We can't have nice things

Yes, winter in Minnesota has apparently arrived in full force with the significant snowfall and bitterly cold temperatures......and it's not even Thanksgiving. 

Another depressing Minnesota trend (specifically in the Twin Cities region) is the dreadful sports performances. Beginning this past Friday evening, there would be nine weekend games featuring NCAA Division I (Gophers' men's basketball, men's hockey and football) and professional (Wild, Timberwolves and Vikings) sports.

As the weekend was wrapping up Sunday evening, the local sports guys mustered a paltry 2-7 record. Only the Wild emerged victorious, thanks to eking a pair of one-goal wins. 

For a Minnesota sports fan, April can't come fast enough given that it'll be springtime and NHL playoff season.
