3). And on that subject, look for Tony Schumacher to win it again. His backer's have $400+ billion to throw around and that plus Alan Johnson should edge out the Kalittas. I know Connie's got tall, personal bucks, but not those equal to the GNP of a third world country.

4.) The price of beer will stay at a mile-high $6.00, but protests might change that. I know that for a fact, because we have a demo planned for the opener at Pomona. IHRA will be exempt because, as I hinted earlier, I'm not sure they still exist.

6.) David Rampy will win at least two Sportsman titles in 2005. Way to hang my neck out, you say sarcastically? Hey, I've got to get at least one of these right to retain any smidgen of dignity here.

9.) Force, whose faced significant challenges in his dozen year reign what with the Hofmanns, Etchells, Pedregons, and the "Wrestlers," is up against his most formidable high flying Worshams.
