State Prediction 'fess up

Post by jcarkeys »

For those of you who made predictions about what would transpire at state, tell how you did and whatnot.

And Bill, Nixa at third? I saw them go 3-0 and I was cracking up thinking how you'll try and explain yourself on that one.

Looks like I only predicted Class 4... fairly accurate with Kyle's overhyping of Kirksville making my only inaccurate pick. If I had seen Kirksville play before (or at all) I might have put FZW over Nixa in the consolation game depending on how good they actually were. If I had actually picked I would have gone with TJ/Tarkio, Richland/Fordland, and WCA/Savannah

This thread wasn't started when I started doing that. I fyou can just transfer them and delete the other posts and I am not trying to inflate my post count.

I probably will let the two I missed go since they already said how they did.

I didn't think it was a bad guess... I thought, hey, there are lots of colors named after flowers. Not like there's a whole lot of choices for colors beginning with "H," anyway.

Cheat? Us? Never.

I don't think so. That fan was only like $8, anyway, so it's not really worth a trip up there.

I ran into Coach Allen after the last game, and he told me he was as bewildered as I was at Kirksville's less than optimum performance. As I hinted back in CoMo, the team was juggling more serious concerns, thus throwing off the practice schedule.

I don't think any sort of two-week practice schedule is going to make a team improve 150 points per game.

Just so you know, I'm being dicey about what I post on this, as I know pretty much nothing about why, and sure as heck am in no position to say anything more. (or less for that matter).
