Homework question: Rank them up
Posted on January 11th, 2007 – 12:48 PMBy Michael Rand
We’ve spent an inordinate amount of time trying to discern a sports hierarchy among Twin Cities teams (college or pro) when it comes to fan interest. The top of the list, we think, is pretty easy: 1) Vikings. 2) Twins. From there, frankly, the list falls apart. It can go in any direction. Sometimes we think Timberwolves. Sometimes Wild. Sometimes Gophers football. Once upon a time, even Gophers men’s hoops. For a stretch in 2004, Gophers women’s basketball. Yeah, we think about a lot of things of far too little significance far too often (like the proper etiquette at a trough-style urinal, for instance). But this one is probably at the top. Your thoughts?

What, no Ripknees?
At some point, the Twins are going to take over at #1 in all of these lists if the rest of the teams continue their trends.
1) Vikes even with chilly at the helm.
2) Twins
3) Gopher hockey
4) Gopher football
5) Wild
6) T-Wolves danceteam
7) Polesliding at the gentlemen’s club of your choice
FLOW (Fabulous Ladies of Wrestling)
9) Beer and Wings
What was this list for again?
10) Oh yeah…the rest of Gopher sports
11) T-Wolves
1. Vikes
2. Twins
3. Wolves (Basketball is still relevant professionally)
4 Wild (Great athletes in their sport… no longer relevant professionally)
5. Gopher Hockey? Okay, Fine.
6. Gopher Womens Golf.
7. Gopher Football and Mens Basketball
Are you people putting your personal rankings or the rankings of the metro area on the whole?
1. Vikings
2. Twins
3A. Wild (they have a more limited fan base, but a more active one)
3B. Wolves (broader fan base, but less willing to go to games)
4. Gopher Football (but would quickly jump up to outright #3 if they became competitive)
5. Gopher Basketball (also with much potential for improvemen)
6. Gopher Hockey (it’s a shame they’re so low)
7. Saints
