YaneA Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I like how 61.5% have picked UMD to come out of the region, however I think that number might be inflated by the number of Sioux fans who want to see Yale fail!

That's actually one of the biggest reasons I started paying attention to the KRACH predictions, because it's an interesting comparison for measuring bias. In this case, UND fans REALLY like UMD. KRACH only gives you a 30% chance of emerging from the region. Another interesting one, because it goes the other way on a WCHA team, is KRACH giving BC vs. CC 69%-31% odds, while we picked it 88-12. Sioux fans seem to over-respect UMD, BC, and UND; and under-respect Yale, Union, UNH, Michigan, Denver, and CC. No real shocks there, though it also wouldn't have been shocking if BC had gone the other way. Wishful thinking, I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farce poobah Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 The prediction for 2011 is simple ............. 1997 Packers win the Super Bowl 1997 Fighting Sioux win the WCHA 1997 Fighting Sioux win the Broadmoor Trophy 1997 Fighting Sioux win the Regional 1997 FIGHTING SIOUX WIN NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP! It is looking like a repeat in 2011 BTW ....... the Leafs shut out the Mild 3-0 tonight I'm sure the Red Wings will also become Sioux fans, now that they know this.

YaneA Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I went 0 for 4 yesterday. The one game I picked with my head (BC over CC), I got just as wrong as the ones I picked with my heart. On the bright side, I could go 4 for 6 today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted March 26, 2011 Share Posted March 26, 2011 I went 0 for 4 yesterday. The one game I picked with my head (BC over CC), I got just as wrong as the ones I picked with my heart. On the bright side, I could go 4 for 6 today. I just confirmed today that I allowed myself to get hosed again. I now have to buy a round of golf with Goon. Hey Goon: Live it up. This bracket challenge is the last time I bet on any sort of sports prediction for the rest of my days. Good grief. In gambling, there's no such thing as a sure thing... except that I'll inevitably predict incorrectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronix Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 So far I've only missed one game and that was the ND v. Merrimack so I hope that's a sign of things to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 My East regional was perfect! And if UND wins tomorrow, my Midwest regional will be perfect too! However, I picked BC/UNO with BC winning the West regional... and Miami/Merrimack with Miami winning the Northeast regional... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronFist Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 My bracket is FUBAR, but I'll take consolation in the fact that I'm still beating Goon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 If UND and Duluth win, luapsided is guaranteed a win. Not sure if anyone within striking distance can take the lead if one, but not both, lose. Leaderboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
