go look on the projections thread (where this should be banned to) and see if you can find one middle poster that has western ranked ahead of middle.
i'm not gonna proofread it but yesterday every time i saw predictions from a middle poster they had you guys ahead of us. will those guys have to borrow some crow from greek topper to gnaw on if that doesn't happen?
I think anyone who makes predictions, especially in July/early August, should be prepared to eat a little crow, but there is a difference between most MT fans(who believe we'll take a step forward this year and WKU will take a step back which may result in us finishing a place or two ahead of them) and one WKU fan in particular banging the "WKU Sun Belt 2012 Champions" drum all offseason and making a new thread solely devoted to telling everyone who's not picking WKU to win the belt that they are "blind". If WKU does anything other than win an outright championship, that earns at least a modest helping of crow, if WKU finishes middle of the pack or worse that earns truckloads of crow.
Personally, I make no prediction, at least not yet, I do believe that we'll be better than most are giving us credit for and I believe that your Toppers will not be quite as good as most your fans believe, perhaps that means we finish ahead of you, perhaps we don't, but I do not believe that the 2012 Sun Belt football championship trophy will be residing in Murfreesboro or Bowling Green and I'll gladly eat crow if I'm wrong about that(more gladly if it ends up in Murfreesboro of course).
you'll rarely see me make any prediction/projections. mainly because i've raised 2 sons. both fine young men. but i also know how a.d.d./scattered they can be.
how does a group of young men get boat-raced by indiana state then go 7-1 in conference?
2 possibilities there. they underestimated isu as kids can do...got punched in the mouth and didn't respond well.
or.
the sun belt is not really very good. a middle of the pack fcs conference in all actuality. i'm not so sure that's not true. we don't do worth mierda ooc. the same team that lost to an awful u.k. team and an fcs team was 1 first down from going undefeated in conference.
i would hate to have my living determined by 18-23 year old men. i sure won't project what they'll do.
Most people realize that when making projections (differentiated from predictions) that its all subject to change, and are our best guess at the time. It's not serious.
so greektopper WON'T have to eat crow if western doesn't finish first?
what is your prediction of troy fans projections? first place?
My prediction of Troy fans projections? Not sure what you mean there. I project Troy in the #2 spot behind FIU. I hope I'm wrong and we win the conference.
