This is the week we've been waiting for since August. Well, yes, Thanksgiving is part of it, but the Prep Bowl is the biggest part of it.

We'll play four games on Friday and two on Saturday, deciding six state champions at the Metrodome. Here's the schedule.

Friday

10 a.m. ... Nine-Man: Stephen-Argyle (12-1) vs. Nicollet (10-2)

1 p.m. ... 1A: Adrian (10-2) vs. Minneota (13-0)

4 p.m. ... 2A: Moose Lake-Willow River (13-0) vs. Watervile-Elysian-Morristown (12-1)

7 p.m. ... 5A: Cretin-Derham Hall (11-1) vs. Eden Prairie (12-0)

Saturday

Noon ... 3A: Glencoe-Silver Lake (13-0) vs. New London-Spicer (13-0)

3 p.m. ... 4A: Sartell (13-0) vs. Totino-Grace (12-0)

I'm in the process of figuring out my predictions, a process that involves a Magic 8-Ball, some chicken innards, tea leaves and, as always, blindfolded dart throwing.

But let's begin this thing by hearing from you. Who will win and why?
