    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    I would rather the thread die because some local team advances to the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals or Stanley Cup Final but until then, it is what it is. I hope I am alive to see it.

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    The whole discussion is beyond odd in this pillow fight of determining "superiority between the Lions &; Vikings" especially in the past 10 seasons. Why would only 2025 count in a 10 season time frame of comparisons instead of last Play-off Win, last advancement to the NFC Divisional Round &...

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    2023 wasn't nearly as painful as 1989, and it had only been 10 seasons since the Gophers had won a title at that point. I guess the Snuggerud & Pitlick families can compare notes.

    Twins/Vikings/Wild/Wolves Championship appearance drought tracker

    By your own metric of advancing in the NFL Playoffs in the past 10 seasons to the Final 8, the Lions and Vikings are tied. 2 apiece. The Lions smoked the Vikings in the 2024 Season Finale to earn the NFC North Title and #1 Seed, something the Vikings have not done in the past 10 years or ever...

    Minnesota Native, Red Hot Chili Peppers Drummer Chad Smith to Play at Homecoming; Smith will join Minnesota Marching Band at halftime performance

    Smith filled in behind the kit for McCartney's regular drummer Abe Laboriel Jr. He got to play on a new song Days We Left Behind as well as Band on the Run and Coming Up. It was a real treat for me as BotR is my favorite song he ever wrote and has been ever since I heard it as a 4 year old.

    Should haves and could haves count for Jack Squat. It's either "Do" or "Do Not".

    At 1:19am, 3.13.25. - The Ben Johnson Era has ended and Ben is fired

    The Gophers under Ben Johnson also prevailed against St Olaf. Perhaps he would do well in the MIAC.

    Investor is bringing back 1980s Pizza Huts

    Always a really solid Lunch Buffet. Godfather's was also a classic.

    Minneapolis Lakers were 4 of 11 in the NBA to help the cause. I think it was a 10-12 franchise league back then.

    Nights like tonight are cause to lament the missed opportunity for the Wolves to end this in 2024 against the Mavs. Had home court advantage. Lost one possession heartbreakers in Games 1 & 2 and could not recover.

    All Things 2026 Minnesota Twins In-Season Thread

    I was only listening in the car, but the announcers on the Treasure Island Broadcast Network were livid and perplexed by the call. They clarified a half inning later that it's not Instant Replay Reviewable.

    The Wolves elimination is going to be far less dramatic than their immediate streak extending predecessor.

    That quote has me less sympathetic, because indeed 1 second is not hard to define. Also go out and shoot 74, Cut made.
