Never said you made a prediction. You did reject the notion that northwestern was average.
They’re just bent out of shape because they’re known to be the worst fans around. Gotta take its toll on them after a while.
Nope. Didn't say that either. I made a weak troll about Michigan but said nothing about Northwestern.
I said Purdue lost to an average Northwestern team.
You replied "Purdue played Northwestern, not Michigan" implying that Michigan is average and Northwestern is not.
Now you are flailing. It's okay to be wrong, dude. Purdue sucks. Northwestern sucks. Accept it and move on.
I'm just looking for one of them to drop a "Yeah, Purdue and Northwestern are both worse than I thought". Instead we get someone bragging about splitting a small golf tournament pot.
Dude, it was a joke. A weak one...but a joke nonetheless. I would have thought you smart enough to realize that. My bad.
Northwestern started 2-3 last year and got bitch slapped much worse by Duke and ended up finishing 10-3. I have no idea if they are any good (they certainly don't look it) but I would have said the same last year and been wrong as well.
I don't prognosticate because it's damn difficult to do when it comes to football. Shit, the Saints are losing 12-3 to the Browns at home in the 4th quarter.
So you're giving him credit for his intelligence based on nothing other than him being from Indiana. Got it. No one ever accused you if being smart. I'd probably actually think you might be Dakich if you were smart enough to spell his name correctly.
He's been absolutely mediocre or worse at everything he's done related to basketball. He's a joke in the industry, but I can't stop you from loving him. I guess you're proof that love isn't logical.
Amidst the numerous other Purdue fans calling Northwestern a solid team or bragging about them winning 10 games last year, it's hard to know who is being serious and isn't.
You stand naked in front of mirrors and stare at yourself for far too long. Just a guess.
Lol..... 2 of those three losses were to Wisconsin and Penn State.
This year, they were projected as a mid tier team and have proceeded to:
1. Struggle with a bad Purdue team
2. Lose at home to Duke
3. Lose at home to Akron
I think it's time to accept that they just are a mid tier team (and that might be generous).
Well, it was bound to happen, but this thread has finally turned to shit. We've now delved into the arguments about Dan Dakich and about northwestern being good in football.
All we need now, is for someone to talk about Iowa getting one of these 5*'s their recruiting and then we've officially ran out of shit to talk about!

Nah not yet, football is my least favorite thing to bet and I always feel like I need a couple of weeks not only for my personal eye test but also for some stats to accumulate and be able to break down match ups more effectively. It’s been strictly Draft Kings for me. Did well last week but had a pretty bad day today.
You take betting advice from a guy that thinks one must have a 6th sense to predict a team being average?
A (successful) gambling man should be able to see where I was coming from re: Northwestern.
How much money did you put on Akron this week? You’ve got some weird fetish with this whole NW thing. EVEN if I did claim NW to be some powerhouse this year (which I have clearly never done) it’s okay to be wrong sometimes Hail. Life moves on, there’s always another bet to make or stance to take.
Do you agree that it doesn’t take a 6th sense to predict how good some teams will be?
My 6th sense comment was about seeing the future, you were acting like the whole year had already played out.
So you agree that there are reasons outside having a 6th sense to come up with the conclusion that a team isn’t good? Because that’s basically the whole concept behind sports betting. You don’t have to know the future or have a 6th sense to make educated statements or picks.
Well I tried to get the thread back to normal
I’d rather discuss Northwestern gymnastics than read a 5 page slapfest of Indiana vs Purdue football recruiting.
I was saying that there was plenty of information avilaible to support NW not being an above average team. You acted like that wasn’t possible because I didn’t have a 6th sense. Anyone who gambles on sports should understand where I was coming from.
Won money on overs on Ohio State and Oklahoma games. Only bets I made. Gonna be a great year
You’re the one that’s derailing the thread and steers it towards that way.
Over/Under for Big 12 games is almost free money sometimes.
I told myself that as long as one Purdue slappy came back and acknowledged That NW isn’t good I’d drop it. 6 of you posted and yet here we are.
Your 6th sense comment was terrible. I didn’t realize you were a better. Betters should understand where I was coming from.
Well as someone that did not take a hard stance on NW football one way or another seeing as I dont follow their football program at all, you were right about NW as of week 3. Now please stop tagging me in these NW posts because I truly do not give a shiitt if they don’t win another game this season.
Again, you’re taking my 6th sense comment out of context like I’ve tried to explain. All I was implying was let’s let the season play out before claiming something as being absolute. Of course I try to make educated predictions, but I don’t claim something as right or wrong 3 months before the season plays out.
Iowa overs in basketball won like 90% of the time last season
