non viking fans pulling for the vikings

Agree...all of my students are excited for me...all want to see the Vikes take it all!!!

I think this past weekends heroics have been a "conversion experience" for folks.

Let's keep it going!!

Well make sure and let the zebras know that the Vikings W is what is best for revenue and to make sure a clean game is called

Watching my 10-year-old twins go nuts yesterday, and all the kids in the fan reaction videos, I was reminded of when I was 10 and, not living anywhere near Minnesota, chose them as my team because of big plays like we saw Sunday from players like Alan Page and Fran Tarkenton and Chuck Foreman.

10-year-olds everywhere (who don't live in NFL cities) are now choosing the teams they will follow for the rest of their lives. The boat is about to get real crowded. 

They discussed the topic (which team are pulling for) on GMFB this morning and did a poll which the Vikings led with 38%.  One of the reasons they said for people choosing the Vikings is because they're a likeable team as opposed to the arrogance that others convey.

Roger Staubach and Drew Pearson are rooting for the Vikings to win it all.

Don't see many Viking fans down here, but since Sunday, you're right. Friends and family and support have poure it via Facebook, text and calls.

Brian's small hometown of Splendora have blown up my wife's and daughter's Facebook. That has never happened. Brian's hometown residents and former residents and other small towns around us have absolutely sent their hopes, prayers and support his way. It literally brought tears to my eyes reading the comments and seeing everyone hoping he brings a ring home this year.

One of my best friends at work is a huge Bears fan and he told me last week he was pulling for the Vikes.  He told me today (I'm off on Monday's) that he was jumping up and down cheering when the Vikes pulled off the Miracle.  In fact I think everyone that I work with is pulling for the Vikes with the exception of my boss, she's a Pats fan.  Hell, she even said that it wouldn't break her heart if the Vikings win it all.

If it's a Pats-Vikings Super Bowl 95% of the country will be pulling for the Vikings.

I would say everyone I know has become a Viking fan for the playoffs. Except two girls I work with who are Packer fans. Both are from Minnesota but for whatever batshit reason (maybe dropped on their heads as babies?), they became fans of the yellow team, which sorta pisses me off a little. I walked by one this morning and said "shoulda been a Viking fan." Now I said this with a smile, but she genuinely looked a little surly, which of course made me smile even bigger. 

I received a lot of texts and messages from friends of other teams congratulating me on the win. It’s crazy, I think a lot of them know how big of a fan I am and are genuinely happy for me. 

It’s a feel good that I’ve been waiting a long time to have. Hopefully there are two more sets of texts congratulating us on wins this next few weeks.
