Minnesota Sports Curse

To say that the last year in Minnesota sports has been bad is a vast understatement. It has been nothing short of brutal. What do I mean?

• The Minnesota Gophers football team went 3-9 and fired their head coach part way through the season.
• The Minnesota Gophers basketball team started 11-1 and then lost 13 of their last 19 games. They went from a ranked team to one that missed the tournament.
• The Vikings celebrated their 50th season by going 6-10 but it was the most spectacularly awful 6-10 season in team history. They were plagued by injury from the beginning, had to beg Favre to come up from Mississippi and generally played poorly. They also had two games postponed, something that is almost unheard of in the NFL.
• The Timberwolves had the worst record in the NBA and are completely wretched.
• The Wild had a winning record but missed the playoffs.
• The Twins ended the 2010 season on a 2-9 run and were swept out of the playoffs. Right now they are 34-45 and have one of the worst records in the AL. A big chunk of their roster should be playing in AAA but is up in the bigs because of injuries.
  
• And finally, the most prominent stadium in the state literally collapsed.

That, my friends, is a brutal sports year. I'm trying to figure out if there is a curse or something like that going on. Exactly who was angered last September that caused all of this?
