Edie, your post just cracked me up....you are so right! I was born and raised in Minnesota and know all about that rivalry with the Packers. It's been fun reading everyone's posts this morning - I love football both college and pro - so fun to share it with everyone. Congrats to Steelers and Packer fans...two more games to go this afternoon. I am surrounded by Bears fans here - but I remain loyal to my Vikings. I always did play the martyr role very well :-D Ah, well, any true Vikings fan will always say " there's always next year" !!!!
The Vikings are celebrating 50 years this year. I would suspect I have said "there's always next year" at least 50 times. Always the eternal optimist - that's a Minnesotan for ya!!!! Edie
