Check out all the predictions threads and tell me how often I've been wrong, nub.

OK:

The only predictions I was interested in involve WSU. Your predictions
shake out as follows:

Your assumption that WSU would win no road games served you well and got you 7 of 8, however you could have done as well flipping a coin for home games and done as well -- 5 out of 9. Overall, you probably did no better than the Las Vegas betting line.

What really discredits you are your comments and projection of future events made all season long, a sampling of which follows:

12/26 For the 19th time, ... 8th.
12/28 And thats why we're no better than an 8th place Valley team.
12/28 Murry sure gets selfish when he's not scoring. He looks dumb.
12/28 I've predicted this team to be an 8th place team from the get-go and when I mention it in a game we're giving away it's a la meltdown?
12/28 Maybe someday we should meet outside of this wonderful forum so I could kick some grandpa ass.
12/28 You've pretty much described an 8th place team. Thanks!
1/02 The good news is our next opponent is one of two winnable opponents we'll face this year.
1/04 Read the sig. (although I did'nt expect worse than 8th)
1/04 I'm also positive 8th is the best we can do.
1/11 We just are'nt a team thats gonna win on the road this year. I'm sorry. I'm still a fan. I'm not a bandwagoner. Just because I know what the ultimate result is, does'nt mean I'm gonna just stop caring.
1/14 Agreed. This is a joke of a team.
1/14 Wow
did some of you really think we were better than a 9th place team this year?
1/29 Ya, major choke job by Drake today. That officially seals it. We are a play-in team. (should'nt be a surprise to anyone though)
1/30 Our only shot at 6th would involve us winning on the road at least once at some point. I don't see that happening. Play-in is a lock.
1/31 Our guards blow. Simple as that. This will be a close game at the end because of it. I promise you.
2/04 Trust me, we will be playing on Thursday night. 0-6 was to deep of a hole to overcome.
2/14 UNI will make every 3 they attempt in the final minute. Watch.
2/16 A word of caution though guys. I hate to be the redundant Debbie Downer, but we're still a few losses from being a 7th - 8th place team.
2/18 This team just turns it over to many times to be an upper division finisher.
2/18 If Drake beats UNI in Cedar Falls we are officially cooked.
2/24 We have to hit every free throw because ISU will probably make every 3 down the stretch. Guaranteed.
2/25 Because when we lose down there on Saturday, we're saying helloooooo Thursday.
2/25 Seeeeeee Yaaaaaa Thursday guys.
2/25 We are so &@^#ed.
2/25 We just need to get this season over with....
2/25 Destiny says we're headed for Thursday.
2/26 It's a win-win either way. If we win, I'm estatic as ever that we managed to avoid Thursday by winning in a place where we have'nt won in a decade, and I am gladly eating crow. And then of course if we lose, I'm proved right, which is technically a win, but it sucks in the grand scheme of things.
2/26 I've had a change of heart WSU 62 SIU 56.



Sadly, this is but a small sample of what you posted. You are without a doubt currently the most prolific poster here and on VT. Can't you comprehend how annoying it is to hear the same thing over and over again from the same poster. You are as I believe SR suggested like a nagging housewife. In the end your season long predictions of doom has not panned out regardless of the outcome tomorrow. With a Bradley loss tomorrow and a win over SIU we could actually end up tied for 4th.

One day before our last game you do an about face and predict a victory over SIU on the road. In so doing, you forfeit your ability to celibrate by telling us, I told you so. Being the loser you are, You simply lost all confidence and threw in the towel.

First of all.. WOW. You need help. It takes a lot of effort and built-up hatred inside to take the time to pull that beauty off. A for effort for sure though. :good:

Secondly, it's easy to just pick out all of the 'negative' things I've said and ignore every positive thing I've mentioned. It would probably equal out in the long run. Not bad, considering we're only 15-14 on the year.

Of all those cute quotes you pulled, probably more than half of them are accurate and still have the chance of being accurate. So, I really don't understand what your point was in that. If I am proved wrong, I definitely wasn't off by much, considering it's all coming down to ONE game. Also, a good percentage of those we're made out of frustration and in the moment, which I have kindly admitted to in the past. And you may not know this, but a BUNCH are made thanks to my unlucky self - reverse psychology if you will.. I pulled that from KC. :lol: In regards to the SIU game, I didn't realize how much I dislike Southern Hicks U.. and am trying to will the Shox into a win for a change. My Lord, I do something that you people want me to do and I still get ripped for it. You make me laugh calboy.

So the answer to the original question I asked you, I am 12 of 17 for the year. That's 70%. It's not an A, but it passes, and it means I'm 20% more right than I am wrong. Again, does that really prove anything for you?

And finally, it's easy to point out all of my 'flaws' and 'negativity' when I go balls out and at least make predictions. I haven't seen you predict JACK SHEET. You are the LAST soul on here that should be trying to call me out on being 'wrong', which was proved untrue anyways. You're eager to jump right up and cast your greatness over me, but yet you're as quiet as can be when crunchtime comes.

You sir.. undoubtedly,...


FAIL. :good:

I just noticed the schedule does not show that the game is on TV! Is it on TV or not?????

[ShockerFever]

I just noticed the schedule does not show that the game is on TV! Is it on TV or not?????

