What a Weekend for Viking Fans

If you are a Viking football fan (Grand View or Minnesota), then you probably had a pretty good weekend.  If you're a fan of both, then you had a great weekend.  Thankfully, I'm a fan of both teams, so I had a fantastic weekend.  First, on Saturday afternoon Grand View played William Penn University at Williams Stadium in Des Moines.  With the scored tied at 17 with less than 30 seconds left in the game, William Penn attempted a field goal and it was blocked by Grand View.  One of our players picked up the blocked kick and ran it in for a touchdown....game over.  What an exciting conclusion to a hard fought game and to top it off, it was Homecoming Weekend!  In only its second year of life, the Grand View football team is 4-2 heading into this weekend's match up against Quincy University.

Then, last night concluded what would be a great weekend for a true Viking fan.  It's a good day when Minnesota beats Green Bay, but Brett Favre leading the Vikings to victory over the Packers seemed even sweeter!  Argue all you want about how Favre went about it (and I would probably argee with much of it), he's a Viking and I'm loving every minute of it.
