Maybe the collapse he referred to was next year and beyond. But don't worry, it's not too far of a fall
Not as far of a fall as your brother/cousin UHL from this "bored", eh?

That's a yearly thing. I think he's worked out some kind of deal with Lee. He apperantly has rights to the first half of all seasons and gets the boot from there. I actually thought he was quite tame this time around.

Don't listen to me, W4H. Simply look at the Section rankings. Walker(0 wins), Bagley(enough said), LOW/Indus, Crookston. The bottom of this Section wouldn't compete in the Girls tournament.

I think when you look at strength of sections you should probably look at the top teams, not the bottom feeders. All sections have some bottom feeders. You lose a lot of credibility (if you had any to start with) when you say 8A is the worst section in class A...

I can already tell this thread it gonna get nasty..when do i get to meet SB and Flipper?......we can have a heart to heart...maybe you can vent about Warroad's first round section loss....and flipper can share his location with me haha

But on the serious note...I dont think Walker will pull one out this year....and Warroad will win by 2....

I said without even looking that I thought we were the worst Section in Class A. I guess my credibility is shot all to hell cuz I missed by 1:

Did you see where Park Rapids is ranked #134

Do you still want to base your opinion on those rankings, or are you going to argue that it is not representative of how good PR really is.

2nd to last for 8A? I have a hard time believing that! I think that it is safe to say that any of the top 5 teams in section 8A could compete down at the excel. (Before some of you jump all over this, I am not saying that they would win, but compete)

Heh......Heh, it felt kinda good to say that. Don't know why.

He is referring to strength of schedule. Which has some meaning, but not too much.

Anyway, this has been discussed way to often about PR.

It is close enough to sectionals.
Let the games begin, and we will see.

Yea i agree...it could have been this way about 2 monthes ago....

Correctamundo, one week from today the Cauldron in TRF will be lit to signify the beginning of the games.

Section 8A top brass were in TRF today testing and inspecting
the cauldron to make sure it is in tip top shape.

The Fleet's sails are full of wind as they creep up to the Falls of the Red Lake River for their final regular season raid.

Shallow waters in the Falls this year

Bemidji and TRF could compete at the Excel? I doubt it. I have a hard time believing anybody but Warroad would do anything. I think even if PR or EGF escapes, the inexperience will be too tough to overcome.

I was referring to Strength of Section at the bottom of the page. 8A isn't good. Just look at the list of teams from top to bottom and compare. Throw out any rankings listed and just go based off of what you know. There isn't much of a difference.
