♪♪ >> Eric: IT'S TIME FOR ONE LAST MINNESOTA HISTORY QUESTION THIS YEAR.

FOR THIS WEEK'S EFFORT WE HEAD TO THE WORLD OF PROFESSIONAL SPORTS.

THE YEAR, 1998.

A SEASON THAT ENDED WITH HEARTBREAK FOR MINNESOTA VIKINGS FANS.

MAYBE THIS YEAR WILL BE DIFFERENT?

WHO KNOWS.

OUR QUESTION HAS TO DO WITH A HAPPIER OUTCOME.

AS A MINNESOTA SPORTS TEAM NEARS THE END OF ITS REGULAR SEASON THEY WIN A HIGH SCORING CONTEST, BUT THE SCORE IS NOT THE KEY PART OF THE COMPETITION THAT DAY.

NOT ONE, BUT TWO LEAGUE RECORDS WERE SET BETWEEN BOTH TEAMS ON THE FIELD.

SO THE QUESTION FOR YOU IS: WHAT TWO PROFESSIONAL SPORTS RECORDS WERE SET IN 1998 IN A GAME BY A MINNESOTA TEAM AND ITS OPPONENT?

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU WHETHER YOU'RE CALLING IN FROM ST. NICHOLAS, SANTA CLAUS LAKE OR MISTLETOE CREEK.

651-229-1430 THE NUMBER TO CALL WITH ALL OF YOUR HOLIDAY GUESSES FOR THE SEASON.

IF YOU'D RATHER VISIT US ON THE WEB, DROP US A NOTE AT ALMANAC@TPT.ORG.

WHILE YOU'RE ONLINE WE'D ALSO LIKE TO GET YOUR FEEDBACK IF YOU USE THE CLOSED CAPTIONING FEATURE AND WHY YOU USE IT AND WHY IT'S IMPORTANT.

ALMANAC@TPT.ORG.

NO "ALMANAC" NEXT FRIDAY NIGHT.

TWO WEEKS FROM TONIGHT A SPECIAL EDITION OF THE SHOW WITH MARY LAHAMMER, PREVIEWING THE UPCOMING LEGISLATIVE SESSION, A LOOK AT WHO CAME OUT ON TOP ON HER "RACES TO WATCH" SEAR.

JUST ENOUGH TIME FOR SHOW-ENDING HOLIDAY MUSIC.

A TREAT FOR YOU TONIGHT.

THIS WEEK BACK IN 2005 BUTCH THOMPSON VISITED THE STUDIO AND PLAYED THE PIANO N ONLY THE WAY HE CAN ON THE OLD PETROF.

TAKE A LISTEN.

WE'LL SEE YOU IN THE NEW YEAR.

BE CAREFUL.
