Protégé of the week and other notes
.
With about 4 minutes left in the game, the ND QB throws up a prayer from his own end zone, and it “miraculously” turns into a 95 yard TD
.
People start panicking, and there is a lot of hand wringing about the soon-to-be loss and the missed opportunities and abysmal refereeing
.
UMass goes up 17-7 with just more than a minute left in the half
.
People panic again - and there is a lot of anxiety about App State – Part 2
.
yes
.
The problem is these people either don’t read THE KNOWLEDGE or are too ignorant to understand THE KNOWLEDGE
.
yes
.
Those who understand THE KNOWLEDGE were completely free from anxiety and knew the result beforehand
.
for THE KNOWLEDGE had clearly noted in the season review that Michigan wins all the OOC games. Particularly, in the pointers provided in THE KNOWLEDGE CHALLENGE-1 before the ND game, THE KNOWLEDGE had clearly stated that
- Michigan will win
- ND will lose
.
yes
.
Those that follow THE KNOWLEDGE shall be worry-free
.
The rest can continue to watch THE KNOWLEDGE soar and bask in glory, while being left behind in a cloud of dust
.
yes
.
Now, THE KNOWLEDGE shall reveal the inaugural recipient(s) of the prestigious PROTÉGÉ OF THE WEEK award
.
While no one correctly predicted the M-ND score, the following users came closest (1 point off):
- mgome7 (predicted 27-24 M)
- Baloo_Dance (predicted 28-23 M)
.
Since this is the inaugural award, THE KNOWLEDGE has decided to forgo the essay contest, and honor BOTH with the award
.
yes
.
CONGRATULATIONS!
.
these folks can enjoy their amazing awards for two weeks: this week, and last week
.
yes
.
THE KNOWLEDGE CHALLENGE will return this week for the BGSU game after taking a week off due to his involvement in certain extraordinary activities
.
yes
.

I wonder what it feels like to soar and bask in glory while leaving everyone else in the dust. Only The Knowledge knows.
yes
September 21st, 2010 at 12:15 PM ^
And Denard...
September 21st, 2010 at 12:36 PM ^
"Soaring" and "basking" have always seemed somewhat at odds with one another. Soaring requires motion, and basking (at least according to my cat) is a fairly passive activity.
.
My only conclusion can be that THE KNOWLEDGE lives not in the future, but the futureS. Thus explaining how he can both soar and bask.
.
Much congratulations to mgome7 and Baloo_Dance. May they be left in MY cloud of dust as I take the award next and every week.
.
yes

Didn't we establish that THE_KNOWLEDGE was an imposter? The real THE KNOWLEDGE doesn't use an underscore.
September 21st, 2010 at 2:07 PM ^
Your name suits you.
September 21st, 2010 at 2:12 PM ^
Did you mistake this post for a mirror?
September 21st, 2010 at 2:42 PM ^
My monitor has slobber all over it now because of you. Damn you for finding a picture of pretty much the only good food ever to come out of South Quad.
September 21st, 2010 at 2:17 PM ^
The original knowledge actually lost posting privileges and was forced to return with the underscore, at least that is my dim memory of what happened.
September 21st, 2010 at 3:12 PM ^
just to admire my new signature.
September 21st, 2010 at 10:50 PM ^
Dude, you missed the underscore!?! I don't think THE_KNOWLEDGE is gonna appreciate that...
September 22nd, 2010 at 2:01 PM ^
Those are THE KNOWLEDGE's words. I cut and pasted from his revelation. It is my belief that the underscore is a result of the technical limitations of this blog. (As great as it is, this blog is the product of mere mortals).
September 21st, 2010 at 4:31 PM ^
Shouldnt the knowledge be able to award the winner as soon as they make their predictions? i mean, he/she/it already knows the final score right?
September 21st, 2010 at 4:52 PM ^
I love the Knowledge and his optimism.
yes.
September 21st, 2010 at 5:33 PM ^
With all due respect to mgome7 and Baloo_Dance, I predicted 29-25. So why do they get to soar and bank in glory, while I'm left behind in a cloud of dust?
I think THE_KNOWLEDGE may have only looked on page 1 of the comments. I dare not try to upset THE_KNOWLEDGE for I do not wish to feel his wrath. To be a protege THE_KNOWLEDGE would be a dream come true. I'm sitting here behind this desk looking for a greater purpose.

Hi THE_KNOWLEDGE. I'd just like to say what a huge fan I am of your program. I read all your posts and you've done so much not only for mgoblog, but college football.
Michigan wins 29-25.

September 21st, 2010 at 9:20 PM ^
THIS IS AMERICA!!!
Also, how did you get 29-25? If 9 and 5 were my super bowl numbers I'd be pissed. Those numbers just don't logically add up, because Michigan would probably need two field goals and a safety, neither of which is very likely at this point. Even if we took the Lane Kiffin approach it wouldn't work. And I just don't know about 25. This isn't the average halftime score of a Wisconsin basketball game
September 22nd, 2010 at 10:32 AM ^
Good post but isn't it spelled: Meruca, or in the words of Mr Wayne, "Gosh Darn it's AMerica i tell ya...?"
September 21st, 2010 at 9:10 PM ^
Not sure what to say besides that
September 21st, 2010 at 5:37 PM ^
do this week's proteges even know of their high honor?
September 21st, 2010 at 9:39 PM ^
I was going to enter my prediction for the game but since you are The_Knowledge you already know both the outcome of the game and the score that I was going to select. Please let me know if I have won. Thank you.
September 21st, 2010 at 10:36 PM ^
Michigan wins
September 21st, 2010 at 11:46 PM ^
September 22nd, 2010 at 1:05 AM ^
42-31 : I would love to see an actual Defense show up this weekend, but alas we have none. Denard still goes Denard, and nobody beats this dude. He's got the IT factor and he will win games when it's on the line. He is a leader, a winner, and pretty humble for the next superstar of college football. ESPN is hanging all over his nether regions these days, and it's really nice to see positive stories about our program on national tv again.
September 22nd, 2010 at 1:52 AM ^
THE KNOWLEDGE’S PROTÉGÉ OF THE WEEK
.
yes
September 22nd, 2010 at 6:39 AM ^

I also predict UM 48, BGSU 16.
September 22nd, 2010 at 10:29 AM ^
I Repent for I have doubted THE_KNOWLEGE
.
Yes
.
I will rest easy this weekend for THE_KNOWLEGE has spoken.
September 22nd, 2010 at 10:52 AM ^
Knowledge also claimed Michigan would win all OOC games "comfortably"
Despite this I keep faith in the Knowledge, after all how can he be wrong? Michigan and Boise State are still undefeated!
September 22nd, 2010 at 4:04 PM ^
The defense plays well. That is all.
September 22nd, 2010 at 7:11 PM ^
Mich 52 - Bg 31
September 22nd, 2010 at 8:12 PM ^
All three QBs play.
September 23rd, 2010 at 11:32 AM ^
Michigan 48-17
