PA-Fan 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 Since it is known that Marty has made many ridiculous and insanely inaccurate predictions over the years, but at the same time later attempts to weasel his way out of them and not stick to what he actually said, it seems like there should be a common reference area for said outrageous predictions. I will start with an easy and obvious one: Prediction: David Taylor will not be able to AA until at least his junior year. Actual Outcome: Taylor has an 1 NCAA Title, 1 Hodge, 1 runner up finish, and 1 loss in his first two seasons. Addition Notes: This is also the prediction that lost Marty any integrity he may have had left. He vowed if Taylor won the Big 10s as a freshman, he would withdrawal from the College boards (no such luck :? ) Any other come to mind?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tec87 349 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 Taylor won't major Gresheimer. Result-Taylor wins 25-12. Corey Jantzen would be a multi-time champ. Result-No AA finishes for Jantzen. Arujua would be an ncaa finalist his frosh year. Result-No AA finishes yet for Arujua. This could be a fun thread :D And before we get the usual Marty rant, yes we have all made predictions on here and they have then turned out to be wrong but nobody else on here seems to be so bold and brash with their predictions as Marty has been. It's as if everyone of his bold predictions fail miserably. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tec87 349 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 Another that just came to mind was when he made a prediction about Jantzen beating Mason in their dual or a tournament last year. I mean he made a score prediction and everything right before the match happened. What was the result????? Jantzen gets injured in the match and that was the end of his season and ultimately career I believe since he was a senior. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scribe 1,655 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 Marty was bagging Dake's chances hard his true freshman year. Then he was quiet Dake's sophomore year, right up until the point when he didn't have to wrestle Caldwell and it was time for a rematch with Jersey boy Tank.

tec87 349 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 The thing with this thread is that he makes so many predictions and they are so wrong 98.6% of the time(even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while) that I think those of us that have been around here so long have learned to tune out his predictions unless they are so over the top like his Taylor ones. So it's hard to really list some of his truly bad predictions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PA-Fan 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2012 I remember that one lol. Somehow Taylor getting pinned in the NCAA finals freshman year = Taylor not becoming an AA until his Junior year...therefore Marty's prediction was spot on and he looks like a genius!! :?: Oh to be in his mind for a day....

tec87 349 Report post Posted September 29, 2012 Here is the thread where he makes his bet to get off the college boards. viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3818 Marty-"If Taylor wins the Big 10 at 157 this year....I will STOP posting on the College Board" Threadkilla-"Promise?" Marty-"PROMISE.... If, Molinaro wins 149/ and Taylor 157....I use to think the BIG 10 was "tough" ???...LOL. Just 5-10 years ago-Im sure some guys who were lower AAs wish they had a shot this year." He even tried covering his butt by saying Molinaro had to win as well and he still failed. Marty- "I didnt want to get into this....Molinaro has every right to be the BIG 10 Champ- no doubt . Ive always felt his "game" is limited. GOOD but, limited. Taylor in his second year goes from Opens to Big 10 Champ...hmmm, Im perplexed- I see David Taylor as being a definite influence this year in the BIG 10 yet, if he wins it...then I think it wasnt a PHYSICAL weight class in the BIG 10...Sorry, I see him getting beat- Cant make the prediction. Just seems PRACTICAL to me. BTW- I see this kid/ Taylor emerging as a Top DI wrestler- if staying healthy . I just dont know about the physicality needed/ he has at this weight- 157 is brutal. So, we'll see" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think he was down on both Nickerdoodles and Dake, wasn't he? Oh he was just saying in another thread that he was high on Dake since his sophomore year of HS. lol. Except he still lives under the illusion that Dake lost in his section that year to Devon Brown, and refuses to believe in it. That is when Ian Paddock and Steve Dutton were going to win everything from day 1. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
