Well by now most people have their fantasy football drafts all completed, new tailgate gear is purchased, and all that’s left to do is get to the tailgate party and start our Viking Roll for 2005. This is the best time of year.

Sunday, the tailgate plan will be to meet in the REGULAR LOT near Washington Avenue, the same lot from last year, and get 2005 started. I recently completed successful surgery, and I plan on being at the lot for Sunday Morning tailgating kick- off. I am on a weight lifting restriction of 10 lbs (sorry no keg toss this season) so I will need help setting up and taking down the goalposts. As for the game itself, I most likely will be selling off my ticket and leaving early as it would be prudent for me to catch the game on my Lakeville TV. As I regain energy I will be able to partake in the long walks and pat downs at the Metrodome. Hope to see you all at the Dome.
