Predictions

This is where I will keep track of all the things I thought would one day happen.  If I have blogged about the topic, I will link to the post.

For now I will keep just a list of items, and then as I learn more about how to work adding in a new page (and hopefully post entries within the page) I will clean it up.  The format will stay fairly consistent: Prediction, Time of Prediction, Outcome 

1) Blockbuster will go out of Business or be significantly changed (i.e. not fueled by sales of DVD’s) by 2013

Time: Predicted 11/08 (blog entry)

Outcome: Pending

2) The Bruins will have the most success of Boston’s four major sports teams over the next five years

Time: Predicted 11/08 (log entry)

Outcome: Pending

3) USC will crush Penn State in the 2009 Rose Bowl.  USC is favored by 9 and will cover.  

Paterno v. Carroll does not seem a fair matchup (favor USC) and the Trojans still have all the talent they’ve had since the start of the season when they were the preseason #1.

Time: Predicted before Rose Bowl 1/1/09

Outcome: Correct, USC 38 -24

4) Carolina is favored by 10 over Arizona.  Too many things stack up against AZ to have them come even close:

weather, Carolina is rested, AZ is content with a home playoff win and low expectations, travel to the east coast, Boldin is out, AZ cannot stop the run and Carolina has a great RB, Carolina loves to throw long and that is another weakness for AZ.

I think Carolina covers (easily).

Time: Predicted on 1/9/09 (game 1/10/09)

Outcome: Incorrect,  AZ 33-13
