Overwhelmingly Xing about MN sports with flashes of music, geography, real estate, tech, food and drinks. Still using Swarm!

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

[Greg Sax @gsax]

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

@PaulCharchian Not that long ago, but it’s a top 10 feel gooder for a beleaguered sports state. Minneapolis Miracle, Bring Ya Ass, UMD over Michigan, Gophers over Maine, Rookie Moss on Thanksgiving.

[Greg Sax @gsax]

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

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

[Greg Sax @gsax]

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

[Greg Sax @gsax]

Baseball: Jack Morris, Game 7 (1991); Kirby Puckett, Game 6 (1991); Game 7 (1987). 3/5

[Greg Sax @gsax]

Football: Minneapolis Miracle (2018); Randy Moss, 3 for 163, 3 TDs, Thanksgiving (1998). The rest is tempered by perennial pain. 2/5

[Greg Sax @gsax]

25 turnovers. Clean it up, Timberwolves. #twolves

[Greg Sax @gsax]

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

[Greg Sax @gsax]

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

[Greg Sax @gsax]

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

[Greg Sax @gsax]

@WillRagatz Hard to watch my hometown team over the last week. Ugly ball.

[Greg Sax @gsax]

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 https://t.co/neyhGUWyMD

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!

Jack Hughes for the gold.

[Greg Sax @gsax]

This is the happiest I have been for a sports moment in decades. USA men’s hockey gold! 🥇🏒🥅 #Olympics2026

[Greg Sax @gsax]

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
