Thus the creator has foreknowledge that Alabama will (and already has, due to the foreknowledge, it merely hasn't come to pass in our timeline) thrash LSU by at a score of 42-18 in November 2016.(May 8, 2016 at 9:45 am)PETE_ROSE Wrote: Yes. Having foreknowledge of things does not shape or change the inevitable outcome. Knowing Alabama is going to trounce LSU in their own house come November, does not mean they should/will not play the game.
Regardless how 'educated a guess' that is, it is still a guess as you do not "know". A couple of bad bounces for Alabama and a couple of good bounces for LSU and we have an upset.
