My name is Princess Leia and I like the Vikes.
Not because I've lived in MN my whole life. Not because I think
Purple and
Gold go together better than
Green and
Yellow . Not because I think the Metrodome (or Rollerdome as Mike Ditka called it) is a great stadium.
It must be because I'm a glutton for punishment.
I guess it's like I expect them to start off strong every year and play awesome against strong teams. Every year it's "our year." Nothing better than beating the Pack at Lambeau.
Nothing worse than losing to the Bears at home (sorry mom of princess natalie).
Honestly, I don't have a lot of hope for significant post season activity. It's like watching a train wreck ... I can't stop watching (and cheering for our team) and they depress me year after year.
I've learned to cope by expecting the worst (no playoffs) -any victories (especially against the Pack
) are gravy.
I'm still recovering from the year that Denny Green took a knee at the end of regulation to Atlanta in the Division Championship ... and we lost our chance to go to the Superbowl. That year was "our year." And, that's the only Vikings game I've ever been to.
I feel much better now. Thank you.
Where are ya Snowqueen, beaconpaul, sarahH, D2X, et al ... ??
