Why they might be annoying:

Their NBA counterpart is named after a wild dog, so naturally they named themselves after a wild cat.
They were one of the most mediocre teams during the WNBA's first decade.
It took them five years to finally make the playoffs.
They offered too much in attempting to draft hometown star Lindsey Whalen, but were unsuccessful.
Their media guide thinly veiled Michele Van Gorp's lesbianism by stating that she 'lives with her spouse in Vermont.'

Why they might not be annoying:

They won their first three season openers.
They came back from 21 points down to win their first playoff game (2003).
They drafted Katie Smith right after she led the Columbus Quest to both championships in the short-lived ABL (WNBA's rival).
They scored a then-record 114 points against the Los Angeles Sparks (2006).
