Being born and raised in Minnesota, there was, and until is to this very day, just one football staff within the N.F.L that I not solely cheer for, however wish to win. Am I a “Die-Laborious” Minnesota Vikings fan? Completely, unquestionably, sure. I’ve been a real Vikings fan because the day I used to be born, in 1977. I truly bear in mind seeing footage of myself as a child in Minnesota Viking pajamas. Each football tee-shirt I’ve ever owned…Vikings. The one staff I’ve truly shed real tears for…Vikings. There’s, and by no means shall be one other N.F.L staff that can have the chance to contemplate me as a fan. Of coarse, like several real skilled football fan, there are particular gamers who play for an additional staff, aside from the Vikings, that I do watch and observe. (I mentioned, “watch and observe,” not cheer for.) Nevertheless, if they aren’t carrying the purple and gold, (the staff colours of the Minnesota Vikings) I’m not a fan, plain and easy. I attended Minnesota State College. I want to say that I solely selected that faculty for the teachers, and all that the College needed to provide academically in addition to socially. Is it a coincidence that, at the moment, Minnesota State College was the place the Vikings held their fall coaching camp? I am not telling.

Being born within the late 1970’s, I sadly did not have the chance to witness first hand the Viking’s success in 1969 once they went 12-2 (the very best document within the N.F.L.), and held the longest single-season profitable streak with 12 straight victories. That season, the Minnesota Vikings went on to win the N.F.L championship recreation towards the Cleveland Browns, however would lose Tremendous Bowl IV to the Kansas Metropolis Chiefs. The early 1970’s introduced extra success to the Minnesota Viking’s franchise. As a result of wonderful protection that the Vikings had in 1970 and 1971, they once more went to the play-offs, however fell wanting a Tremendous Bowl look each years. The staff struggled within the 1972 season, nevertheless bounced again in 1973 to the success that they’d the 2 earlier years, by making their 2nd Tremendous Bowl look, however finally dropping to the Miami Dolphins 24-7. 1977 would carry the Vikings to their third Tremendous Bowl in 4 years. But once more, dropping to the Oakland Raiders 32-14.

The 1980’s introduced each profitable and dropping seasons for the Minnesota Vikings. The 1989 season was a painful season for us true Viking fans. This can be a season that as younger as I used to be, I can nonetheless bear in mind. It was the season when the Vikings made one of many worst organizational choices, for my part, within the historical past football. The Minnesota Vikings traded draft picks with the Dallas Cowboys for operating again Herschel Walker. On the time, it truly excited Vikings fans to have an explosive, Heisman Trophy profitable, operating again. Walker by no means panned out to carry the success to the Vikings as anticipated by the group in addition to the fans. With the draft picks that the Cowboys acquired in that trade for Walker, they had been capable of draft a operating again by the name of Emmitt Smith. (Ever heard of him?) Even the typical football fan can inform who acquired the higher deal of that trade. Emmitt Smith went on to have a Corridor of Fame profession with the Dallas Cowboys. To not point out that the Cowboys went
