Re: What are the chances Michigan beats OSU?

Ok like I said, IN A SIMPLE WAY IT IS. If you want to argue BS about stats and all that crap that is the only thing that would make a 2 outcome situation not 50-50. Since you bring up a weighted coin, and assuming you mean lopsided in weight, that would fall into something called cheating, and therfore would not be normally accounted for in the situation. In the simplest sense it is correct, but as sports fans everyone will argue over crap like their stats vs ours, their players vs ours, homefield advantage, weather, etc. I can't presume anything in the simplest sense besides that there are 2 possible outcomes really for the game. I am not going to waste time arguing whether you would like to think they are a better team this year, meaning we are not equal, so therefore there is not an qual probability. I still say in the SIMPLEST sense and I guess in a sort of smarta** way, if there are only two possible outcomes, then you have a 50% chance of one happening. That is all.

A true display of that fine Michigan education. Even the other weasels are telling him what an idiot he's being.

Actually, what that poster says is very close to what Tressel said in his conference call this week. With OSU-Mich, throw out the records.

If that's the case, than winning the lottery is a 50/50 chance as well. F*** Michigan

Uhhh... there are just a FEW more possible outcomes in a lottery; whereas, there's two in college football.

Apparently, multiple recruits are deflecting because of new reports that Ann Arbor is even more of a whore than we thought she was... Recruits are afraid of contracting Syphilis, chlamydia, gonorrhea, and herpes. Previously, they had only been afraid of contracting chlamydia, gonorrhea and herpes. The addition of Syphilis has recruits worried. It's unlikely that Rodriguez will be able to fill the classes of 2009 or 2010.
