How will you celebrate if the Vikings win it all?

I'll change my handle to PurpleIamDone

I'm going to climb a hill/mountain and look over a world where all is right....

Then I'll get up and go to work in the morning because the idiots still do the Super Bowl on Sunday night.   Where is the logic in that?

im much like you KB. this is something that has to get done, just to be able to move on with my life

This is like one of those “what would you do if you won the lottery” threads.

If they make it to the SB I will be watching ALONE in my basement, lights out, me and my Samsung TV...I don't want to hear anybody else talking, making snide remarks, celebrating too much or too little, whining....NOTHING...I just want to be left alone in my dark place praying and having an anxiety attack...
IF THEY LOSE...I may not recover. I don't think I can go through all that again. It really depends on HOW they lose. I will say if they get to the big game and lose but get blown out I'll just be pissed like never before....but I MAY recover....really emphasize the may part...If they lose like 98, 09, or 15 I will NOT recover this time. I really don't think I can take any more of these fantastic and exotic last second losses when it counts most.
IF THEY WIN.............This is my lifelong dream too, and I will cry like a baby for a long damn time. Then when it really sinks in I will scream, jump up and down, run outside and scream some more, drop in the snow bank, kick my legs in the air,  and cuss out every single F'n Packers fan I know. I will be on cloud 9 for a long damned time. I won't know what to say or think during free agency or the draft. I won't know what to complain about anymore and that will be strange, as I don't know how to not complain about the Vikings!!! But I'll learn if it happens.

In ‘09 I told my wife if the Vikings won the Super Bowl I was streaking down the middle of our street carry our Vikings flag.

’09 hurt a lot, it took me a while to get over that. I’m not making any plans for celbrations any more.

I’ll most likely cry at the end of the game, win or lose.

I don't want a wife or kids, so 56 jocks making millions is logically the most important thing in my life right now. If they win, I'm really not gonna know what to do with myself...

I think I'm gonna treat myself to a nice bottle of Johnny Blue (never pay that much for booze), a pack of Camels (quit smoking years ago but fuck it), and try to convince my dickhead friends who don't care about the Vikings whatsoever to go out on the town with me. After that, and this is the most important part: sober February. Not a drop. I usually handle football season pretty heavily drinking-wise, but it always ends for us by January, which is recovery month. Not the case this year, and I'm physically drained. We go hard all day Saturday for college ball, all day Sunday for Vikings/NFL, MNF, and then TNF... I need a break. 

What are you gonna do if the clock hits 0:00 and confetti is falling on the purple?

Whatever you do, forget the Camels. I've never been much of a smoker, but I quit altogether around 2010. Best decision I ever made. Then, my mother in law decided that she was going to come visit the one weekend she was explicitly told NOT to come...draft weekend 2013. I bought her, my wife and kids a weekend in the mountains. In their absence, I watched the Floyd, Rhodes, Patterson draft with a fresh pack of cigs. Thought that would last the weekend. Nearly 5 years later, I'm still smoking. 

I will probably shed a tear. Then start buying shots for the table I am at to cheers the road less traveled!

I'm with Rip, I'll weep either way lol. Then I'll be all like "I'M NOT CRYING, YOU'RE CRYING!"

Then I'll buy my packer fan co-worker another gift (for christmas I found a set of dinosaur skeleton stickers for like a dollar and relabelled them the 'Aaron Rodgers Reconstruction Kit' - he got a kick out of it).

Mostly though I'll smoke a fat cigar (if I remember to pick one up), and party until about 9 am and wonder who won the game when I wake up.

We board a plane Feb 5th (Monday) for Hawaii. We specifically chose that date and time (1 pm) so we could watch the Super Bowl and not have to get up early the next morning.

So if we lose in the playoffs, we'll still watch the Super Bowl, then go to Hawaii.

If we lose the Super Bowl, we go to Hawaii and I won't read or watch shit about it.

If we win, I'll DVR every football show while we're gone, pick up a newspaper in every city that we travel through and party my ass off for two weeks. Come home and relive it..... over and over..... 

I'm going to quit smoking.  I may also quit my job and join a hippy commune.  :)

I have no idea for sure, but I'm still taking it a game at a time. I've day dreamed about them winning it all, of course, but haven't taken that last step on how I'd celebrate it. I'm guessing I'd be emotional, but I think I might actually be numb. It would be surreal for awhile initially.

I have a feeling it might actually be a little anti-climactic.  After all these years, we've put it up there so high that I'm not sure it could live up to it.  But I'd like to find out!

I have 4 weeks vacation.... who knows,  but I am betting their will be tears involved as I think of all the Vikings fans that have passed without getting to experience  what a SB victory feels like.

After the paramedics revive me and I'm able to get off the floor...I think I'll drink a couple more beers and toast the Minnesota Vikings as Super Bowl Champions.   Later, I'll call everyone of my football fans (mostly Dallas, Green Bay and New England fans) and reek havoc over all of them.  SKOL VIKES!!

Well I'll be with about 125 Vikings fans at our Fan Bar. So I imagine alot of high 5s and a ridiculous amt of hugs. I suspect I will physically be worn out as well as emotionally! I can't wait! Lots of tears will be shed that I am certain of! Within a week I'm getting a tattoo memorializing the 1st SB win!

Back in ‘87, ‘98 and ‘09 I day dreamed about how I’d rub it in to all those who gave me grief over the years for not being able to win the big one. Now, I think I’ll just chill and not say anything, knowing that they think I’m going to rub it in. It will keep them on edge for a very long time. 

I think I'll do what I did with the Red Sox (of which I was also a lifelong fan).  When the Sox were down 3-0 to the hated Yankees in the playoff to go to the Series I started watching.  I saw the Sox take 4 straight from the Bronx Bombers, several in extra inning walk off home runs by Manny and Big Papi to win their first series in many a year.  I thought of my Dad who lived his entire life hoping to see the Red Sox win "just ONE!" in his lifetime.  He died ten years before this "first" series win.  I always wished I could have given him that gift...to see it happen.

Then they took the Cardinals (I think) 4 straight in the Series.   The movie Fever Pitch (1997?) was made about this. 

I realized that no Red Sox win could EVER be better than this.  So I stopped watching them. Cold Turkey.   To this day I've never watched a baseball game again (except for going live to the Cape Cod League.)

If my beloved Vikes win, and win in their home stadium, and ESPECIALLY if they beat the Patriots (god I am so sick of hearing about them here in Mass.) then I'm likely done with football too.  I will miss the games, and the stress, but will never have to listen to a Patriots or Packer fan again call them losers, or Viqueens...well you all know the drill.

Like some above, I'm going to watch alone, with many adult beverages.  But, I am so /nervous/afraid/anxious/dreading losing a 5th, my stress level will be off the charts...but if we win, MY lifelong dream will be accomplished.

And I'll buy every f'ing "Vikings Super Bowl Champions!"   thing I can find and wear them out until they are threadbare. 

And be very happy.
