Hmm, think I need more context to understand your application of the Tragedy of the Commons metaphor. What's the unregulated resource? Sunshine being pumped? (though that is a renewable resource, after all). Or is WFC the resource, and each of our individual rampant, self interested consumption of the great free content here combined with our verbal pollution in the message boards will spell its ultimate demise? Or is it something else? Here I was thinking everything was on the up and up (while probably unknowingly being part of the problem!)!
Yes, we always come back to these predictions at the end of the year to see how we fared--except for last year because the final schedule bore little resemblance to the original schedule. Although there are usually a couple games with unexpected outcomes, we' tend to be pretty accurate with the win totals. In fact, we've been especially accurate during the entire Wilcox era (5.75 predicted wins vs. 5 actual wins in 2017, 7.2 wins vs. 7 actual wins in 2018, 7.2 wins vs. 7 actual wins in 2019).
Do y'Bears (new contraction dropped) compare end of season results against these initial prediction numbers? I forget.
Also I rather don't like the moniker "Voice of Reason" and instead propose the also incorrect but more aptly Cal "Tragedy of the Commons."
Finally, your readers are insane. That is all.
