I've never bet on Michigan losing, even if that's what I thought would happen. I bet a lot of people are like that about their team, even when there's no money involved. Some people make predictions, some people add some optimism, some people post what they'd like to see. Somehow it's a new idea to sbee. "No! The thread's title clearly says PREDICTION!!"

What a maroon.

Your team is playing the season opener in a few hours and you are on the M forum counting poster responses on a given thread?

That's not normal.

What point? That Michigan fans pick their team to win? You really cracked the code on that one.

Dafuq do you care what we thought/hoped happened? I still fully expect this team to have a winning record and play in a bowl game which, assuming they're playing another 7-5ish team, I believe they'll win. QB and Smith aside and despite the loss, that wasn't a terrible showing for a first game, on the road in a tough venue against a solid team. The defense looked good outside of two drives and only gave up 17 points and the receivers looked great. I'm encouraged by what I saw because of that was a game last year this team would've quit after the pick 6 and mailed it in.

That is not what I hope will hailed, that is what I believe will happen. Are you happy now, ya twat?

predict
[pri-dikt]

verb (used with object)
1.
to declare or tell in advance; prophesy; foretell:
to predict the weather; to predict the fall of a civilization.

verb (used without object)
2.
to foretell the future; make a prediction.


There's nothing in there about how a prediction has to be from your head rather than from your heart. It just says you declare or tell something in advance, which is what everybody did.

This is the most trivial thing to point out. You wonder why people say you're obsessed...

People say in obsessed because I point out inconvenient truths about your program and it's your only response. Saying that I'm obsessed gives you some kind of temporary high ground since you can't refute the substance of what I said. This has been going on for about 7 years.

I not only called you obsessed, but I also refuted the substance of what you said.

There is no need to change the name of this thread as people are in fact making predictions by definition.

I didn't address that bs earlier, if a prediction is an indication of something you think will happen in the future, why on earth wouldn't that be accurate and objective? The objectivity is what separates a prediction from a wish.
