"10. Texas Tech will be in the top third of the league in turnover differential. They will be in the bottom third in scoring defense. How will that manifest itself in the win column? I have no idea. That's why we play the games, folks."
He starts out on the right track by predicting some weird stuff. Top third in turnover differential = giving up lots of points? Ok, if you say so. I guess that's why it's fearless.
But then he goes on with the PREDICTION by asking a question and saying that he has no idea of the answer. This is the stuff of which blogging legends are made, folks. Have an asinine prediction and then back off it and claim ignorance. Brilliant.

He is an amateur.
Seth C clearly kicks this guys ass in professional journalism. Just more proof that what you learn in skool can’t make up for being smart.
You mispelled skule.
Ta-da.

Some More Fearless Predictions
1. Colt McCoy will appear to Garrett Gilbert on a KFC Doubledecker in week 4 and give him magic QB powers. Shortly after, Garrett will begin getting anonymous fishing invitations from Ohio.
2. Nebraska scores 80 points on offense. Over course of the entire year. The Big 10 is very excited to experience Nebraska’s high flying offense.
3. Tech somehow beats Colorado and Missouri in the same year. The space-time continuum creaks under the strain of holding reality together.
4. Pistol Pete is arrested for looking really, really creepy while giving out toys to children. Oklahoma State gets a real cowboy on a real horse at their games. This mascot is known as the Capped Rider because he wears a cowboy hat and rides out ahead of the team. This is seen as a great feat of creativity.
5. College Station vanishes on October 31, 2010. Nobody notices for three weeks.
6. Bill Snyder is finally outed as a warlock after beating Texas again in Manhattan and video replay shows him frantically wiggling his nose the entire game.
7. Ubben’s gone at the end of the year.

His predictions remind me of the prophet in Life of Brian who predicts the mundane
“And there will be a great mislaying of ordinary household items that one thought they left here just the day previously but cannot be found today…”
Or remember that old SNL skit with Christopher Walken called “Ed Glosser: Trivial Psychic”?…
Male Employee #1: Ed, I want you to meet Bob. He just joined us over in Accounting.
New Employee: Nice to meet you! [ shakes Ed’s hand ]
Ed Glosser: [ falls into his trance ] Tomorrow.. on the way to work.. you’re gonna buy a cup of coffee..
New Employee: [ anxious ] Yeah?
Ed Glosser: Then you’re gonna hail a cab..
New Employee: Uh huh! Does the cab crash?!
Ed Glosser: No.. you’re gonna leave the coffee in the cab!
New Employee: Okay.. I guess I’ll just have to get another cup when I get here.
Ed Glosser: Look! you don’t get it! You’re wasting coffee!
Anyone else wondering...
What the hell happened to Ubben’s neck? In the pictures on ESPN and in his videos, it looks like his head and torso ganged up on and ate his neck…Just sayin’…
Man, I wish Griffin was still manning that post!
He's a human-midget hybrid
He is either a very tall midget or a very short human. Maybe he is descended from Wizard of Oz extras.
SEC material...the FED...
WTF….let’s put him where he’ll do some good!
The most simple way to put it ....
Is that he just doesn’t care about Tech. Not to say he doesn’t like them or hate them per-say… he just doesn’t care. Since day one he has done nothing but talk about how we are in a transition period and writes everything off from there, no in depth analysis, no real position breakdowns, as faras he is concerned this season is a wash because we changed coaches.
It is my understanding Ubben is a Mizzery grad, which can lead to his indifference towards TTU. But you would have to blind not to see how much he is boosting the North (mainly Nebraska) and Texas… it’s like he is getting a cut of the ticket/media sales for the Neb v Texas match up or something.
One thing is for sure, he hasn’t done one single article of GOOD reporting about Tech that hasn’t been a regurgitation of something another author had written. He is WORTHLESS as a blogger, and will be made a fool of once we start rolling teams up.
At least Griffin had some genuine insight on the teams, and even though nobody could ever dream of matching up with Texas in his eyes, he still did some great reporting on everyone else.
I agree
Griffin always had his own insights, though sometimes written through burnt orange colored glasses, but they were original. The only sensible stuff that comes from Ubben’s blogs are the semi-plagiarized borrowing from other sources. When Ubben tries to express his own opinion though he makes no sense and ends up writing utter garbage. I hope every Mizzery grad is not this way but the two Mizzery grads that have voiced opinions to the media this year that I have come across (that governor and Ubben) don’t reflect very well on the intelligence and analytical skills of students from that school.
His head is too full of movie quotes
He thinks opening each column with a movie quote is a great way to sound clever without having an original thought to share.
