Minnesota is one of the most cursed sports cities in the country

Minnesota fans listening to this right now, you guys deserve credit for being one of the most cursed sports cities out there. The last time they were in a championship round was 1991 with the twins.

And they haven't had a title in whatever it's Yeah. 30 years and they have all four major teams.

The Twins' 1991 World Series is indeed the last major championship for the city. While subjective as a 'curse', the factual stats regarding title droughts support the claim.

Texas won; Ohio State choked

I'll say Texas win, Ryan Day choke. The play calling, I don't know, maybe they got too conservative. I think they probably did.

This is a retrospective interpretation of the game rather than a purely objective claim; assigning primary blame is subjective.
