18. Minnesota Wild
Previous ranking: 19

Tennessee. The Wild have played in the NHL for 18 seasons without making the Stanley Cup Final. I would, ahem, Volunteer that they sync up well with a team that has made the NCAA tournament 22 times without making the Final Four.

Well that kinda hurts.
At least they didn't call the Vol fanbase pretentious like they did Ohio State and the Maple Leafs.

30. Detroit Red Wings
Previous ranking: 30

Tennessee Lady Vols. A remarkable legacy of titles, star players and unparalleled prestige as an organization. Then the gold-standard coach left, the fortunes dramatically changed, and a team that used to be synonymous with championship contention suddenly hasn't captured one since 2009.
