Okay, I have to admit, I didn’t know a lot about Cedric Griffin when he was drafted by the Vikings in the 2nd Round of the 2006 draft, and my reasons for becoming a fan have been pure selfish, but here goes. Cedric’s brother is Anthony Noble, a part-time tailgater with our Vikings tribe, who [...]

Before I call home, and wake up the family, I post the news that I did in fact get into the game at Darrell K. Royal Satdium last night. The ticket cost me $185, $100 more than face value, and $35 more than my “drop dead” budget price, but into the game I went. It [...]

It’s madness here in Longhornville. The flight last night was full of UT and OSU t-shirts, but no extra tickets. I am determined to find a way into that game, and it is my quest to try all means possible. Today I even created a Craigslist account and posted the following message in the Austin [...]

It started when Cedric Griffin’s bro showed up to tailgate with us a few weeks back. Anthony N. We didn’t know who he was, but he was a big fan of the Rookie Longhorn and knew everything about him. I told him I saw that tickets for the Ohio State Game at Texas on Sept, [...]

It still sucks to think that this Vikings team could have Randy Moss. There was no reason to trade him back in 2005. I wrote then that it was a mistake, I write now that it was a mistake, and seeing Randy in a Raiders uniform at the Dome last night, just brought out all [...]

Found this on a blog, thought it was cool, so here ya go:One Johnsonville Bratwurst weighs about 85 grams (3-oz. or 0.2-lbs.). We already know that Takeru Kobayashi set a new world record by eating 58 brats, sans buns, last weekend, but how does this compare to what a real person – i.e. a non-competitive [...]

The most common question of the off-season for last year’s diehard tailgaters: “Where do we go next season?” has formally been answered. We are tailgating at Rapid Park! After discussing options with our long-time tailgating neighbors, Kansas Viking, Spiking viking, the Battlewagon Boys, OJ, Saueey, Stier’s gang, the New wave Rollers, Stripper Skipper, and Brandon’s [...]

I actually watched part of the Oakland Raiders 16-10 win over the Phildadelphia Eagles last night. I don’t know why? During one part of the game, they actually showed Madden (Born in Austin, MN by the way?) getting measured up for info that would be used to make his bust in the Hall of Fame. [...]

The recent news that Vikings owner Zygi Wilf will be with Minneapolis Mayor RT Rybak meeting about possible downtown development is intriguing. Here’s to hoping that they come to their senses and realize that site of downtown Minneapolis, or somewhere very near downtown could be the ideal location for a state of the art NFL [...]
