The new future, and 2012.4

By THE_KNOWLEDGE — October 12th, 2012 at 11:45 AM — 79 comments
Filed under:
  • THE KNOWLEDGE
  • THE KNOWLEDGE CHALLENGE

.
Everybody that has even a half brain knew last week that Michigan will beat Purdue - that certainly did not require the power of THE KNOWLEDGE to peek into the future
.
This week, everybody that has even a half brain knows that Michigan will beat Illinois - this doesn't require a revelation from THE KNOWLEDGE either
.
yes
.
however, the actual game score is much harder to predict. THE KNOWLEDGE had mentioned last week that Michigan will easily defeat Purdue regardless of any irregularities in the spatio-temporal continuum, thus implying that the score will be one sided
.
many competitors in THE CHALLENGE 2012.3 took the clue and predicted a crushing defeat of the Boilers
.
yes
.
THE KNOWLEDGE will formally congratulate the winners of this and previous editions as well as the current (2012.4) edition of THE CHALLENGE by awarding the POTW next week
.
the reason is rather simple: next week is a virtual bye week for Michigan, and we will have time to talk about other things than the insignificant challenge posed by the spartans from east lansing
.
yes
.
as for this post, THE KNOWLEDGE is happy to reveal that the second discontinuity event reported in the previous post has occurred and the future is now clear
.
Michigan will finish the season 12-2
.
this is the same as the record in the original future, but the opponent to whom Michigan loses has obviously been changed
.
now, Michigan shall not lose another game this season, and will win the Rose Bowl

.

as usual, those that don't believe THE KNOWLEDGE will be left in the dust as THE KNOWLEDGE shall soar when this revelation is shown to be accurate when the progress of time makes the future the past
.
yes
.
THE KNOWLEDGE CHALLENGE 2012.4 is now open. predict the correct score of the Michigan-Illinois game to be the POTW
.
pointers to the game:

  • Michigan will score very many points, and win easily again
  • Illinois will not score many points, and their coach will not chew tobacco on their sideline this time

.

yes
.

I've lost faith in THE_KNOWLEDGE, I'm sorry. For many years I just assumed he was right and never really thought to question him. But now that I open my eyes, it makes so much sense, that backwards causation is not possible, that the world is a natural, rather than KNOWLEDGE phenomenon. Everyone, join me, and LIBERATE YOURSELVES!

Michigan wins 36-13, low score due to the predicted cold rain. In dry conditions Michigan tops 45.
