Let’s see:
- WV wins pretty easily. Wrong. 21-13 loss.
- USF won’t win by scoring 20 or so points again. Wrong. It only took 21.
- WVa won’t help again with 4+ turnovers. Wrong. There were six.
- Emotion won’t carry USF past the 1st quarter. Wrong. It carried them the whole way. They probably still haven’t come down.
- If WVa doesn’t win the Big East undefeated, they should drop football. Even this was wrong. Best I can tell, West Virginia is getting ready to play Syracuse.
My solace? At least I’m not this guy.
