my advice; Don’t try to shoot a bald eagle with small shot at close range.

I was at the game with friend Tom Gross. Exciting game all the way through. Joe Kapp wasn’t pretty but he was a leader and delivered when it mattered.
Led to our first Super Bowl and loss. Well, it’s the Minnesota luck!
Live in California, but still a homer for all Minnesota Sports.

To all the people who keep talking about the “poor people who suffered because of him” etc.. etc…. please listen and pay attention and do your research before you decide to voice yourself. He did not cause anyone to suffer. He did not get enjoyment out of watching people suffer. The man was just incredibly insane. He shot his victims in the head killing them instantly(according to the autopsy reports) and performed all his sick and twisted ritual crap post-mortem. meaning after they were dead. I am not defending this nutcase nor do i care if you pick apart my comment with english and grammer corrections as I am not writing my congressman, i’m simply throwin out some facts to help some people understand.

I just remember that the Vikings won, beat Cleveland 27-7 and then lost to the Chiefs. A simpler time, it helped that I was in 1st grade. I could always tell if the Vikings were losing/winning, father upstairs kicking back that recliner/swearing if the Vikings were doing something stupid. It’s a good thing he stopped being a hard core fan at the start of the 1980’s or else he wouldn’t have made it to 2007.

I won’t say this was the game that made me an avid Viking fan, but this was the season. I had just returned from Vietnam, and realized the Vikings were no longer an expansion team. An opening 24-23 loss to Tarkenton and the Giants, followed by 12 straight wins, and ending in a muddy 10-7 loss to the Falcons. The next year, I couldn’t wait until the Vikings got a hold of Stram and the Chiefs in the season opener.

I started to follow the Vikes from overseas, as an expat kid, in the oil fields of Venezuela. I heard this game on shortwave radio and was glued to it! The half time score meant nothing knowing and trusting that the 12-2 Vikings would come back… and they did! I sat in front of that Zenith radio with the in and out white noise and the sound of the Met Stadium fans resonating. I have NEVER forgottent that game or that season! Go Vikings!!

I was 10 living in Ham Lake at the time. I remember listening to the game with my older brother on the radio in our basement bedroom and being very upset with how poorly the Vikes had played the first half. I was so frustrated I stopped listening to the game and went out to play. Later my brother called back in and told me they were ahead. At first i didn’t believe him but I made it back in time to hear the end of the game. While that game was important, I think the game that really solidified me as a Vikings fan occurred earlier that season when the they beat the defending Super Bowl champ Baltimore Colts 52-3 in the 2nd or 3rd game of the year.

I listened to the radio broadcast in my bedroom (Willmar was within the blackout zone) and watched the taped delay of the game after the news on Sunday night on Channel 4. I can’t remember the play-by-play guy, but Paul Christman was the color commentator. The Vikings band played “impossible Dream” as the game ended.

God, that was a better time.
