Vikings Schedule 2010 What up with New England Roadtrip? 1

Posted on April 21, 2010 by Marcus "Mookie" Anderson

Payback is a bicha Saints, and no we (vikingstailgate.com 4 Pack) won’t roadtrippin for that one, or WILL WE? The game on the schedule that is most intriguing for that roadtrip is at New England, with Randy Moss and that Pats. I’d really like to go back to Boston for Halloween and see the future.

But there is New Orleans, and pay back is a mofo. I am also a big Penn State fan, so this trip down south might parlay nicely with a Vikings revenege game in the BIG EASY (Down in the Treme) followed up with a Nittany jersey amongst thousands of Alabama Crimson Tide (National Champs) in their den on Saturday September 11th.

2009 Schedule: Roadtrip Options? 0

Posted on April 15, 2009 by Marcus "Mookie" Anderson


The Vikings release their 2009 schedule and it looks promising for roadtrip potential. The first choice would obviously be Carolina on December 20th. We have never taken the goalposts to that state, nor I have ever visited that area. That would be a good place to go. The obvious day trips are November 1st at Lambeau (Halloween in Green Bay anyone?) and Monday Night December 28th at Chicago. But, we could always consider a fly in to Pittsburgh on October 25th or repeat a GREAT tailgating trip to Arizona in early December. So many choices.

The Full Schedule:

  • Week 1 at Indianapolis Colts
    Friday Aug 14th
  • Preseason Week 2 vs Kansas City Chiefs,

    Vikings in the Desert: Flying Out Tomorrow 0

    Posted on December 12, 2008 by Marcus "Mookie" Anderson

    Well the Bears won, so the Division Championship Celebration is on hold, but that will not preclude us from tailgating Sunday at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale on Sunday.

    My flight leaves tomorrow afternoon, and by dinner time, I will be meeting with several Vikings fans from the Viking Victory Voyage at a fine Tempe Bar. We will toast the Vikings several times over the next few days, and top it all of with a road game against the Cardinals.

    Road Trips are always fun, so check back for some pictures of the antics from loyal Vikes fans in the desert very soon.

    If you happen to be going to the game look for the VVV in the Orange Lot on the Great Lawn.

    Minnesota Vikings – 2007-Week 3 Wrap-up: Downward Spiral 1

    Posted on September 27, 2007 by Marcus "Mookie" Anderson

    Bruce Mckimmey Guest Blogger, The Sports Daddy

    Holy crap its Thursday already! I just came out of my drug induced stupor resulting from last Sunday’s humilating loss to the lowly Chiefs. Drowning my sorrows turned into a several day affair. I also wanted to wait a couple of days so my post would not sound like the ravings of a complete lunatic. 

    What can be said about the game on Sunday… The Vikings came out looking pretty decent. The moved the ball pretty well in the first half. Adrian Peterson scored at the 10 minute mark of the first quarter on a nifty little 11 yard run. The Vikings then scored a touchdown around the 10 minute mark of the second quarter…. oh, yeah that wasn’t a catch, they had to settle for the field goal.

    I am still not sure how that was not a touchdown. On a great call, Mewelde Moore rolled to the right and tossed a nice little pass to the end zone. The receiver, Shiancoe, caught the ball, his elbow touched down…. touchdown. When he did hit the ground his arm was under the ball, even though that should be irrelevant at the point. The Officials did not see it this way, not even on a replay challange. The must have had an angle that we did not, cause every time I looked at it, it looked like a touchdown.

    The Vikings then had a very good chance to score another touchdown on the final drive of the first half. On another brilliant call and execution, Robert Ferguson was wide open. However, Kelly Holcomb just overthrew him by inches. Even though the score at halftime was only 10-3, Vikings fans had to feel pretty good about the first half.

    Adjustments! The second half was all about adjustments. Kansas City made them, Minnesota did not. Kansas City tried to run in the first half to no success. In the second half, they went almost exclusively to the air. On defense, K.C. decided to stop the run and pressure the Holcomb with some “exotic” blitzes. The result was a second half that was all Chiefs. A third quarter field goal and a fourth quarter touchdown turned a 10-3 lead into a 13-10 loss.

    Pet Peeve of the week: I will say it again. The Vikings either don’t know how, or can’t cover the Tight End. Once again, the best receiver on the field was the tight end, Tony Gonzalas (remember Atlanta). On Sunday, I counted Tony catching four first downs on 3rd and long. Adjustments. Maybe, lets say, after the first two times getting burned on 3rd and long, you might make an adjustment to cover the tight end (there I go slipping into my ranting).

    This was a game we had to have. Even though it was on the road and on natural grass (Vikings have lost the last five on natural grass {not the kind of grass Vick was on}). Things get much more difficult from here and I fear its going to be a long year.

    With a few breaks (i.e. the officials, 1 or 2 missed opportunities) the Vikings could be 3-0 as well. However, I think we would then be lulled into a false sense of security. This Vikings team has a lot of questions to answer and the first question gets answered this Sunday.

    Vikings (1-2) at home against the Packers (3-0).
