Good grief Charlie Brown, this was a rough week for
Minnesota sports.
Emotions were put through the ringer. There were victories
on the court, gridiron and rink. There were losses, both real and imaginary. There
were tears shed for the fallen and lost.
Over the past seven days, the Minnesota sports landscape has
seen its most successful NBA coach in Timberwolves head coach/GM Flip Saunders succumb
to cancer and its lone Division 1 football coach step away from the game he
loves less than a year after leading Minnesota to its first New Year’s Day bowl
in over 50 years for health reasons.
