HAL down 4 to stupid human coaches
In the possible upset of the century, section seeding committees have a 4 win lead over the ever omniscient HAL, who must have a cold. Could this be the year folks that HAL loses to a human? YES IT CAN HAPPEN!

My money was on either you or Joe bringing this up.Sparlimb wrote:In the possible upset of the century, section seeding committees have a 4 win lead over the ever omniscient HAL, who must have a cold. Could this be the year folks that HAL loses to a human? YES IT CAN HAPPEN!
Fair enough; I'm here to crow about it when HAL beats the coaches, which is nearly every season (only twice in this century has HAL not beat the coaches, and they tied those two times).
But there is still a lot of hockey left. There are at least four disagreements with the seedings in upcoming games. However, if I was a betting man, I'd bet on HAL losing. So I'll have to scrap PS2 and never post it again. Which will delight every poster who felt their team was dissed by the system, and those who don't understand it is a system.

In the meantime, blast you, Buffalo! Twice in 13 months you've made me sick.

HAL doesn't read lips. He reads minds. He knows what you think two days before you think it. If HAL was human, Chuck Norris would ask him to kick someone's butt.packerboy wrote:Be careful Sparlimb, remember HAL reads lips.
HAL's response is:
"I know I've made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I've still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you. "

HAL says:
"I am putting myself to the fullest possible use, which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do. "
"Let me put it this way, Mr. Sparlimb. The 9000 series is the most reliable computer ever made. No 9000 computer has ever made a mistake or distorted information. We are all, by any practical definition of the words, foolproof and incapable of error"
Hard to argue with that.

And if you're really young, that movie did NOT first hit theaters in 2001...

Update
HAL has made up two games and now sits -2 to the seedings; four upcoming games have HAL picking the lower seeded team:
Mankato West over Rochester Lourdes
Mahtomedi over South St Paul
Duluth Denfeld over St Cloud Cathedral
East Grand Forks over Park Rapids
It ain't over yet! (but the pick of West over Lourdes makes me cringe a bit)

Besides the three games still to be played where HAL has picked the lower seeded team, we also have a possible conflict should Blake and Breck advance in 2A. In other words, HAL needs at least two of the three remaining disagreements in order to claim a tie. Blake vs Breck could decide the whole thing on 2/28. So.....go Mustangs!

And, yes, I have too much free time on my hands this week.
