I was in Milwaukee for 1997 and I will be in St. Paul this year, if trend continues we'll hang a six spot on Michigan and beat Notre Dame for the title. does this also mean the Bulls will win the NBA title as well this year?

You could go on all day...and Kentucky lost the 1997 National title game in college basketball....
