Are the Timberwolves your favorite team in Minnesota?

I want to move back to Minnesota, I miss it sooooo much! :cry:

The Timberwolves are my favorite team, but normally this is far and away a Vikings town. Twins are a distant second.

Speaking of less popular teams, on Saturday the Golden Gophers trended #1 on Twitter.

I love them and the Vikings pretty equally. But right now, 99% of my focus is on the Wolves!

Timberwolves have been an easy #1 of the MN pro teams over the past 8 years or so. I do really like Gopher basketball as well though.

I have no ties with Minnesota, so the Vikings and Wild are not my favorite teams in other sports.

Timberwolves rank much higher than my Bears or Islanders though, and Minnesota is my favorite place in America.

Yeah lived in MN my whole life so far, Twolves are my favorite team by a LONG shot. Twins are full of scrubs and we are wasting Mauers career here but I guess hes getting paid. Vikings suck too in my honest opinion, mostly everyone here just watches them to try to enjoy a footbal game, Fraizer needs to go. Dont watch hockey at all so cant speak on the Wild but Twolves are def my favorite team out of all teams and sports.

Considering I don't care about Football and Baseball and I can't spend even more time watching another US sports team, which severely limits any possibility of me watching Hockey games, it's hands down the Wolves. But not just by default. There's no other sports team on the entire planet that I care more about.

You're posting in a basketball forum. Any other answer would be surprising.

Since about.... 2004 or so.

Timberwolves are far and away my favorite team. I mean it's like I love the wolves, then I enjoy watching viking games, then I would put gophers basketball right behind the vikings though that will change when the gophers play better, probably tied with gophers basketball is the Minnesota Lynx. Then a ways down, I will check out a gophers football game now and then. After that, I barely ever check out the twins, probably haven't watch a game in 3 years. Never watched a wild game couldn't name a player on the team.

Nearly the same for me. I can't work tired as hell in my job, cause my boss would kill me... so I can only watch a few games...
Back home in germany I'm interested in a lot of other sports, mainly soccer (Bayern Munich).

Wolves are my passion and favorite hands down. Vikings come in second. Lynx are great but don't catch all the games. Twins & Gophers basketball are meh. I try to support all MN teams but the Wolves & Vikings are really my only two teams I'm a diehard for.
