Soaring (again); POTW; Looking ahead

By THE_KNOWLEDGE — October 12th, 2011 at 3:52 PM — 82 comments
Filed under:
  • THE KNOWLEDGE

.
SOARING (AGAIN):
Last Saturday, when NW took a halftime lead of 24-14, many doubters contacted THE KNOWLEDGE and laughed THE KNOWLEDGE's pointers to the game. These were the same people that unsuccessfully tried to make fun of THE KNOWLEDGE during the 3rd quarter of the ND game (when M was down 24-7), but less in quantity
.
these people once again are eating dust that THE KNOWLEDGE left behind while soaring again
.
after yet another accurate revelation
.
yes
.
some may still quibble about a minor point wherein THE KNOWLEDGE had indicated Michigan will win by more than 20 points
.
but these people do not understand reality and how changing time can affect the perceptions
.
at the end of the half, the referee incorrectly added two seconds to allow NW to attempt the field goal; this was incorrect. the correct score actually is 42-21; thus THE KNOWLEDGE's pointer is, once again, correct
.
the only thing that can change THE KNOWLEDGE's information about the future is if time itself is altered like the ref did. however, the referee is not powerful enough to change the overall results revealed by THE KNOWLEDGE; only a minor and inconsequential anomaly
.
yes
.
POTW:
In light of the above, the POTW is awarded to those that predicted EITHER 42-21 or 42-24
.
yes
.
however, to make matters easier for the less discerning readers, THE KNOWLEDGE shall henceforth award the POTW to only those that predict the time-altered version of the results (although that kind of aberration only happens 3 times a decade)
.
due to spatio-temporal constrains, THE KNOWLEDGE will congratulate the winners of THE CHALLENGE (POTW) from the last 3 weeks during the bye week coming up. you know who you are; so congratulate yourself until then
.
yes
.
LOOKING AHEAD:
THE CHALLENGE for the week features the M-msu game of course, which many people are eagerly awaiting
.
Predict the score correctly to be the POTW
.
pointers to the game:

  • MSU is the best defense that Michigan will face all year during the regular season
  • MSU specifically game plans for M, and usually plays their best game of the year due to the deranged mentality of their coach
  • Denard has not yet overcome his tendency to throw bad interceptions
  • THE KNOWLEDGE did not show Michigan going undefeated this season
  • But, is this the game that Michigan loses?
  • ?

.

yes

I agree with the knowledge that the time-space continuum was distorted by the refs during the NU game.  I was there and saw a strange light eminating from the clock as it hit zero.  I was not fooled by the devious clock stoppers.

The MSU offense is not going to do too much, accounting for only two field goals. However, two Denard picks also lead to a TD and another field goal. 16 points for MSU, for the mathematically challenged, like me.

UM has a strong first drive, and marches down the field for a TD. However, after this, there is a scoring drought, with only one FG scored for the rest of the half. Fortunately, we are turning into a second half team, and this week, we get two TDs in the second half, one off of Denard wizardry, and one off of a running back led drive. Fitz? Vince? Shaw? Doesn't matter, as UM sneaks by MSU to the tune of a 24-16 win . . . . 

PS - one of our scores is off of a fumble, when Cousins gets nailed and puts the ball on the ground after his turnstile of an o-line lets the rusher through untouched. Jake Ryan? Craig Roh?

I don't believe MSU will keep Michigan to fewer than our lowest score (28 vs SDSU). The offense is too good to be shut down completely and our defense can score points.

I think the MSU offensive line will keep little brother from scoring touchowns until the game is out of reach.

Their offensive line is in shambles and our defensive line is ready to split some skulls. Did anybody watch the OSU MSU game? When you stop their running attack, they have nothing but Cousins throwing picks. We will score early and often and destroy this defense that got torched by the only good team they've played so far this year.
