Still can't believe it. Part of me believes that if I'd have left the TV on it wouldn't have happened.

Where did you go to school in ND?

I was at this game and it was INSANE. People crying .. hugging.. cheering so loud. I still have no voice. I have never seen energy change that quickly. scale of 0-100
it went from -50 to 100 in 10 seconds. I say -50 vs 0 because it was more than just a playoff loss. We thought of the past..we just lost like all the other years.. blew the lead.. mistakes. We should have won that by 10 plus points.
It was unlike any sport even I have ever been to.
It was a lot better than the game I was at in 2015 vs seatle. #uftawalsh

I had been listening to the game in the 1st halp...kinda got busy with other things when the Vikings were up 17-0. Fast forward a few hours later...I awake from a nap on the couch only to see the vikes losing with 20 seconds left...I said to myself "here we go again!" Then...THAT happens! We will take the luck!

Def exciting times here in the twin cities!

So I hear if the vikes make it to the super bowl they will be the visiting team? Could their opponent make them use the visitors locker room????

No. Vikings will get to use their own locker room. But whoever dons the visitor jersey gets to call the coin toss.

Went to college in Jamestown. Seems like yesterday. Seems like another lifetime. Normally an AFC fan (the Patriots excluded with extreme prejudice), but will be pulling hard for the Vikings. Will fetch the old Carl Eller jersey out of the closet and cheer 'em on. Eagles are a good club though.

I had to chime in with all the Viking and North Dakota talk. That play goes a long way towards healing the bad memories of the Brett Favre interception in the 2009 NFC Championship game and the Drew Pearson push-off. It is hard not to get my hopes up. I can hardly wait for Sunday.
