    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    My way of counting it is: in the 2018 season you'd say it has been 1 season since 2019 you'd say 2 seasons since ... 2024 you'd say 7 seasons since 2025 you'd say 8 seasons since I'm saying we're in the 25 season now

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    Bold: that does make sense for anyone who really says they are fans of all four. I'm sure there are some. I definitely am not. If the North Stars had never been replaced and Xcel had never been built ... zero skin off my teeth. Who cares? And like I said before, I know some Wild fans who...

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    1 ago is 2024 season, 2 ago is 23, 3 ago is 22, ....., 8 ago is 2017 season, the Minneapolis Miracle year promptly followed up by a drubbing in Philly :(

    I saw they're already filming season 2 (of The Pitt)

    ROMAN VOSS TO MINNESOTA!

    Signs what in December? And is that thing signed any form of a binding legal contract? I don't think he will change his mind. This was a phenomenal signing and I am thrilled he chose to stay home!! I'm merely curious and thought others reading this thread (even if they don't say so) might be...

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    I'm saying you can lessen it if you look at it reasonably (*my opinion, nothing more*): Twins: 33 seasons since last championship appearance and last conf championship appearance **independent** Vikings: 48 seasons since last champ appearance, 8 seasons since last conf champ appearance...

    Apologies, post edited to add the spoiler. I have not gotten back to watching it. But I will try

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    The North Stars are never replaced. Xcel is never built. OR The Twins actually are contracted or leave, and are never replaced. Target Field is never built. Everything else stays the same. You're telling me that it doesn't matter that suddenly none of this is notable?

    ROMAN VOSS TO MINNESOTA!

    With all the new NIL, rev share, etc. Is there anything that Voss actually signs, and sooner than later? A real, legal contract binding him to at the very least enroll at the U next spring, summer, or fall (not sure which?) through the end of the 26 season? I don't expect him to change his...

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    Said another way, and possibly the fairest way as there probably isn't that much crossover between fanbases .... if you consider the sports each on their own, I would guess the Minnesota franchise does not have the longest championship appearance drought, in all four. Even the fuggin Vikings...

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    ^^ but then again there's just not that many single markets that have all four. (Eg. you can argue that Tampa and Orlando should be combined, but they aren't.) And we're probably one of the smallest. That matters for MLB, at least, because the Twins are small spenders in that un-capped league...

    Wisconsin Football faces recruiting violations

    I guess it would be 2001-2004 ... which is wild that it was exactly 20 years prior

    Wisconsin Football faces recruiting violations

    I only mentioned the yellow highlights, which meant they were 1st or tied for 1st in the conference. Some guy then highlighted the issues with that when only playing 8 conf games when the conference is 11 or bigger. The most important part of it is how Wisconsin has done since the 2021 season...

    Amateur College Football Officially Dead: Judge OK's $2.8B settlement, paving way for colleges to pay athletes

    College sports is supposed to not be a minor professional league. As soon as it becomes that, it loses almost all value to fans. No one cares about the UFL. But they care about college football.

    Wisconsin Football faces recruiting violations

    They had some nice years before the Leaders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wisconsin_Badgers_football_seasons 93, 98, 99, 06, and 10. But yeah, certainly since 2012 onward these days you nailed it May 2016-2019 be their swan song, with the game completely having changed on them since then

    Amateur College Football Officially Dead: Judge OK's $2.8B settlement, paving way for colleges to pay athletes

    I say make the cheaters go back under the table. They get a good amount of ego stroking by having been allowed to be over the table. They get to waltz around with everyone knowing what they did, how much, and that they were the one who did it. Like a prized booster with a seat of honor at the...

    Amateur College Football Officially Dead: Judge OK's $2.8B settlement, paving way for colleges to pay athletes

    Bold: not with new law and/or collective bargaining. Personally I don't think it should be illegal. Do you? I don't see it being that different than lenders can deny giving a mortgage to a buyer of your for sale house simply because you agreed upon a price, if they say via legitimate appraisal...

    Amateur College Football Officially Dead: Judge OK's $2.8B settlement, paving way for colleges to pay athletes

    If new law passes granting the NCAA protections from antitrust -- feel free to shoot that down as never going to happen, I have no idea if it has a shot or not -- then I personally like the idea of the clearinghouse being able to reject NIL deals where the player doesn't have to do anything or...
