- Despite being one of the best teams in the NHL for much of the season, the Wild have backslid and now are looking up at Chicago in the rankings. We'll make the playoffs, but our fate will be ended at the United Center, if we even make it that far
- Despite having one of the best young teams on paper, the Twins will continue to suffer. How bad is it? Bung Ho Park has a good chance at making the club. I'm not kidding. This team is looking at another 100 loss season.
- Despite a resurgent season the the Big Ten coach-of-the-year, the Gophers went one and done in the NCAA tournament as a 5 seed, losing to a 12. Sure, they were impacted by injuries, but holy cow, Middle Tennessee?
