Comments from Mr. Groundhogs Punxsutawney Phil speach!!

Phil saw his shadow and thus we are headed for 6 more weeks of winter!

A quote from Phil "Please everyone. Replace all your headlights and change them wiper blades! Everyday a new friend or family memeber dies from you not paying attention. So please replace those bulbs in your headlights and change them wiper blades."

And I was hoping we could move up the spring game a few weeks. Guess we cant since we will still have snow of the ground.

According to the Farmers Almanac next week we are in for 8 - 15 inches of snow.

February 2005
1st-3rd. Wet, then clearing and cold. 4th-7th. Major storm, heavy snow accumulations of 8 to 15 inches. 8th-11th. Clearing and colder. 12th-15th. More snow, especially Great Lakes. 16th-19th. Fair. 20th-23rd. Snowstorm. 24th-28th. Fair and cold.

Actually, the quote from Phil was this...

"In 2005, Bowling Green State University will win the MAC Title and crash a BCS Bowl!".

I am happy to announce that I saw my shadow, thus breaking the 3-loss streak. 12-13 wins next year with flurries of points. We have an increased chance for Tight Ends, as well.

They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me, and baby I got you.

When was the last time that little bastard didn't see his shadow????

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I made the "wrong" prediciton again. Don't you people realize its the same thing no matter what I say?
All the time people say "that stupid groundhog" if I predict the wrong thing. I'm the stupid one, huh? You're the ones that can't tell there's no difference between six and six!
Really, the only reason I put on this act is so I can list something legit on my tax returns. I pull in so much cash from gambling, they get suspicious when my bank account gets bigger around this time of year. Let me tell ya, all that bank ain't from shadow spotting. It's from the super bowl.
Which brings me to my point...
I, as a professional forecaster (psychic, if you will) have spent several hours in the bathroom thinking this over (everyone knows that's where geniuses do their best thinking. Hemmeroids is a fair trade off for genius) and see three teams going undefeated in 2005: Oklahoma, Florida, and BGSU.
Now, I haven't quite worked out a few details as far as the BCS setup goes (there's a few things I still need to work out in that bathroom, if you know what I mean) and with a new system in place its hard to predict who will finish where. One thing's for sure, though. BG makes the BCS somewhere. As for Florida and Oklahoma, the Gators will fall and the coach's wife will unleash the firey depths of Hell upon the official who supposedly made the 'wrong' call. Fire and brimstone will rain down from the skies and a dark age of suffering will begin at the hands of a creature known only as "Shelley"

Not the brightest of predictions, I know, but I just call 'em as I see 'em.
And I see 'em right.
