Hoping to meet new friends who love Viking football

[wingman]

I hope to be a regular poster this year as I have been a lifelong Vikings fan although on a regular basis they have nearly ripped my heart out with some of their disappointing loses over the years. The Purple People Eaters with Fran Trakenton took me so close to the edge of winning the big game only to fold when it counted most. I can still remember 74, 75 and 77.

I am also a Detroit Red Wings fan and although I do remember their win in 1955 the one in 96-97 was something very special that only a true fan could appreciate and I am sure I will get the same feeling should the Vikes ever win the big game.

Anyway enough of the old let's look to the future. Anyone have any suggestions on the needs. I say it starts at backs. QB, then we need CB's and FS's.

Anyway it has been nice talking, looking for a great year.

PS:- Would love to attend one of the tailgates but I am a little to far away down in Nova Scotia, but still love the Vikes.

I like the Red Wings too, although I haven't been into them as much since we got the Wild.

But, its good to have you aboard, Someday, hopefully we can change the name of this board to "Your World Champion Minnesota Vikings Forum"!!!

Good to have you. We do enjoy conversation around here about all things purple. And we BARELY TOLERATE anything green. So keep that crap to yourself! Something one particular member can't figure out................

Welcome,

If only the Vikes could have one-tenth the success of the Red Wings, we'd all be on Cloud Nine.

I moved this to the Vikings Bar, the place we do some schmoozing and introductions.

Welcome to the board.

The "W" is pronounced like a "V" in Germanic languages, but I guess I should have just used willkommen in that case.

In Scandinavian languages, one often sees velkommen or välkommen.

Of course, Vikings are Norse rather than Scandinavian. The last area of Norse culture is in Iceland, which now have the Icelandic language, which is a Scandinavian language. It is written velkominn in Icelandic.

The Norse used a runes alphabet.

Love that avatar of the Evil Spock. Mirror Mirror was one of my favorites.
