Andy Katz registers his early picks for the Missouri Valley

[PTTB]

My goal is to boost everyone else in the Valley's egos so that they may all feel like champions prior to the season, allowing UNI to keep the target off their back, remain in the underdog role, sneak up on all competition (we are from Frostbite Falls, right? Nothing good ever comes from here. We're all up here just wishing for a gondola from Avanti's), and then try to use our lack of athleticism to sneak up on opponents and try to finish in the top 5 (or tied for it) for 8th straight year.
