The 2006 Prediction List

my apologies if this sounds too optimistic...

Sports
Super Bowl XL - Colts over Seahawks
(The Bengals will make it to the AFC finals, but be defeated by the Colts)
World Series - Cardinals over Yankees
NCAA Basketball - Michigan State
The University of Cincinnati will extend interim basketball coach Andy Kennedy's contract another year.
The OHSAA Football Division I title will be won, for the fifth time in a row, by a Cincinnati area team, either a repeat by St. Xavier, or it will be reclaimed by 2004 winner Colerain. Kerry Cooooommbs!!

Coasters and Parks
Kings Island will finally announced they are adding its long wished for (by fans like me) B&M megacoaster for 2007.
Cedar Point will announce their third Beemer to go in the site of White Water Landing in '07.
Six Flags will either sell or close down at least one of its smaller parks.

Politics
Republicans will keep control of the House and Senate in November, and will see their candidates elected governor in Ohio and Pennsylvania, despite trends moving towards Democrats.
A Bush cabinet member might resign - and quite possibly DNC chairman for Howard Dean after he has his last scream.

Technology
Apple will once again revamp its iPod lineup. A widescreen iPod? I think so. They might also finally bring the G5 processor to its top notebooks, and gain market share - even as Microsoft will release Windows Vista - which seems very similar to Mac OS X Tiger.
The flying car will still be an abstract concept - as well as common courtesy on our roads and highways.
