Prediction League RESULTS Thread

So you're gunning for kb, right?

:)

 

Actually, I would like to say that I'm gunning for #1.  But, that is not the case.

I'm extremely reluctant to predict against the Hoosiers any time they have somewhat of a reasonable chance to win.  I get little satisfaction picking a Syracuse over IU and being right.

So I will strongly vote with my heart and soul for the Hoosiers.  Almost always predicting IU to win just seems to me to be the way it should be.

I grew up in Indiana.  Graduated from IU-B.  Married an IU grad and moved to Madison WI.  Got a Civil and Environmental Engineering degree up there.  

Whenever IU plays WI...I cheer unreservedly for IU!

So I picked wrong twice this season.  But I feel great about that.  

I do enjoy predicting though.  I am somewhat surprised so far that IU's scoring is so low.  But, part of that is that the possessions are down because of IU's really decent defense.  No complaints here.

Ha, yeah I couldn't care less where I finish in the prediction league, just do it for fun, and posted before the Wisc game there was no way I was going to pick Wisc. 

I moved to Bloomington in '73 as a little kid, grew up in B-town through the '76, '81 and '87 championships, the last as a junior at IU, always an IU bball fan.

Our O is a combination of integrating a group of new players and getting everyone on the same page in offensive sets, re-adjusting back to actually using the arc (thank God) with new outside shooters, and a roster that's still under construction in Woodson's first year. Looking at our recruiting and Woodson's schemes, the O will continue to get better.

With that kind of gracious, Bloomington-raised, informed, die-hard Indiana fan resume and attitude, Josh is gonna squash you like an overripe grape.

"I don't care if I win or not I'm just having fun" is definitely just something the Score Challenged people say to justify a bad showing.  Want proof?  Here:  Yo @Hovadipo, how's 35th place??

Just happy to be included in the fun game. Seasons Greetings, everyone!

40TH PLACE?! JUST TYPING IN ALL CAPS SO MAYBE YOU CAN HEAR ME WAY DOWN THERE @Josh

You're welcome for motivating you.  But I kinda think something hinky is going on.  Last year I called out @Class of '66 Old Fart and then he got the double secret perfect DM ballot.  This year I call you out and you won the week.  Let's test my super powers...Damn @Str8Hoosiers, for running this fun game, you sure suck at predicting!
