Good question. Well, my dad is a vikings fan and did his best to try and have me go that route. Not sure why it never took, but I am glad I don't have to through that pain every year. I remember first seeing them as a little kid with Mark Rypien and thinking, "these guys have cool uniforms and colors" (another subject that has been discussed around here) so I started to follow them and I guess that is how it all started. I have only seen them twice in person, both times against the Vikes (first time in 98'....wasn't good, and in 2007 a little bit better) and they are hardly ever on tv around here unless they are SNF or MNF....or playing the Cowboys. But for some reason I stuck with em and here we are today.
