Nowhere did I say the Ownership groups were "purposefully" hiring the wrong management groups. Nonetheless, they have all hired failures to this point.
I believe I did the original math so unless someone checked my work, it's possible (and likely) that I messed up something.
No I think MPLS is right. You would also subtract 1 for the 1994 MLB season so that would make it 120. Wasn't really thinking of that.
Hmm. Forgot about the NHL strike, I thought that was in the 90's. That would make the current # 119?

| 1997 | 3 | No NHL team |
| 1998 | 3 | No NHL team |
| 1999 | 3 | No NHL team |

Can we pick and choose adding gopher sports not winning the big ten and make that number a monster?
Joel Maturi will have you know all Gopher sports are equal and they have won lots of B1G titles!
The 1994 Twins may have been waiting in the weeds to rally and win one for Kent Hrbek though....
I personally would exclude it. It seems unfair to dock a franchise for not achieving something that was ultimately unattainable and nonexistent.
To clarify, I said Collective Ownership/Leadership is the #1 Reason. Not the ONLY reason.
There is nothing that needs to be fixed in the Tweet/X.
Take it up with the Mods when the Vikings are eliminated around Thanksgiving time.
In that case the title drought goes all the way back to 2023.
That's a giant leap in logic. It can be many factors. I have stated my opinion what the #1 is. Go ahead and fill in the blanks on the next however many limitless reasons there are.
Nowhere did I say they have screwed up every hire. Some were good. Some were abysmal. Even good ones though may have had too long of a shelf life.
Again, never said it was "the factor keeping us out". No 12 men in the huddle nor Favre pick against New Orleans and the streak is likely over before getting near triple digits.
I only listed Ownership's management choices for brevity/time constraints. Obviously there are other factors, really infinite...missed FGs, injuries, running into a hot goalie.
You are aware that the Kansas City Royals have a world series win in the last 10 years, correct?
The Twins average per game attendance dwarfs both the Wolves and Wild. Larger capacity sure (and more cost affordable), but it's also rare for the Wolves to have a sellout and Wild usually have plenty of tix available.
Also since the thread is just about getting to the Championship, other similar or even way less in terms of Market/Payroll examples are 2016 Cleveland and 2020 Tampa Bay in the last decade. Both of those teams made it to the WS and pushed it to 7 and 6 games respectively.
