Predictions for 2004

It's that time again as things are deader than Jerry Garcia around here lately. As we await with baited breath the latest pronouncements from on high--or is it just the guys making the decisions who are high?--let's have some fun as we gaze into the future and see what's in store for 04.
(The more outrageous and bizarre the better--and more likely to be correct.) :D

Here's a few to get you started.

WDP will release the trickest all mechanical marker ever made and call it the "Cherub."

PGI will sponsor an Old Timer's tourney of 15-man in the woods using only CO2 and the participants will never be heard from again although fisherman off the coast in the vicinity of the tourney will swear they saw a giant wicker man burning in a meadow.

The PSP will switch to 7-man (along with divisional X-Ball) in hope of killing off the rest of the competition like they did with 10-man

Some lunatic will come along and suggest WAS (and the rest) actually pre-set the debounce so bounce isn't possible and take the auto out of semi-auto markers.

The NPPL will introduce a new bracket of competition called Punks and Gangstas as they expand their effort to draw in more lame ass no game musicians.

Taking marketing in a new direction NY Xtreme will come out with a team wifebeater and DYE will buy every pair of used denim jeans from Goodwill stores across the country, stitch their logo on 'em and charge Gucci prices. It will prove impossible to keep up with demand.

That doesn't sound so far-fetched considering all the brouhaha about electro-patents.

I don't think mechanical markers have by any mean reached their peak.

If WDP doesn't do it maybe AGD will.

Some lunatic NEEDS to do something to make PB safe and fair. I anticipate (and hope for) new technology to catch those who cheat their ways to a little more reach or a little higher ROF.

When the cheating boards are caught and the players who use them get suspended then the expensive boards will become good paper-weights.

Certainly don't count on morality to be the guiding compass.
 
Neither Series to be a success on TV over here and everyone to finally realize that pball won't televise as a proper sport and just get over it.

Air America to sue Disney, as they trademarked tha name Pluto back in 1584

There to once again be two Ironmen teams in a bizarre repetition of that Bob Long's Vs Dave Youngblood's men situation of a few years back - only without Bob.

Justin Owens to re-enter tha fray with BE Allstars

Top of tha line 20bps capable guns with eyes to retail for under $300

Avalanche to bounce back and win tha NPPL Super 7s

Millennium to go all round tha houses and then just run standard 7-Man in Euroland again.

Dynasty to get sponsored by Haribo to cover the cost of the all the starmix that they eat.

Warren from the Tigers to remove his lead boots and play ball for real.

Bowen to grow a few inches and become taller than Jamie.

Huw Hefner to take an interest in the NPPL and televise it on the playboy channel presented by the playmate of the year.

Kyle to finally grow up and stop chatting cr@p

Note to Steve: Can you say, buzzkill? :D Start a new thread if you must. Nor did I see a Wadidiz prediction in two posts.

Swami says:

Millennium Madrid gets worldwide, primetime television coverage. Billed as Survivor Madrid. Awards ceremony held in the ICU at local hospital.

Sam leaves Shock Am to coach the new novice team EuroBunnies, bankrolled by Hef. Team affectionately nicknames him "Quickdraw." Claims nickname is related to his snapshooting ability. :D

Millennium board meets all demands of the EPA when threatend with Piper streaking at every event. :eek:
