A pessimistic fan's best approach:

Predict a loss

This way, you are either correct and happy (because your prediction came true) or incorrect and happy (because your team won).

You'd think that, but for me the happiness from "my prediction was right" is way less than the guilt from "I betrayed my team"

So happy for Dra Gibbs-Lawhorn. He has provided a spark off the bench that we may have been missing. That block against Washington was extremely impressive (called a foul but I do not think it was a foul). The guy is lightning fast and a great defender.

Illini 89
Penn State 71

Yes. During the 2005 season Himey would predict crushing defeat by 20+ points every game regardless of opponent. As I recall, it started as a real prediction early in the year and the picks became more and more absurd as it became clear that we were on an historic run.

Wow, thanks, I learned another layer of the Loyalty lore today.

Do you put Kylan on Baldwin and then who covers Kern. They are your two weapons that have hurt us in the past.

We NEED to shore up our post defense or Nederhauser and Hicks will eat us alive down low. The good news is that Penn State doesn't have much in the way of depth up front, so if we can get both of these guys in foul trouble, we'll be cruising. The bad news is that our guys have not done well against big post players, and the 250 pound 7 foot Nederhauser is definitely that. He's their second leading scorer.

Me no like Yanic Konan (the Barbarian) Neanderthauser either. Let's take his mastodon club away from him, and beat him with it. Go Illini.

Inferior Penn State teams have just been dog walking the Illini for far too long. Time to slip the leash, bite this lion on the leg, and win one going away. Don't let them hang around late like we did with Northwestern and Washington, given our sad history of creative losses to PSU.
