Who will break the drought?

A Minnesota team has not been to a finals since the 1991 Twins got to the World Series then won it. In my opinion, the Wild will not get to the Stanley Cup Finals and Timberwolves will not get to the NBA Finals. I seriously doubt the Twins even get to the playoffs. That leaves the Vikings. Can they get to the Superbowl? 

Who will break the drought?

And NO, I'm not including the Lynx.

To be fair, you should not only include the Lynx, but also the Frost.
Women's sports have come a long, long way since Title IX over 50 years ago.
My high school (in Minnesota) was a trailblazer in women's sports.  They won the first ever fall Girls Basketball State tourney in the state in 1974.
The year prior, one of my classmates was the first girl to play on the high school tennis team in Minnesota. SHE played with the guys.
Watching the Lynx and Frost play, they deserve to be in this conversation.

And speaking of the Frost, my granddaughter (still grade school) is a goalie.  YOU GO GIRLS!

Vikings. 

But speaking of drought, forecasts calling for temps in the 90s today in Denver. 104 today in Phoenix. Hey weather gods, it's ****ing MARCH!

Honestly Tom...I try to have interest in WNBA...but it's like watching high school basketball to me.

100% agree!  Fortunately, women sports have come a long way and some are finally getting the attention they deserve.  I enjoyed watching the women's hockey in the Olympics more than the men's.  I am a big wrestling fan (great weekend with NCAA finals) and the previous summer Olympics had women's wrestling, which I found amazing.  There is a US wrestler, Kennedy Blades, who is phenomenal.

I have a niece who just finished a great softball college career.  College softball is fascinating at the velocity of the pitching and then the bat speed to get around on the ball coming in that quickly at a shorter distance than baseball is incredible.

At least the women win. It is going to be either the Wild or the Wolves. The Twins are in purgatory

I seriously doubt that there is a city in the USA that has any NFL, NBA, NHL, & MLB teams that have a drought as long as ours.

High school basketball is at least interesting and has fans.

You think Murray is the QB to finally win us a SB?

Many great ones have tried including a couple of Hall OF Famers. I will say this; The QB that gets us to the Superbowl will be considered a hero.

He and the long snapper, holder, special teamers, trainers, water boys and pretty much anyone having anything to do with the team!
