The media is never right

[vol_freak]

Obviously they have not had much luck in picking the SEC champion. They picked Auburn last year (2006) and Tennessee the year before (2005). We all know how that turned out.

Anyone remember back any further? I read that Auburn barely received any votes when they won it in 2004.

LSU might as well give it up. Not only did the media give them the kiss of death by picking them to win it this season but Les Miles was talking about National Championship match-ups with the PAC-10.

Does the idiot really think he will make it the NC? Just look at the guy and you can tell his IQ.

I wonder what does Les Miles have against the Pac-10?

I read in some paper that the last correct media pick was Florida in one of the Spurrier years. I'll see if I can find it exacyly...

I agree with this somewhat. But even a blind squirrel (the media) finds a nut once in awhile. Here's to hoping the trend continues!

That would be great owh. I would love to see that.

...the last time the media correctly selected the SEC champ was in 1995, when Florida was tabbed.

People I know who bought downtown condos at pre-construction prices in orer to flip for a quick buck are now selling at a loss. I'm even noticing houses sit for months in Green Hills where a year ago they would not have been on the market for a week. Could all be anecdotal but it definitely seems to be cooling off.

[Sjernigan88]

The market is just adjusting itself back to normal values on these homes, see the problem is while the market was smoking values shot up to unrealistic prices. And people were willing to pay. Now that everything has went back to normal, values are coming back to Earth. So the areas that did not over-inflate to begin with are trucking as usual. Now I will agree that some areas have slowed but for the most part Middle Tennessee is holding strong. And not to boast but I am having my best year ever. I have been in it for about 6 years. And the media over hypes it, and the public eats it up.

The Media is like weather men, they just post up % of what happened last year and go with the majority.
