Get Ready For Some Friendly Rivalry As The Brewers Invade Minnesota This Weekend
The Milwaukee Brewers and their fans are set to invade the North Star State as the border battle with the Twins moves back to Minnesota this weekend. Here’s what they’re likely thinking!
Minnesota and Wisconsin may be neighbors and share a common border, but that’s where some of the similarities end. And while you’ll probably encounter a few more of those Cheeseheads here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes this weekend, as they make the trek over here to watch the Brewers battle the Twins at Target Field. But did you know there are 10 things just about just about every person from Wisconsin secretly thinks about Minnesota?
Let me start off by saying I’m a reformed Wisconsinite. Full disclosure here: Yes, I was born over in America’s Dairyland, I went to college there (shout out to UW-Eau Claire!), and it’s where I lived my entire life until I met the love of my life and moved to the North Star State back in 2012.

However, now that I’ve been a fully naturalized Minnesotan for well over a decade now, I’ve come to realize that I love it here– I really do. There are MANY aspects of life here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes that can’t be beaten anywhere– including my home state of Wisconsin.
That said, though, back when I lived over in western Wisconsin, I would often head over to Minnesota to see friends or spend some time in the Twin Cities. And, whenever I did, these thoughts went through my mind. And, yes, I see now that they ARE quite ridiculous. But here they are:
Now, please keep in mind that I DO NOT feel the same way about all of these anymore. But I will admit that some of the following are definitely thoughts I used to have, back in the day. Keep scrolling to take a look at what your out-of-state co-workers, friends or acquaintances might be thinking about Minnesota this weekend:

The Portland Trail Blazers picked Minnesota Timberwolves assistant Micah Nori as their next head coach on Tuesday, after making the playoffs for the first time in five years under the direction of interim coach Tiago Splitter.
Nori, who spent the past five seasons with the Timberwolves, has interviewed for multiple head coach vacancies, including the Chicago Bulls earlier this month, the New York Knicks last year, and the Los Angeles Lakers in 2024.
Nori, 52, was the lead assistant under Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch while the club made the playoffs each season, won five series, and reached the Western Conference finals in 2023 and 2024. Nori, who began his NBA career in 1998 as a scout with the Toronto Raptors, has also been an assistant for the Raptors, the Sacramento Kings, the Denver Nuggets, and the Detroit Pistons. His son, Dante, is a minor league baseball player in the Philadelphia Phillies organization.
Splitter, who was hired last week as head coach of the Chicago Bulls, was promoted from assistant to interim coach when then-head coach Chauncey Billups was arrested in October in a federal takedown of a sprawling gambling operation. Billups has pleaded not guilty to charges of wire fraud and money laundering.
The Blazers went 42-40 with a five-game loss to NBA finalist San Antonio in the first round of the playoffs, the first postseason appearance and first time they finished with a winning record in five years.
The news comes a day after the Wolves reportedly traded three-time All-Star Julius Randle to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade that sends Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls.
The Minnesota Timberwolves are reportedly trading three-time All-Star Julius Randle to the Brooklyn Nets in a three-team trade that sends Nic Claxton to the Chicago Bulls.
Minnesota is sending the 28th pick to the Nets and will be receiving the No. 33 pick that will be made in the second round on Wednesday night, according to a person who spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the deal has not received the required approvals from the league office.
For Minnesota, the trade opens up a slew of financial possibilities. It creates a $33 million trade exception, plus gives the Timberwolves room they can use to re-sign Ayo Dosunmu and target more players in free agency.
Randle, a three-time All-Star, will be moving to his fifth team after stints with New York, the Los Angeles Lakers, New Orleans and the Timberwolves. He averaged 21.1 points this past season, though shot just 39% from the field and 24% from 3-point range in Minnesota’s 12 playoff contests.
Claxton just finished his seventh NBA season, all with Brooklyn. He averaged 11.7 points this past season.
The 2026 NBA Draft begins Tuesday night.
