We lost, but still....


We lost to the Saints, in overtime 28 to 31! I was so bummed that night. But I'm over it now, well almost. Would I have liked to see the Vikings go to the Super Bowl, hell ya. But it was a great season to watch. I mean a really great season! Some of the best games in ten years were played this season. I learned to not hate Favre, in fact even with our loss to the Saints, I still like him. He did a lot for the team and I think that will carry on to next season, with or without him. I still cant bring myself to buy a Number 4 Vikings jersey. Maybe if they go on sale :)
