[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 482039, member: 2232"] Yeah 1998 was an interesting year to be a Packer fan living in Minnesota. Remember, until that season, the Packers were the 2-time defending NFC Champions, and we still had Favray in his prime. The Vikings had had some success certainly, especially pulling out lucky *** wins over us in that crappy dome.... 94, 95, 96 I was at all of them and left shocked we blew those games..... Anyway, aside from being at those games, that area was Packer country until 98. Going to a ski slope, a mall, the Mall of America, wherever, you'd see 10 people in Packers shirts or hats, for every 1 in Vikings. Some Vikings games still were getting blacked out locally or Kare-11 or someone else was having to buy a bunch of tickets at the last second to avert the blackout. And then the 98 Draft came, and we had the gift of Randy Moss come to our pick at 18 or 19, and Ron Wolf chickened out and then the Vikings scooped him up thankfully. They immediately became the greatest show on turf and almost went undefeated. Games sold out easily that year... and all of a sudden, now we saw tons of people around wearing Vikings jerseys, #84. Guys like Raptorman here, he's been thru the ups and many downs, never has a season ended on the up note... and yet here he is still a passionate Viking fan. I respect the fans like him. There aren't that many who are true loyal passionate fans like him. Most of the Minnesotans jump off that bandwagon when things go bad. Of all my friends from Minny, the best, most passionate, and smartest 2 both HATED PONDER and told me all last year and all this year that he's terrible, they can't win with the guy, and they need to turn the page away from that draft mistake sooner than later.
