Unwatchable Wolves. Tough week for Minnesota sports. Among too many to count.

Well, that sucked. But this is how we do in men’s pro sports in Minnesota. #mnwild

I’ve been a Minnesota men’s sports fan for half a century. Last night’s combo Wolves & Wild game 6 wins rank in my top 10. Especially beating the Dallas Stars quieted old North Stars demons, recent Mavericks-induced pain and so many Cowboys-related indignities. 1/5

Hockey: UMD beats Michigan, I did not attend UMD, but I dislike Michigan so much and West 7th was electric that night (2011); Gophers beat Maine in OT (2002); North Stars improbable Cup run (1991). 5/5

Basketball: Game 7, “Bring Ya Ass” (2024). That’s it. Being a Wolves fan has been extra difficult. The Gophers had a couple of fun NCAA runs back in the day, but those are somewhat tainted. 4/5

Baseball: Jack Morris, Game 7 (1991); Kirby Puckett, Game 6 (1991); Game 7 (1987). 3/5
17
Football: Minneapolis Miracle (2018); Randy Moss, 3 for 163, 3 TDs, Thanksgiving (1998). The rest is tempered by perennial pain. 2/5

Anze Kopitar has menaced the Minnesota Wild for years. As with Jerome Iginla, he has all my respect, and I’m glad I won’t be seeing him effortlessly score against my squad anymore. #mnwild

Same game three games in a row. Gross viewing. Feels like 2010 Wolves. Luke Ridnour wept. 🤮#twolves

The Wolves are a turnover machine that could power a city grid. #twolves

Terrible start. Terrible team. Terrible town. And that’s me being positive! 😝 #twolves

I love the MN State Boys High School Hockey Tournament. A few years ago, I got a Michigan friend into it, too. Now I always give him a preview. This year, I brought my old blog out of mothballs to share it more widely. #TheTourney whaletime.net/2026-tourney/

MN DMV needs to fix its proof of residence rules. Most of the things on their list are totally paperless at this point. Accept electronic proof!

AE suuuuucked tonight. Stop arguing with refs. Play basketball. Other than Naz, this team was awful to watch in person tonight. They were def the team I love to hate since the beginning. #twolves

As good as Randle is, watching him dribble into double coverage and turning the ball over is all too common. #twolves

Hearing “Ex-Lion Tamer” on @TheCurrent while wearing my Wire t-shirt sure kept me in the holiday spirit!
