February 22, 201016 yr Darn... I thought this thread was about the game, not the art of correctly making a prediction. :lol: Seriously... And your two post said what about the game? :sssh: You're right, and it's all SSC's fault for getting it off topic. :lol::lol: Just kidding.
February 22, 201016 yr I never look at the line. I make my predictions without knowing what the oddsmakers have to say. I predicted the Bengals would lose to the Jets. Didn't the oddsmakers say the Bengals were 3 point favorites in that game? I certainly wasn't going to let that change my prediction on the game. Understood, but I form my opinion then I look to see what the "experts" say. I've always said I'd like the odds makers to be the selection committee. They'd be better at it than the real one. And like I mentioned earlier they aren't always right, but they're right enough to make it worth looking. You gave me grief for changing an opinion on an outcome of a game b/c of a line. I don't see why that constitutes grief. My opinion was right after looking at the line. My prediction for the Vandy game was UK by a basket. The line was where I thought it would be and I thought Vandy playing Thursday would hurt them. If either team was favored by a few points I might have changed my guess. That was my original point.

Shame on you. :lol: Back to the game.
February 22, 201016 yr OK enough of that. As Hangman has pointed out we have hijacked the thread. Shame on you. :lol: Back to the game. Ok, what was Vandy thinking taking a contested 3 down 1 point?
February 22, 201016 yr Ok, what was Vandy thinking taking a contested 3 down 1 point? Stallings is a really good coach but that one is on him.
February 22, 201016 yr Stallings is a really good coach but that one is on him. Yep and it's on Calipari if Vandy hits a 3 on the last play. I can't believe Wall wasn't told to miss the last FT.
February 22, 201016 yr Ok, what was Vandy thinking taking a contested 3 down 1 point? Stallings is a really good coach but that one is on him. I haven't seen Stallings comments about the game so I hate to place the blame on him without knowing if that is the play he called or not. It looked to me like Beal had an open lane to the basket with Stevenson sliding over to possibly challenge Beal's shot. I though Beal should have definitely taken it to the rim to see if he could draw a foul.
February 22, 201016 yr Yep and it's on Calipari if Vandy hits a 3 on the last play. I can't believe Wall wasn't told to miss the last FT. Agreed. I was screaming for him to miss it.

He was already planning on calling a time out which he said was the dumbest timeout he's ever called, so he's admitted he messed up. Let's cut him some slack.

February 23, 201016 yr Here's a pic from the game Saturday. Looks like Cousins was "distracted" by someone. He looks like he wants to give her the call me sign......
February 23, 201016 yr Yep and it's on Calipari if Vandy hits a 3 on the last play. I can't believe Wall wasn't told to miss the last FT. Because he missed the first one. Cal said on the post game show that he was going to tell him to miss it, had he had made the first free throw. You can blame Wall for that one if you'd like to point fingers.

You can blame Wall for that one if you'd like to point fingers. What? If he makes the first one I wouldn't have minded him making the second. That means a 3 can't beat them. I can see both sides of it if the first ones in but once the first one misses the second one is a must miss IMO. I can't really fault Cal though I guess. Look where he is and look where I am.
February 23, 201016 yr I was at the game. Very good atmosphere. Probably about 3000-3200 Kentucky fans in Memorial Gym.

My good friend in Nashville sold his and his wife's tickets to UK fans for $175 each. He called to tell me how crazy UK fans are. Of course I spent the Music City Bowl weekends with them, so he should know that already. :dancingpa
