The Yi Jing Prediction: Alabama vs Urban Peninsula Lizards

Friday, December 5th, 2008

Will Bammer beat the Gators?
The most important divination yet is for the “Game of the Century” — Bammer vs Floriduh. Bammer returns to where the whole dream season started: Hotlanta. Will we be able to finish what we started there? Or, will the Gators chomp a mighty chunk of flesh from our hide? The Yi gave [...]

The Yi Jing Prediction: The Iron Bowl

Will Bammer beat the Booger Eaters?
This week Bammer returns to the field after a much needed off week. We’re 11-0 (I’m 13-0 in Yi Jing predictions this year, btw and fyi) and now we get to face our most hated opponent: them Booger Eaters on the Plains, who have provided us with a near [...]

The Yi Jing Prediction: Alabama vs Missisippi State

Will Bammer beat Miss Bulldog?
I think the Yi is mad at me. This whole week I have been bombarded by requests from friends (and some that were more strangers than friends) to divine answers to their own vexing concerns. So, I think the Yi is feeling slightly misused. I think I need to implement a [...]

The Yi Jing Prediction: Alabama @ LSU

Will Bammer beat la Tigers?
This one is a shocker. Literally. The Yi answered with hexagram # 51 Zhen, or SHOCK, and the ideogram is [rain and atmospheric phenomena] so it is interpreted as a thunderclap, and this is a thunderclap doubled: the hexagram is Thunder over Thunder. A real shocker. A real surprise. So that [...]

The Yi Jing Prediction: Alabama vs Arkansas State

Friday, October 31st, 2008

Ahh. Homecoming. I tell you all, I didn’t fret over this prediction at all. Not that I’m looking past the Red Wolves and onto la Tigers, though the Yi seems to imply that that is quite alright in this situation.
Will Bammer beat the Red Wolves?
The Yi game me hexagram # 5 Xu, or Waiting. The [...]

The Yi Jing Prediction: Alabama vs Tennessee

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Alright, Bammer fans, this week I rolled the coins one time and one time only. I asked the Yi, “Will Bammer beat the Vols?”
I received hexagram # 10 Lü or “Cautious Treading“. Remember that last week’s hex was # 9, so you can see this week’s answer is just the next hex in sequence. Lü, [...]

The Yi Jing Prediction: Alabama vs Ole Miss

Friday, October 17th, 2008

I shook it up this time while trying to get a direct answer from the Yi Jing. It had been tiptoeing around the issue of who is going to win the game this week, so I thought I’d try a little reverse psychology on it: I asked, “Will Ole Miss beat Bammer?” See? Tricky, huh?
The [...]

The Yi Jing Prediction: Bye Week

Friday, October 10th, 2008

The Commodes (formerly) and the Underdogs (perpetually) are set to face off in Starkville this Saturday, and as Bammer has a much needed week off, let’s see what the Yi Jing has to say about our counterpart over in the SEC East.
Will Vandy beat Missississippippi State?
The hexagram is Kou: Coming to Meet.
The hexagram is 5 [...]

The Yi Jing Prediction: Alabama vs Kentucky

Friday, October 3rd, 2008

This week’s prediction is a little different than my usual predictions in that I translated this one from the Chinese myself. (The internet is an awesome help for this, as my understanding of the Chinese language is mostly limited to ‘fried rice’ and ‘long time no see’.)  By doing so, I hoped to gain a [...]

The Yi Jing Prediction: Alabama @ Georgia

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Man, I tell you what, boys and girls, this has been one tough week for yours truly. I have cast so many damned hexagrams, tossed about three fiddy in change, and divided so many yarrow stalks (actually, I use Q-tips) that I have developed a divinatory version of carpal tunnel syndrome. And like so many [...]

The Yi Jing Prediction: Alabama @ Arkansas

Friday, September 19th, 2008

My brothers and sisters, I have enlisted one of the wisest bammers, who has successfully predicted several things with his Mystic Ways, including the Mike Price Titty Situation, the Closure of the Booth and the 2008 Tulane Scare. And he has let us into his sanctum to view his game predictions, and given me and [...]
