Wildstang had the same team twice in a row in Midwest.

As my programming teacher would say, "don't ever depend on a computer to give you a random number because it cannot pick a random number, it's just making it look random." That is unless you just take that # out so it will never be used again or that any team # can only be picked x times and they get pulled out. To pick random #'s a computer usually runs through a "list" of #'s with set bounds to how many #'s to run or what #'s to run. If you catch it too fast or there is a glitch in the program it can be the same #. I truely think that they should have done it with lottery balls or a hat because that is way more random.
