Bold Predictions for 2017

They say hindsight is 20-20. Well for Nostraindamus, foresight is also 20-20. Ironically, his present-sight is the only sight that is not 20-20. That's why he wears glasses.

With each passing year, the legend of Nostraindamus grows grander. In 2013, Nostraindamus correctly predicted that Kyle Francis would set a meet record in the 800 meters in addition to O’Hara’s state record DMR. A year later, he correctly predicted that indoor states would be held on a Sunday and incorrectly predicted Incredibles 2 would be made. In 2016, he nailed literally every prediction. Go ahead and check the post. Nostraindamus predicted that he would not become obsessed with Ish Smith, it would be a leap year and the Olympics would be held in Rio. That’s right, we go bold here in the bold predictions post.

And now comes 2017. Nostraindamus has been staring at his almighty orb, asking the track spirits to lay out their plans for him in its glowing surface. After careful consult, Nostraindamus is ready to once again rock the blog community to its core with his 4^th straight year of new year predictions. We present these predictions below …

1. I will cheat multiple times during this prediction post to turn one prediction into like 5 predictions

2. Michael Slagowski will set the NCAA 1k national record and Domenic Peretta will break 4 minutes in the mile during this upcoming indoor season.

3. The blog will pursue sponsors for the first time.

4. This is the year for Incredibles 2! I can feel it!

5. There will be an etrain writers intersquad 4x4 showdown at the outdoor state meet

6. Caleb’s team will win by a large margin

7. Caleb’s team is just Caleb running a mile

8. Not even a 1600. A full mile and he still gets the W.

9. Just kidding a 1600. These predictions are bold, but not that bold.

10. Josh Levin will win this season’s American Ninja Warrior

11. After the search for sponsors gets off to a poor start, etrain’s productivity and positivity will steadily decline until he yells, “I’m a real journalist! I interviewed Clayton Murphy BEFORE IT WAS COOL!” at a random old woman who asks for directions

12. I’m going to give “Balling on All Cylinders” another shot. 2016 wasn’t the year, but maybe 2017 will be.

13. The AAA distance state titles will all be won by competitors wearing green jerseys.

14. Pitch Perfect 3 will be worse than Pitch Perfect 2. Guaranteed. There’s no Jesse! No Jesse! Why do they even bother??!!

15. Etrain will announce his retirement

16. My American Ninja Warrior Fantasy Team will grab my league title thanks to his victory

17. We will add a new writer to the fold and he (or she) will be balling on all cylinders

18. It will be a guy. Let’s be real. No girls read this blog.

19. We’ve reached the awkward Rita’s Water Ice Date part of the predictions. This year we are going after Ford Palmer and it’s a double date. Alex Fox, etrain, Ford and that’s it. We will share Ford.

20. Etrain will announce his unretirement

21. TheRealTrain blog will add an “American Ninja Warrior” tab

22. It will be right next to his Pitch Perfect tab

23. The blog will crack the 1 million views barrier.

24. Etrain will be responsible for 300,000 of the views by himself as he refreshes the new American Ninja Warrior tab, hoping that someone will eventually discuss it with him

25. TheRoundHouse will be back and better than ever!

26. People will finally figure out what TheRoundHouse is and start watching!

27. We as writers will finally take the time to figure out what a roundhouse actually is.

28. We will come up with cool nicknames for all the other writers so they can have cool alter egos like etrain

29. Someone will alert Jarrett that alter egos like etrain and Nostraindamus are not actually cool

30. And that he is an adult who is about to get married and he needs to grow up

31. TheRealFelix.blogspot.com will debut in January 2018
