Wow. Harmon thinks there is better than a 50% chance that the Big12 votes to

What's his record on Big 12 predictions? Double or nothing on this one.
Diablo and Doc
5/27/16 9:50am
He's ofer. But he's still got connections at BYU so you can't completely
Bostonblue
5/27/16 9:51am
Was he claiming sources?
concolor couguar
5/27/16 9:52am
He didn't say.
Bostonblue
5/27/16 9:53am
No one will say their sources
Heinz57
5/27/16 9:56am
It is common place to attribute sources for this kind of claim
concolor couguar
5/27/16 10:00am
Harmon has said in the past that he thought it was likely in the future

He is a BYU fan. He knows nothing about expansion.

Every time BYU has been invited to join the B12, he got it right.
zonacougar
5/27/16 10:41am
They either will or they won't, so obviously there's a 50% chance
BYUCoug11
5/27/16 9:50am
umm. someone needs to go retake Stats 201 I think.
Bostonblue
5/27/16 9:52am
It's very simple. Don't overcomplicate it
BYUCoug11
5/27/16 9:53am
No I think he's right. Using his logic we have a 50% chance of winning the NC
Ron Mexico

Love it. I'll take those odds.
Bostonblue
5/27/16 10:07am
So..you're saying I have a 50% chance of winning the lottery?? Either I will
Machiavelli

Yes
Ryan M
5/27/16 10:00pm
And I'm 80% sure that either they will or will not expand.

You mean Harmon from the Deseret News!!!!... come on man of course he does...

Bostonblue
5/27/16 9:51am
everything you read in the DN will reflect positively for BYU and the Church.
Pretorian
5/27/16 9:58am
okay, but being "positive" is different than just making crap up.
Bostonblue
5/27/16 11:37am
Calling it simply being positive is naive but you're right about the Trib
Pretorian
5/27/16 8:03pm
So that'd be at least a 30% chance of joining which is around the 1 in 3 odds

Why is that hard to comprehend?
Heinz57
5/27/16 9:53am
when has the list time dick knew anything about the big 12

5/27/16 9:54am
You serious? Dick H of anyone in the SLC media
Heinz57
5/27/16 9:55am
It's been a long time since Dick has been in touch with quality sources.
Supercoug
5/27/16 9:58am
Disagree, but that is fine
Heinz57
5/27/16 10:28am
I think that was a safe sentiment in years past.
Supercoug
5/27/16 10:45am
Sorry but you're wrong. Dick has more sources in the program than anyone.
THE KlD
5/27/16 12:21pm
I think you mean "more than anyone in the media."
Supercoug
5/27/16 12:23pm
It's not hard to comprehend. What is surprising is that he thinks they

Gotcha...

2017 *could* work, but we have a pretty sweet schedule, I'd prefer 2018
boscatar
5/27/16 10:12am
Consider what our 2017 schedule could be though

My only glimmer of hope is when Holmoe was asked last week

Lol...homoe
Machiavelli

And that is more than he usually says and so it carries more weight, IMO.
bob falfa
5/27/16 12:47pm
So you're telling me there's a chance!
BangkokCoug
5/27/16 9:59am
So a 30% chance we are in that soon, 60% chance eventually?
CosmoK
5/27/16 10:00am
I'd say that's about right.
Josef K
5/27/16 10:00am
Actually wouldn't surprise me considering the B12 just might want
ManicBlue
5/27/16 10:01am
BYU is the Sharlene Wells of the B12!
Creekster
5/27/16 10:30am
And who's Vanessa Williams? Baylor or TCU?
mantis mutu
5/28/16 7:59am
Logical and I could see that as well
Heinz57
5/27/16 10:37am
You're probably on to something there.

60% of the time, they're voting BYU every time.

You can prove anything with statistics. 14% of all people know that.

Didn't Dick lose his insider source when Lance Reynolds left the program?

I skipped math in general but even I know 60 + 50 is 110.
davidmj10
5/27/16 2:14pm
it isn't 50%+60%, it's 50% * 60%.
yahtzee
5/27/16 2:56pm
Wow! We're in for sure then ... that's 3000%!!
ManicBlue
5/27/16 3:15pm
Rumor has it that Holmoe already sent a draft acceptance op-ed to the DesNews.

Doesn't jive with report we were told we're "definitely out"
byujdmba
5/27/16 12:00pm
What report? Link?
BamaCoug
5/27/16 1:03pm
I'm pretty sure the "report" he's referring to is the twitter account here:
Machiavelli
5/27/16 1:09pm
That's the one. The past tweets do make interesting reading.
byujdmba
5/27/16 1:38pm
Well yeah, because if he put a low percentage, nobody would share the article

Dick & his predictions. Ngata interested, thanx.
mantis mutu

Ngata was interested. It came down to BYU and Oregon.

Dick really nailed it with his prediction last time around.
Backcountry

Harmon's thing is deep local contacts and insight. National forecast not so much
keylimesoda
5/27/16 1:50pm
More a "was" than an "is" thing. He writes like he's 20 yrs retired these days.
mantis mutu

He's well connected, regardless of writing quality.
