Take your medicine, wise guy

OK, so back before the season begins, I pick how I think each game will turn out. This annual exercise in humility is always amusing when it is all over...

Without further ado, here we goooooooooooooo.....

11/14/08 vs. Georgia State Minneapolis, Minn. L (We won)

11/15/08 at Minnesota Minneapolis, Minn. L (We lost)

11/16/08 vs. Concordia-St. Paul Minneapolis, Minn. W (We won)

11/20/08 vs. Wayne State Bowling Green, Ohio W (We won)

1/24/08 at Ohio State Columbus, Ohio L (We lost)

12/01/08 at Savannah State Savannah, Ga. W (We lost)

12/06/08 at Illinois State Normal, Ill. L (We lost)

12/14/08 vs. Detroit Bowling Green, Ohio W (We won)

12/20/08 at Central Arkansas Conway, Ark. W (We lost)

12/22/08 vs. Towson Bowling Green, Ohio W (We won)

12/28/08 vs. Eastern Illinois Bowling Green, Ohio W (We won)

12/31/08 at Duquesne Pittsburgh, Pa. L (We lost)

01/03/09 vs. Fordham Bowling Green, Ohio W (We won)

01/10/09 vs. Buffalo Bowling Green, Ohio W (We won)
01/14/09 at Kent State Kent, Ohio L (We lost)
01/17/09 vs. Akron Bowling Green, Ohio W (We lost)
01/20/09 vs. Miami Bowling Green, Ohio L (we lost)
01/24/09 at Ohio Athens, Ohio L (We won)
01/28/09 vs. Ball State Bowling Green, Ohio W (we won)
01/31/09 at Northern Illinois DeKalb, Ill. W (we won)
02/04/09 vs. Western Michigan Bowling Green, Ohio L (we won)
02/07/09 at Central Michigan Mount Pleasant, Mich. W (We won)
02/11/09 at Toledo Toledo, Ohio W (We won)
02/15/09 vs. Eastern Michigan Bowling Green, Ohio W (we lost)
02/18/09 at Buffalo Buffalo, N.Y. W (We won)
02/21/09 TBA (ESPNU BracketBusters) -----
02/26/09 vs. Kent State Bowling Green, Ohio L (We won)
03/01/09 at Akron Akron, Ohio W (We won)
03/05/09 at Miami Oxford, Ohio L (We lost)
03/08/09 vs. Ohio Bowling Green, Ohio W (We won)

Overall, I thought we would be 18-11. Not counting post-season or the bracket buster, we were 18-11. So, that's not too bad. And, I thought we would be 10-6 and we were 11-5. So, that's not too bad, either.

Of course, when you pick like that, the changes cancel each other out. Let's get to the real numbers....on a game by game basis, I got 21 right and 8 wrong. You know, that's not nearly as humbling as it usually is!

And, you three of those were games (Savannah, C.Ark, and EMU) that it was a real shame we didn't win.
