Before There Were Vikings

I just learned something about my Dad. At least, I think I never knew, before. Growing up in Minnesota, before the Vikings existed, his dad used to take him to watch the Packers practice. I always knew my Dad liked the Packers, but I didn't really think about it much--of course, being a Packers fan just seems like a natural thing to me. What's to question? Anyway, the point being, the same can be said of Dad as me: we grew up being Packers fans. Cool.

And then, we both went to the University of Minnesota, and I guess the rest is history. One difference there, being, I bet Dad can remember when the Gophers (football) were good.
