According to one Jason King (ESPN)

[pearl31]

In his column today, he has 10 predictions for the NCAA tournament. Among them:

- Syracuse will not make the Final Four.

- Kentucky will not win the national championship.

FWIW

 

[NineOneSeven]

Both are possible. What are his others? A 12 seed will beat a 5 seed?

 

[pearl31]

his "big" prediction is that UNC will win it all

 

[marz09cuse]

Isn't this the same guy that picked UConn to win the BE preseason, along with basically every other ESPN "Analyst"?

 

[Marsh01]

He is playing the "I predicted this would happen" card hoping one of his ridiculous predictions actually sticks on the donkeys ass.

 

[All4SU]

Tell him to fill out his bracket and pay his $20 just like everyone else.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Both are possible. What are his others? A 12 seed will beat a 5 seed?

Seriously. Definitely possible of course. Whoop-dee-freaking-do.

 

[jekelish]

I'm predicting that something unexpected will happen and a team few expected to get past the first weekend will do so.

I'm like freaking Kreskin over here.

 

[orangefog]

I predict that more Syracuse and Kentucky fans talk about Jason King (or even know who he is) today than yesterday.

Who's Jason King?

 

[Marsh01]

Who's Jason King?

Took Pat Forde's place/role at ESPN when he bolted for Yahoo

Who is Pat Forde?

 

[jekelish]

Who is Pat Forde?

A writer who uses his "Forde Yard Dash" column as an excuse to mention hot women as "Dashettes" every week.

 

[EastCoast2]

I could list 10 unexpected teams to make the final 4 and 1 would probably make it

 

[jordoo]

The NCAA cannot let UK win the NC or they will be screwed when they have it vacated later on.

 

[pfister1]

Burger King's NCAA picks have more credibility than his do.

 

[SU2NASA]

his "big" prediction is that UNC will win it all

I've seen them play a lot this year. I wouldn't wager on them making the Final Four.

 

[cusetown1]

Bold prediction. Jason King will be let go from ESPN by next year.

 

[jekelish]

UNC has the pieces to make a run, but I don't think they will. They have a top level point guard, strong post play and a potential star to carry them (Barnes).

It wouldn't shock me at all if they won, but I'm not expecting them to get far.

 

[RF2044]

There isn't one sportswriter out there who will have any bearing / influence on how Syracuse University's post-season plays out. It's up to our players to prove him wrong.

Simple as that.

According to this board, the company picnic at ESPN will be awfully lonely next year since everyone will be gone.

That's what I love about sports. Especially when they are proven wrong.

no, they will have new ones. They always do.

 

[jekelish]

no, they will have new ones. They always do.

Really? So you think ESPN will always have employees even if some get fired?

By the way, if you look up you may catch a glimpse of the point I was making. It's right there next to Orion's belt.

I had not even realized that Pat Forde left ESPN...
