Right, but we’re talking about sports only. What kind of following do the lynx and men’s ice hockey have on a national level? Even on a regional level? I can’t imagine anyone thinking a lynx or gophers title would carry even remotely the same weight as a vikings Super Bowl or a twins World Series win.
118 seasons is a long time to come up short. Heck, we haven’t even had a team PLAY for a title in that time frame. That’s bad bad bad. Especially when you consider the randomness of postseason play in baseball. Look what the 84 win dbacks are doing. You’d think we’d luck in to one at some point
