Anyone besides me who was at that NFCCG in 1/99?

I was there. Flew in from Kansas City with a friend on Saturday.

I said this when Moss caught the TD to put Minnesota up in the first half: 'We're going to the Superbowl'. It felt like it, it felt destined. I never felt that confident as a Viking's fan ever before.

I was 10 rows from the field, first deck....Right behind "those" goal posts.

January 17, 1999, the next day I told my friend that the Vikings will never get back to the Superbowl.

I was there. 40 yard line, nose bleeds. Hungover from meeting a bunch of VUers at Huberts night before. Missed the tailgate, barely made the game.

Not sure which would have been worse to attend. That 98 Championship game, or the 2000 one vs the Giants (which I did attend).

Of all the Viking disappointments that was probably 100x more painful than any other loss. We should have beaten them by 20 and we just found ways to keep giving the game away. The fumble right before half time, not staying in bound, missing the short FG, dropping interceptions on the last drive, kneeling on the ball. It took me months before I could look at a sports page again. One of the best teams in NFL history and we just flat out choked.

Same for me. To this day, I've never watched that game again. Of all the things that KILLED me, was the dropped gimme INT by Griffith in the end zone. GAME OVER if that happens. It was the most brutal loss in history.
