Introductions - if you're new, say hello here
There was a recent suggestion that we needed a place for new members to post an introduction and say hello. A good suggestion, and this is now the place.

What a privilege, nay, HONOR to be the first person to post an introduction in the official "Intoduction" thread!!!
Just amazing!!
Anyhoo, my name is Christian, i'm 23, live in Burnsville, work in Bloomington. I've only been in the Cities for 1 year. I moved up here after living in Austin, MN for a vast majority of my life. I worked at KAAL TV for about 5 years before getting canned. I got to see the vikings play the niners several years ago from the sidelines with my press pass! Totally awesome!! You dont know loud until you're down on the field during a game!! Holy Crap!!!! I got to see my (at the time) hero, John Randle make his first (and only) interception. I wasn't a REAL big vikings fan until this year. Somthing clicked in me and now i'm as diehard as they come. My father is a hardcore fan. I learned most of my vocabulary during those late-80's early-mid 90's sundays!!!
Anyhoo, I'm glad to be here, you all seem like a bunch of knowlegeable rubes (ok, i listen to the fan... can you blame me?) and i hope to learn as well as teach!!
GO PURPLE!!

You lucky Dog you. Johnny is one of my favorite Vikings and it would have been fantastic to see that from the sidelines.Swaps wrote:I got to see my (at the time) hero, John Randle make his first (and only) interception.

Isn't that the truth. This has been one of the best off-seasons for the Vikings that I can remember. There has been signings or new owners or something going on constantly. I'm hoping the regular season is also one of the best we've had for a while.Swaps wrote:Well, if i like the next season as much as i've liked the offseason...
I'm sure we'll ALL be happy.

Hi to all. While I'm not a Vikings fan (true to my Cowboys), I am on the edge of Vikings country and a die hard Twins fan, so hopefully that'll lead to some discussion.
I'll pop in here from time to time, but if any of you want to come over to cowboyscentral.com and talk shop we'd be happy to have you there as well.

to the board my man. I may indeed drop over as I try and keep tabs on our own Terrence Newman as much as possible. The Boys should have an improved D this year too.mymaveric wrote:Hi to all.

As long as you apologize for Hershel Walker...
Welcome.

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018
Re: hello
Welcome to the board! It's great to hear from Vikings fans outside the U.S. and you're brave to visit Minnesota in December... the beer will help. I hope you'll join all the discussions here that interest you, and, if nothing else, I'd love to hear a report on your visit later this year.Macvike wrote:Hi,just saying hello to everybody, hope your all doin well,glad to be aboard the board,I'm Steve from west coast of Scotland,UK coming over in Dec to visit Minnesota and go to the 2 home games,don't need to say I'm really really looking forward to it,That'll be my first time in the US so set the beers up there's gonna be a mini Scot invasion

Re: hello
Hello Macvike. Good to have you here. We have several other fans from across the ocean that should be close by you. If you are going to a December game, then one of them may be the Steelers game. We'll be there. Hope you have a great time while over here too.Macvike wrote:Hi,just saying hello to everybody, hope your all doin well,glad to be aboard the board,I'm Steve from west coast of Scotland,UK coming over in Dec to visit Minnesota and go to the 2 home games,don't need to say I'm really really looking forward to it,That'll be my first time in the US so set the beers up there's gonna be a mini Scot invasion
