Comments:
- Go Bears.
- Let's do this in July, it'll be easier.
- 1 - 8 Can be anybody's guess
- I am looking for St. Stephen to be one of the surprises in the league this year.
- The best Region in the state is as good as it's ever been.
- Holdingford is going to suck.
- If you take away King from Randall and Troy W. from Avon, they are looking at the 17th and 18th positions.

 Minnesota Timberwolves 9
 Minnesota Wild 6
 I don't like either. 5
 I like them both. 2
 
Comments:
- NBA basketball (if you can call it that) sucks.

- The T-Wolves of course! With the new additions, who wouldn't want to watch them. They're a whole new team!

- I didn't know we had a winter sports team in Minnesota.

- Used to love the T-Wolves, can't stand them now, NBA is too boring to watch.
