Congratulations!! And other items

By THE_KNOWLEDGE — October 19th, 2011 at 4:21 PM — 18 comments
Filed under:
  • THE KNOWLEDGE

.
CONGRATULATIONS!!
.
first and foremost, congratulations are due to THE KNOWLEDGE for yet again correctly revealing the result of the msu game in his pointers to the game
.
yes
.
next, THE KNOWLEDGE congratulates all the winners of the prestigious POTW award so far this year. the following have risen above the crowd in previous weeks in most accurately predicting the game score and thus becoming Proteges
.

 






CHALLENGE # Opponent Winner Prediction Actual
1 Notre Dame Mrohblue; los 35-31 35-31
2 EMU U Fer M 34-3 31-3
3 Minnesota KAYSHIN15 53-3 58-0
4 Northwestern shoes untied; profitgoblue 42-24 42-24 (42-21)
5 Msu Jim Harbaugh Scramble 21-30 14-28

.
THE KNOWLEDGE exhorts everyone to improve their proficiency and strive for the greatest honor awarded in this blog: TOP FRIEND OF THE KNOWLEDGE, which shall be provided at the end of the season
.
yes
.
OUTLOOK FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON
.
in his pointers to the game, THE KNOWLEDGE clearly stated that M will lose the game to the msu aggies; yet most people predicted a Michigan win
.
and when that didn't happen, have started worrying about the rest of the season and debating whether M will finish 9-3 or 8-4
.
these people don't understand THE KNOWLEDGE
.
THE KNOWLEDGE has said it before, and will say it again:
Those that follow THE KNOWLEDGE shall be worry-free
.
yes
.
all one has to know is that THE KNOWLEDGE predicted a season record of 12-2. this obviously means Michigan will play in the BTCG
.
this also means that M will not finish the regular season 9-3 or worse
.
those that follow THE KNOWLEDGE know this already and shall eschew undue anxiety
.
yes
.
GAME THEORY:
.
in this rare instance, THE KNOWLEDGE will discuss about something other than the future
.
yes
.
While a great number of people have been questioning the play calling of Michigan on the 4th and 1 play in the 4th quarter, everyone has missed the larger point
.
Michigan must have taken a time-out and:
1. reviewed the spot of the ball, and
2. if that did not work, gone for the easy field goal there
.
yes
.
The aim is to win in regulation, not to tie the score and win in overtime in a hostile environment; and you do that by scoring twice. given that the msu aggies' offense was not doing much after the previous momentum switch, M must have scored the field goal, and gone for the subsequent touchdown after the ensuing msu punt
.
this is the type of clear and rational thinking that wins games even with inept play calling
.
yes
.
of course, all of this is a moot point that is only interesting to debate. the result of the game had already been established in the future, and THE KNOWLEDGE had already revelaed this before the game
.
THE CHALLENGE for next week will re-appear as a forum topic; hence, readers are asked to watch out carefully to participate in the event for the chance to be next week's POTW
.
yes
.

Give us a break. A Michiigan Man would understand that knowledge is acquired through study, analysis and time. The knowledge is a joke and best suited for a less astute student body. Please go hang out with the buckeyes or Spartans who may better appreciate you on their lower intillectual level.

Please quit posting... And waisting our time.

You obviously forgot the sarcasm tag, right?   You abhor THE KNOWLEDGE for a "lower intillectual level" and for "waisting our time".    My intellect was wasted reading this post (unless, of course, your sarcasm meter was not properly deployed).

FWIW, THE KNOWLEDGE brings smiles to legions of MGoBloggers.  It's not for everyone.   Please move along if you don't enjoy the weekly ride.

as the guys that post anti-Knowledge comments, treating an entertainment post like it was some sort of serious tome. You are probably the same type of guy that watched E.T. and when the kids bikes went up into the sky at the end of the film, said derisively, "I'm so sure."