Last I knew, it was added to KN22. It was on TBA for a while, in case Fox wanted to pick up the game. They didn't, so KN22 did.

[engrshock]

Bruce Haertl indicated e had to go to SIU for tomorrow which would generally mean that it is on TV.

[forevershockerfan]

Soooooo---when we win---what is the very best case scenerio where we get the best results with the other Valley games? What is the best we can finish and the worst? It would seem that Lowery will play the 'logic card' for his team to win this game versus WSU for Mullins who may not play? However, HCGM could point to the opportunity to avenge a tough loss in Wichita when we were struggling. To rain on their Senior parade could be a foretaste of big future wins to follow. This would be a su-weet victory that could march us to the Lu with some serious swagger on our way to future March Dances as our Program continues to improve. However, even without Mullins, they will tough to beat at their site. The Shocks will have to earn the win.

After all, we were respectable in our last tourney at a nuetral site versus some serious competition. Furthermore, with FSF and SF agreeing on something, how could we lose? Come on Shocks!!! Finish strong in the Valley and cause no Valley team to want to play us at the LU!!!!!!! :wsu_posters:

First of all, Yeah it took considerable effort to put that together, but nothing compared to the time you must spend on here and on VT posting. I'm retired. You...Unemployed?

Secondly, Yeah it's easy to pick out 'negative' things you've said. What is difficult is finding 'positive' things you've said. If you say they exist, surely they do. One thing I'm certain of is that the positives do not balance out the negatives, not even a close call.

Thirdly, all of the quotes are dead on accurate and I think you know that. It really amazes me that you can hang your hat on the outcome of one game and say your predictions were'nt off by much. Your strategy of deny, deny, deny is laughable.

You attribute some of your remarks to reverse psychology due to your unlucky self. Are you actually acknowledging that you are in fact a loser or is that just an excuse for saying stupid things?

I did in fact concede that your predictions of individual game results were'nt all that bad, however those particular predictions were not the focus of my original posts.

Lastly, You say I am the last soul on here to be calling you out on being wrong because i don't predict JACK SHEET and am quiet as a mouse come crunch time.

You are right again, I have'nt been making any predictions, However I did make a prediction for todays game and it is now crunch time.

The primary reason I come on this board is to keep in touch with the state of the program. There are several posters here that do in fact know a lot about whats going on, have considerable knowledge of the game and provide interesting observations from unique perspectives, all of which I value. You sir, provide none of that yet post more than anybody else. I really don't mind it when some of the posts go negative, but you take it to another level.

You say I undoubtedly failed. I wasn't trying to prove anything, just stating an opinion. I know of no Shocker-net rule that requires a certain number of posts or predictions to do so.

GoShockers.com has it listed as being on KN22 - and I'm pretty sure Bruce is heading that way.

Everyone predicting a win at SIU? A place we haven't won at in a decade? We have only won 1 road game this year and are 3 - 19 the last two years on the road? Have you all lost your cotton picken mind?

Quit smokin' the wheat folks! We are improving, but we haven't improved to the point where we can win on the road at that hostile environment.

If we who predicted a win here smoke the wheat, what substance did you use?
I checked the odds (on Yahoo) this morning. 4 of the bookers give SIU 3.5, but SportsBetting and Sportbook give WSU 4 points. That tells us something, even though betting odds doesn't mean much.
Definitely there is a great chance tonight! ;-)

Shockfever & Calshock please take your discussion to private message.

Go Shocks!!!!

[DUShock]

Team with a coach that looks like he could still play--56
Team with a coach that looks like he loves a buffet---53

Now that's a funny prediction. As I stated in another thread this game will go to the wire

Go Shocks!!!!

I'm glad to know you follow me around on other sites as well. You tell me what's worse: Spending time on a message board and posting your actual thoughts/feelings or spending the same amount of time on a message board lurking like a lil pansy.

You aren't on the board enough to know whether my negatives outweigh my positives, remember? Maybe I'm just a glass-empty kinda guy when it comes to sports. Ever thought of a fan being a fan and not having to have 24 hours of sunshine to go with it?

How is one game in a 30 game season not being 'close'? You lost me there gramps. Please point out all the quotes you pulled up that don't have a chance of being accurate.

But it was my intent on making predictions and you conveniently left those out of your cute little rant. Of course it wasn't your intent to post things that make me 'right'.

Man, you're sure telling me I'm right a lot. Kinda ironic that it destroys your whole 'debate'. But it is a fact that you have no room for talk. NONE.

It is not necessary to visit this site and read my opinions. If your old eyes can't take it, then bypass everything that says ShockerFever next to it. Your eyes definitely aren't being forced to read it... unless you WANT to read it.

You really seem obsessed with the whole post count statistic. I promise you there are plenty on this board that have more posts than me. Are you saying SubGod is unemployed and annoying because he has over 10k posts? Please don't cramp your regressing brain with stuff that doesn't make sense. You must be envious of post counts. That's sad for such an old and accomplished figure as yourself. Get over it. It's just a number, kinda like your age. Okie dokie?

Oh and as painful as it is for you to see that you're wrong, I am employed. (And don't try the McDonalds line either. It's an old line and entirely inaccurate.)
