This blog is to document my experiences as I become a Minnesota Vikings fanatic. I have lived in Minnesota all my life, and would consider myself to be a "Vikings fan," however, I've never been more than a fair weathered fan. This season I am committing to much more than that. I am committing to watch every game and cheer with boyish naivety even though it appears all hope has been lost. I am committed to talking up one to possibly two or three quarterbacks as being right on the cusp of fully grasping how to be a success in the NFL, all the while knowing that based on my definition of "right on the cusp," I would also fall into that category.
I am 23 and am a big sports fan. I have never dedicated myself to a team though. I pick and choose teams that I like currently, based on if they have an interesting story or fun players to watch. My allegiances hop and skip around and it is great because I can take pride in the success of my recent favorite team and never have to feel the pain of the teams I once supported but dropped when things went awry. I want to test the waters of this hard core fan business though. I am ready. I want to feel the pain of the Viking's failures and inexplicably burst into tears at their successes.
This blog will keep track of my journey.
